Wow, some cats really deal with rival and war, but I say man, if you deal with war you got to stay far
Cause if you deal with violence, you shall go down in silence
Be an [?] or go over the fence
Go tell you 'bout this kinda thing called self-defense
Really mean with no pretense
You gotta have some kind of patience, you know
You hear 'bout this kinda thing called the Monkey Fashion
Well monkey won't do, I don't know what to say, the monkey won't do
Don't know what to say, the monkey make me feel so blue
More power to this monkey, must be some kind of baddy-boo
Went uptown, monkey went up too
Went downtown, monkey went down there too
Standing on the corner, monkey on the corner too
Try to light my cigarette, monkey light him too

Kinda monkey in the jungle
Tell you, the monkey got to really bungle
The monkey won't do
I don't know what to say, the monkey won't do

So baby, come and try your thing before it get ruined
This monkey kinda dangerous, travelling around town
So brothers and sisters, you got to be brown, and be no clown
Hear what the king of sound is now putting down
Some of them a Ras without their I
Some of them a chant Ras I
Some of them are back on Super Fly
Some of them are really a spy
Music hits, you gotta get high, you know
The monkey man
