Sand Monkey

[Intro - Akmal Saleh]
If they want you to be the token Arab, what’s the big deal?
Use it to your advantage, take their money
They make you dance like a monkey, that’s alright
You’re Kid Pharaoh
Well so what? Get out there you sand monkey!

[Verse 1]
Get up on the stage
Dance for the people, dance for the people
“Token Boy”
Tell ‘em your name
Let ‘em all meet you, let ‘em all meet you
Raise your voicе
Do your thing
They here to see you, hеre to see you
Make some noise
Scream your pain
They love when you say your people ain’t equal and yeah
They love it when you talk about your skin
They love it when you say you don’t fit in
The radio needs something to go play that can fill their diversity quotas in
So get up in the booth, yeah we want a little truth
But most off we want some trauma
Get your brown ass on that stage and sing these songs just like you wanna

[Hook]

If they want you to be the Sand Monkey, say yeah I’ll be the Sand Monkey!)

[Verse 2]
Shake a leg
Break a sweat
Boy do your dance for the bread
Shake a leg
Break a sweat
Oh you love me now? I ain’t forget
Throwing riots, want the sand monkeys off your beach
Let’s find those camel riders, go and beat ‘em on the street
(Anything that makes you stand out, cannot be a bad thing)
Now they got sand monkey on payroll
Monkey do whatever they say so
Go head tell ‘em all your name
Tap dance for the man, are you entertained?
Sign your name
Don’t you want the fame?
Here’s a bag
You can make it rain
I can erase all of your pain
Just do one thing for me

[Hook]

You were born to look like this!)
