20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

When you know that it's good 

And you know that it's hot 

All the girlies want a piece of what you've got 

When a man is a man 

And it's all in his face 

He's 'gon jump all on it 

Cause it be's that way 

Gotta get up on it 

Put that heart aside 

Ain't about that lovin' 

It's all about that pride 

If you do unto him 

What he does all the time 

That's the only thing for sure 

To keep that nickel in line 

You gotta go

Shock dat monkey 

Shock 'em good shock 'em good 

Shock dat monkey 

Hey, hey, hey, hey 

Shock dat monkey 

Shock 'em good, shock 'em good 

Shock dat monkey 

If he plays in the field 

And he's shamin' your name 

Got no time for tears 

You can get in the game 

If a man is a man 

And he calls you a ho 

Ain't no point in playin' 

If he doesn't know (yeah) 

Don't let him know 

If you don't go through it 

And if it blows 

Hey just don't sweat it 

Now you're in control 

If you just don't screw it 

Shock him before 

He knows you know so 

Hook 2 times 

Yo you wanna know somethin' I'm in a situation 

Like it or not it's you, your own creation 

Lendin' a leg cause you ain't too proud to beg 

For a quick sensation invitation 

And bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am 

Lend a hand can't dare you to give a damn 

'cause his story can be my story too 

Ooohhh monkey see monkey do 

When you know that it's good 

And you know that it's hot 

All the girlies want a piece of what you've got 

When a man is a man 

And it's all in his face 

He's 'gon just all on it 

Cause it be's that way (yeah) 

Hook 

Yo it ain't cool and as a matter of fact 

Get the monkey up off your back 

And when he wanna know where you're at 

Get the monkey up off your back 

Even if he don't like it like dat 

Get the monkey up off your back 

You gotta keep 'em intact 

Get that monkey up offa your back 

Hook 

Gotta get up on 

Put that heart aside 

It ain't about that lovin' 

It's all about that pride 

If you do into him 

What he does all the time 

That's the only thing for sure 

To keep that nickel in line 

Hey 

Yo it ain't cool and as a matter of fact 

Get the monkey up off your back 

And when he wanna know where you're at 

Get the monkey up off your back 

Even if he don't like it like dat 

Get the monkey up off your back 

You gotta keep 'em intact 

Get that monkey up offa your back 

Hook 2 times
