Monkey Hill Lyrics - Govt Mule - Gov't Mule

Last night and the night before 

The thunder crowed and the rooster roared 

I woke up sweating on somebody's floor 

You know how the story goes 

The dirty streets, they can be so mean 

Everybody trying to live so clean 

Me, I'm stuck here in between 

And it's a fine line 

Down on monkey hill 

Saw a brother screaming on the corner 

Talkin' 'bout some low down dirty shame 

And he said, 

"Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name"

Between the buildings and the alleyways 

That's where the living is done 

Where the young boys chase the dragon 

That's where flesh and steel are one 

Down on monkey hill 

Saw another brother testifying this morning 

Talkin' 'bout how he lost everything 

And he said, 

"Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" 

Everybody's talking shit and jivin' 

Hard to tell which is which 

Dealers and healers 

Businessmen and bankers 

They all be scratchin' that itch

Down on monkey hill 

Saw another brother testifying this evening 

Talkin' 'bout how he left his soul in denang 

And he said, 

"Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" 

Gonna get so high 

I don't know my name 

Down on monkey hill
