Monotone Lyrics - Singles - T Pain

[Intro/Interlude] 

Could it be it's just that simple now? (x2) 

[Verse 1] 

Yeah, we want that monotone, monotone 

And that's why we all paid this hard-earned money to get packed up in this Thunderdome 

I'm like "What is wrong? For Pneumonia?" cause, man, I spent my whole check 

To hear you talk about yo' life and how you got my check round yo' neck 

We want that monotone, monotone, yeah, yo' album live and all 

To be honest, I ain't think that you were performing live at all 

And God forbid you do it right or how it ought to be sung, nah, nah, nah 

(I'mma need you to do that shit at the top of yo' lungs) 

But I guess, if yo' shit was gonna be monotone, I coulda just 

Saved my check and listen to yo' songs at home cause let's be honest 

I could throw my iPod on and the place'll go stupid 

And I'm lookin' at you, kid, like "I wouldn't let you on for nothing with that bullshit you just did"

But you just laugh, throw money, watch the bitches scatter 

Cause it worked before so why not follow the initial pattern? 

So, while you on vacation, I'll be at home, alone 

In my mirror with a brush and a comb 

Singing that ol' independent song like 

Man, man, man, I wish I was you 

Or at least on yo' level, man, I'd diss the shit outta you 

I don't know if you work tonight, shit, that ain't my business 

But I swear I'm gon' make it, I got God as my witness 

[Hook] (x2) 

I'm gon' see you on my way up and see you on yo' way down 

Cause right now, I'm just another nigga in a hype crowd 

And you don't even know that I been plannin' yo' demise 

So I'll advise you keep yo' eyes on the prize cause I'm on the rise

[Verse 2] 

Yeah, we want that monotone, monotone 

Oh, you better than the peons? And at the end of the night 

You gon' find a bitch with a switch you can pee on 

Oh, you one of them niggas, huh? You laugh cause it's funny 

And I'm one of them niggas like (They should've never gave you niggas money) 

But I done it, made it to the front row and you don't wanna look at a nigga 

I'm making eye contact like a nigga got on five contacts, I'm on my 99/95 back 

You hide in the back cause you tired, out of breath and shit 

You better be glad I paid money, I woulda been left this shit 

Motherfucker, you got fans and we got out motherfucking hands up for everything that you sayin' 

And we wanna be appreciated, I borrowed 20 bucks, I'mma eat the aided 

So you can at least say "Hey, shit", I'm tryna be like you for my three lil' babies 

Jerome and Tanik' and Casey but you looking at me like I need to face it 

[Bridge] 

Fuck my situation cause you just laugh 

Throw money, watch the bitches scatter 

Cause it worked before so why not follow the initial pattern? 

So, while you on vacation, I'll be at home, alone 

In my mirror with a brush and a comb 

Singing that ol' independent song for what? 

Man, man, man, I wish I was you 

Or at least on yo' level, man, I'd diss the shit outta you 

I don't know if you work tonight, shit, that ain't my business 

But I swear I'm gon' make it, I got God as my witness 

[Hook]
