Translation
Bilingual
Woke up the night before
Woke up sweating, but somebody's gone
You know how the story goes
Dirty streets, they can be so mean
Everybody trying to live so clean
Me, I'm stuck here working in between
It's a fine line
Down on Monkey Hill
Some brother screaming on the corner
Talking 'bout some low down dirty shame
He said, "I get so high that I just don't know my name"
ย
Between the buildings and the alleyways
Is where the living is done
It's where the young boys chase the big guns
It's where flesh and steel are one
Down on Monkey Hill
Some brother screaming on the corner
Talking 'bout some low down dirty shame
He said, "I get so high that I just don't know my name"
ย
Everybody's talking, shifty, jiving
Hard to tell which is which
Dealers and squealers, businessmen and bankers
They all be scratching that itch
Down on Monkey Hill
Some little brother stressed to find this morning
Talking 'bout some empty soul and dead name
He said, "I get so high that I just don't know my name"
ย
Gonna get high
Don't know my name
Down on Monkey Hill
