When you look

What do you see

You only see the monkey not the man in me

But now I'm back

And that's a fact

Gonna show the next generation where I'm at

What I mean is to say

The way that I was is the same as I am today

Now if you're white

Or if you're black

Remember you can't get the monkey off your back

And now you're running and you're running and you're running away

You're running from the monkey man

And now you're running and you're running and you're running away

You're running from the monkey man

I was lost

But now I'm found

Some might even say that I've been around

With the crowd I would move

Mr

Sophisticated just can't lose

Now in the style that I was dressed

I was the steady reason no one could test

Yeah I was smart and I was cool

No matter how hard they tried I was no ones fool

And now you're running and you're running and you're running away

You're running from the monkey man

And now you're running and you're running and you're running away

You're running from the monkey man

Did you hear what I say

Now did you hear what I say

When you look

What do you see

You only see the monkey not the man in me

But now I'm back

And that's a fact

Gonna show the next generation where I'm at

What I mean is to say

The way that I was is the same as I am today

And if you're white

Or if you're black

Remember you can't get the monkey off your back

And now you're running and you're running and you're running away

You're running from the monkey man
