Def Monkey

She walks in the streets

But she doesn't say nothing

Notorious is the house she lives in

There are whispering voices all around

If you were to ever live anywhere

This wouldn't be the place

For mystery is all around us

And its many states;

One morning there would be yelling

And one night there would be murder

To catch a thief would be hideous

For they always get away

Def monkey selling drugs on the streets

For he is a little boy without structure,

Def monkey fighting with his homies

And nobody cares...

Homeless people fighting in the streets

For nobody cares...

Def monkey is everywhere

Lord help me if he chases the stars away

And the clouds seem so loud

For the noise is utter destruction

And the rage is limited without cause;

Def monkey on the streets fighting every day

For welfare is no joke

Politicians be trippin'

'Cause they don't know what they talkin' 'bout;

And def monkey swears

By the pain he's living

For he leaves no legacy behind

And the girl in the wayward house

Is dead...

Prostitution everywhere,

Where are the roses when they're dead?

I wonder about the institution in my mind

And suicide is legal,

Just ask these shady politicians

For love is a third world country.
