Lately, I need a better plan
I wanna get my needs out in the dirt, my air
Cause I've been, cerebro's baths
And my head wants to go in to the emerald house
And I wanna look out, I don't wanna bail out
And I wanna help out, I don't wanna nod out
And I wanna help out, I don't wanna bail out
And I wanna look out, I don't want to nod out
I don't wanna knock you down
I don't wanna knock you down
I don't wanna knock you down
I don't wanna knock you down
But why I am still looking for a golden age
Tell me that I ought to have a golden wish
Every time I look up at that blurry sun
All I think about are bodies moving on
Everybody helps you get that special place
Why doesn't everybody always dance?
Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song
Does it not occur almost everyone?
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
And lady, I wanna be in my heart
Where exactly is my heart and where does it start?
Get us in and make ways for the crushin' clam
I can help the little things, but I'll be glad!
So I wanna look out
I don't wanna bail out
And I wanna help out
I don't wanna lie down
And I wanna look out
I don't wanna bail out
And I wanna help out
I don't wanna nod out
I don't wanna knock you down
I don't wanna knock you down
I don't wanna knock you down
I don't wanna knock you down
But why I am still looking for a golden age
Tell me that I ought to to have a golden wish
Every time I look up at that blurry sun
All I think about are bodies moving on
Everybody helps you get that special place
Why doesn't everybody always dance?
Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song
Does it not occur almost everyone?
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I like to rule, I like to rule
I like to rule, I like to rule
I like to rule, I like to rule
Why I am still looking for a golden age
Tell me that I ought to have a golden wish
Every time I look up at that blurry sun
All I think about are spirits floating up
Everybody helps you get that special place
Why doesn't everybody always dance?
Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song
Does it not occur almost everyone?
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
I make a monkey rich
To me it sounds a lot more like an observation of lifestyle. It almost seems as if he believes HE makes it monkey rich... Then again who knows, however the listener takes it will probably be more meaningful to them than someone's else's opinion odelayo bagels uhhh dot
