I aint no monkey locked in no damn cage
with a wife and kids and a 401k
and I don't care what the people say
I aint plain I'm just a product of a different plane
and they say...
I aint no letter on no doctor's screen
you don't need 20/20 vision just to look at me
I have a vision of my own to keep
with my own two feet for myself to see
because...
heard these rumors spreadin all over town
I spend my life tryna bring em' all down
I aint alone, I aint afraid
I aint no monkey or no puppy you can teach to stay
I'm alright, I'm still alive,
I'm gonna piece it all together when the time feels right
I aint no portrait in no picture frame
with a white picket fence and a family name
and I don't care what a picture can say
with a thousand words or a thousand complaints
and they say...
I aint no critic stuck within it stuck
I don't need paper and a pencil just to tell you your song sucks
I got a painting on the wall or two
I aint no critic so my point of view will have to do
Everyone's a critic in this one horse town
they spend their lives tryna bring me down
I aint alone, I aint afraid
I aint no monkey or no puppy you can teach to stay
I'm alright, I'm still alive,
I'm gonna piece it all together when the time feels right
I aint alone, I aint afraid
I aint no monkey or no puppy you can teach to stay
I'm alright, I'm still alive,
I'm gonna piece it all together when the time feels right
