[00:04.551] Hear this
[00:13.981] Three monkeys sitting under a coconut tree （really ）
[00:16.721] Discussing things as they are said to be
[00:18.901] Said one to the others now listen you two
[00:21.701] There's a strange rumor that can't be true
[00:23.911] They say man was ascended from our noble race
[00:26.471] But the very idea is a big disgrace
[00:28.721] No monkey ever deserted his wife
[00:31.491] Or her baby to ruin their lives
[00:33.981] Yeah
[00:34.711] The monkeys drift is mine （that's right）

[00:40.991] And start make it hard for both di boys and di girls
[00:43.541] Dem steal all di Africans diamonds and pearls
[00:45.891] And start bank it up inna federal reserves
[00:48.561] And then Rasta f**k it up and insight riot

[00:58.761]

[01:00.21] Imagine after so much chantin and preyers
[01:01.401] But a revolutionary situation requires
[01:03.911] Mi fi come tear off unno face wid pliers
[01:06.471] Surround dem ends wid all some burning tires
[01:09.91] Round up dem friends and put dem pon trials
[01:11.821] Until dem send di reparation dollars
[01:13.791] Warning to all di political scholars
[01:16.741] Political thieves and political liars
[01:19.211] Political coc*ine and gun suppliers
[01:21.761] Di whole a dem a go down inna flames and fires
[01:24.701] Well unno better fly out like some frequent fliers
