Decorated Monkey Lyrics

Hello, my fellow decorated monkeys

You see these other monkeys will never understand what it means to be truly decorated

Robbed of joy

Never understood what true freedom was

Reading all the time

Trying to top all classes cos losing was a crime

Bullied and mocked cause our sights were covered in glasses

Passes was the closest we could get to sagging cos that was extremely below the belt

Fashion was never an option to be a passion

Music and dance was never given a chance

Expectations were high to do better and be better

Even in high school where teens had to be teens

And never had to necessarily do better

But we clever, so we had to do better

Than our decorated parents dignity

You see decoration comes with great responsibility

We cannot be disappointments

Studying could heal better than ointments

So even though we were forced to believe in God

We understood that it's only because these other monkeys will always believe in God,

So the odds of us having a shot at the leading spots upstairs

Will be to believe because it's all about numbers

Our fathers and the mothers and the fathers and mothers before them

Our bosses and the bosses before them

Made sure we had everything we had to be just like them

And now here we are, yeah yeah

We made it here, yeah yeah

Amongst the unfortunate we are fortunate

Amongst the poor we are rich

Amongst the weak we are strong

Amongst the dull minds we are the brightest

We are the decorated monkeys of our time

Our children's children's children will be the decorated monkeys of their time

Their degrees and masters and PhD's

Now they see we're masters, but we choose not to apply that overseas

We are the decorated monkeys

They do not have the capacity to lead

We do

It's OK for us to be filled with greed

We are not going to vote for you again, yes please do

Cause we don't need you

We are the decorated monkeys

My skin is covered in foreign clothes

My tongue rolls like a foreign tongue

That's why you can never be like me

That's why you can never speak like me

That's why you can never think like me

They believe anything we tell them

We control everything and everything controls them

May God help them, but not even God will listen to them

Cause we built him a mansion

So their leaders could have an expansion

And now their leaders are our best distraction

We are the decorated monkeys

Always will be decorated
