[Intro: will.i.am]

Yeah

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Yeah

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Check it

[Verse 1: will.i.am, Black Eyed Peas]

I got something that I really wanna say

It's been on my mind and it goes this way

Concerns about society

And while I got a chance I'ma say it (Hey)

We got teachers teachin' crap to the kids

Equivalent to selling crack to the kids

That's why the world's so addicted to fear, Monkey Business

[Chorus: will.i.am, Black Eyed Peas]

You see my inside

Said something ain't right

I've got a mouth fright

I say it outright

I'll make a statement

State my opinion

Maybe my action

Gives inspiration

To make them hear you

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

(Hey)

Hey mister, something's wrong

We know something's going on

You know something we should know

(Hey, hey, you, you)

[Post-Chorus: Fergie]

Oh, and where do they owe

When they don't say what they know?

Oh, your life you own

Things you must say, let me know

[Verse 2: will.i.am]

There's some things that I really wanna know

Check it out now, 'cause this is how it go

Look, we could go and buy tobacco

But apparently, weed's illegal

If the world's so technological

Then why do we run cars off of oil?

Gas and plastic all for oil

We went to war for oils

When it boils down to

(To, to, to, to, to, to)

[Chorus: will.i.am, Black Eyed Peas]

You see my inside

Said something ain't right

I've got a mouth fright

I say it outright

I'll make a statement

State my opinion

Maybe my action

Gives inspiration

To make them hear you

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

(Hey)

Hey mister, something's wrong

We know something's going on

You know something we should know

(Hey, hey, you, you)

[Post-Chorus: Fergie]

Oh, and where do they owe

When they don't say what they know

Oh, your life you own

Things you must say, let me know

[Bridge: will.i.am]

This is Monkey Business

I got my rights, what is this?

This can't be life or is it?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

This is Monkey Business

I got my rights, what is this?

This can't be life or is it?

No, no, no, no

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

Make them hear you

[Outro: Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am]

(Hey!) Hey mister, something's wrong

We know something's going on

You know something we should know

Why don't you just let us know?

(Make them hear you)

La-la-la-la-la

(Hear you)

La-la-la-la-la

(Hear you)

La-la-la-la-la

(Hear you)

La-la-la-la-la

(Come on, hey)

Hey mister, something's wrong

We know something's going on

You know something we should know

Hey, hey, you, you
