Same Weather from Goodwill Jester by Prathik Bendapudi

I don’t care what I make,
I don’t care what I do
Monkey see
Monkey wanna be an entreprenoo



Take your shoes off, it’s a temple man

Drinks on your left

Smokes in your right hand



How can’t you understand,
I’m screaming

How can you laugh, when I’m crying?

How can’t you be on my side

Don’t look right at me
It’s a trap


This monkey isn’t yet what he wants to be

This monkey can’t tell real life from movies

This monkey is unashamed today
Tomorrow this monkey will pay



For this man, prayer is useless

For this man, god has long since died

He only comes now to light his smoke

The only hands that touch him are the ones around his throat 



Who’s stealing what from a temple?

Who owns the things you’ve offered up?

I’d never judge the love you have for a rock

Please reduce my sentence
I promise I had my shoes off


This man, I cannot dare speak for

This man is in nobody’s pocket,
and in nobody’s control

This man you keep out the door today

tomorrow the toll we pay
