[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
