andrew sam - sun wukong lyrics
[hook: andrew sam]
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
[verse 1: andrew sam]
picture this: a stone, and it developed a womb
out of that came me, a stone monkey who would bloom
they didn’t think i was a threat, but they will soon
quickly growing up, then i’m coming at you
i made a few friends, then they made me their king
that’s a good sound. “monkey king” has a nice ring
i hopped up in the sea, then i got me a staff
you wouldn’t believe me, if i told you, you’d laugh
but i’ll say it anyways, this staff weighs eight tons
took it from a dragon king, it made me its chosen one
it can change its size / it can multiply
bottom line: it’s mine / winning all my fights
[hook: andrew sam]
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
[verse 2: andrew sam]
let me say this to challengers who may be so bold:
not even h-ll was able to collect my soul
i erased my name from the book of life and death
no reincarnation so i draw the same breath
real recognize real, so i know that heaven’s fake
they recruited me, but then they made a mistake
gave me the lowest job, didn’t acknowledge me
if anything, they owed me an apology
too strong for them, and they know that’s a part of me
spitting on my name, while acting like they honor me
so i took myself a peach of immortality
time to rebel, make them wish they never battled me
[hook: andrew sam]
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
[verse 3: andrew sam]
100,000 soldiers, all felled by my hand
28 constellations, 4 heavenly kings, and
i beat erlang shen, too, got all of heaven shook
got captured by a fluke, they boiled me to cook
i came out stronger, ready for a second look
don’t mess with me, or you’ll get the left and right hook
so buddha bet i couldn’t escape from his palm
i bet that i could, but it turns out i was wrong
i leapt away from him, then i found five pillars
signed my name on one, but they were buddha’s fingers
he closed his hand, and got me trapped in a mountain
trapped for 5 centuries, despite all my shoutin’
[hook: andrew sam]
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
a westward journey / it won’t take too long
you know me from books / now here is my song
i’m the monkey king / call me sun wukong
