Jealousy, jealousy
You ought to keep it low key
Everything I want
You seek and you hunt
Even though you’ve a lot more to flaunt
All the things I acquire
You always appear to require
Who needs an umpire with your type of envious desire?
Jealousy, jealousy
You ought to keep it low key
You classify yourself in the same category as me
Your burden is heavy with continuous envy
Give me a piece of you and your government
I will show you what I can do as a secondment
I am a river of love
That bends perfectly around curves
Everything I touch turns to gold
While your touch turns all things vigorously old
You want to smoke weed like me
But what an invalid you will be
You want to scale heights as I have done
But you fail to see the light till I am long gone
I am a natural top
You are born a natural flop
No matter how hard you try
The end ends with a bitter cry
Jealousy, jealousy
You ought to keep it low key
With my feet rooted to the ground
I state this quite sane and sound
Wear off that notorious frown
For your head will never fit my crown
No two people are equivalent
With what you have, you should be content
You may be consistently diligent
Only I am far more persistently intelligent
With me you always want to compete
But I look at you like contaminated meat
That I will not even consider as food to eat
Forget ever occupying my seat, admit defeat
Jealousy, jealousy
You ought to keep it low key
We will never be in the same category
Why? Why? Why? After all you do try!
Will always remain a mystery
