Tech N9ne - The Boogie man Lyrics
[Intro]And just when they thought that everything was peachy keen,Somewhere deep within the shadows,There were other things to be seen.An untamable beast with an urge to feastAnd only alone would he stand, the culprit of fear on the 67th tier,There lies the Boogieman. [Verse 1]No introduction needed N9ne times you must repeat itMind tryin’ to just delete itI'm N9ne supposed to be this rough MCWhose gluttony would rhyme grimeTrust, believe it. A legend ever since the projectsA odd tech would get respect When he wreck the set but never get the props That was god blessed.So this is me, never lettin’ the crowd restThe object of rawness Dejected steps to darknessLed to the industry whispering the nameHistory became a mystery Cause listeners in the game Wish to sing the sameWhich cerebral glitch will lead to laneAnd this will be your pit,For me to split and bleed your brainThey heard the nameBut can't put a face with it, Oh what a shame. When it rains in the woods he stands still. He turns to lanes.From sane to straight wicked, Don't tell me you ain’t heard the sayin’,“The Boogieman’s realâ€[Chorus]He's underneath your bed.Trapped inside your head.You try to fight it,But you decide it's just thatBoogieman.We fear what we can't see.This web’s a tangled weave.Life designed youTo try and blind youFrom that Boogieman. And in that voice you hear,'Eliminate your fears'What do you do? Discover the truthThat it’s the BoogiemanAnd now you know it's realAnd everything you feelHits you again, you will standFace-to-face with that Boogieman.[Verse 2]They don't wanna have to try to do as I doThat's probably why it ain’t been easy for me to slide throughI chew rappers up, on stage and mics they by-flew, Out with the ravens, flight to hatin’, haven lies you.Cause you don't want change,And you don't want strange, Rearranging the main lanes to brain games from plain jane.That's when your fame’s StrangeAnd you can’t maintainYou think you sang such an insane rain, SamethangAnd I'm the shadow in the darkThat came for battlin’ the park,And they skidaddled when I barked,It gave a rattle to their hearts.Cause they're afraid they will all failDarkness will prevailThe Boogieman is not a tall tale.What a tough act to follow.You afraid? Tell me are ya?When this came you were nada.Tell your lane ‘sayonara’(The Boogieman, the Boogieman)[Chorus]He's underneath your bed.Trapped inside your head.You try to fight it,But you decide it's just thatBoogieman.We fear what we can't see.This web’s a tangled weave.But life designed youTo try and blind youFrom that Boogieman.
