歌词
[Verse 1]
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 the urge to feast
And only alone would he stand
The culprit of fear on the 67th tier
There lies the Boogieman
[Verse 2]
No introduction needed
Nine times, you must repeat it
Mind tryin' to just delete it
I'm N9ne, supposed to be this rough emcee
Whose gluttony would rhyme grime
Trust, believe it
A legend ever since the projects
An odd tech would get respect
When he'd wreck the set, but never get the props
That was God blessed
So this is me, never lettin' the crowd rest
The object, the rawness, dejected steps to darkness
Led to the industry whisperin' the name
History became a mystery 'cause listeners in the game
Wish to sing the same riffs, cerebral glitch will lead to lame
And this will be your pit for me that'll split then bleed your brain
They heard the name, but can't put a face with it
Oh, what a shame, when it rains in the woods, he stands still
He turns the lanes from saint to straight wicked
Don't tell me you ain't heard the saying
The Boogieman's real
[Verse 3]
He's underneath your bed
Trapped inside your head
You try to fight it
But you decide it's just that Boogieman
We fear what we can't see
This web's a tangled weave
Of life designed to try and blind you
From that Boogieman
And in that voice, you hear
Eliminate your fears
What do you do? Discover the truth
That it's the Boogieman
And now you know it's real
And everything you feel
Hits you again, you will stand
Face to face with that Boogieman
[Verse 4]
They don't wanna have to try to do as I do
That's probably why it ain't been easy for me to slide through
I chew rappers up on stage and mic's, they fly, flew
Out with the ravens, flight to hatin', haven lies you
'Cause you don't want change and you don't want strange
Rearrangin' the main lanes to brain games from Plain Jane
That's when your fame's strange and you can't maintain
You think you sang such an insane rain, same thang
And I'm the shadow in the dark that 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 fail
Darkness will prevail, the boogieman is not a tall tale
[Verse 5]
What a tough act to follow
You afraid? Tell me, are ya?
When this came, you were nada
Tell your lane sayonara
[Verse 6]
The Boogieman
The Boogieman
[Verse 7]
Ah, ah
Ah
[Verse 8]
He's underneath your bed
Trapped inside your head
You try to fight it
But you decide it's just that Boogieman
We fear what we can't see
This web's a tangled weave
Of life designed to try and blind you
From that Boogieman
