Tech N9ne - Boogieman 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 feast And 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 it Mind tryin' to just delete it I'm N9ne supposed to be this rough MC Whose gluttony would rhyme grime Trust, believe it A legend ever since the projects A 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 rest The object of rawness Dejected steps to darkness Led to the industry whispering the name History became a mystery Cause listeners in the game Wish to sing the same Which cerebral glitch will lead to lane And this will be your pit For me to split and 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 to lanes From sane to straight wicked Don't tell me you ain't heard the sayin' “The Boogieman's real” [Hook] 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 Life designed you 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 2] 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 they're like fly-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 Strange And you can't maintain You think you sang such an insane rain Samethang 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 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) [Hook]
