The Boogieman Songtext
von Tech N9ne feat. Stokley & First Degree the D.E.

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 tear
There lies, the Boogieman


No introduction needed
N9ne times you must repeat it
Mind trying just delete it
I′m N9ne's rush to be this rough MC
Who′s gluttony would rhyme grime
Trust believe it
A legend ever since the projects
An odd Tech would get respect when he wreck the set
But never get the props that was god blessed
So this is me, never let the prod rest
The object of rawness dejectin' steps to darkness
Led to the industry whispering the name
History became a mystery
'Cause listeners in the game
Wish to sing the same
Riffs cerebral glitch will lead to lane
And this will be your pit
For me to split then bleed your brain
They heard the name
But cant put a face to it, oh what a shame
When he rains
In the wood he stands still, he turn to lanes
From sane to straight wicked, don′t tell me you ain′t heard the saying
The Boogieman's real

He′s underneath your bed
Trapped inside your head
You tried to fight it
But you decided 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 your 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


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 mics they by-flew,
Out with the ravens, flight to hatin, haven lies you
Cuz 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 fames Strange
And you can maintain
You think you sang such an insane rain, same thang
And I′m the shadow in the dark
That came for battlin' in the park
And they skidaddled when I barked
That give a rattle to their hearts
Cuz they′re afraid that they will all fail
Darkness will prevail
The Boogieman is not a tall tail

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)

He's underneath your bed
Trapped inside your head
You tried to fight it
But you decided 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
