The Boogieman - Tech N9ne

The Boogieman

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, dont 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 dont 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 dont want change

And you dont 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 theyre afraid 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
