Monster Lyrics
[00:04.72] I shoot the lights out
[00:06.65] Hide 'til it's bright out
[00:11.44] Oh, just another lonely night
[00:14.89] Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
[00:20.39]
[00:22.46] Bitch, I'm a monster, no-good bloodsucker
[00:23.29] Fat motherfucker, now look who's in trouble
[00:25.62] As you run through my jungles, all you hear is rumbles
[00:28.29] Kanye West samples, here's one for example
[00:31.24] Gossip, gossip, nigga, just stop it
[00:33.88] Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
[00:38.15] I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
[00:38.93] I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
[00:41.08] Profit, profit, nigga, I got it
[00:43.58] Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
[00:46.15] I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
[00:48.87] I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands
[00:51.26] Uh, the best living or dead hands down, huh
[00:54.16] Less talk, more head right now, huh
[00:56.56] And my eyes more red than the devil is
[00:59.23] And I'm 'bout to take it to another level, bitch
[01:02.19] Matter who you go and get, ain't nobody cold as this
[01:04.33] Do the rap and the track, triple-double, no assists
[01:06.96] And my only focus is stayin' on some bogus shit
[01:09.34] Arguin' with my older bitch, actin' like I owe her shit
[01:12.39] I heard the beat, the same raps that gave the track pain
[01:14.73] Bought the chain that always give me back pain
[01:17.12] Fucking up my money so, yeah, I had to act sane
[01:19.24] Chi nigga, but these hoes love my accent
[01:22.11] Chick came up to me and said, "This the number to dial
[01:24.58] If you wanna make your number one your number two now"
[01:27.27] Mix that Goose and Malibu, I call it "Malibooyah"
[01:29.62] Goddamn, Yeezy always hit 'em with a new style
[01:32.33] Know that motherfucker, well, what you gon' do now?
[01:34.72] Whatever I wanna do, gosh, it's cool now
[01:37.31] Know I'm gonna do, ah, it's the new now

[01:43.51] 'Cause you'll never get on top of this
[01:45.43] So, mami, best advice is just to get on top of this

[01:50.76] Ah, put the pussy in a sarcophagus
[01:53.13] Now she claiming that I bruised her esophagus
[01:55.52] Head of the class and she just won a swallowship
