  • I shoot the lights out
    Hide 'til it's bright out
    Oh, just another lonely night
    Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
    Ah

    Bitch, I'm a monster no-good blood sucker
    Fat motherfucker, now look who's in trouble
    As you run through my jungles, all you hear is rumbles
    Kanye Wests sample, here's one for example

    Gossip, gossip, nigga, just stop it
    Everybody know (I'm a motherfuckin' monster)
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    Profit, profit, nigga, I got it
    Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands

    Uh, the best livin' or dead hands down, huh
    Less talk, more head right now, huh
    And my eyes more red than the devil is
    And I'm 'bout to take it to another level, bitch
    Matter who you go and get, ain't nobody cold as this
    Do the rap and the track, triple-double, no assists
    And my only focus is stayin' on some bogus shit
    Arguin' with my older bitch, actin' like I owe her shit
    I heard the beat, the same raps that give the track pain
    Bought the chain that always give me back pain
    Fuckin' up my money so, yeah, I had to act sane
    Chi nigga but these hoes love my accent
    She came up to me and said, "This the number to dial"
    If you wanna make it number one, you're number two now
    Mix that Goose and Malibu, I call it "Malibooyauh"
    Goddamn, Yeezy always hit 'em with a new style
    Know that motherfucker, well, what you gon' do now?
    Whatever ever I wanna do, gosh, it's cool now
    Know I'm gonna do, ah, it's the new now
    Think you motherfuckers really really need to cool out
    'Cause you will never get on top off this
    So, mami, best advice is just to get on top of this
    Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh?
    Ah, put the pussy in a sarcophagus
    Now she claimin' that I bruised her esophagus
    Head of the class and she just won a swallowship
    I'm livin' in the future so the present is my past
    My presence is a present, kiss my ass

    Gossip, gossip, nigga, just stop it
    Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    Profit, profit, nigga, I got it
    Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands

    Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong, Lochness
    Goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscience
    Question, what do these things all have in common?
    Everybody knows I'm a motherfuckin' monster
    Conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense
    Nonsense, none of you niggas know where the swamp is
    None of you niggas have seen the carnage that I've seen
    I still here fiends scream in my dreams
    Murder, murder in black convertibles
    I kill a block I murder avenues, ah
    Rape and pillage a village, women and children
    Everybody wanna know what my Achilles heel is
    Love, I don't get enough of it
    All I get is these vampires and blood suckers
    All I see is these niggas I made millionaires
    Millin' about, spillin' they feelings in the air
    All I see is these fake fucks with no fangs
    Tryna draw blood from my ice-cold veins
    I smell a massacre
    Seems to be the only way to back you bastards up

    Gossip, gossip, nigga, just stop it
    Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    Profit, profit, nigga, I got it
    Everybody know I'm a motherfuckin' monster
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands at the concert
    I'ma need to see your fuckin' hands

    Pull up in the monster, automobile gangsta
    With a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka
    Yeah, I'm in that Tonka, color of Willy Wonka
    You could be the king but watch the Queen conquer
    Okay, first things first I'll eat your brains
    Then I'ma start rockin' gold teeth and fangs
    'Cause that's what a motherfuckin' monster do
    Hairdresser from Milan, that's the monster 'do
    Monster Giuseppe heel, that's the monster shoe
    Young money is the roster and the monster crew
    And I'm all up, all up, all up in the bank with the funny face
    And if I'm fake, I ain't notice 'cause my money ain't
    So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie?
    But my features and my shows ten times your pay?
    Fifty K for a verse, no album out
    Yeah, my money's so tall that my Barbies gotta climb it
    Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate, violent
    Tony Matterhorn, dutty wine it, wine it
    Nicki on them titties when I sign it
    That's how these niggas so one-track minded
    But really, really I don't give a F-U-C-K
    "Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki 'cause sh-she's fake"
    "She on a diet," but my pockets eatin' cheesecake
    And I'll say bride of Chucky is child's play
    Just killed another career it's a mild day
    Besides, Ye, they can't stand besides me
    I think me, you and Amb' should ménage Friday
    Pink wig, thick ass, give 'em whip lash
    I think big, get cash, make 'em blink fast
    Now look at what you just saw, this is what you live for
    Ah, I'm a motherfuckin' monster

    I, I crossed the limelight
    And I'll, I'll let God decide-cide
    And I, I wouldn't last these shows
    So I, I am headed home (headed home)

    I, I crossed the limelight
    And I'll, I'll let God decide-cide
    And I, I wouldn't last these shows
    So I, I am headed home (headed home)

    I, I crossed the limelight (no, the limelight)
    And I'll, I'll let God decide-cide
    And I, I wouldn't last these shows
    So I, I am headed home (headed home) Writer/s: Ben Broffman, Daniel Lynas, Harley Wetheimer, Justin Deyarmond Edison Vernon, Kanye Omari West, Malik Yusef El Shabbaz Jones, Michael G. Dean, Onika Tanya Maraj, Patrick Reynolds, Shawn C. Carter, William Leonard Roberts

  • Kristine from AsiaEvery now and then I listen to Pop Rap music but I wouldn't call myself a fan of this genre. It's too noisy and fast paced for my liking. But the lyrics are what I'm after when I listen to these songs. They are full of angst and there is no shortage of bad language, they feel betrayed and they talk about being misfits of society, but they are interesting because of their rawness which conveys genuine emotion. It was always obvious that Kanye's a really talented musician but I couldn't understand why he is showing himself off as a bigheaded, and better-than-everybody kind of person. Probably it's his way of staying relevant in this age of ruthless critiques and cynical listeners. It's not wise of me to question his ways since he is the one living in the world of marketable music. I bet he knows how to play it well so I'll stop questioning his tactics. It was nice to know though that Nikki Minaj constructs her own verses. I liked her before for being an awesome performer, and I like her more now that I know she creates her own music.
