Lyrics

[Intro]

I shoot the lights out

Hide till it's bright out

Whoa, just another lonely night

Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

[Verse 1]

****, I'm a monster, no good blood sucker

Fat ****, now look who's in trouble

As you run through my jungles, all you hear is rumbles

Kanye West samples, here's one for example

[Chorus]

Gossip, gossip, ****, just stop it

Everybody know I'm a **** monster

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

Profit, profit, ****, I got it

Everybody know I'm a **** monster

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

I'ma need to see your **** hands

[Verse 2]

Uh, the best, livin' or dead, hands down, huh

Less talk, more **** right now, huh

And my eyes more red than the devil is

And I'm 'bout to take it to another level, ****

None of who you go and get, ain't nobody cold as this

Do the rap and the track, triple-double, no assist

And my only focus is stayin' off some bogus ****

Argue with my older ****, actin' like I owe her ****

I heard the beat, the same raps that gave the track pain

Bought the chain that always give me back pain

**** up my money so, yeah, I had to act sane

Chi-****, but these **** love my accent

She came up to me and said, "This the number to dial

If you wanna make your number one your number two now"

Mix that Goose and Malibu, I call it Malibooyah

**** damn, Yeezy, how we hit 'em with a new style?

Know that ****, well, what you gon' do now?

Whatever I wanna do, gosh, it's cool now

Know I'm gonna do, ah, it's the new now

Think you **** really, really need to cool down

'Cause you will never get on top of this

So, mami, best advice is just to get on top of this

Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh?

Ah, put the **** 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 ****

[Chorus]

Gossip, gossip, ****, just stop it

Everybody know I'm a **** monster

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

Profit, profit, ****, I got it

Everybody know I'm a **** monster

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

I'ma need to see your **** hands

[Verse 3]

Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong

Loch Ness, goblin, ghoul, a zombie with no conscience

Question, what do these things all have in common?

Everybody knows I'm a **** monster

Conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense

Nonsense, none of you **** know where the swamp is

None of you **** have seen the carnage that I've seen

I still hear fiends scream, in my dreams

Murder, murder in black convertibles, I

Kill a block, I murdered the avenues, I

Rape and pillage your 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 **** I've made millionaires

Millin' about, spillin' they feelings in the air

All I see is these fake **** with no fangs

Tryna draw blood from my ice cold veins

I smell a massacre

Seems to be the only way to back you **** up

[Chorus]

Gossip, gossip, ****, just stop it

Everybody know I'm a **** monster

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

Profit, profit, ****, I got it

Everybody know I'm a **** monster

I'ma need to see your **** hands at the concert

I'ma need to see your **** hands

[Verse 4]

Pull up in the monster, automobile gangsta

With a bad **** 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 **** monster do

Hairdresser from Milan, that's the monster 'do

Monster Giuseppe heel, that's the monster shoe

Young Money is the roster and a 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?

50K 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 **** when I sign it

That's how these **** so one-track minded

But really, really, I don't give a F-U-****-K

"Forget Barbie, **** Nicki, 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 Am' should ménage Friday

Pink wig, thick ****, 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 **** monster

[Outro]

I, I crossed the limelight

And I'll, I'll let God decide, -cide

I, I wouldn't last these shows

So I, I am headed home, home

I, I crossed the limelight

And I'll, I'll let God decide, -cide

I, I wouldn't last these shows

So I, I am headed home, home

I, I crossed the limelight (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, home
