The beast lives out of the raging storm in the dead of night
The ravenous blood-sick creature searches for its sacrifice
Through the hideous darkness, it lurches, driven by death itself
Only the satisfaction of slaughter will cause it to return to
To the darkness from which it came

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu

Boys and girls, it's nighty night time
Happy J the Clown has a nursery rhyme
It's about, The Boogie Woogie Man
Keep your light on as long as you can
'Cause when it cuts off, so does your head
Boogie Woogie Woogie waits under your bed
With a shank, splah! Up through the bottom
Little Jimmy Jimmy
Got 'em

It's the one and only Boogie Man
He creeps, he hides, he sneaks, he slides
If your little feetsies are hanging off the edge of the bed
You're running on stumps motherfucker

Well, moonlight fills the room that you sleep in
Things go bump in the night, me creeping
Ouch, fuck, I stubbed my toe
If you'd just quit leaving your shit all over the fucking floor
Uh, fuck it, you're dead anyway
And I'm gonna leave your head smack dab in the hallway
In the morning, when your daddy walks out
Ah! His foot's in your mouth, thanks to the Boogie Man

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (here comes the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (make way for the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (mom! Dad! ah, ah)

(Does the Boogie Man really exist?)
Well, is your mother a bald-headed freak bitch? Yes
You fall asleep and you wake up dead
With a broken broom sticking out your forehead
I sing lullabies until you dose off
Tie you down and chew your fuckin toes off
And then spit 'em out back in your face
Fuck, wash your feet bitch

The world's famous Boogie Woogie Wu will come to you
Slumber parties, sleepovers, intimate nights
Whatever the occasion for the midnight hour
He will gladly come and fuck that shit up

I don't beat women, fuck that, I'm above it (no, no)
But I'll cut her fucking neck and think nothing of it (uh-huh)
You didn't know the Boogie Man was a clown
But when you see the juggla, your holding your jugular
With a swing, chop, stab, swing, chop
You're holding your neck together, but your nuts drop
And the cops do the best they can
They pull the axe out your face and say
"Was it the Boogie Man?"

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (what was he wearing?) (here comes the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (make way for the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (mom! Dad! ah, ah)

Please don't let me fall asleep
'Cause the Boogie Man will creep
Through my window in my room
Stab me with a broken broom
Please don't let me fall sleep
'Cause the Boogie Man will creep
Through my window, in my room
Sta-,
Boogie Woogie Woogie!"

It's the incredible, undeadable Boogie Man
Go ahead, pull the covers over your head
Hide under 'em, he don't give a fuck
It'll just make it that much more easier
For him to suffocate your face

There's three ways to stop me from doing what I do
What? You think I'm a tell you
(Mom, can you leave the door open a bit?)
Thanks, an easy way in, you fucking idiot
Now I stretch your neck out and play in like a banjo
Boomchicka, boomchicka like that shit, yo?
Then I stretch it out more and fling your head through the wall
It's the Boogie Man y'all

Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (here comes the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (make way for the Boogie Man)
Boogie Woogie Woogie Woogie Wu (mom! Dad! ah, ah)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
