Monster
Kanye West Feat. Jay-Z Rick Ross Bon Iver & Nicki Minaj Lyrics

I shoot the lights out
I am confident and bold, always aiming for success and standing out from the rest.

Hide 'til it's bright out
I wait patiently until the perfect moment to shine and reveal my true talents and abilities.

Oh, just another lonely night
Despite my success, I often feel isolated and misunderstood, experiencing moments of loneliness.

Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
In order to achieve greatness, one must be willing to make sacrifices and dedicate their entire existence to their craft.

Bitch, I'm a monster no-good blood sucker
I am an unstoppable force, someone who takes advantage of others and feeds off their energy and success.

Fat motherfucker, now look who's in trouble
Despite my appearance and critics, I have proven everyone wrong and risen to power, causing trouble for those who doubted me.

As you run through my jungles, all you hear is rumbles
When faced with the challenges and obstacles in my world, all you can hear is the unstoppable force and impact I have on the industry.

Kanye West's sample, here's one for example
I use Kanye West's sample as a metaphor for utilizing his influence and style to create my own unique sound, setting an example for others.

Gossip, gossip, nigga, just stop it
There is no need for the spread of rumors and negativity, it's time to put an end to it.

Everybody know (I'm a motherfuckin' monster)
It's a widely known fact that I am an exceptional and unstoppable force in the music industry.

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

Profit, profit, nigga, I got it
I am extremely financially successful, always focused on increasing my profits and success.

Uh, the best livin' or dead hands down, huh
Confidently claiming the title of being the greatest artist of all time, surpassing both the living and the deceased.

Less talk, more head right now, huh
I prefer actions over empty words, emphasizing the importance of executing and achieving goals instead of talking about them.

And my eyes more red than the devil is
My eyes are intense and filled with passion, reflecting a level of determination and intensity that even surpasses that of the devil.

And I'm 'bout to take it to another level, bitch
I am on the verge of reaching new heights and pushing boundaries, ready to take my career to unprecedented levels of success.

Matter who you go and get, ain't nobody cold as this
No matter who you compare me to, there is no one who can match my talent and innovation.

Do the rap and the track, triple-double, no assists
I excel at both delivering powerful rap verses and producing exceptional music, achieving success without any assistance or help.

And my only focus is stayin' on some bogus shit
I am fully committed to maintaining a controversial and provocative image, pushing the boundaries and constantly challenging norms.

Arguin' with my older bitch, actin' like I owe her shit
Dealing with disagreements and conflicts with an ex-partner who believes they are entitled to things they do not deserve or have earned.

She came up to me and said, 'This the number to dial'
A woman approached me and willingly gave me her contact information, expressing her interest and desire to establish a connection.

If you wanna make it number one, you're number two now

Mix that Goose and Malibu, I call it 'Malibooyauh'

'Cause you will never get on top off this

My advice to women is to align themselves with my success and influence, as being associated with me will bring them the most benefits and opportunities.

Have you ever had sex with a pharaoh?
I am so powerful and influential that being intimate with me can be likened to having a sexual encounter with an ancient Egyptian king.
