Candyman
Rocom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was calling on a landline
That's a bad sign
Out the gates I'm afraid you're too good for a fat guy
Got a Black eye, a fat lip too
Shave her whole head like I'm SUM 42
And I don't wanna do my chores
Wax on then I sand the floor
She's a fan of ghosts, she don't like gore
Chewed a whole lot, but she might bite more
Got fangs like a cobra
Halloween born in October
And I'll stand around like you ain't down
Im a meme thinking in the corner
And damn you ugly
That's okay because I'm lonely
If you had a chance with my battle axe
I got two at home so let's party
Let me see just a show of hands
How many y'all down with the Candyman
Looking in the mirror do it just for fun
Say it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and
Let me see just a show of hands
How many y'all down with the Candyman
Looking in the mirror do it just for fun
Say it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
It's on go and get it
Take two pills for your headache
I've got a chainsaw off of Cape Cod
That'll saw right through your fresh linens
Check it
Middle of the night, going down I-5
Swerving all lanes with a broke taillight
got her in sight and she's got big plums
Down at the lake nobody gets none
Short-shorts with the long hair
She's bang a dork like I won't care
So I just stare like a bad art piece
Beast with a brush, yes I'm an artist
Black beret behind the black parade
Got you in the dark for my masquerade
Can't see my face, you know I'm here
Tits out, let's go, get your hands in the air like
Let me see just a show of hands
How many y'all down with the Candyman
Looking in the mirror do it just for fun
Say it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and
Let me see just a show of hands
How many y'all down with the Candyman
Looking in the mirror do it just for fun
Say it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Oh Sidney, ghost ride my Bentley
Forget the ending my gas is empty
At the red light we'll stop now go
Busy cleaning out pipes like I'm Mario
All I wanna know is who did it
I'm strong, I'm bad, my cheat is to the limit
I'm a get it to the gut like a knife
Can't finish what we started last night
I'm a cynic, yes it all ends bad
Bad like the first tracks out the aftermath
No boys allowed, busy broke and proud
Like I'm giving up my paper boats to a gutter-clown
Sat her down on my lap, that's hot
Got a fat butt
she twerks on TikTok
Keep my lips locked like thats the plan
Have you ever got down with the Candyman
Let me see just a show of hands
How many y'all down with the Candyman
Looking in the mirror do it just for fun
Say it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and
Let me see just a show of hands
How many y'all down with the Candyman




Looking in the mirror do it just for fun
Say it, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
