bad and blue - monsters lyrics

[rap intro: cameron flowers]
choking on her screams
tears make her eyes sting
hoping something gets them open
from her dreams
she’s seeing monsters
in her nightmares and she’s never free
no peace
it’s getting hard for
her to breathe
running from these demons
with stomachs wanting to eat
she’s never free
no peace

uh! uh! uh! uh!
they coming
oh! oh! oh! oh!
they coming!

uh! uh! uh! uh!
they coming
woah! woah! woah! woah!
they coming!

[verse 1: tammara gary]
snap, crackle pop
like a fantasy fairy in neverland
forsaken thought a fictional being
a creature so fleeting
boom boom shakalaka
man bombs explode in
your faces, burning up hands
dissolving in the thin air
oompa loompas raining down
from sawdust clouds, the lights are out
snakes crawling across eyebrows

[chorus: tammara gary]
they’re smarter than you think
and some differ at the seams
books within your pillowcases
sound memories of new faces
hear me when you see me
and believe me when you hear me
look into my eyes
know the secrets hide inside
oh! oh! oh! oh!
monsters are alive, in your child’s eyes
listen and you’ll find

[rap verse: cameron flowers]
what’s a tear drop to a sea?
what’s it take for you to see?
i’m always down like i’m alone on the see-saw
asking for things to change like seasons
what’s it take for you to think of me?
everything that’s going on don’t you see?
don’t you know that i’m right here
when your eyes show no relief for my tears?
and anyone smiling is flashing teeth
they pierce into my flesh and my being
nowhere is there a way to leave
i’ll be trapped here for eternities
can’t you see?
can’t you see
you paying the cost when you don’t notice me
you paying the cost when you ignoring me
you paying the cost
can’t you see when i’m here
can’t you see when i’m here
can’t you see what you hear?
can’t you see what you hear?

[outro: billie holiday sample]
uh you know, when i first started, you know
i got started, my first job, i didn’t get the job at smalls
and smalls was the biggest thing in harlem then
and uh i had a cat in new york named charlie johnson
it was one of the biggest negro bands
in the country at that time
you didn’t hear nothing bout nobody but
fletcher henderson and charlie johnson
and i was a little kid when i went in there
i was about thirteen and i’ll never forget it
ma johnson got me to audition, and she done
went through all this trouble ya know to get me to audition
and i’m all ready to sing and this cat asks me, he says
what key you singing in?
i said i don’t know man you done screwed up my —
[incomprehensible words]
[laughter]
