Kanye West – Monster

  Lyric Correction:Two lines sound wrong (to me anyways)
  
  "nah gonna do, uh it's a new now"
  Could be:
  "Now I'm gonna do, ahh, somethin' new now"
  
  And
  "goddamn yeezy how I hit em with a new style"
  To me sounds more like
  "goddamn yeezy are we hittin em with a new style?"
  
  Just my opinion, listen to the song I think they sound right

    Just two lines wrong? LOL The idiot can't sing/rap/whatever his auto-tuned pop arse claims to do. He's an over-produced, ignorant, off-key piece of musical crap. Only a few of his songs are any good, and what he's putting out now is commercialized pop. Nobody should ever give him a mike 'cause he can't shut his fat, racist mouth. I'd say he must have slept w/ someone to get where he is professionally, but he's so dorky looking and stupid-sounding that it makes that likelihood non-existant.

  My Interpretation:i interpret the song as a boast of immorality and being feared, almost saying "yea I'm bad, so what?"
  
  "Now she claiming I bruised her esophagus
  Head of the class and she just want a swallow-ship
  I'm living the future so the presence is my past
  My presence is a present, kiss my ass"
  
  he's injuring her and his response is kiss my ass.
  
  And yet there seems to be a theme of insecurity in "Monster". "Imma need to see your fucking hands at the concert" Kanye speaking about his hunger for approval and fame. and Jay-Z "Everybody wanna know what my Achilles heel is: Love I don't get enough of it"

    That's an excellent point. The theme of insecurity is something that I feel that the album continually re-visits, and it's great to hear Kanye do some soul-searching.

  Lyric Correction:SHOULD BE:
  
  "Tony Matterhorn dutty wine it, wine it"
  
  "Nicki on them titties when I sign it, sign it." - She ALWAYS talks about signing boobs/titties, so this should be relevant.
  
  "Me, you and Am should menage friday" .... apparently she's talking about a girl named Amber Rose, NOT Eminem!

  General Comment:I think it's interesting that Monster follows All of the Lights. In which All of the Lights tells you to turn up the lights so that everything can be seen, but Monster starts off explaining "I shoot the lights out."

  Lyric Correction:This is my take, giving much credit to the original poster for their work - this is basically just my "correction" of that. And I too think it's "Am" that Nicki talks about (the "menage" line), but it could also be "Em" - as in Eminem... thoughts?
  
  Anyway:
  
  [Bon Iver]
  I shoot the lights out
  Hide 'til its bright out
  Whoa, just another lonely night
  Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
  
  [Rick Ross]
  Bitch I'm a monster, no good blood sucker
  Fat motherfucking, 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
  
  [Kanye]
  Gossip gossip
  Nigga just stop it
  Everybody know (I'm a motherfucking monster)
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  Profit, profit, nigga I got it
  Everybody know I'm a motherfucking monster
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands
  
  Aw, the best living or dead hands down, huh?
  Less talk, more head right now, huh?
  And my eyes more red than the devil is
  And I'm 'bout to take it to another level, bitch
  And'a who you go and get? Ain't nobody cold as this
  Do the rap and the track tripled double no assists
  And my only focus is staying on some bogus shit
  Argue with my older bitch actin' like I owe her shit
  I heard the people sayin' raps are gettin' trap mayne
  Bought the chain that always give me back pain
  Fuckin' up my money so, yeah I had to act sane
  Chi nigga but these ho's love my accent
  She came up to me and said this the number two gal
  If you wanna make it number one you're number two now
  This that Goose and Malibu I call it Mali-booyah
  Goddamn Yeezy how I hit em with the new style
  Know that muthafucker well, what you gon' do now?
  Whatever I wanna do, gosh! It's cool now
  Nah gonna do, its a new now
  Think your motherfucker really really need to cool out
  'Cause you will never get on top of this
  So mommy best advice is to get on top of this
  Have you ever had sex with a Pharaoh?
  Ah, I put the pussy in a sarcophagus
  Now she claiming 'at I bruised her oesophagus
  Head of the class and she just want a swallow-ship
  I'm living the future so the presence is my past
  My presence is a present, kiss my ass
  
  Gossip gossip
  Nigga just stop it
  Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  Profit, profit, nigga I got it
  Everybody know I'm a motherfucking monster
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  Imma need to see your fucking hands
  
  [Jay-Z]
  Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong
  Loch Ness, Goblin, Ghoul, a zombie with no conscience
  Question: What 'o all these things have in common?
  Everybody knows I'm a motherfucking monster
  Conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense
  None of you niggas know where the swamp is
  None of you niggas 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 murder da avenues, I
  Rape and pillage a 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 niggas I made millionaires
  Millin' about, spillin' they feelings in the air
  All I see is these fake fucks with no fangs
  Tryna draw blood with my ice cold veins
  (sniffs) I smell a massacre
  Seems to be the only way to back you bastards up
  
  
  Gossip gossip
  Nigga just stop it
  Everybody know I'm a motherfucking monster
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  Profit, profit, nigga I got it
  Everybody know I'm a motherfucking monster
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the concert
  I'mma need to see your fucking hands at the
  
  [Nicki Minaj]
  Pull up in the monster
  Automobile gangster
  With a bad bitch that came from Sri Lanka
  Yeah I'm in the Tonka, color a Willy Wonka
  You could be the King but watch the Queen conquer
  Okay, first things first I'll eat your brains
  Then I'mma start rockin gold teeth and fangs
  'Cause that's what a motherfucking monster do
  Hairdresser from Milan, that's the monster 'do
  Monster Giuseppe heel that's the monster shoe
  Young Money is the roster and the 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 cuz 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 Barbie's gotta climb it
  Hotter than a Middle Eastern climate
  Find it Tony Matterhorn - Dutty Wine it
  Whine it, Nicki on a pic? is when I sign it
  How these niggas so one-track minded?
  But really, really I don't give a F-U-C-K
  Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki, she-she's fake
  She's on a diet but my pockets eating cheesecake
  And I'll say boy the 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 menage Friday
  Pink wig, thick ass, 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
  Aaahhhh, I'm a motherfucking monster!
  
  [Bon Iver]
  I crossed the line
  And I'll let God decide
  I wouldn't last these shows
  So I am headed home

    sorry, but she's definitely saying "Bride of Chucky is Child's Play"
    
    it's a reference to the film Bride of Chucky and the first Chucky movie, titled Child's Play

  Love that. As if it's necessary to feed an ego up on stage.
  
  Brilliant song.
