With a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get youIf you point a gun at my rising sun
Though we're not the one
But in the bounds of your mind
We have done the cry, yeahBoogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you canWith a gun in your hand, I'm the boogieman
I'm gonna come and get youEvery boy and girl all around the world
Knows my niggas' words
But if he's scared of me, how can we be free? YesBoogieman, yes
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can, oh
Boogieman
You've got to help us, can you? Yes you can, oh
