Started off in the dark and the child I'm playing with
Started off at the bark off and I'ma stay with it
Heaven got a dark side, call it a monster
'Cause it comes out in the walls and
If you had knew half of what I did then you would've bit your heart off
And nigga I'ma get you I want it
Run up for your life go on your life
Whether it's wrong or right it's on tonight
Hook:
We gonna cash it out right, cash it out right, cash it out right, hit it
We gonna cash it out right, cash it out right, cash it out right, let's go
We gonna cash it out right, cash it out right, cash it out right, hit it
We gonna cash it out right, cash it out right, cash it out right, let's go
Hey yo cavy this 20 grand, been for niggas with bandanas
Cock a rock hammer, niggas gang bang, pull out and bang bang
Wipe it off lick it down, you ready for fame
We get to them from the club to the hood
After 2 drinks, you're up to no good
It's not a fucking game I sure hope you understood
Dead and you mad knocking on wood
[Hook:]
You walk these dogs now they got leashes on
Before your man is a rapper, the pieces on em
Got em laid up in the casket the grease is on
Eventually you slow down, the sticks is on em
The way you talking to them 'cause we both grown men
Fuck if you want one, I want 10
And if we got a problem I'ma let you know then
I'm going in, I go in
[Instrumental]
Frankenstein!
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!
So what if I use jumper cables to kick start this retard
And his brother in this music game of street smarts?
Bitch, we been doing this since '93
10 years in this so called industry
What I see is so many stars sucking dick
What we be is something that's truly flipping the script
What ya'll know is only what they provide you with
A song is a song even if you call it a hit
My face is my property, painted up or not
Wearing a mask, whatever I have or have not
We come as an extension of who I be, ain't nobody writing raps for me
And basically we put in mad work for the little that we've obtained
Ain't no plaques covering my wall with my name
But my ever growing family is spreading in mass
Enough to scare the shit out of your playa hating ass
And you still wanna call me a clone?
"We've finally done it..."
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!
People, the panic's kinda wide spread
I'm shedding skins like chameleons just to keep up my disguises
Now I'm hearing that this is the only reason that the people play me
But they really hate me when my make-up's off
You sound soft, goo
And I'ma put it in the words of the B.I., then maybe you will realize
This ain't a game, and I ain't a clone, it ain't the fame it's the microphone
And all the family I've obtained over the years who representing for the same fears
You keep hating and disrespecting
Violent J put us up on the grind and said "You gotta keep an axe in your waist at all times, and it's a whole lot of people
that's just looking to side, so don't worry about the haters, you just bring it from withinside."
So this soul, this song, this rhyme, is the soul of your very own Frankenstein
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
Frankenstein!
"If it's blown up, you'll see that it's good, and multiplied! Good, but it's.."
Frankenstein
Frankenstein!
If they're both clones, what the fuck am I?
A painted dead body soaked in clone's formaldehyde?
Known to sway your eye and straight knock out teeth
And bring the heat to your zone, leaving ya to smoke in the street
Knocking the beats, knocking the throw, knocking your door off the hinges
Fuck you bitches and all you haters laying on the floor
Fuck what you know, I play a base for a haters domes and telephone poles because I'm out cold
Colton the undying, Blaze ya dead, you know the rest
And it's a mothafucking shame to catch a bullet in your chest
For some shit you said when you was high and thugging
Light a gas in your face, and look who ain't saying nothing
You's a fake yourself, and fuck your wealth
And fucking with a Frankenstein is bad for your health
And you can put it on my casket and my fan bases
This 40, these nuts, and our painted faces
I'm not a clone, I'm a frankenstein
Created through the visions of a mastamind
This face, this soul, this rhyme is mine
But ya'll don't notice
chorus: (2x's)
now im alive, yall can call me frankenstein,
how i eat rappers up and leave the straps all behind
leave my trademark on my music so yall know that it is mine
so yall know that it is mine
verse1:
these niggaz pissed on they self when they heard about me
how i rip bars in stormy weather under a tree
rappers listened to my lyrics, they would joke and jive
now i got world telling me that i am alive
i got a big ego now so im heading for worst
so much money that my head just turned green and freaking burst
with the straps females go ahead and make you a purse
got these niggaz glued to they headphones like its a curse
other niggaz flow outdated so throw that in the dumbster
got so much electric devices yo that i am a monster
no your ears are not fooling you go ahead and just stay with us
by the way yall didnt know who it is guess what, its avias
yall niggaz went into the lab and created some new
started something yall couldnt finish i popped up just like boo
and i dont want to hear yall naggin cause a nigga is through
all these other rappers done and guess what so are you
chorus: (2x's)
now im alive, yall can call me frankenstein,
how i eat rappers up and leave the straps all behind
leave my trademark on my music so yall know that it is mine
so yall know that it is mine
verse2:
okay the first verse was hott but this second one smash
scary rappers want to play then a halloween bash
it just so easy stealing mics, im the one eyed bandit
the reason why i just stand out im from another planet
im all you rappers molded into one and yall just cant stand it
i tell record labels my idea and they just brand it
all the fans, groupies, stalkers, yo, they just demand it
all i care about is when im done cash just hand it
cause i gotta keep it real i love the color of green
failing to deliver compensation makes me so mean
make me want to rip these haters a new ass a new seam
cause i dont like oreo cookies i just want the cream
i shock these niggas on the mic like i bolts in my neck
want to collab any given day just call or just text
keep strategy on these niggaz like a game of hex
name written on the dotted line of printed checks
chorus: (2x's)
now im alive, yall can call me frankenstein,
how i eat rappers up and leave the straps all behind
leave my trademark on my music so yall know that it is mine
(i still have this shake in my voice and i'm going to sing you this song)
I don't know you from Adam
You could make my day
If you leave me a message
I'll give it away
'Cause the most perfect strangers
That you can talk to
Are the ones who pretend
That you're not really you
I want any attempts here to play Frankenstein
Come with plenty of chances for changing you mind
When you're building your own creation
Nothing's better than real
Than a real imitation
I won't find it fantastic
Or think it absurd
When the gun in the first act
Goes off in the third
'Cause it's rare that you ever know
What to expect
From a guy made of corpses
With bolts in his neck
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
Say hello to your new creation
Now it's better than real
It's a real imitation
You may wonder what the catch is
As you batten down the hatches
And when later we find
That the thing we devised
Has the villagers clamouring
For its demise
We will have to admit
The futility of
Trying to make something more
Of this jerry-built love
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
But at least its my own creation
And it's better than real
A mastermind in the old watchtower
Prying eyes must never find.
Playing God in the final hour
Insanity, such a fine line
Overwhelmed by the mourning process
And the loss of his dearly loved
The Doctor's work is now obsession
What is life? What's beyond?
He wants to know what it's like to be God
Creating life with his own hands
To reanimate lifeless tissues
The Devil's work, the doctors plan
A man of wealth and a genius mind
A slave to passion and his morbid side
Robbing graves of the nearly(replace with newly?) dead
Erratic tendencies, a troubled mind
Chorus:
I will create in my own image
If God can then why can't I?
No thought of the consequences
I've got to know the meaning of life
Lightning strikes, it's the witching hour
The monstrosity comes alive
A victim of man's vanity
Born in delirium, a deranged child
He turns his back on his own creation
Chaos ensues, the innocent die
Who's the monster?
Who's the victim?
Crucify! Crucify!
How would you like to go bobbing
For apples the shape of fish?
Throw a coin into the well
Close your eyes and make a wish?
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away
Downtown they're giving 'em
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away
Downtown they're giving 'em
Oh, hey there Mama Nature
Why do you keep on shooting us that look?
No we did not take it
And I swear we were only borrowing the book
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away
Downtown they're giving 'em
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away
Downtown they're giving 'em
So who's been planting magic beans
To catch themselves a golden hen?
We've spent so many years going over this
We can't start that all again
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away
Downtown they're giving 'em
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away
Downtown they're giving 'em
How would you like to dine
A la Frankenstein?
Downtown they're giving 'em away

all your life love's hurt you
turned you out then burnt you
held you high off the ground
you touched the moon
then it dropped you down
I know your heart's been broken
trust don't come so easily
it takes time, that's all right
just let me heal your heart tonight
I will rock you gently
I will be there when the night comes down
I will rock you so gently
I'm gonna rock you gently
I will be there when the morning comes
I will rock you, rock you
late at night they haunt you
lovers' voices point you
back in time, wide awake
you curse the moon 'til the morning breaks
I know that lonely feeling
we are two hearts still healing
hurry here, hurry now
please come to me
let me show you how
I will rock you gently
I will be there when the night comes down
I will rock you so gently
I'm gonna rock you gently
I will be there when the morning comes
I will rock you, rock you
little by little, day by day
all through the night into the day
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
open up your heart and let me in
I am falling into a chasm
I'm falling with you in my arms
No wait, these are your arms
Your arms of love that I'm falling into
Is this a vision of love?
When I was a young boy
Mama said, "You better watch out for the fall."
But now that I'm a grown woman
And I know, I know, I know
I can see the cold
I can see the cold to the place where he is born
Come on baby, let's fall, fall into the chasm
With me, fall into love
Cos I know that the vision, it will never shatter
For as long as i hold onto you in these cold arms
There's something in these eyes too close for comfort
But now that I'm a grown woman
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know the call to the place where it's born
You can see these arms are big and strong now baby
Well I'll prove to you these arms can hold you tight
It's cold, leave baby, it's cold, it's time
This is a vision of love and i'm freezing
I'm falling into cold, come on let's go

I am falling into a chasm
I am falling with you in my arms
No wait, these are your arms
Your arms of love
That I'm falling into
Is this a vision of love
When I was a young boy
Mama said, “You better watch out for the fall.”
But now that I’m a grown woman and I know
I know, I know I can see the cold
I can see the cold to the place where he is born
Come on baby, let’s fall
Fall into a chasm
With me, fall into love
And I hope that the vision will never shatter
For as long as I hold on to you
These cold arms
There’s something in these eyes too close for comfort
Now that I’m a grown woman
And I know, I know, I know
I know the call to the place where he is born
You can see these arms
They are big and strong now baby
Well I’ll prove to you these arms
Hold you tight, it's cold, leave baby
Let’s go, it’s time
This is a vision of love
And I'm freezing and I'm falling in the cold
Somethin' must have happened over Manhattan
Who can expound all the children this time?
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, a Frankenstein?
I remember when you were jam, jam, jammin'
You worked at 'em and any of them
There was never nothin' you would ever understand
But you know who was there to be your master
Making his demands and plans
As though he's making his friends
And when those plans they don't mix your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That's when he starts calling you, wow
And you just don't know what to do
So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because of back home, baby
Oh, he puts you down
Oh, baby, how he puts you down
I know they put you down
So now, you're off starting 'round here
Here you ask and your demands
In a place where they don't expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
We're asking you as a person
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong? Could it be wrong?
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend
'Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you're loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And down, down, down, just go, just down
Like Frankenstein, like a Frankenstein
So now you're tellin' me
What everytime you can get down home
Well, don't you know there's place, it is my home
So where am I gonna go?
You know when you don't expect nothin'
Know you're not alone, you know you're not alone
'Cause something must have happened over them higher
Who can expound all the children this time?
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
And all this shoes are too big
And house jacket's too small
How don't you know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein
We're asking you as a person
Is it a crime? Is it a crime?
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong
Wrong baby, don't you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein
That's what I'm gonna shout about
I'm gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about
Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein
I've gotta ask you one question
Catch your breath
Take your time
It's a goldmine
But that's my only crime
That's my only crime
I'm the south
The sugarcane
And I have found a way to celebrate
But that's my only crime
Just gimme the keys and gimme your time
So tell me
It's good to be back
A gold star turns black
Tell me
It's good to be back
A gold star turns black
I see Paris
I see France
I see you making that face again
But that's my only crime
If you wanna make waves
So take your time
The nuclear whim with the fuse of a mile
New and improved
Who is late all the time
Oh, but that's my only crime
So tell me
It's good to be back
A gold star turns black
Tell me
It's good to be back
A gold star turns black
So tell me
You're coming with us
Ten outta ten
An A plus
So tell me
It's good to be back
Turns black
Frankenstein, she's got cobwebs
bleeding in her heart for you
She told me,
"Valentine he's the sweet tooth under my pillow"
So don't be shy
Frankenstein
You are a big boy
Don't be shy Frankenstein
She is a monster so she does not cry
But she can sense
you're a pretty nice guy
So don't be shy Frankenstein
She's in love with you
Don't be shy Frankenstein

In the cold winters night, lightning flashes bright.
He builds and preparing for the fight.
Frankenstein, birthed by lightning.
Frankenstein, made by man.
Devil's construction, man's creation.
Flip the switch, here it comes.
I can here the thunder through my ear drums.
All of a sudden daylight came,
Not my fault, God's to blame.
No I wont give up he's my...
Frankenstein, birthed by lightning.
Frankenstein, made by man.
Devil's construction, man's creation.
Years of learning and applying my time
I’ve finally ready to start this experiment of mine
I’ve learned from the best and watched their attempts
They’re all lacking heart and a brain at best
Some say stress has destroyed my mind
They say I’ve gone mad with the progression of time
Some say ambition has destroyed my mind
They know I’ve found secrets which will stand in time
I’ve created life which in turn created me
I’ve never felt alive until the moment that you breathed
Watch my eyes, follow my lead
Just don’t forget to say goodbye when you leave
Born in the darkness and dwell in the night
You’re afraid of fire and what burns bright
I know you know, so try to understand
