[Verse 1: Blackbear]
Take, take off your coat
Bring your body in, from the cold
And I'll be the smoke
Hold it in
Exhale
The afterglow
Leave your love in the cold
Show me your geography

[Hook: Blackbear]
I'll be the ignition
Give me your permission
You you could be my
Marilyn Monroe
I'll be the ignition
Give me your permission
You you could be my
Marilyn Monroe
Leave your love inside the cold
Take off all your clothes
Show me your geography
You you you could be my
Marilyn Marilyn (turn me up)
Marilyn Monroe (Is Mills)
You could be my (yeah)
Marilyn Marilyn (million)
Monroe (oh, yeah)
Miss Monroe

[Verse 2: T. Mills]
She’s all over my wall
Yeah, she’s my pin up
Never knew she came from nothing
She keep her chin up
Misguided, misled
Text message got misread
I can’t help when she bat them eyelashes
And her lipstick suicide wrist red
For real?
Damn girl chill
Never hung out when she not on the pill
Leave all your feelings at the front door
So, what’s the deal?
And you saying that you love me
Wish she could believe you
Tell me why did all those other dudes up and leave you?
There’s an underlying problem here
But I can’t focus because your lying there
Nothing but your underwear
Black lace, black lace
And your make up on my pillow case
What the fuck?
You want us to quick fuck
Then we can do it here on the stairway
Oh, I thought that’s how you roll
You could be my Marilyn
Marilyn Monroe
So

[Pre-Hook: Blackbear]
Leave your love in the cold
Show me your geography

[Hook: Blackbear]
I’ll be the ignition
Give me your permission
You could be my Marilyn Monroe
I’ll be the ignition
Give me your permission
You could be my Marilyn Monroe
Leave your love inside the cold
Take off all your clothes
Show me your geography
You could be my Marilyn, Marilyn
Marilyn Monroe
You could be my Marilyn, Marilyn
Monroe
Miss Monroe
Leave your love in the cold
Show me your geography
I’ll be the ignition
Give me your permission
You could be my Marilyn Monroe
Leave your love in the cold
Show me your geography
I’ll be the ignition
Give me your permission
You could be my Marilyn Monroe
Leave your love inside the cold
Take off all your clothes
Show me your geography

​blackbear

blackbear is the stage name of LA-based producer and singer-songwriter Mat Musto, popularly known for co-writing Justin Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” in 2012. Some of his first collaborations were with the likes of Pharrell Williams, MGK, and Childish Gambino. Later, Musto reinvented himself—he coined the name blackbear from a previous EP titled Year of the Blackbear. Under his new name, he started leaning more towards rapping and an R&B-oriented style.

His first mixtape Sex included collaborations with his peers James Blake, Maejor Ali, and “Boyfriend” co-writer Mike Posner. The Afterglow followed in 2014.

In 2015, blackbear released “idfc,” as the lead single from his debut album Deadroses. It increased his fan following and revenue, earning him millions of playback streams and a spot on Billboard’s Uncharted List of Undiscovered and Upcoming Artists. The second single, “90210,” included a feature from G-Eazy—blackbear made an appearance in his 2014 track, “Remember You.”
