12.The Monster
(Chorus Rihanna)
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
(Eminem Verse 1)
I wanted the fame but now the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosy
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone, the public excuse me
Been wanting my cake, I need it too, wanting it both ways
Fame may be a baloon 'cause my ego inflated
When I blew seep it was confusing
'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
Hit the lottery, ooh wee
With what I gave up to get was bitter sweet
It was just like winning a huge meet
Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting something huge, I need a
shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep
One sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cuckier as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think
'Cause I'm
(Chorus)
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair
(Eminem Verse 2)
No, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
Told me to seize the moment and don't squander it
'Cause you never know when it all could be over
The monster I keep conjuring
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
Yeah, ponder it
Do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way
you're brought up？
Yodel eh hi hoo
I think you've been wandering off down yonder
And stumbled onto Jeff van Aldren
'Cause I need an interventionist
To intervene between me and this monster
Save me from myself and all this conflict
'Cause the very thing that I love is killing me and I can't
conquer it
My OCD's talkin me in the head
Keep knockin, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin
I'm just relatin what the voice in my head say
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
(Chorus)
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair
(Eminem Verse 3)
Call me crazy but I had this vision
One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians
But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
emcees
Blood gets spilled and I take it back to base that I get on the
train track
Heave every kid who got blamed at
I'm the villain, you should've stayed back
To the kids who are playin
I ain't here to save the fuckin children
But if one kid out of 100 million
Who are going through a struggle
Feels and then relates that's great
This Maybach bust the wheels and fallin way back
And a drive turn nothing into something
Still can make that straw, in the cold stop my wheels spin
Rumpelstiltskin in the haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, thinks that I am nuts for real
but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
(Chorus x2)
I'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's not fair
Well, that's not fair
