Eminem ft. Rihanna - The Monster (Explicit) [Official Video]
[01:01.78] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[01:08.02] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:11.52] You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath
[01:15.79] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:21.53] I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
[01:23.28] Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[01:25.52] Wanted to receive attention for my music
[01:27.78] Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[01:29.79] For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
[01:32.54] Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[01:34.53] When I blew, see, but it was confusing
[01:36.53] 'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[01:38.51] Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
[01:42.03] Ooh! Hit the lottery, ooh-wee!
[01:43.78] But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
[01:46.03] It was like winnin' a used mink
[01:47.78] Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[01:49.53] I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
[01:52.05] Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[01:53.55] But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[01:55.77] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[01:59.53] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:03.78] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[02:08.28] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:12.78] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:20.02] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:21.28] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:26.52] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:30.78] Now, I ain't much of a poet
[02:32.03] But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[02:33.27] And don't squander it
[02:34.55] 'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[02:37.78] So I keep conjurin'
[02:39.03] Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[02:40.28] Yeah, ponderin' will do you wonders
[02:41.29] No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
[02:44.27] Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!
[02:45.53] I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[02:46.78] And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[02:48.53] 'Cause I need an interventionist
[02:49.79] To intervene between me and this monster
[02:52.55] And save me from myself and all this conflict
[02:53.79] 'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
[02:57.03] And I can't conquer it
[02:58.53] My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
[03:01.03] Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
[03:03.02] I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[03:04.27] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[03:05.53] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:09.28] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:13.79] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:18.03] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:22.28] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:26.77] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:31.03] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:35.28] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:41.28] Call me crazy, but I have this vision
[03:42.78] One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[03:45.28] But until then, drums get killed and
[03:47.53] I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
[03:49.53] I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[03:51.77] Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[03:54.28] And shit to say back to the kids who played him
[03:56.53] I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
[03:58.03] But if one kid out of a hundred million
[03:59.27] Who are going through a struggle feels it
[04:02.03] And relates, that's great, it's payback, Russell Wilson
[04:04.78] Falling way back in the draft
[04:06.02] Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
[04:08.03] Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
[04:09.77] Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[04:12.52] Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
[04:14.53] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[04:15.52] It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[04:18.28] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[04:21.09] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:25.60] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[04:30.09] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:34.83] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[04:38.84] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:43.35] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[04:47.59] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:51.85] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[04:56.34] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[05:00.59] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
