The Monster
[01:03.08] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[01:06.90] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:11.20] You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath
[01:15.50] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
[01:21.09] I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
[01:23.10] Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[01:25.62] Wanted to receive attention for my music
[01:27.38] Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[01:29.41] For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
[01:31.42] Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[01:34.20] When I blew, see, but it was confusing
[01:36.23] 'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[01:38.75] Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
[01:42.30] Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
[01:43.06] But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
[01:45.08] It was like winnin' a used mink
[01:47.10] Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[01:49.13] I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
[01:51.89] Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[01:53.40] But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[01:55.15] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[01:59.72] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:03.26] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[02:08.08] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:12.38] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:15.16] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:20.72] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:23.29] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:30.38] Now, I ain't much of a poet
[02:31.43] But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[02:32.93] And don't squander it
[02:33.95] 'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[02:36.23] So I keep conjurin'
[02:37.74] Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[02:39.76] Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
[02:41.01] No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
[02:42.27] Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
[02:45.06] I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[02:46.33] And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[02:48.35] 'Cause I need an interventionist
[02:50.11] To intervene between me and this monster
[02:52.38] And save me from myself and all this conflict
[02:54.66] 'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
[02:56.68] And I can't conquer it
[02:57.70] My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
[02:59.47] Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
[03:01.75] I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[03:04.52] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[03:05.78] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:11.32] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:13.33] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:17.61] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:22.16] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:25.74] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:30.80] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:34.87] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:40.92] Call me crazy, but I have this vision
[03:42.20] One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[03:44.74] But until then, drums get killed and
[03:46.51] I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
[03:49.04] I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[03:51.31] Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[03:53.32] And shit to say back to the kids who played him
[03:54.84] I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
[03:56.60] But if one kid out of a hundred million
[03:59.38] Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great
[04:01.95] It's payback, Russell Wilson
[04:03.72] Falling way back in the draft
[04:05.24] Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
[04:07.50] Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
[04:09.79] Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[04:12.07] Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
[04:14.10] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[04:16.13] It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[04:17.39] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[04:21.46] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:25.26] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[04:29.83] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:34.62] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[04:38.43] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:42.73] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[04:47.56] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:51.89] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[04:55.65] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[04:59.93] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[05:04.23] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
