Eminem Feat. Rihanna - The Monster
[00:00.45] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:03.90] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[00:08.41] You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath
[00:12.66] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
[00:18.24] I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:20.10] Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[00:22.49] Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:24.61] Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[00:26.74] For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
[00:29.13] Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[00:31.52] When I blew, see, but it was confusing
[00:33.12] 'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:35.77] Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
[00:38.96] Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
[00:40.29] But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
[00:42.41] It was like winnin' a used mink
[00:44.01] Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[00:46.39] I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
[00:48.52] Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[00:50.38] But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[00:52.24] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:56.22] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:00.74] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[01:05.26] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:09.50] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:13.76] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:18.28] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:22.52] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:27.57] Now, I ain't much of a poet
[01:28.63] But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[01:30.75] And don't squander it
[01:31.83] 'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[01:33.94] So I keep conjurin'
[01:35.00] Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:36.87] Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
[01:38.73] No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
[01:40.85] Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
[01:42.18] I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[01:44.04] And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[01:45.89] 'Cause I need an interventionist
[01:47.49] To intervene between me and this monster
[01:49.62] And save me from myself and all this conflict
[01:51.74] 'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
[01:53.33] And I can't conquer it
[01:54.66] My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
[01:57.58] Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
[01:58.91] I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[02:01.03] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[02:03.16] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[02:06.08] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:10.60] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[02:14.85] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:19.36] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:23.61] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:28.13] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:32.38] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:37.69] Call me crazy, but I have this vision
[02:39.82] One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[02:42.21] But until then, drums get killed and
[02:44.33] I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
[02:46.45] I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[02:48.58] Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[02:50.97] And shit to say back to the kids who played him
[02:53.37] I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
[02:54.96] But if one kid out of a hundred million
[02:57.08] Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great
[02:59.48] It's payback, Russell Wilson
[03:01.33] Falling way back in the draft
[03:02.66] Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
[03:04.78] Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
[03:06.91] Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[03:09.03] Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
[03:11.16] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[03:13.29] It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[03:14.88] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:18.06] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:22.59] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:27.10] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:31.35] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:35.86] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:40.11] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:44.37] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:48.88] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:55.25] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:57.64] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[04:01.37] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
