The monster
[00:01.75] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:04.39] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[00:08.65] You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath
[00:13.21] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
[00:17.73] I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:20.65] Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[00:23.05] Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:24.90] Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[00:27.57] For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
[00:30.21] Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[00:32.09] When I blew, see, but it was confusing
[00:33.73] 'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:36.12] Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
[00:39.30] Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
[00:40.64] But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
[00:42.79] It was like winnin' a used mink
[00:44.39] Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[00:46.77] I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
[00:49.17] Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[00:50.76] But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[00:52.88] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:56.87] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:01.37] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[01:05.63] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:09.89] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:16.28] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:19.73] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:23.17] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:26.12] Now, I ain't much of a poet
[01:29.58] But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[01:30.36] And don't squander it
[01:32.24] 'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[01:34.63] So I keep conjurin'
[01:35.43] Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:37.30] Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
[01:39.16] No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
[01:40.49] Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
[01:42.09] I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[01:43.96] And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[01:46.08] 'Cause I need an interventionist
[01:48.48] To intervene between me and this monster
[01:50.07] And save me from myself and all this conflict
[01:51.93] 'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
[01:54.63] And I can't conquer it
[01:55.69] My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
[01:57.55] Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
[01:59.42] I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[02:01.53] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[02:03.13] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[02:06.32] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:10.84] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[02:15.35] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:19.60] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:23.86] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:25.98] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:29.96] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:36.07] Call me crazy, but I have this vision
[02:39.79] One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[02:42.71] But until then, drums get killed and
[02:44.85] I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
[02:45.91] I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[02:48.57] Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[02:51.51] And shit to say back to the kids who played him
[02:53.12] I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
[02:54.72] But if one kid out of a hundred million
[02:57.15] Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great
[03:00.36] It's payback, Russell Wilson
[03:01.70] Falling way back in the draft
[03:03.30] Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
[03:04.90] Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
[03:07.55] Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[03:08.88] Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
[03:11.55] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[03:13.14] It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[03:15.27] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:18.73] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:23.03] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:27.28] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:31.84] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:36.09] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:40.34] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:44.85] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:48.83] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:52.83] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:57.63] Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[04:01.88] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
