Eminem - The Monster (Explicit) ft. Rihanna

[01:02.95] I'm friends with the monster

[01:04.95] That's under my bed

[01:07.05] Get along with the voices inside of my head

[01:11.35] You're trying to save me

[01:13.55] Stop holding your breath

[01:15.65] And you think I'm crazy

[01:18.15] Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)

[01:21.15] I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

[01:23.05] Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey

[01:25.15] Wanted to receive attention for my music

[01:27.35] Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me

[01:29.55] Been wanting my cake, I need it too

[01:31.25] Wanting it both ways

[01:32.15] Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated

[01:34.45] When I blew seep it was confusing

[01:35.75] Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

[01:38.75] ****** ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

[01:41.95] Hit the lottery (oh wee)

[01:42.75] With what I gave up to get was bittersweet

[01:45.15] It was like winning a huge meet

[01:46.85] Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

[01:49.15] I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

[01:51.55] Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith

[01:52.85] But I'm actually weirder than you think

[01:54.85] Cause I'm...

[01:55.15] I'm friends with the monster

[01:57.25] That's under my bed

[01:59.35] Get along with the voices inside of my head

[02:03.75] You're trying to save me

[02:05.95] Stop holding your breath

[02:08.05] And you think I'm crazy

[02:10.75] Yeah, you think I'm crazy

[02:12.45] Well, that's nothing

[02:21.15] Well, that's nothing

[02:30.55] Now I ain't much of a poet

[02:31.75] But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment

[02:33.55] And don't squander it

[02:34.35] Cause you never know when it all could be over

[02:36.45] Tomorrow so I keep conjuring

[02:37.75] Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts s**** from

[02:39.65] (Yeah, ponder it, do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way you're brought up?)

[02:44.65] I think you've been wandering off down yonder and stumbled on Jeff VanVonderen

[02:48.55] Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me and this monster

[02:52.65] And save me from myself and all this conflict

[02:54.65] Cause the very things that I love is ******* me and I can't conquer it

[02:57.35] My OCD is clonking me in the head

[02:59.65] Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking

[03:01.85] I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying

[03:03.95] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...

[03:05.55] I'm friends with the monster

[03:06.95] That's under my bed

[03:09.15] Get along with the voices inside of my head

[03:13.65] You're trying to save me

[03:15.85] Stop holding your breath

[03:17.95] And you think I'm crazy

[03:20.35] Yeah, you think I'm crazy

[03:22.35] Well, that's nothing

[03:30.95] Well, that's nothing

[03:41.05] Call me crazy, but I had this vision

[03:42.55] One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians

[03:45.25] But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at

[03:47.55] Emcees, blood get spilled and I

[03:49.75] Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track

[03:51.35] Give every kid who got played gat

[03:52.55] Pumped the villian and sh*t that say back

[03:55.05] To the kids who played 'em

[03:56.25] I ain't here to save the ******* children

[03:57.65] But if one kid out of a hundred million

[03:59.85] Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that's great

[04:02.85] It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back

[04:04.95] In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that

[04:08.25] Straw in the gold chump I will spend

[04:09.95] Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack

[04:12.15] Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts

[04:14.35] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that

[04:16.55] It's nothing, I'm still friends with a...

[04:17.55] I'm friends with the monster

[04:18.95] That's under my bed

[04:21.15] Get along with the voices inside of my head

[04:25.45] You're trying to save me

[04:27.65] Stop holding your breath

[04:29.85] And you think I'm crazy

[04:32.35] Yeah, you think I'm crazy

[04:34.45] I'm friends with the monster

[04:36.65] That's under my bed

[04:38.65] Get along with the voices inside of my head

[04:42.95] You're trying to save me

[04:45.25] Stop holding your breath

[04:47.45] And you think I'm crazy

[04:49.55] Yeah, you think I'm crazy

[04:51.75] Well, that's nothing

[05:00.55] Well, that's nothing
