Monster
[01:02.92] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[01:06.66] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:11.16] You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
[01:15.16] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:22.92] I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
[01:24.67] Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[01:26.17] Wanted to receive attention for my music
[01:27.18] Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[01:29.66] For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
[01:31.68] Fame made me a balloon ‘cause my ego inflated
[01:34.18] When I blew, see, but it was confusing
[01:35.65] ‘Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[01:38.43] Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
[01:41.20] Ooh! Hit the lottery, ooh-wee!
[01:42.66] But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
[01:45.16] It was like winnin' a used mink
[01:46.66] Ironic ‘cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[01:48.66] I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
[01:51.41] Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[01:52.66] But I'm actually weirder than you think, ‘cause I'm
[01:55.16] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[01:58.91] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:03.66] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[02:09.16] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:12.18] Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:16.41] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:20.91] Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:26.35] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:30.83] Now, I ain't much of a poet
[02:31.58] But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[02:33.36] And don't squander it
[02:34.84] ‘Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[02:36.61] So I keep conjurin'
[02:37.60] Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[02:40.08] Yeah, ponderin' will do you wonders
[02:41.35] No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
[02:43.85] Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!
[02:45.61] I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[02:46.58] And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[02:48.84] ‘Cause I need an interventionist
[02:50.33] To intervene between me and this monster
[02:52.35] And save me from myself and all this conflict
[02:54.59] ‘Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
[02:56.59] And I can't conquer it
[02:57.83] My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
[03:00.08] Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
[03:02.09] I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[03:03.85] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[03:05.58] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:09.11] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:13.08] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:19.84] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:22.09] Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:26.60] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:30.84] Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:34.84] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:40.59] Call me crazy, but I have this vision
[03:42.11] One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[03:44.85] But until then, drums get killed and
[03:46.59] I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
[03:49.10] I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[03:51.34] Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[03:53.60] And shit to say back to the kids who played him
[03:55.58] I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
[03:57.36] But if one kid out of a hundred million
[03:59.83] Who are going through a struggle feels it
[04:01.59] And relates, that's great, it's payback, Russell Wilson
[04:03.84] Falling way back in the draft
[04:05.59] Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
[04:07.37] Make that, straw into gold chump, I will spin
[04:09.84] Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[04:11.83] Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
[04:14.09] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[04:15.83] It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[04:17.35] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[04:20.84] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:25.34] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[04:30.35] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:33.84] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[04:38.09] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:42.32] You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[04:46.84] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:51.61] Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[04:55.58] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[05:00.08] Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[05:04.11] (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
