Enimem - Monster Lyrics
[Hook - Rihanna:]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou're trying to save me, stop holding your breathAnd you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy[Verse 1 - Eminem:]I wanted the fame, but not the cover of NewsweekOh, well, guess beggars can't be chooseyWanted to receive attention for my musicWanted to be left alone in public. Excuse meFor wanting my cake and eat it too, and wanting it both waysFame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflatedWhen I blew; see, but it was confusing'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leafAbused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (wooh! )Hit the lottery, oh weeBut with what I gave up to get it was bittersweetIt was like winning a used minkIronic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrinkI'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheepGoing cuckoo and cooky as Kool KeithBut I'm actually weirder than you think'Cause I'm[Hook - Rihanna:]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou're trying to save me, stop holding your breathAnd you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazyWell, that's nothingWell, that's nothing[Verse 2 - Eminem:]Now, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told meTo seize the moment and don't squander it'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrowSo I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from(Yeah, pondering'll do you wonders.No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders.)Yoda-loda-le-hee-hooI think it went wandering off down yonderAnd stumbled on 'ta Jeff VanVonderen'Cause I need an interventionistTo intervene between me and this monsterAnd save me from myself and all this conflict'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer itMy OCD's conking me in the headKeep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkingI'm just relaying what the voice in my head's sayingDon't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the[ Rihanna:]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou're trying to save me, stop holding your breathAnd you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazyWell, that's nothingWell, that's nothing[Verse 3 - Eminem:]Call me crazy but I have this visionOne day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilianBut until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight atMC's, blood get spilled and I'llTake you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre trackGive every kid who got played thatPumped up feeling and shit to say backTo the kids who played himI ain't here to save the *****ing childrenBut if one kid out of a hundred millionWho are going through a struggle feels it and then relates that's greatIt's payback, Russell Wilson falling way backIn the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make thatStraw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystackMaybe I need a straightjacket, face factsI am nuts for real, but I'm okay with thatIt's nothing, I'm still friends with the[Hook - Rihanna:]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou're trying to save me, stop holding your breathAnd you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy[2x]Well, that's nothingWell, that's nothing
