The Monster Eminem Song Lyrics by Eminem
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou’re tryin’ to save me, stop holding your breathAnd you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy (crazy)
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 wantin’ my cake, and eat it too, and wantin’ it both waysFame made me a balloon ’cause my ego inflatedWhen I blew, see, but it was confusing‘Cause all I wanted to do’s be the Bruce Lee of loose leafAbused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)Hit the lottery, ooh-weeBut with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweetIt was like winnin’ a used minkIronic ’cause I think I’m gettin’ so huge I need a shrinkI’m beginnin’ to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheepGoing coo-coo and kooky as Kool KeithBut I’m actually weirder than you think, ’cause I’m
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breathAnd you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy
Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Now, I ain’t much of a poetBut I know somebody once told me to seize the momentAnd don’t squander it‘Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrowSo I keep conjurin’Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn fromYeah, ponderin’ll do you wondersNo wonder you’re losing your mind, the way it wandersYodel-odel-ay-hee-hooI think it went wanderin’ off down yonderAnd stumbled onto 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 meAnd I can’t conquer itMy OCD is conkin’ me in the head, keep knockin’Nobody’s home, I’m sleepwalkin’I’m just relayin’ what the voice in my head’s sayin’Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just friends with the
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breathAnd you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy
Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Call me crazy, but I have this visionOne day that I’ll walk amongst you a regular civilianBut until then, drums get killed andI’m comin’ straight at MC’s, blood gets spilled andI’ll take it back to the days that I’d get on a Dre trackGive every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin’And shit to say back to the kids who played himI ain’t here to save the fuckin’ childrenBut if one kid out of a hundred millionWho are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that’s greatIt’s payback, Russell WilsonFalling way back in the draftTurn nothin’ into somethin’, still canMake that, straw into gold, chump, I will spinRumpelstiltskin in a haystackMaybe I need a straight jacket, face factsI am nuts for real, but I’m okay with thatIt’s nothin’, I’m still friends with the
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breathAnd you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy
I’m friends with the monster that’s under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou’re tryin’ to save me, stop holdin’ your breathAnd you think I’m crazy, yeah, you think I’m crazy
Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)Well, that’s nothin’ (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
