Eminem, Rihanna - The Monster(2013)

[00:00.45] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:04.20] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[00:08.73] You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
[00:13.14] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[00:18.36] I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:20.59] Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[00:22.78] Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:24.80] Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
[00:27.19] Been wanting my cake, I need it too, wanting it both ways
[00:29.66] Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
[00:31.74] When I blew seep it was confusing
[00:33.59] 'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:36.29] Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
[00:39.03] Ooh, hit the lottery, oh wee
[00:40.70] With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
[00:42.76] It was like winning a huge meet
[00:44.49] Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
[00:46.67] I'm beginning to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
[00:48.89] Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith
[00:50.64] But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[00:52.80] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:56.71] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:01.09] You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
[01:05.41] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:09.92] Well, that's nothing
[01:13.11]
[01:18.60] Well, that's nothing
[01:23.20]
[01:27.83] Now I ain't much of a poet, but I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[01:31.15] And don't squander it, 'cause you never know when it could all be over
[01:33.80] Tomorrow so I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:37.52] (Yeah, ponder it, Do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way
[01:40.72] You're brought up?)
[01:42.15] I think you've been wandering off down yonder and stumbled upon Jeff VanVonderen
[01:46.02] 'Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me and this monster
[01:50.06] And save me from myself and all this conflict
[01:52.00] 'Cause the very things that I love is killing me and I can't conquer it
[01:54.89] My OCD is conking me in the head
[01:57.15] Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
[01:59.48] I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying
[02:01.59] Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[02:03.15] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[02:06.54] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:10.84] You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
[02:15.14] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:19.65] Well, that's nothing
[02:22.87]
[02:28.28] Well, that's nothing
[02:33.16]
[02:38.14] Call me crazy, but I had this vision
[02:39.92] One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians
[02:42.47] But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at
[02:44.92] MCs, blood get spilled and I take it back
[02:47.22] To the days that I get on a Dre track
[02:48.94] Give every kid who got played at
[02:50.46] Pumped the villian and shit that say back
[02:52.27] To the kids who played 'em
[02:53.99] I ain't here to save the fucking children
[02:55.38] But if one kid out of a hundred million
[02:57.22] Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that's great
[03:00.02] It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
[03:02.58] In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
[03:05.48] Straw in the gold chump I will spend Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
[03:09.10] Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
[03:11.60] I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[03:13.66] It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
[03:15.23] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:18.66] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:22.82] You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
[03:27.25] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:31.85] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:35.98] Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:40.37] You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
[03:44.76] And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:49.17] Well, that's nothing
[03:53.04]
[03:57.96] Well, that's nothing
[03:59.09]
