The Monster Lyrics

feat. Rihanna [Chorus: Rihanna] I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed Get along with the voices inside of my head You're tryin to save me, stop holdin your breath And you think I'm crazy, yeah you think I'm crazy [Eminem] I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosy Wanted to receive attention for my music Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me Been wantin my cake and eat it too, I'm wantin it both ways Fame made me a balloon, cause my ego inflated When I blew seep and it was confusing Cause all I wanted to do is be, the Bruce Lee, of loose leaf Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam OOH! Hit the lottery, ooh-wee But with what I gave up to get was bittersweet It was like winnin a huge meet Ironic cause I think I'm gettin so huge I need a shrink I'm beginnin to lose sleep - one sheep, two sheep Goin cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith But I'm actually weirder than you think Cause I'm [Chorus] [Interlude: Rihanna] Well that's not fair! Oh-ohh oh-ohh, oh-ohh oh-ohh Oh-ohh oh-ohh, ohh-ohhh-ohhh Well that's not fair! Oh-ohh oh-ohh, oh-ohh oh-ohh Oh-ohh oh-ohh, oh-ohh oh-ohh [Eminem] Now I ain't much of a poet But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment and don't squander it Cause you never know when it could all be over tomorrow so I keep conjurin Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from "Yeah ponder it, and do you wonder? It's no wonder you're losin your mind the way you're brought up" Yo-dada-ley-hee-hoo! I think you've been wanderin off down yonder and stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen! Cause I need an interventionist to intervene between me and this monster And save me from myself, and all this conflict Cause the very thing that I love's killin me and I can't conquer it My OCD's conkin me in the head Keep knockin, nobody's home, I'm sleep-walkin I'm just relayin what the voice in my head's sayin Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the [Chorus] [Interlude] [Eminem] Call me crazy but I have this vision one day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian But until then drums get killed and I'm comin straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and I take it back to the days that, I get on a Dre track Give every kid who got played that pumped the villian and shit to say back, to the kids who played 'em I ain't here to save the fuckin children But if one kid, out of a hundred million who are goin through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great! It's payback, Russell Wilson fallin way back in the draft, turn nothin into somethin Still can make that straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack Maybe I need a straitjacket, face facts I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that! It's nothin, I'm still friends with the [Chorus] - 2X [Interlude]
