"The Monster" Lyrics

Eminem ft Rihanna

 

• [Hook: Rihanna]
• I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
• Get along with the voices inside of my head
• You're trying to save me, stop holdin' your breath
• And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
• [Verse 1: Eminem]
• I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
• Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
• Wanted to receive attention for my music
• Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
• For wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
• Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated when I blew, see
• But it was confusing, cause all I wanted to do's be
• The Bruce Lee of loose leaf
• Abused ink, used it as a tool when blew steam
• Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
• But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
• It was like winning a used mink
• Ironic cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
• I'm beginning to lose sleep
• One sheep, two sheep
• Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
• But I'm actually weirder than you think
• Cause I'm...
• [Hook]
• [Bridge: Rihanna]
• Well, that's nothing
• [Verse 2: 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 all could be over tomorrow, so 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)
• Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!
• I think it went wandering 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 killing me and I can't conquer it
• My OCD is conking me in the head, keep knockin'
• Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
• I'm just relaying what the voice in my head is saying
• Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...
• [Hook + Bridge]
• [Verse 3: 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
• Coming straight at MCs, blood gets spilled and I'll
• Take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
• Give every kid who got played that, pumped up feelin'
• And shit to say back to the kids who played him
• I ain't here to save the fucking children
• But if one kid out of a hundred million
• Who are going through a struggle feels it and
• Relates, that's great, it's payback, Russell Wilson
• Falling way back in the draft, turn nothing into something, still can
• Make that, straw into gold chump, I will spin
• Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
• Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
• I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
• It's nothing, I'm still friends with the...
• [Hook + Bridge]
