Eminem - The Monster Lyrics Ft. Rihanna (explicit)
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 holding 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 choosey,
Wanted to receive,
Attention for my music,
Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me,
Been wanting my cake, i need it too
Wanting it both ways,
Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated,
When i blew seep 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
Hit the lottery (oh wee),
With what i gave up to get was bittersweet
It was like winning a huge meet
Ironic 'cause i think,
I'm getting so huge i need a shrink
I'm beginning to lose sleep:
One sheep, two sheep
Going cucko and cuckier as kool keith
But i'm actually weirder than you think
Cause i'm...!

Get along with,
The voices inside of my head,
You're trying to save me,
Stop holding your breath,
And you think i'm crazy,
Yeah, you think i'm crazy,
Well, that's nothing, well, that's nothing..!
[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, ponder it,
Do you wonder there's no wonder,
You're losing your mind the way you're brought up?)
I think you've been wandering off down,
Yonder and stumbled on jeff vanvonderen
Cause i needed an intervention in,
This to intervene between me and this monster
And save me from myself and all this conflict
Cause the very things that,
I love is killing me and i can't conquer it,
My ocd is clonking me in the head,
Keep knocking, nobody's home,
I'm sleepwalking, i'm just relaying,
What the voice of my head saying
Don't shoot the messenger,
I'm just friends with the...

[eminem]
Call me crazy, but i had this vision
One day that i'd walk amongst you regular civilians
But until then drums get killed i'm coming straight at
Emcees, blood get spilled and i,
Take it back to the days that i get on a dre track
Give every kid who got played gat
Pumped the villian and sh*t that say back
To the kids who played 'em
I ain't here to save the f*cking children,
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle,
Feels 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 in the gold chump i will spend,
Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack,
Maybe i need a straightjacket, face facts,
I am nuts for real, but i'm okay with that,
It's nothing, i'm still friends with a...!
