The Monster Lyrics - The Marshall Mathers Lp 2 - Eminem

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 

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 is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf 

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (wooh!) 

Hit the lottery, oh 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 cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith 

But I'm actually weirder than you think

'Cause I'm 

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 

Well, that's not fair 

Well, that's not fair 

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.) 

Yoda-loda-le-hee-hoo 

I think it went wandering off down yonder 

And stumbled on 'ta 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's conking me in the head 

Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleeptalking 

I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying 

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the 

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 

Well, that's not fair 

Well, that's not fair 

Call me crazy but I have this vision 

One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian 

But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at 

MC's, blood get spilled and I'll 

Take you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track 

Give every kid who got played that 

Pumped up feeling 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 then 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 straightjacket, face facts 

I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that 

It's nothing, I'm still friends with the 

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 

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed. 

Get along with the voices inside 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 not fair 

Well, that's not fair
