[Chorus - 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 holding your breath
|
And you think I'm crazy
|
Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
|
|
[Eminem - Verse 1]
|
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 big 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...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Eminem - Verse 2]
|
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 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 upon 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...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Eminem - Verse 3]
|
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...
|
|
[Bridge]
|
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 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
