EMINEM FT. RIHANNA - THE MONSTER SONG LYRICS
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
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet, It was like winning a used me
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 nothing (x2 times)
No, 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 want this? It's no wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
Yo-lo-lo-lo-yee-whoo! I think you've been 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 knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking, 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 nothing (x2 times)
Call me crazy, but I had 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, MCs, blood get spilled and I
Take it back to the days that I 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 'em
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 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 straight jacket, 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 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 (x2 times)
