Chords and lyrics for The Monster ft. Rihanna (Audio) by Eminem

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

VERSE

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

Been 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 abused ink

used it as a tool when I blew steam

Ooh, Hit the lottery ooh-wee

But with what I gave up to get was bittersweet

it was bittersweet

And it's 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 kooky as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

CHORUS

'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

Well, that's nothing

VERSE

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, ponderin' will do you wonders)

(No wonder, so wonder if you're losing your mind.

the way

I think it went wanderin' 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 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 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 nothing

Well that's not fair

VERSE

Call me crazy but I had 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 take it back to the days that I 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 '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 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 spin.

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

Get along with)

Get along with the voices inside of my head

(You're tryin' to) you're trying to save me, stop holding your breath

(And you think

And you think

I'm crazy, yeah, you think

I'm crazy Well, that's

nothing

Well that's nothing
