0:00I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
0:04Get along with the voices inside of my head
0:09You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
0:13And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
0:18I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
0:20Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
0:22Wanted to receive attention for my music
0:25Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
0:27Been wanting my cake, I need it too, wanting it both ways
0:29Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
0:32When I blew seep it was confusing
0:33'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
0:36Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
0:39Ooh, hit the lottery, oh wee
0:41With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
0:42It was like winning a huge meet
0:44Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
0:46I'm beginning to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
0:49Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith
0:50But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
0:53I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
0:56Get along with the voices inside of my head
1:01You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
1:05And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
1:28Now I ain't much of a poet, but I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
1:31And don't squander it, 'cause you never know when it could all be over
1:33Tomorrow so I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
1:37(Yeah, ponder it, Do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way
1:42I think you've been wandering off down yonder and stumbled upon Jeff VanVonderen
1:46'Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me and this monster
1:50And save me from myself and all this conflict
1:52'Cause the very things that I love is killing me and I can't conquer it
1:54My OCD is conking me in the head
1:57Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
1:59I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying
2:01Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
2:03I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
2:06Get along with the voices inside of my head
2:10You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
2:15And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
2:38Call me crazy, but I had this vision
2:40One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians
2:42But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at
2:45MCs, blood get spilled and I take it back
2:47To the days that I get on a Dre track
2:49Give every kid who got played at
2:50Pumped the villian and shit that say back
2:52To the kids who played 'em
2:53I ain't here to save the fucking children
2:55But if one kid out of a hundred million
2:57Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that's great
3:00It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
3:02In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
3:05Straw in the gold chump I will spend Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
3:09Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
3:11I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
3:13It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
3:15I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
3:18Get along with the voices inside of my head
3:23You trying to save me, stop holding your breath
3:27And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
3:31I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
3:35Get along with the voices inside of my head
