Writer(s): Bebe Rexha, Marshall Mathers, Robyn Fenty, Aaron Kleinstub, Jon Bellion, Maki Athanasiou

I'm friends with a 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

and you think I'm crazy I wanted the fame

but not cover of news week

oh well guess beggers can't be choosey wanted to recieve attention for my music

wanted to be left alone 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 seep and 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 bitter sweet was like winning a huge meet ironic cause

I think I'm getting huge I need a shrink

I'm beginning to loose sleep one sheep two sheep going cuckoo and cookey as kool keith

but I'm actually weirder than you think

I'm friends with a monster that's under my bed

get along with the voices inside of my head

you're trying to same me stop holding your breath and you think

I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy well that's not fair

Uh oh uh ah

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh ah well that's not fair

Uh oh uh ah

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh

uh ah

Now I aint 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 and sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from yeah

ponder it do you want this there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way

you're wandering yodalayheehoo I think you've been wandering off down yonder

and stumbled onto jeff van vonderen

cause I needed 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 is killing me

and I can't conquer it my o c d is conking me in the head keep knocking nobody's home

I'm sleep walking I'm just relaying what the voice in my head

saying don't shoot the messenger

I'm just 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

Uh oh uh ah

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh ah

well that's not fair

Uh oh uh ah

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh ah

call me crazy but I has 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 take it back to the day that I get on a dre track give every kid

who got played at pumped the feeling and say back to the kids

who played em I ain't here to save the children

but if one kid out of hundred million who are going through a struggle feels

and it relates that's great it's payback russell wilson falling way back in the draft turn nothing into something

and still can make that straw in the gold chump

I will spend Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack maybe

I need a straight jacket face facts

I am nuts for real but I'm okay with

that 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 a monster that's under my bed get along with the voices

inside of my head you 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

Uh oh uh ah

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh ah well that's not fair

Uh oh uh ah

Uh oh uh oh

Uh oh uh ah
