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
and 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
it was like winning a huge meet ironic
cause I think I'm getting so 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
cause 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
yeah you think I'm crazy
well that's not fair
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
well that's not fair
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
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 all could 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 I'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
oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
well that's not fair
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
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 days
that I get on a Dre track give every kid
who got played that pumped the 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 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 still 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
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
oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
well that's not fair
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
