**Eminem ft. Rihanna ** "The Monster (Explicit)"

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 (crazy)

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

Oh well, guess beggers 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 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 bittersweet It was like winning a huge meet

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 cookey 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 uh oh uh oh

uh oh uh oh

uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh

Well, that's nothing uh oh uh oh

uh oh uh oh

uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh

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

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 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 saying

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...

I'm friends with the monster That's under my bed
