[Chorus: Rihanna]
I'm friends with the monster that's under
my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your
breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm
crazy
[Verse 1: Eminem]
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
For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin'
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's be the Bruce
Lee of loose leaf
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 it was bittersweet
It was like winnin' a used mink
Ironic ‘cause I think I'm gettin' so huge
I need a shrink
I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep, two
sheep
Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think, ‘cause
I'm—
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I'm friends with the monster that's under
my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your
breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm
crazy
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2: Eminem]
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 conjurin'
Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn
from
Yeah, ponderin' will do you wonders
No wonder you're losing your mind, the way
it wanders
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!
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's killing
me
And I can't conquer it
My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's
sayin'
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends
with the—
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I'm friends with the monster that's under
my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your
breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm
crazy
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 3: Eminem]
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular
civilian
But until then, drums get killed and
I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled
and
I'll take it back to the days that I'd 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
him
I ain't here to save the fuckin' children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels it
And relates, that's great, it's payback, Russell
Wilson
Falling way back in the draft
Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
Make that, straw into gold chump, I will spin
Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothin', I'm still friends with the—
[Chorus: Rihanna]
I'm friends with the monster that's under
my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' 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 the voices inside of my head
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your
breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm
crazy
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Well, that's nothin' (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
