The Monster
[Chorus - Rihanna]I'm friends with the monsterThat's under my bedGet along with the voices inside of my headYou're trying to save meStop holding your breathAnd you think I'm crazyYeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
[Eminem - Verse 1]I wanted the fame, but not the cover of NewsweekOh well, guess beggers can't be chooseyWanted to receive attention for my musicWanted to be left alone in public, excuse meFor wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both waysFame may be a balloon cause my ego inflatedWhen I blew, see, but it was confusingCause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leafAbused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steamHit the lottery (oh wee)But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweetIt was like winning a used minkIronic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrinkI'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheepGoing cucko and kooky as Kool KeithBut I'm actually weirder than you thinkCause I'm...

[Eminem - Verse 3]Call me crazy, but I had this visionOne day that I'd walk amongst you regular civiliansBut until then, drums get killed andI'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and I'llTake you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre trackGive every kid who got played thatPumped up feeling and shit to say backTo the kids who played himI ain't here to save the fucking childrenBut if one kid out of a hundred millionWho are going through a struggle feels and relates that's greatIt's payback, Russell Wilson falling way backIn the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make thatStraw in the gold chump I will spinRumpelstiltskin in a hay stackMaybe I need a straightjacket, face factsI am nuts for real, but I'm okay with thatIt's nothing, I'm still friends with a...
