[00:33.270]I'm friends with the monster
[00:34.960]That's under my bed
[00:37.520]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[00:41.830]You're trying to save me
[00:43.750]Stop holding your breath
[00:46.120]And you think I'm crazy
[00:48.270]Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
[00:51.440]I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:53.380]Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey
[00:55.600]Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:57.710]Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
[01:00.300]Been wanting my cake, I need it too
[01:01.850]Wanting it both ways
[01:02.720]Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated
[01:04.660]When I blew seep it was confusing
[01:06.550]Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[01:09.310]Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
[01:12.260]Hit the lottery (oh wee)
[01:13.700]With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
[01:15.690]It was like winning a huge meet
[01:17.120]Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
[01:19.740]I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
[01:21.990]Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith
[01:23.700]But I'm actually weirder than you think
[01:25.390]Cause I'm...
[01:25.960]I'm friends with the monster
[01:27.570]That's under my bed
[01:29.650]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:34.850]You're trying to save me
[01:37.270]Stop holding your breath
[01:39.520]And you think I'm crazy
[01:41.700]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:43.990]Well, that's not fair
[01:52.930]Well, that's not fair
[02:02.000]Now I ain't much of a poet
[02:03.250]But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[02:05.050]And don't squander it
[02:06.170]Cause you never know when it all could be over
[02:08.130]Tomorrow so I keep conjuring
[02:09.390]Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[02:11.690](Yeah, ponder it, do you wonder there's no wonder
[02:13.440]you're losing your mind the way you're brought up?)
[02:17.020]I think you've been wandering off down yonder
[02:18.870]and stumbled on Jeff VanVonderen
[02:20.950]Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene
[02:23.120]between me and this monster
[02:24.610]And save me from myself and all this conflict
[02:26.610]Cause the very things that
[02:27.760]I love is killing me and I can't conquer it
[02:29.690]My OCD is clonking me in the head
[02:31.820]Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
[02:33.330]I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying
[02:35.770]Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...
[02:37.340]I'm friends with the monster
[02:38.550]That's under my bed
[02:40.670]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:45.070]You're trying to save me
[02:47.310]Stop holding your breath
[02:49.450]And you think I'm crazy
[02:51.820]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:54.040]Well, that's not fair
[03:02.980]Well, that's not fair
[03:13.420]Call me crazy, but I had this vision
[03:14.980]One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians
[03:17.010]But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at
[03:19.750]Emcees, blood get spilled and I
[03:21.630]Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
[03:23.840]Give every kid who got played gat
[03:25.830]Pumped the villian and sh*t that say back
[03:27.330]To the kids who played 'em
[03:28.450]I ain't here to save the f*cking children
[03:29.820]But if one kid out of a hundred million
[03:31.980]Who are going through a struggle feels and relates that's great
[03:34.530]It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
[03:37.370]In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
[03:40.540]Straw in the gold chump I will spend
[03:42.290]Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
[03:44.460]Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
[03:46.270]I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[03:48.400]It's nothing, I'm still friends with a...
[03:49.970]I'm friends with the monster
[03:51.150]That's under my bed
[03:53.330]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:57.980]You're trying to save me
[03:59.860]Stop holding your breath
[04:02.000]And you think I'm crazy
[04:04.180]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:06.770]I'm friends with the monster
[04:08.640]That's under my bed
[04:11.160]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:15.480]You're trying to save me
[04:17.410]Stop holding your breath
[04:19.670]And you think I'm crazy
[04:21.820]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:23.970]Well, that's not fair
[04:33.100]Well, that's not fair
