The Monster

The Monster - Off The Record

Lyrics by：Kleinstub/Fryzel/Fenty/Mathers/Rexha/Athanasiou/Bellion

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 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

Auh 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

Goin' coo coo and kooky 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 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

Well that's nothin'

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh 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 conjurin'

Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

Yeah ponderin'll do you wonders

No wonder you're losin' 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 killin' me

And I can't conquer it

My O C D's conkin' me in the head keep knockin'

Nobody's home I'm sleeptalkin'

I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'

Don't shoot the messenger I'm just friends

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

Well that's nothin'

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

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 M C's blood gets spilled and

I'll take you back to the days that

I'd get on a Dre track

Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'

And s**t to say back to the kids who played him

I ain't here to save the f**kin' children

But if one kid out of a hundred million

Who are goin' through a struggle feels it and relates that's great

It's payback Russell Wilson fallin' 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 straightjacket

Face facts I am nuts for real but I'm okay with that

It's nothin' I'm still

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 get along with the voices inside of my head

You're tryin' to you're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath

And you think and you think I'm crazy yeah

You think I'm crazy

Well that's nothin'

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Well that's nothin'

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
