Muusika/Eminem/The Monster/lyrics

[Hook: Rihanna] 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 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 wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting 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 Hit the lottery, ooh-wee But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet It was like winning a used mink Ironic ‘cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink I'm beginning 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…

[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 coming straight at MCs, 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 fucking 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 nothing into something, 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 nothing, I'm still friends with the…
