[00:00.00]The Monster (Explicit) - Hella
[00:00.23]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:04.56]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[00:08.90]You're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath
[00:13.26]And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy
[00:18.76]I wanted the fame but not the cover of newsweek
[00:20.51]Oh well guess beggars can't be choosey
[00:22.89]Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:24.92]Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me
[00:27.18]For wantin' my cake and eat it too
[00:28.49]And wantin' it both ways
[00:29.58]Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[00:31.69]When I blew see but it was confusing
[00:33.49]'Cause all I wanted to do's
[00:34.59]Be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:36.39]Abused ink used it as a tool when I blew steam
[00:39.21]Whoo hit the lottery ooh wee
[00:40.53]But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
[00:42.54]It was like winnin' a used mink
[00:44.45]Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[00:46.44]I'm beginnin' to lose sleep one sheep two sheep
[00:49.00]Goin' coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[00:50.63]But I'm actually weirder than you think 'cause I'm
[00:52.52]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:56.81]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:01.18]You're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath
[01:05.59]And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy
[01:10.12]Well that's nothin'
[01:12.28]Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[01:14.46]Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[01:18.80]Well that's nothin'
[01:20.75]Ooh ooh ooh ooh
[01:22.94]Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[01:27.92]Now I ain't much of a poet
[01:28.84]But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[01:30.93]And don't squander it 'cause you never know when it all
[01:33.15]Could be over tomorrow so I keep conjurin'
[01:35.23]Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:37.37]Yeah ponderin'll do you wonders
[01:39.10]No wonder you're losin' your mind the way it wanders
[01:41.13]Hee hoo
[01:41.82]Hee hoo
[01:42.46]I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[01:44.51]And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[01:46.47]'Cause I need an interventionist
[01:47.91]To intervene between me and this monster
[01:50.04]And save me from myself and all this conflict
[01:52.16]'Cause the very thing that
[01:53.05]I love's killin' me and I can't conquer it
[01:55.10]My OCD's conkin' me in the head keep knockin'
[01:57.71]Nobody's home I'm sleepwalkin'
[01:59.41]I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[02:01.38]Don't shoot the messenger
[02:02.26]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[02:06.62]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:10.95]You're tryin' to save me stop holdin' your breath
[02:15.30]And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy
[02:19.88]Well that's nothin'

[02:32.72]Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[02:38.43]Call me crazy but I have this vision one day that
[02:40.66]I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[02:42.51]But until then drums get killed and
[02:44.14]I'm comin' straight at MC's blood gets spilled and
[02:46.40]I'll take you back to
[02:47.14]The days when I'd get on a Dre track
[02:48.93]Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[02:51.21]And s**t to say back to the kids who played him
[02:53.60]I ain't here to save the f**kin' children
[02:55.03]But if one kid out of a hundred million
[02:57.30]Who are goin' through a struggle
[02:58.49]Feels it and relates that's great
[03:00.28]It's payback Russell Wilson fallin' way back
[03:02.50]In the draft turn nothin' into somethin' still can make that
[03:05.52]Straw into gold chump I will spin
[03:07.49]Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[03:09.68]Maybe I need a straightjacket
[03:10.88]Face facts I am nuts for real but I'm okay with that
[03:13.80]It's nothin' I'm still
