The Monster - Shaun Reynolds/Lily Me

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 it

Be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

Abused I used it as a tool when I blew steam

Ooh 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

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 holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy

Well that's nothing

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh 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 conjuring

Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

Yeah pondering will do you wonders

No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders

Yodel odel ay hee hoo

I think it went wandering 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 killing me

And I can't conquer it

My OCD is conking me in the head keep knocking

Nobody's home I'm sleepwalking

I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying

Don't shoot the messenger I'm just friends with the

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 holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy

Well that's nothing

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh

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 MC's 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 feeling

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

I ain't here to save the f**king 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 still

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 holding 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 the voices inside of my head

You're trying to save me stop holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy yeah you think I'm crazy

Well that's nothing

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh wooh

Uh oh woooh uh oh
