Lyrics

[Chorus: 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 holding your breath

And you think I'm crazy

Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)

[Eminem: Verse 1]

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, the public excuse me

Been wanting my cake, I need it too, wanting it both ways

Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated

When I blew seep it was confusing

Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

Hit the lottery, oh wee

With what I gave up to get was bittersweet

It was like winning a huge meet

Ironic cause I think I'm getting so big I need a shrink

I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

Going cucko and cuckier as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

Cause I'm

[Chorus:]

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 not fair

Well, that's not fair

[Eminem: Verse 2]

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 could all be over

[?] so I keep conjuring

Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

(Yeah, ponder it

Do you wonder there's no wonder you're losing your mind the way you're brought up?)

I think you've been wandering off down your [?] and stumbled upon Jeff [?]

Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene between me and this monster

And save me from myself and all this conflict

Cause the very things that I love is killing me and I can't conquer it

My OCD is [?] me in the head

Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking

I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying

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

[Chorus:]

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 not fair

Well, that's not fair

[Eminem: Verse 3]

Call me crazy, but I had this vision

One day that I'd walk amongst you regular civilians

But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at

Emcees, blood get spilled and I

Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track

Give every kid who got played gat

Pumped the villain and shit that say back

To the kids who played 'em

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 and relates that's great

It's payback, [?] falling way back

In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that

Straw in the gold chump I will spend

[?] in a hay stack

Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts

I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that

It's nothing, I'm still friends with a

[Bridge:]

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 not fair
