The Monster (Cover) - K!nder/August.mp3

[00:00.568]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:05.062]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[00:09.335]You're tryin' to save me, stop holding your breath
[00:13.689]And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
[00:19.293]I wanted the fame but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:21.047]Oh well, guess beggars can't be choosey
[00:23.205]Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:25.255]Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
[00:27.600]For wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways
[00:30.170]Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[00:32.340]When I blew, see, but it was confusing
[00:33.957]'Cause all I wanted to do's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:36.896]Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (ooh)
[00:39.772]Hit the lottery, ooh-wee
[00:41.165]But with what I gave up to get, it was bittersweet
[00:43.605]It was like winnin' a used mink
[00:44.832]Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink
[00:47.177]I'm beginnin' to lose sleep, one sheep, two sheep
[00:49.303]Going coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith
[00:51.175]But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm
[00:53.483]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[00:57.306]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:01.632]You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[01:06.155]And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:10.472]Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:14.198](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:19.010]Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:23.194](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[01:28.743]Now, I ain't much of a poet
[01:29.799]But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment
[01:31.752]And don't squander it
[01:33.184]'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[01:35.081]So I keep conjurin'
[01:35.824]Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:38.064]Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders
[01:39.343]No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders
[01:41.705]Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
[01:43.063]I think it went wanderin' off down yonder
[01:44.765]And stumbled onto Jeff VanVonderen
[01:46.955]'Cause I need an interventionist
[01:48.397]To intervene between me and this monster
[01:50.378]And save me from myself and all this conflict
[01:52.769]'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me
[01:54.189]And I can't conquer it
[01:55.580]My OCD is conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'
[01:58.108]Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'
[02:00.080]I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'
[02:01.984]Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[02:03.596]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[02:07.316]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:11.397]You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[02:15.693]And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:20.308]Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:24.597](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:29.099]Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:33.141](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[02:39.487]Call me crazy, but I have this vision
[02:40.776]One day that I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian
[02:43.424]But until then, drums get killed and
[02:45.129]I'm comin' straight at MC's, blood gets spilled and
[02:47.384]I'll take it back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[02:49.444]Give every kid who got played that pumped-up feelin'
[02:52.123]And shit to say back to the kids who played him
[02:54.530]I ain't here to save the ****in' children
[02:55.777]But if one kid out of a hundred million
[02:57.932]Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates, that's great
[03:00.766]It's payback, Russell Wilson
[03:02.599]Falling way back in the draft
[03:03.599]Turn nothin' into somethin', still can
[03:05.796]Make that, straw into gold, chump, I will spin
[03:07.917]Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[03:10.047]Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
[03:12.345]I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[03:14.550]It's nothin', I'm still friends with the
[03:15.680]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:19.173]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:23.701]You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:28.025]And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:32.092]I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
[03:36.610]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:40.959]You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
[03:45.235]And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:49.672]Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:54.082](Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[03:58.304]Well, that's nothin' (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
