I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Gettin' along with the voices inside of my head!
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy! (Crazy!)

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 is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf.
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (Woo!)
Hit the lottery, oh 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 cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
But I'm actually weirder than you think.

'Cause I'm...

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Gettin' along with the voices inside of my head!
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy!

Well, that's nothin'
(Woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo!)
Well, that's nothin'!
(Woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo!)

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'll do you wonders.
No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders.)
(Yoda-loda-le-hee-hoo!)
I think it went wandering off down yonder
And stumbled on 'ta 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's 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
Gettin' along with the voices inside of my head!
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy!

Well, that's nothin'
(Woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo!)
Well, that's nothin'!
(Woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo!)

Call me crazy but I have this vision
One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian.
But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
MC's, blood get spilled and I'll.
Take you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played that.
Pumped up feeling 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 then 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 straightjacket, face facts!
I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
It's nothing, I'm still friends with the...

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Gettin' along with the voices inside of my head!
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' 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
Gettin' along with the voices inside of my head!
You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy!

Well, that's nothin'
(Woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo!)
Well, that's nothin'!
(Woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo, woo-hoo, hoo!)
