The Monster
EminemI'm friends with the monster
That's under my bed
Get along with the inside of my head
You're trying to me
Stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy
Yeah, you think I'm crazy (crazy)
I wanted the , but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess can't be choosy
Wanted to receive for my music
Wanted to be left alone in excuse me
Been wanting my , And eat it too
And wanting it both
Fame made me a cause my ego inflated
When I seep and it was confusing
Cause all I wanted to do
is be the Bruce Lee of leaf
Abused , used it as a tool when I blew steam
Hit the (oh wee)
With what I up to get was bittersweet
It was like a huge meet
Ironic 'cause I
I'm getting so huge I need a
I'm beginning to lose : one sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cookey as Kool Keith
But I'm actually than you think
Cause I'm...
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
oh oh oh oh
Well, that's nothing
oh oh oh oh
Now I ain't much of a poet
But I know somebody once told me
to the moment
And don't it
Cause you never know when it could all be over
Tomorrow so I keep
Sometimes I wonder where
these thoughts from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?
there's no wonder you're losing your mind
the way you're wandering?)
I think you've been off down yonder
and onto Jeff VanVonderen
Cause I needed an interventionist
to intervene me and this monster
And save me from and all this conflict
Cause the very thing that I love is me
and I can't conquer it
My OCD is conking me in the head
Keep , nobody's home,
I'm sleepwalking
I'm just relaying what the voice in my head saying
Don't 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
oh oh oh oh
Well, that's nothing
oh oh oh oh
Call me , but I had this vision
One day that,
I'd walk you a regular civilian
But, until then,
get killed and I'm Coming straight at
Emcees, get spilled and I
Take it back to the days that, I get on a Dre track
Give every who got played at
Pumped the feeling
and to say back
To the kids who played 'em
I ain't here to save the fucking
But if one kid out of a million
Who are going through a feels
and it that's great
It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the , turn nothing into something still,
can make that
Straw in the gold chump I will spend
Rumpelstiltskin in a hay stack
Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
I am 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
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)
Get along with the voices inside of my head
(You're tryna)
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

I would have preferred a house of my own rather than sharing but I suppose beggars can't be choosers.
Loose leaf refers to the paper Em scribbles his rhymes on
