The Monster - Flies on the Square Egg

Written by：Marshall B Iii Mathers/Jonathan David Bellion/Bryan G Fryzel/Aaron L Kleinstub

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 wanted the fame but not the cover of newsweek

Oh well guess beggars can't be choosy

Wanted to receive attention for my music

Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me

Been 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 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

With what I gave up to get was bittersweet

With this like winning a huge meet

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

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

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 ponder it do you want this

No wonder you losing your mind the way it wanders

I think you've been 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 is 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 the with

Friends with I'm 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

Call me crazy but I have this vision

One day that I walk amongst you

A regular civilian

But until then drums get killed

And I'm coming straight at

Mcs blood get spilled and I

Take it back to the days that

I get on a dre track

Give every kid who got played at

Pumped up feeling and sh*t to say back

To the kids who played 'em

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

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 straight jacket 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

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

Well that's not fair
