J Rice - The Monster Lyrics






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)

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone, public excuse me
Been wanting my cake, and eat it too
Wanting it both ways
Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew see it was confusing
Cause all I wanted to do's be
the Bruce Lee of loose leaf... Abused ink,
used it as a tool when I blew steam
Hit the lottery (oh wee)
but With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
It was 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 cucko and cuckier 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

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
Tomorrow I wonder
where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you wonder's no wonder you're losing your mind the way you're brought up?)
I think you've been wandering off down yonder and stumbled on to Jeff VanVonderen
Cause I need a interventionist to intervene between me and this monster
save me from myself and all this conflict
the very things I love are 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 of my head saying
Don't shoot 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

    you look like adam levine sometime!!!

  5. C.... ....

    mmm i don't really like this cover, it seems like a will.i.am cover, the style is that, like pop music, but this is rap not pop, i think everyone can make his version of a song, but pop version is not so impressive

  6. c.... h....

    You did so perfect <3 your voice is amazing!

  7. P.... B....

    nice interpretacion

  8. H.... J....

    It's good. For all those that think it's bad, get the fact that it's not sang by Eminem he doesn't have the same voice so you can't expect someone to have another person's exact voice to sing the same song.

  9. M.... ....

    Dat autotune.
    I heard some in the beginning.

  10. D.... T....

    This boy has no flow

    D.... T....

    P.... J....

    The song was still amazing though I enjoyed listening to it

  46. B.... H....

    Omfg people! He's not trying to be Eminem or dope ass. This is a really good cover and If you are complaining and saying shit about him, then why don't you make a cover of this song. I'll see if you can do it better than him. I'll bet $500

    I like it. Kinda an r&b. Twist to it. The only prob I saw was the video was too dark

  80. i.... ....

    I hate it when people use the word "official" in their titles when it's a cover.  Youtube should ban such practice, as it's totally misleading.  Thanks for wasting my time.
