[00:21.39]I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
[00:23.38]Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey
[00:25.91]Wanted to receive attention for my music
[00:28.39]Wanted to be left alone in public. Excuse me
[00:30.69]For wanting my cake and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
[00:33.34]Fame made me a balloon 'cause my ego inflated
[00:36.08]When I blew; see, but it was confusing
[00:38.03]'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
[00:40.97]Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
[00:43.61]Whoo, hit the lottery ooh-wee
[00:45.72]But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet
[00:47.97]It was like winning a used mink
[00:49.37]Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink
[00:52.28]I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
[00:54.62]Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
[00:56.56]But I'm actually weirder than you think
[00:58.47]I'm friends with the monster
[01:00.82]That's under my bed
[01:03.52]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[01:08.42]You're trying to save me
[01:10.65]Stop holding your breath
[01:13.20]And you think I'm crazy
[01:15.40]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[01:18.20]Well,that's not fair
[01:37.71]Now, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
[01:40.50]To seize the moment and don't squander it
[01:42.33]'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
[01:44.65]So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
[01:48.06](Yeah, pondering'll do you wonders
[01:49.75]No wonder you're losing your mind the way it wanders.)Yoda-loda-le-hee-hoo
[01:53.18]I think it went wandering off down yonder and stumbled on 'ta Jeff VanVonderen
[01:57.90]'Cause I need an interventionist to intervene between me and this monster
[02:01.83]And save me from myself and all this conflict
[02:04.62]'Cause the very thing that I love's killing me and I can't conquer it
[02:07.71]My OCD's conking me in the head
[02:10.09]Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking
[02:12.34]I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying
[02:14.49]Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the
[02:15.77]I'm friends with the monster
[02:18.06]That's under my bed
[02:20.53]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[02:25.06]You're trying to save me
[02:27.43]Stop holding your breath
[02:30.02]And you think I'm crazy
[02:32.17]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[02:34.76]Well, that's not fair
[02:55.19]Call me crazy but I have this vision
[02:57.03]One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian
[02:59.56]But until then drums get killed and I'm coming straight at
[03:02.79]MC's, blood get spilled and I'll
[03:04.18]Take you back to the days that I'd get on a Dre track
[03:05.63]Give every kid who got played that
[03:06.51]Pumped up feeling and **** to say back
[03:10.39]To the kids who played him
[03:12.23]I ain't here to save the ******* children
[03:13.80]But if one kid out of a hundred million
[03:16.13]Who are going through a struggle feels it and then relates that's great
[03:19.41]It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back In the draft
[03:21.77]In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
[03:25.22]Straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
[03:29.50]Maybe I need a straightjacket, face facts
[03:31.38]I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that
[03:34.25]It's nothing, I'm still friends with the
[03:35.04]I'm friends with the monster
[03:37.26]That's under my bed
[03:39.66]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[03:44.60]You're trying to save me
[03:46.74]Stop holding your breath
[03:49.36]And you think I'm crazy
[03:51.59]Yeah, you think I'm crazy
[03:54.06]I'm friends with the monster
[03:56.54]That's under my bed
[03:58.84]Get along with the voices inside of my head
[04:03.41]You're trying to save me
[04:06.05]Stop holding your breath
[04:08.40]And you think I'm crazy
[04:10.72]yeah, you think I'm crazy
[04:13.21]Well, that's not fair
