Sonora.ID – Berikut ini adalah lirik lagu ‘The Monster’ yang dinyanyikan oleh Eminem feat. Rihanna yang dirilis pada 29 Oktober 2013 lalu.

Melansir Genius, The Monster” adalah single keempat Eminem dari The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Kebetulan, ini juga menandai keempat kalinya Eminem dan Rihanna berkolaborasi.

Lagu yang kelam dan emosional ini membuat Eminem menganggap alter ego Shady-nya sebagai monster. Monster itu bisa juga adalah ketenaran yang telah merampas begitu banyak darinya, atau mungkin monster sebenarnya adalah pikirannya dan iblis yang mengganggunya.

Lagu ini ditulis bersama oleh Bebe Rexha dan Jon Bellion, dan kemudian memenangkan penghargaan untuk Kolaborasi Rap/Sung Terbaik di Grammy 2015.

Lirik

[Intro: Rihanna]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get 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

[Verse 1: Eminem]

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 wantin' my cake, and eat it too, and wantin' 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's be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf

Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam

Whoo! Hit the lottery, ooh-wee!

But with what I gave up to get it was bittersweet

It was like winnin' a used mink

Ironic 'cause I think I'm gettin' so huge I need a shrink

I'm beginnin' to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

Goin' coo-coo and kooky as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think, 'cause I'm—

[Chorus: Rihanna]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get 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'

[Post-Chorus: Rihanna & Bebe Rexha]

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Well, that's nothin'

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2: Eminem & Bebe Rexha]

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 conjurin'

Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

Yeah, ponderin'll do you wonders

No wonder you're losin' your mind, the way it wanders

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh) Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!

I think it went wanderin' 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's killin' me and I can't conquer it

My OCD's conkin' me in the head, keep knockin'

Nobody's home, I'm sleepwalkin'

I'm just relayin' what the voice in my head's sayin'

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the—

[Chorus: Rihanna]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get 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'

[Post-Chorus: Rihanna & Bebe Rexha]

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Well, that's nothin'

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Call me crazy, but I have this vision, one day that

I'll walk amongst you a regular civilian

But until then, drums get killed and

I'm comin' straight at MCs, blood gets 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 feelin'

And shit to say back to the kids who played him

I ain't here to save the fuckin' children

But if one kid out of a hundred million

Who are goin' through a struggle, feels it and relates, that's great

It's payback, Russell Wilson fallin' way back

In the draft, turn nothin' into somethin', 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 nothin', I'm still friends with the

[Chorus: Rihanna, Eminem & Both]

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed

Get 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

(Get along with) Get along with the voices inside of my head

(You're tryin' to) You're tryin' to save me, stop holdin' your breath

(And you think) And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Well, that's nothin'

[Post-Chorus: Rihanna & Eminem, Bebe Rexha]

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Well, that's nothin'

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(New-ooh, ooh-ooh)
