Monsters In My Head

[Intro]

Monsters in my head

Monsters in my head

[Verse 1: Crooked I]

What if I told you I wake up screamin’ and swingin’

Dreamin’ that I’m fighting demons

Dreamin’ I’m swingin’ on heathens

Competin’ and schemin’ to eat every piece of my peace when I’m sleepin’

Need a priest and a deacon

When I’m speakin’ to preachers tell ‘em I’m only at peace when I’m drinkin’

I’m sinking deep into hell, thinkin’ I’m fiendin’ for freedom

‘Cause being in a well isn’t good for my well being

A walkin’ zombie I be comatose, nobody loves a nobody

Who probably overdosed in the lobby of the omni hotel

Probably find me with an empty bottle of oxy

Shakin’ like an earthquakes inside me or I caught the Holy Ghost

Wonder if therapy can take care of these monsters

Before I kill more innocent people than Jared Lee Loughner

They spit on me, shit on me

Society kicked on me, hit on me til I was sick and exhausted

Flipped and I lost it off hallucinogenics

They using a clinic, I saw Lucifer’s image

The elephant in the room are my skeletons in the closet

[Hook: Colin Munroe]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

Wake me up before I’m dead

Don’t bury me with monsters in my head

Monsters in my head

With monsters in my head

And underneath the bed

Underneath the bed

[Verse 2: Joell Ortiz]

I always see ‘em out the corner of my eye

Scared to death to fully see ‘em but I try

I just wanna ask ‘em why they follow me around

And they reply when I hear a sound

Or they walk by and give me a chill I can’t explain

It feels so strange is that a high

My anxiety’s at an all time high

One second I’m good then I flip a switch

Then I’m thinkin’ I might die

These dizzy spells are so annoying

From the outside looking in

Y’all thinkin’ I’m enjoying myself

I need help man, I’m destroying every positive force

With all these negative thoughts

How can I find happiness when I can’t remember it's lost

I do so many temporary things

To smile for just a minute

Hat low but not for style I’m tryna hide under my fitted dog

It’s wild you wouldn’t get it

Try my best to make everybody laugh

But that’s just a disguise, I’m really timid

Somebody make these feelings go away

Forget it, that’s my problem, y’all go ‘head

I hate these monsters in my head

[Hook: Colin Munroe]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

Wake me up before I’m dead

Don’t bury me with monsters in my head

Monsters in my head

With monsters in my head

And underneath the bed

Underneath the bed

[Verse 3: Royce Da 5'9"]

It’s lights out like where the Amish stay

PAC, you can’t tax me

I’m like Wesley Snipes in a sovereign state

I’m a surviving walkin’ oxymoron

Obviously I can say that I am alive

And I’m tryna die this way

Ya’ll on your faggot shit

I’m on my "dragging my magnum clip"

With monsters in my head like Earvin "Magic" dick

Niggas dessert me like eating after the entrée

But I’ma keep it 3000 like after the Andre

I’ve adapted to a private life

Yeah right, me saying that is like sayin’

I’m shooting dice on a floor made out of dykes

I made out alive, this chaotic life

I just figured just quit giving dick to trick bitches and stay out of fights

But I’m on my high snortin’

You see this monster ball is like seeing Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton

It’s fucking classic

As far as rap, I wish I could wrap it in plastic

And stick it up your fucking asses

I’m a MONSTER

[Hook: Colin Munroe]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

Wake me up before I’m dead

Don’t bury me with monsters in my head

Monsters in my head

With monsters in my head

And underneath the bed

Underneath the bed

[Verse 4: Joe Budden]

Take heed to what I’m giving you

Beefin’ is habitual

He just ridicules wants me in critical

Will appease and get rid of you

Maybe the only thing I seek is biblical

The scars are internal and the bleeding is invisible

Got a friend named depression, a pill I take to relax him

But when he regurgitates it’s the aches you just couldn’t fathom

Got a few talents but looking for a new challenge

I’ll let you walk in my shoes once I find a New Balance

With faith I stand peaceful, I know every man’s equal

So I’m playing with the monsters like a Space Jam sequel

Give ‘em two choices

Since they wanna do the least, tell ‘em they can get off my dick or renew the lease

Persevere though my bed is corrupt

Expect I give up when left to destruct

But I give less than a fuck

Sit back comfortably, react to what they want with me

The bright side is that they keeping an insomniac company

[Hook: Colin Munroe]

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord, my soul to keep

Wake me up before I’m dead

Don’t bury me with monsters in my head

Monsters in my head

With monsters in my head

And underneath the bed

Underneath the bed
