Creature

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]

There's a monster under my bed

And at my window there's a dragon

I accepted the challenge

It turned me into a savage

I broke a promise to myself again

I don't know why I am so vulnerable

They try to help but I won't let them in

I guess rock bottom's where I'm comfortable

Both my feet planted when most people would've panicked

I embraced the storm, I found beauty in what was damaged

I'm not afraid of the boogieman

Instead, I look at him like he's a friend

There's not a monster out there in the world

That's scarier than the one that's within

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

There's a creature in my closet

I can hear him rumblin' 'round

The demons screamin' in the distance

Creates such a humblin' sound

The monster that's outside my window

He's like family to me now

The things that people are afraid of

Never let me down

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]

Not a sadist, no

But I'm hated so

While religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast

And that I've made it grow

When I spray this flow

I created more

Creatures unlike when I heated the mic

I'm a breed of the night but I'm tainted though

By the darkness, I'm binded

I sparked it and shined it

They find it 'cause mine is whoa

For that, they labeled me a demon seed

Want to disable N9na, see him bleed

Hinder me fatally and see them greed, no-oh

(Chea!)

You would not believe the creature inside me

If you deceive Khalifahs are lively

We disagree when people defy me

Or try'na take his

Whatever the fuckery taught him, you don't wanna break this

You forsake his

What is sacred?

Then it's over, no matter what your faith is

I'm a creature

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

There's a creature in my closet

I can hear him rumblin' 'round

The demons screamin' in the distance

Creates such a humblin' sound

The monster that's outside my window

He's like family to me now

The things that people are afraid of

Never let me down

[Verse 3: Krizz Kaliko]

Yeah, I managed to get myself in trouble, all of this pain

Yeah, I'm down and the double-dosin', liquor's always to blame

If I could keep myself sober, I'd keep my hands to myself

I take a shot and it's over, that's how I end up in Hell (I do)

I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring (Yeah)

They get everything from their daddy, feel like I'm addicted to all things (Yeah)

Yeah, there's no reason to change, gone too far now

And I'm stuck in my ways, back at the bar now

They said I'm a flirt and they right (Yeah), I ain't perfect, aight? (Yeah)

So when I'm thirsty and perkin' and purposely searchin' for somethin' it's hurtin' me so

I just get back up and go, I just back out of a show

That's how it go, I knock the back out a ho

And next night act I don't know (Okay)

I think they be laughin' at me, hands be grabbin' at me

Feel like God let it happen to me

That'd be blasphemy

And at least it be happenin' naturally (Okay, yeah)

I think I better let it go (Yeah)

Either that or I gotta let her know

And I can't do that

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

There's a creature in my closet

I can hear him rumblin' 'round

The demons screamin' in the distance

Creates such a humblin' sound

The monster that's outside my window

He's like family to me now

The things that people are afraid of

Never let me down
