Singl „The Monster“ v podání Eminema s vokály Rihanny není novinkou dnešního dne, ale zbrusu nový videoklip ano. O tom, že skladba sklidila zasloužené ovoce, není pochyb, teď je čas pro slíbený klip, o kterém jsme psali naposledy ve spojitosti s vydáním „Rap God“. Už jste slyšeli celé album „MMLP2“? Pokud ano, co na něj říkáte?
Jedno se Eminemovi nikdy nezapře a to je hloubka jeho textů, kam až dokáže zajít v jednotlivých verších. Nedá se jmenovat jen jediný, protože by pak celý článek vypadal jak jeden velký seznam – Beatiful, Space Bound, When Im Gone, Like Toy Soldiers… a tak dále. Nenajdete žádné jiné jméno ze současné rappové scény, které by tak moc za celou kariériu zářilo. Eminem je tam, kde si zaslouží být a to na vrcholu.
Eminem – The Monster (Explicit) ft. Rihanna (text / lyrics)
Im friends with the monster thats 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 Im crazy, yeah, you think Im crazy
I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek
Oh well, guess beggars cant be choosey
Wanted to receive attention for my music
Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me
Been wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
Fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated
When I blew; see, it was confusing
Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam (wooh!)
Hit the lottery, oh wee
With what I gave up to get was bittersweet
With this like winning a huge meet
Ironic cause I think Im getting so huge I need a shrink
Im beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep
Going cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
But Im actually weirder than you think
Cause Im
Im friends with the monster thats 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 Im crazy, yeah, you think Im crazy
Well, thats nothing
Well, thats nothing
No, I aint much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and dont squander it
Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want this?
No wonder you losing your mind, the way it wanders)
Yo-lo-lo-lo-yee-whoo
I think you ve been wandering 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 is killing me and I cant conquer it
My OCD is conking me in the head
Keep knocking, nobodys home, Im sleepwalking
Im just relaying what the voice in my heads saying
Dont shoot the messenger, Im just friends with the
Im friends with the monster thats 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 Im crazy, yeah, you think Im crazy
Well, thats nothing
Well, thats nothing
Call me crazy, but I have this vision
One day that I walk amongst you a regular civilian
But until then drums get killed and Im coming straight at
Emcees, blood get spilled and I
Take it back to the days that I get on a Dre track
Give every kid who got played at
Pumped up feeling and shit to say back
To the kids who played em
I aint here to save the fucking children
But if one kid out of a hundred million
Who are going through a struggle feels and then relates thats great
Its payback, Russell Wilson falling way back
In the draft, turn nothing into something, still can make that
Straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack
Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts
I am nuts for real, but Im okay with that
Its nothing, Im still friends with the
Im friends with the monster thats 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 Im crazy, yeah, you think Im crazy
Im friends with the monster thats 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 Im crazy, yeah, you think Im crazy
Well, thats nothing
Well, thats nothing.
