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 There's a creature in my closet I can hear him rumbling 'round The demons screaming in the distance Creates such a humbling 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 Not a sadist, no But I'm hated so The religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast And that I've made it grow When I spray this flow I created more Creatures alike when I heat up 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 Wanna disable N9ne, see him bleed Hinder me fatally and see them grieve, no-oh (chow) You would not believe the creature inside me If you deceive Kalifah's a lively We disagree when people defy me Or tryna take his Whatever the fuckery told 'em 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 There's a creature in my closet I can hear him rumbling 'round The demons screaming in the distance Creates such a humbling 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 Yeah, I managed to get myself in trouble, all of this pain Yeah, I'm down and the double-dosing 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 They get everything from their daddy Feel like I'm addicted to all things Yeah, there's no reason to change I've gone too far now I'm stuck in my ways, back at the bar now They said I'm a flirt and they right I ain't perfect, a'ight? So when I'm thirsty and perking And purposely searching for something that's hurting me, so I just get back up and go I just back out of it slow That's how it go I knock the back out a hoe And next night act I don't know (okay) I think they be laughing at me Hands be grabbing at me Feel like God let it happen to me That'd be blasphemy These be that desperately (okay, yeah) I think I better let it go Either that or I gotta let her know That I can't do that There's a creature in my closet I can hear him rumbling 'round The demons screaming in the distance Creates such a humbling 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
