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 againI 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
