歌曲歌词

英文

I'm friends with the monster

That's 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 I'm crazy

Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek

Oh well, guess beggers can't be choosey

Wanted to receive attention for my music

Wanted to be left alone in public excuse me

For wanting my cake，and eat it too，

and wanting it both ways

Fame may be a balloon cause my ego inflated

When I blew seep 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

Hit the lottery (oh wee)

With what I gave up to get it was bittersweet

It was like winning a used mink

Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so huge I need a shrink

I'm beginning to lose sleep: one sheep, two sheep

Going cuckoo and kooky as Kool Keith

But I'm actually weirder than you think

I'm friends with the monster

That's 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 I'm crazy

Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

Well that’s nothin'

Now I ain't much of a poet

But I know somebody once told me to seize the moment

And don't 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 wonder ，no wonder

you're losing your mind， the way it wanders?)

I think you've been wandering off down yonder

and stumbled on Jeff VanVonderen

Cause I needed an intervention in this to intervene

between me and this monster

And save me from myself and all this conflict

Cause the very things that

I love is killing me and I can't conquer it

My OCD is clonking me in the head

Keep knocking, nobody's home, I'm sleepwalking

I'm just relaying what the voice of my head saying

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the...

I'm friends with the monster

That's 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 I'm crazy

Yeah,you think I'm crazy

Well that’s not fair

Call me crazy, but I had this vision

One day that I'd walk amongst you a regular civilian

But until then drums get killed I'm coming straight at

Emcees,blood get spilled and I’ll

Take it back to the days that I’d get on a Dre track

Give every kid who got played that

Pumped up feeling and shit that say back

To the kids who played 'em

I ain't here to save the fucking children

But if one kid out of a hundred million

Who are going through a struggle feels it and relates， that's great

It's payback, Russell Wilson falling way back In the draft

turn nothing into something, still can make ，

that straw in the gold chump，

I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack

Maybe I need a straight jacket face facts

I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that

It's nothing, I'm still friends with a...

I'm friends with the monster

That's 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 I'm crazy

Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

I'm friends with the monster

That's 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 I'm crazy

Yeah,you think I'm crazy (crazy)

Well that’s not fair

译文

我是妖魔的朋友

来自床底

和脑海中的声响淡定相处

你想拯救我么

别屏息期待奇迹

你觉得我疯了

呵呵你觉得我疯了

我渴望声名但不想要新闻周刊的头条关注

好吧我想作为乞丐没法太挑拣

我希望我的音乐得到关注

众目睽睽下又希望不要被烦搅真是抱歉

鱼和熊掌我偏要兼得

声名让我如气球急剧膨胀

看吧最终破裂开来这让人迷惑

因为我想要的全部就是成为歌词纸上的李小龙

落墨无意我却用它点起滚滚的蒸汽炉

一把中头彩哦耶

想想我舍弃了什么苦乐参半

好像一路牺牲赢得一件二手的貂皮衣

真是讽刺我如此自我膨胀需要心理医生把我缩回去

我开始失眠一只羊两只羊

变得像 Kool Keith 一样古灵精怪

但我比你想象得更加诡怪

因为我

我是妖魔的朋友

来自床底

和脑海中的声响淡定相处

你想拯救我么

别屏息期待奇迹

你觉得我疯了

何止是疯狂这不值一提

我不是诗人但有人告诉过我

要攫住机会不要浪费

因为你永远不知道可能明天一切都烟消云散

所以我努力创造有时我都不知道这些想法从何而来

是啊深思可以创造奇迹

难怪你失去理智任由思绪徘徊阿拉拉蒂啦

我想思绪的来源不知所以最后不觉想起了Jeff VanVonderen

因为我需要有人在我和这头恶魔之间筑起高墙

拯救我于痛苦之间来阻止这场厮杀

因为曾经我的最爱反而让我生不如死我无力抵抗这种感觉

我的强迫症如鲠在喉让我无力

门外敲门声不断家中无人我已陷入梦游之中

我只是在传达脑海里的恶魔的讯息

别怪罪传话的我我只是在和恶魔为伴

我是妖魔的朋友

来自床底

和脑海中的声响淡定相处

你想拯救我么

别屏息期待奇迹

你觉得我疯了

何止是疯狂这不值一提

大可叫我癫狂无所谓但我却有了这种憧憬

总有一天我也能像普通人一般行走在你们身旁

但除非音乐的鼓点就此消沉否则我依旧会用犀利的话语

让说唱界血流成河

我希望还能回到过去唱着Dr. Dre的歌曲的日子里

让所有遭受欺负的孩子们得到勇气

让他们鼓起自信向那些欺凌他们的

恶少们以血还血

但我特么才不是来拯救弱小儿童的

但如果人群中真有人

受尽痛苦折磨但听到我的歌能得到力量这让我很感激

这算是回报好比Russell Wilson在首轮完全被人忽视

但克服了困难成就一番事业

点石成金即使千难万险我也要亲自让不可能化为可能

也许我疯癫到要穿上拘束衣面对事实吧

我就是个疯子但对此我悠然自得

这都不算什么我只是在和恶魔为伴

我是妖魔的朋友

来自床底

和脑海中的声响淡定相处

你想拯救我么

别屏息期待奇迹

你觉得我疯了

我是妖魔的朋友

来自床底

和脑海中的声响淡定相处

你想拯救我么

别屏息期待奇迹

你觉得我疯了

何止是疯狂这不值一提
