[Intro:] 
Monsters, in my head 
Monsters, in my head 
 
[Crooked I] 
What if I told you I wake up screamin and swingin, dreamin that I'm fightin demons 
Dreamin I'm swingin on heathens, competin and schemin 
to eat every piece of my peace when I'm sleepin, need a priest and a deacon 
I'm speakin to preachers, tell 'em I'm only at peace when I'm drinkin 
I'm sinkin deep into hell thinkin I'm fiendin for freedom 
Cause bein in a well isn't good for my well-bein 
A walkin zombie I be comatose 
Nobody loves a nobody who probably overdosed 
in the lobby of the Omni Hotel, probably find me with an empty bottle of Oxy 
Shakin like a earthquake's inside me or I caught the holy ghost 
Wonder if therapy could take care of these monsters 
before I kill more innocent people than Jared Lee Loughner! 
They spit on me, shit on me, society kicked on me, hit on me 
'til I was sick and exhausted, flipped and I lost it 
off hallucinogenics, they usin a clinic, I saw Lucifer's image 
The elephant in the room are my skeletons in the closet 
 
[Chorus:] 
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep 
Wake me up before I'm dead, don't bury me, with monsters in my head 
Monsters in my head, with monsters in my head 
And underneath the bed, underneath the bed 
 
[Joell Ortiz] 
I always see 'em out the corner of my eye 
Scared to death to fully see 'em but I try, I just wanna ask 'em why  
they follow me around and they reply when I hear a sound or they walk by 
and give me a chill I can't explain, it feels so strange, is that a high? 
My anxiety's at an all-time high 
One second I'm good then I flip a switch and I'm thinkin I might die! 
These dizzy spells are so annoyin 
From the outside lookin in y'all think I'm enjoyin myself, I need help man I'm destroyin 
every positive force, with all these negative thoughts 
How can I find happiness when I can't remember it's lost? 
I do so many temporary things to smile for just a minute 
Hat low but not for style, I'm tryin to hide under my fitted 
Dawg it's wild, you wouldn't get it! 
Try my best to make e'rybody laugh, but that's just a disguise, I'm really timid 
Somebody make these feelings go away, forget it, that's my problem 
Y'all go 'head - I hate these monsters in my head 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Royce Da 5'9"] 
Uhh, it's lights out like where the Amish stay 
Pappy you can't tax me, I'm like Wesley Snipes in the sovereign states 
I'm a survivin walkin oxymoron, obviously I can say  
that I am alive and I'm tryin to die this way 
Y'all on y'all faggot shit, I'm on my draggin my Magnum clip 
with monsters in my head like Earvin Magic Dick 
Niggaz (dessert) me like eatin after the entrée 
But I'ma keep it 3000 like after the André 
I've adapted to a private life, yeah right 
Me sayin that is like sayin I'm shootin dice on a floor made out of dice 
I made out alive this chaotic life 
I just figured just quit givin dick to trick bitches and stay out of fights 
But I'm on my high snortin 
You see this (Monster Ball) is like seein Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton 
It's FUCKIN classic! As far as rap 
I wish I could wrap it in plastic and stick it up your fuckin ass 
Cause, I'm a MONSTER! [echoes] 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Joe Budden] 
Take heed to what I'm givin you, the beefin is habitual 
He just ridicules, wants me in critical, will appease and get rid of you 
Maybe the only thing I seek is biblical 
When the scars are internal when the bleedin is invisible 
Got a friend named depression, a pill I take to relax him 
but when he regurgitates it the aches you just couldn't fathom 
Got a few talents, but lookin for a new challenge 
I'll let you walk in my shoes once I find a (New Balance) 
With faith I stand peaceful, I know e'ry man's equal 
So I'm playin with the (Monstars) like a Space Jam sequel 
Give 'em two choices, since they don't wanna do the least 
They 'em they can get off my DICK, or renew the lease 
Persevere though my bed is corrupt, expect I give up  
when left to destruct, but I give less than a FUCK! 
Sit back comfortably, react to what they want with me 
The bright side is they keep an insomniac company 
 
[Chorus].
