Every time you look at me
You see the monster in my eyes
If you could only help me grow
We could be in paradise
Be happy ever after
And there would be no more tears
Eternal peace is what I’m after
Baby girl you could help me understand
The monster inside of me

The monster inside of me
The monster inside of me
The monster inside of me

I’ve got this sound that resides deep down inside of me
But I’m so damn afraid to let it show
'Cause we all know that if it ain’t
Boom Bap or Trap then it’s unacceptable

Nah n***a fuck that tired of all this dumb crap
Trapped by the claps, the blaps and fuckin' hi-hats
We’s free but n***as still afraid to step outside the box
Don’t get it twisted cause I’m in love with hip-hop

But we treating her like an old hoe all she wants is some new clothes
Deserves the finer things not these hand-me-downs and hobos
Basically raised me used to clothe me too shit
Probably the reason why you dress and act like you do

Said I used to let her dress me but she changed quite a bit
Used to be about the art but now she don’t give a shit
She jaded
Wishing these chuck and jivers would quit
Till I seen her smirk at the sight of me doing something different

The monster inside of me
(Ad libs ad libs)
The monster inside of me
The monster inside of me

Everything this n***a touch clashes
I heard he could see the sounds of the future through his glasses
Hashtag AfroHavingAss
Little do they know my music has an impact similar to Cassius

My words sting like Akeelah and the bee
And fuck a butterfly we taking jetpacks through the galaxy
Often see an alternate way of doing the same thing
My art is jewelry y'all stuck on that bling-bling

Same topic, different amount of respect
Protect your neck someday I may just cut your check
Two G-shocks everybody’s like what the heck
But I see no shade I popped the lenses out my specks

For those questioning what I sound like
Elroy fucking Pebbles underneath the starlight
A n***a from the future his heart in the past
You shouldn’t mix the two I heard they won’t sound right!
Right?

The monster inside of me
(More Ad libs! and gunshots)
The monster inside of me

Frankenstein isn’t a monster
Actually Frankenstein isn’t even the monster
Frankenstein was the name of the creator
And we’ve been calling the creator the monster this whole time
Anyway um the creation if you will
Was actually this being with a very innocent mindset
It’s just that its presentation was so unorthodox and so intimidating
That
You know
Instead of embracing it
We throw stones to get rid of it
Cause you know his is not right this is different
It looks wrong and it sounds wrong
But ...
I don’t think it was "wrong" I think it was just...

(The monster inside of me)

Misunderstood
Honestly
