[Verse 1]
I had a dream I was livin'
In a crib just like this one, same wife, different children
And it looks just like home, but feels like I'm visitin'
I really can't tell if it's real or I'm trippin'
As I venture into the kitchen, it's two chicks whisperin'
Figured they was friends with the wife as they kickin' it
I see 'em both gigglin', the laughs gettin' louder
And as I begin listenin', it's clear that they dissonant
Either you drunk, pissed, or you off-piff or belligerent
And must not remember whose kitchen it is you sittin' in
Don't ever disrespect my queen, you gotta get up
And hit it before I really get pissed and start flippin'
And 'fore I could get rid of 'em, one of 'em said "Listen
We'll leave, but in a minute, believe us, we'll be here again
We got permission from the guy that you're livin' with"
(What guy?) "Your friend, upstairs with the lizard skin"

[Chorus]
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
[Verse 2]
Uh, so I hit the stairs runnin' fast
Gun in hand, stompin' through the house lookin' for this man
Bustin' into kids' room, well, they're my kids
But they not my kids, that's the part that I don't understand
And I ain't mention anything from the kitchen
I just asked if any strangers came here to visit
They pointed at this drawing that they made
And this picture was a lady and some man with a face like a lizard
They laughin' as I notice they hands hidden
Behind they back, and there was somethin' black in it
I tell 'em to let me see, as I take a look closer
It was a voodoo doll of my wife with needles all over
And now I'm trippin', askin' 'em where they get it
And what are they doin' wit' it, but all they doin' is grinnin'
They looked at me and said "Dad, quit trippin'
The monster inside y'all's room gave us permission"

[Chorus]
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
[Verse 3]
So I run up in our room, and I see this man
He's standin' over my wife, and she bleedin' bad
I pull a gun out to squeeze, but this thing is jammed
So I swing, but it's so slow I can't even land
I step around and I see his hand
It got my wife's heart in it, and it's beatin' fast
She got tears runnin' all down the cheek
But she keeps smilin', though, you would think she ain't even mad
This dude got a hoodie on, I can't see his face
I'm just tryna figure if he a lizard or he a snake
Is it what the chick explained? Is it who the kids were sayin'
Givin' everybody permission to cause my misses pain?
He yells somethin', and it sounded like "Hypocrite"
Except he ain't say it, he was hissin' it
I asked him his name, he replied "Mark"
Then he looked up, and his face, it was mine

[Chorus]
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
[Verse 4]
I wake up, and it's a chick layin' next to me
But it's not my wife layin' in the bed with me
Tears in my eyes, and this dream got me dyin' inside
'Cause now I finally realize what it was tellin' me
The two women in the kitchen, they were dissin'
'Cause the way that I was livin' had given 'em that permission
And now I wanna flex with words and check for 'em
But my actions is why they was losin' respect for 'em
And them kids that I didn't recognize at first
See, they really were my kids, just not with her
And the doll wit' all the needles inside of her
Represents betrayal they'd always be a reminder of
See, I was runnin' 'round tryna be the hero
But the monster wit' her heart in his hand was me, though
I know you never let anybody hurt her, bro
But don't forget you in the position to hurt her most

[Chorus]
I'll save you, I'll save you
I'll save you, I'll save you
From the monster (From the monster)
