          Cm                            Eb
There's a monster under my bed and at my window there's a dragon

  Ab                                           Bb
I accepted the challenge, it turned me into a savage

Cm
I broke a promise to myself again

Ab
I don't know why I am so vulnerable

Cm         Eb
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

  Ab                                              Bb        Cm
I embraced the storm, I found beauty in what was damaged

        Eb                       Ab
I'm not afraid of the boogieman

          Bb                             Cm
Instead I look at him like he's a friend

              Eb                              Ab
There's not a monster out there in the world

                            Bb
That's scarier than the one that's within
[Chorus]
Cm           Ab
There's a creature in my closet
I can hear him rumbling 'round
Cm             Ab
The demons screaming in the distance

        Bb               Cm
Creates such a humbling sound

                   Ab
The monster that's outside my window

He's like family to me now

Cm                Eb              Ab

Never let me down
[Verse 2]
                  Eb
Not a sadist, no, but I'm hated so

Ab
The religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast

              Bb
And that I've made it grow

Cm
When I spray this flow, I created more

Ab
Creatures unlike when I heated the mic

                                 Bb              Cm
I'm a breed of the night but I'm tainted though

       Eb
By the darkness I'm binded

  Ab
I sparked it and shined it

                    Bb       Cm
They find it 'cause mine is whoa

              Eb
For that they labeled me a demon seed

       Ab
Wanted disable N9na, see him bleed

                               Bb      Cm
Hinder me fatally and see them greed, no-oh (Chea!)

                  Eb
You would not believe the creature inside me

       Ab
If you deceive Khalifahs are lively

                        Bb
We disagree when people defy me

          Cm
Or try'na take his

                     Eb
Whatever the fuckery taught him, you don't wanna break this

    Ab
You forsake his, what is sacred?

                                    Bb
Then it's over, no matter what your faith is

      Cm
I'm a creature
[Chorus]
              Ab
There's a creature in my closet

Yeah, I managed to get myself in trouble, all of this pain

Ab                                             Bb
Yeah, I'm down and the double-dosing liquor's always to blame

Cm                    Eb
If I could keep myself sober, I'd keep my hands to myself

Ab                                                         Cm
I take a shot and it's over, that's how I end up in Hell (I do)

               Eb
I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring (Yeah)

They get everything from their daddy

                          Bb
