Creature

There's a monster under my bed, and at my window there's a dragon
 I accepted the challenge, it turned me into a savage
 I broke a promise to myself again
 I don't know why I am so vulnerable
 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
 I embraced the storm, I found beauty in what was damaged
 I'm not afraid of the Boogieman
 Instead, I look at him like he's a friend
 There's not a monster out there in the world
 That's scarier than the one that's within
 There's a creature in my closet
 I can hear him rumbling 'round
 The demons screaming in the distance
 Creates such a humbling sound
 The monster that's outside my window
 He's like family to me now
 The things that people are afraid of
 Never let me down
 Not a sadist, no
 But I'm hated so
 The religious freaks say I'm the biggest beast
 And that I've made it grow
 When I spray this flow
 I created more
 Creatures alike when I heat up the mic
 I'm a breed of the night, but I'm tainted though
 By the darkness I'm binded
 I sparked it and shined it
 They find it 'cause mine is whoa
 For that they labeled me a demon seed
 Wanna disable N9ne, see him bleed
 Hinder me fatally and see them grieve, no-oh (chow)
 You would not believe the creature inside me
 If you deceive Kalifah's a lively
 We disagree when people defy me
 Or tryna take his
 Whatever the fuckery told 'em you don't wanna break this
 You forsake his, what is sacred?
 Then it's over, no matter what your faith is
 I'm a creature
 There's a creature in my closet
 I can hear him rumbling 'round
 The demons screaming in the distance
 Creates such a humbling sound
 The monster that's outside my window
 He's like family to me now
 The things that people are afraid of
 Never let me down
 Yeah, I managed to get myself in trouble, all of this pain
 Yeah, I'm down and the double-dosing liquor's always to blame
 If I could keep myself sober, I'd keep my hands to myself
 I take a shot, and it's over, that's how I end up in Hell (I do)
 I hope I don't pass it down to my offspring
 They get everything from their daddy
 Feel like I'm addicted to all things
 Yeah, there's no reason to change
 I've gone too far now
 I'm stuck in my ways, back at the bar now
 They said I'm a flirt and they right
 I ain't perfect, a'ight?
 So when I'm thirsty and perking
 And purposely searching for something that's hurting me, so
 I just get back up and go
 I just back out of it slow
 That's how it go
 I knock the back out a hoe
 And next night act I don't know (okay)
 I think they be laughing at me
 Hands be grabbing at me
 Feel like God let it happen to me
 That'd be blasphemy
 These be that desperately (okay, yeah)
 I think I better let it go
 Either that or I gotta let her know
 That I can't do that
 There's a creature in my closet
 I can hear him rumbling 'round
 The demons screaming in the distance
 Creates such a humbling sound
 The monster that's outside my window
 He's like family to me now
 The things that people are afraid of
 Never let me down
