"Creature" lyrics - JELLY ROLL

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
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

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
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

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
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 unlike when I heated 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
Wanted disable N9na, see him bleed
Hinder me fatally and see them greed, no-oh
(Chea!)
You would not believe the creature inside me
If you deceive Khalifahs are lively
We disagree when people defy me
Or try'na take his
Whatever the fuckery taught him, 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

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
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

[Verse 3: Krizz Kaliko]
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 (Yeah)
They get everything from their daddy
Feel like I'm addicted to all things (Yeah)
Yeah, there's no reason to change
I've gone too far now
And I'm stuck in my ways
Back at the bar now
They said I'm a flirt and they right (Yeah)
I ain't perfect, aight? (Yeah)
So when I'm thirsty and perking
And purposely searching for something it's hurting me so
I just get back up and go
I just back out of a show
That's how it go
I knock the back out a ho
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
And atleast it be happening naturally (Okay, yeah)
I think I better let it go (Yeah)
Either that or I gotta let her know
And I can't do that

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
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
