The Monster

There ain't a monster that's under my bed
因为我与床下的魔鬼成为挚友
ain't friends with no voices inside of my head
我已习以为常，脑海中的另一个声音
You're trying to shake me, stop holding your breath
你想要拯救我，还是放弃这个念头吧【来自俗语Don't holding your breath有些事永远不会发生】
And you think it's crazy, yeah you think it's crazy
你们都觉得我疯，呵呵 觉得我的确疯了
I wanted the dream... I prayed God would use me
我曾经想要成名，祈祷上帝我受到重用
Oh well,I guess rap can't be choosy
好吧！看来乞丐没有施舍的权利
Wanted to receive attention for my music
只是想着我的音乐能得到更多的关注
Wanted to be an example, so excuse me
想歌曲能够成为经典，请原谅我
For wanting my cake, and eat it too, and wanting it both ways
想要出名的同时，也想要个人隐私得到尊重【出自俗语Can't have your cake and eat it too二者不可兼得】
Fame may be a balloon 'cause my haters inflated
名气就像吹气球，吹起不断自负的膨胀感
When I blew; see, and it was confusing
名气越来越大，我同样逐渐感到困惑
'Cause all I wanted to do is be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf
因为我只想在作词领域，成为像李小龙一样的泰斗【loose leaf一种三孔笔记本的纸张】
Abused ink, used it as a tool when I blew steam
把墨水当做假想敌，用文字发泄我当时的不满情绪
(Ooh!) Be the best that I could be
噢，我要尽我所能做到最好
But with what I learned when I got it was bittersweet
放弃的同时，也给我带来了苦中带乐的收获
It was like dreaming a new dream
这就像做场梦，一个新起点
Ironic 'cause I think I'm getting so quick I don't even think
真是讽刺名利让我冲昏，需要心理医生把我缩回去
they ain't making me lose sleep, it's: one sheep, two sheep
失眠开始整夜陪伴我：一只羊、两只羊...
flowin' cuckoo and cooky as Kool Keith
神经越来越分裂，就像当时的Kool Keith
But I'm actually closer than you think because there...
但我这种怪诞的病情，远远超出了你们的想象
'Cause there ain't a monster that's under my bed
因为我与床下的魔鬼成为挚友
ain't friends with no voices inside of my head
我已习以为常，脑海中的另一个声音
You're trying to shake me, stop holding your breath

And you think it's crazy, yeah you think it's crazy

Well that's not fair
好吧！这不算什么

喔~噢 喔~噢 喔~噢 喔~噢
oh oh, oh oh, well that's not fair
喔~噢 喔~噢 喔~噢 喔~噢

Now I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody
我不像一个诗人，但我一个曾经我认识的人
Once told me to seize the moment and don't squander it
他教导我：珍惜现在的每一分钟，时间不是用来挥霍的
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
因为凡事都不可预见，可能明天一切都会结束
So I keep pondering
所以我坚持我的音乐
sometimes I wonder
有时候我也在想
Where these dreams come from
这些奇怪的东西从何冒出
(Yeah, ponder it, do you want that?
（好好考虑一下，这不是你想要的吗？
You can never be who you want... you're just a kid Matt)
你能想象你要成为谁吗...你不过就是个小孩Matty）
Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo
呦噜噜咦嚯...
I think I just stumbled again
我想我只是一次偶然
right to memory lane
出现在合适的时间点
back to my first topic
回到想我的首次说唱
'cause you ain't gotta be the biggest, best, or the smartest
当时可能不会是最大的、最好的亦或是最聪明的
if you don't accept you've went your farthest yet
倘若你无法接受可能不会在这条路走的很远
you fall, don't break step ya get started
纵然你摔倒了，也不能阻止你的脚步，收拾心情重新出发
'cause the very holding you back is inside ya head
因为它会在你的脑海里压抑你，让你无法前行
and as for me - I'll be doing my thing
所以对于我来说——只管做好自己的事
growing up, the kid that'll be the next king
不断成长，终究会成为这个时代的领导者
that's my dream... maybe we then should get aquatinted
