I Saw a Monster - Insane Clown Posse

I was younger, probably seventeen or eighteen

Representin' scrub life, everybody hate me

Night after night, I would stress, I

Should’ve been at a party, but I wasn’t that type of guy

I wanted to be a ninja, and I wanted it severe

I challenged myself all the time, it was weird

I’d be layin' there in bed, I’d tell myself I was weak

Unless I run right now, out the house, and booked down the street

And up the hill, in the park, about two blocks away

Sometimes still in my socks, there goes J

Scootin', on a self-made ninja mission

My dog runnin' with me, we hit the ignition

And fly nonstop up to the top, with the quickness

Something I had to prove to myself, call it a sickness

But there I was, proud as can be, arms spread

I yelled «Warrior!"as loud as I could

And one night, I walked my girl to my car

Clouds speedin' through the sky, unusually dark

Cold, wicked, and windy, and you know I was bummin'

I just wanted to sleep (No!), but then I knew what was comin' (No!)

Got in bed, then it started in my head (No!), I fought it

Told myself I’m a neden if I don’t do it, and I bought it

Out the door, I was flyin' like a thief in the dark

Cut across the lawns to jumpstead the beat of my heart (Woo!)

Got to the top and yelled, it wasn’t like other nights

I yelled «Warrior!"but somethin' wasn’t right

A huge gust of wind almost put me on the ground

I was noided runnin' back down, but didn’t fuck around

I was halfway back home and stopped to catch my breath

When I seen it, a real life creature of death

A fuckin' monster, stompin' out of the woods behind me

I’ll never forget it, you won’t need to remind me

Like a bigfoot, arms mad long and scary

As tall as a stop sign, big and hairy

I was gone, thought about bangin' on peoples' doors for help

But what the fuck they gonna do?

I’m in this shit by myself

I ran up in my house and laid up under the window

Right there in the dark, and all I hear in the wind blow

All that «warrior"shit, I probably conjured up a demon

He came to fight and saw me run off like a bitch, screamin'

Is he still out there, who knows?

I called Nate the Mack

He came over in the Nova with the shotty in the back

I jumped in, we bounced, and to this day, y’all

I don’t know if anybody believes it when I say

I saw a monster, it was gonna kill me, feel me?

I was out of that bitch, it couldn’t come near me

I saw a monster, yeah, I guess it could’ve been fake

But who the fuck would be willin' to do all that it would take?

I saw a monster, and it would’ve ripped me in pieces (Shit)

If I would’ve stayed to fight it, and that is my thesis

I saw a monster, and I’ll never be the same

It’s embedded in my brain, it will forever remain

It was a monster

And there you go, a true story from the streets of Detroit

I swear to God, I saw a monster

But for all you haters and nonbelievers and haters out there

Fuck you if you don’t believe I’ve seen a monster

That’s real
