Capo 3
Intro: Am  
AmYou can look at them coming out the walls
You can look at them climbing out the bushes
You can find them when the letter's bout to fall
He be waiting with his camera on focus
Everywhere you seem to turn, there's a monster
When you look up in the air there's a monster
Paparazzi got you scared like a monster
Monster, monster
Pre-chorus:
Too Fbad, HollyGwood, it's got you jumping like you Amshould
It's got you bouncing off the wall, it's got you drunk enough to fall
Too Fbad Oh oh, HollyGwood just look in the Emirror
And tell me you like, don't you, don't you like it
Chorus:
AmMonster, he's a Fmonster, he's an GanimalE  
AmMonster, He's a Fmonster, He's an Ganimal        E(yea-eah)
AmHe's coming at ya, coming at ya rather too fast
Mama say, mama got you in a zig-zag
And you're running and you're running just to escape it
But they are gunning for the money so they fake it
Everywhere you seem to turn, there's a monster
When you look up in the air, there's a monster
When you see them in the street, That's a monster
Monster, monster

There vision, the missin' the pack, this is that
This the bomb, ring the alarm MJ number one
It's goes on and on, its goes on and on
We get to crippin', its running in the early morn'
Keep on dreaming there's nowhere to run, you can drive but you done
I can feel it in the air, hear the monster come
