Monsters in the Closet (Vtek Remix) [feat. V-Tek]

Verse 1:

Uh, Yeah. One.

Two. One two. Turn me up. Turn me up.

Uh, listen. There's a story of a girl who is me.

She gave everything to the industry

And she thought she'd be a big success story

And people thought that she was happy as can be

But they didn't see my tears falling constantly

And they didn't know I was scared and lonely

Abandoned, starring role in this scary movie

And I don't know how I didn’t die in the first scene.

Hook:

And I keep telling myself there’s no monsters in the closet

But my trauma keeps on triggering my anxiety

Am I crazy, because I fear the monsters in the closet

Oh well, guess I just need more therapy

Verse 2:

Now, they’ll say Syleena whatever do you mean

It seems like you've been out here doing your thing

You have been able to have longevity

And I'll say, don't believe everything that you see

Cause trust me, all that I have came with a large fee

So high, so steep to the point it almost killed me

But God, yea though I walk through the valley

Thank God He's been there to cover me

Hook:

And I keep telling myself there’s no monsters in the closet

But my trauma keeps on triggering my anxiety

Am I crazy, because I fear the monsters in the closet

Oh well, guess I just need more therapy.

Vamp:

And I can't sit here and be quiet bout’ how shit really be

It’s eating me inside

And I can't hide how it has hurt me and my family.

This music heals me

But the business takes from me

It stole my piece, shook my belief

It took my daddy away from me.

(Oh Lord, help me.)

VTek Verse:

Back before the fame, before the people call me Don Dada

I had to work my ass off cos the road harder

Couple Grammys later, I be getting the rabba

Made a couple friends and some enemies

Got caught up in everything, the industry make me go gaga

Cause my ambition be pushing, making me go farther

But I was wrong coz I know when it all falls out

That’s when the noise in my head turn it up

I seen a lot of things, I don lost my mind couple of times

And now I know that I need therapy to be fine

Ama keep it real with you, I ain't telling a lie

This life did a number on me

And so my mama call me born winner, born winner

Because I dey overcome na na

And so my mama call me born winner, born winner

I'm a champion for the rest of my life

Hook:

And I keep telling myself there’s no monsters in the closet

But my trauma keeps on triggering my anxiety

Am I crazy, because I fear the monsters in the closet (I fear)

Oh well, guess I just need more therapy (more therapy)

And I keep telling myself there’s no monsters in the closet (save me)

But my trauma keeps on triggering my anxiety

Am I crazy, because I fear the monsters in the closet (Oh yeah)

Oh well, guess I just need more therapy

Oh well, guess I just need more therapy

No lies, this responsibility is heavy

But I'll be damned if these curses don't die with me here

Daddy, I promise to carry our legacy.
