The Demon In The Mattress

Lyrics

Chorus: I don't wanna go to sleep, I'm scared There's a demon in the mattress, and a monster under my bed That go bump in the night, you know them things that go bump in the night Wait, look I don't wanna go to sleep, I'm scared There's a demon in the mattress, and a monster under my bed That go bump in the night, you know them things that go bump in the night That go bump in the night So this something you can bump in the night A little something you can bump in the night, you can bump in the night So this something you can bump in the night A little something you can bump in the night, you can bump in the night Verse 1: Mama, you don't understand, only Lord knows This room turn into a hell when the door close I hear somebody in the closet near my wardrobe I'ma have to make some kind of signal on morse code Stronghold tryna keep me down, don't understand Why my social worker told me 'you a brave man' When I keep my light illuminated on my nightstand And a nightlight plugged in, need a flight plan Life man, I swear it take you for a loop Gettin' sick and tired of being haunted, where's a bowl of soup when you need it? Granny said you only get defeated when determination and the will to fight are depleted But listen, this battle's much bigger than me Now figuratively, don't know the last time I could sleep 'cause when I drift off, I wake up with cold sweats Repetitive nightmares and then I see the silhouettes so Chorus: I don't wanna go to sleep, I'm scared There's a demon in the mattress, and a monster under my bed That go bump in the night, you know them things that go bump in the night That go bump in the night So this something you can bump in the night A little something you can bump in the night, you can bump in the night So this something you can bump in the night A little something you can bump in the night, you can bump in the night Verse 2: There's voices beneath me, promising to eat me Including the bones, being alone ain't easy, 
I'm queasy Said partner wouldn't believe me Ain't you seen scary movies before, the child usually right My life's gettin' creepy Forget putting covers over my head, instead I made a teepee With a flashlight always had the courage Deep down inside but fear that he prefer it So he paralyze me under the sheets, in the darkness (*demon*): 'How you gonna try to break the barriers of heartless regardless Ain't nobody tryna hear your message Positivity? Please, I turn the people reckless,' he said Showed me images of all my failures Mixed with my fears and the lies he'll sell ya (*demon*): 'Little boy Blew, tell me what'chu gon' do Gonna kick me into this [?]' Little did he know I got a plan I been crafting Whole time something in my hand I been grasping For those asking what happened, I'll tell you later But for now I gotta deal with something greater, hold up Chorus: I don't wanna go to sleep, I'm scared There's a demon in the mattress, and a monster under my bed That go bump in the night, you know them things that go bump in the night That go bump in the night So this something you can bump in the night A little something you can bump in the night, you can bump in the night So this something you can bump in the night A little something you can bump in the night, you can bump in the night (*echoes out*)
