“Monster” samples the song of the same title by Meg & Dia and introduces b-Rabbit’s alter-ego Travis Smith.
This song was re-written five different times before b-Rabbit settled on this version, incorporating recent events into every re-write.
The beat was produced by NiceGuyBeats.

Monster
How should I feel?
Creatures lie here
Looking through the window...

[Verse 1: b-Rabbit]
I can't believe it, what have I done?
This isn't how I wanted it to be, this ain't how I get on top
I lost their trust, our friendship just stop
But it ain't my fault, I'm just trying to make some hip-hop
But something inside is tearing me apart
See I been away from God for about four years, leaving a broken heart
For the most part I didn't think it was cool to talk about this sort
Stopped going to church, ended my search
But recently something just ain't been right
The anger inside me has been waiting to ignite
And tonight it came through
Here on the twelfth night of me writing this album
I feel like Hatsuharu cause first I'm black then I'm white
But wait, I think I see some light
Yo she took me to her church on a Wednesday night
Hey, I'm thinking things may be alright
If I can just turn my life around
Maybe then I'd sleep sound tonight
But yo I can still feel this pain!

[Verse 2: b-Rabbit]
This is just the way my story's begun
One by one I lost every last loved one
They say the world's a stage and we all play a character
If that's true, then why is my character such an animal?
I'm like a cannibal the way I react to something I see that I don't like
They hurt, and irk me, and make me mad
I snap and Travis comes out
The new Slim Shady, he ain't afraid of nothing
He'll diss anyone, he ain't bluffing
Ain't stunting, he really is a monster!
But Travis Smith is me, b-Rabbit is just a mask that I wear
So I can go out and spit some rhymes, look haters in the eyes and say that I don't care
But nothing I can do to take any of this away
I strayed away from God, decided I was too cool to pray
I went out, made some mistakes, started listening to rap
Died my hair and never once looked back
But through it all nothing changed cause I'm still just another...
