Linkin Park is an American rock band from Agoura Hills, California. Formed in 1996, the band rose to international fame with their debut album, Hybrid Theory, which was certified Diamond by the RIAA in 2005 and multi-platinum in several other countries. Its following studio album, Meteora, continued the band's success, topping the Billboard 200 album chart in 2003, and was followed by extensive touring and charity work around the world. In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth greatest band of the music video era and the third best of the new millennium behind Oasis and Coldplay.Billboard ranked Linkin Park No. 19 on the Best Artists of the Decade chart.
Having adapted the nu metal and rap metal genres to a radio-friendly yet densely layered style in Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the band explored other genres in their next studio album, Minutes to Midnight, which was released in 2007. The album topped the Billboard charts and had the third best debut week of any album that year. The band has collaborated with several other artists, most notably with rapper Jay-Z in their mashup EP Collision Course, and many others included on Reanimation. The band's most recent work, the concept album A Thousand Suns, was released on September 8, 2010. Linkin Park has sold over 50 million albums worldwide and has won two Grammy Awards.
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won’t last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
(You like to think you’re never wrong)
You have to act like you’re someone
(You have to act like you’re someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you’ve been through
(You live what you’ve learned)
You love the things I say I’ll do
The way I’ll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
(You like to think you’re never wrong)
You have to act like you’re someone
(You have to act like you’re someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you’ve been through
You live what you’ve learned
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won’t last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame (frame)
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
(You) You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast

You like to think you’re never wrong

My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
Standing alone with no direction
How did I fall so far behind?
Why Am I searching for perfection?
Knowing it's something I won't find
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
I run
Till the silence splits me open
I run
Till it puts me underground
Till I have no breath
And no roads left but one
When did I lose my sense of purpose?
Can I regain what's lost inside?
Why do I feel like I deserve this?
Why does my pain look like my pride?
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
I let myself down
In my fear and flaws
I run
Till the silence splits me open
I run
Till it puts me underground
Till I have no breath
And no roads left but one
No roads left but one
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
I run
And the silence splits me open
I run
And it puts me underground
But there's no regret
Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise?
Replaced freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and fiends
Abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived
You will pay for what you've done!
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced!
Thieves and hypocrites!
Thieves and hypocrites!
Thieves and hypocrites!
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
No more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
Your time has come to be replaced
Waking in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the heck is
Wrong with me?
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for hope somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the heck is
Wrong with me?
God!
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my ******* misery!
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the heck is
Wrong with me?
There are no lyrics for session. It is an instrumental track.
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you back in the sub black rewind that
We just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those
Who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
Called to you so clearly but you don?t want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
And everything left?s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else?s more
I?m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it?s better I can?t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
I'll never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
Called to you so clearly but you don?t want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood sweat 'n' tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood sweat 'n' tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Heart full of pain
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
Called to you so clearly but you don?t want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody?s listening)
Head full of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody?s listening)
Uphill struggle, blood sweat n tears
(Nobody?s listening)
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
(Nobody?s listening)
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can?t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but
I can?t pretend this is the way it?ll stay I?m just
(Lying to bend the truth)
I can?t pretend I?m who you want me to be, so I?m
(Lying my way from you)
No no, turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no, turning back now
(Let me take back my life, I?d rather be all alone)
No, turning back now
(Anywhere on my own 'cause I can see)
No no, turning back now
(The very worst part of you is me)
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk for who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin? in
And now you think this person really is me and I?m
(Trying to bend the truth)
'Cause the more I push the more I?m pulling away 'cause I?m
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life, I?d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own 'cause I can see)
No no, turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is me)
This isn?t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this, this isn?t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this, this isn?t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this, this isn?t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
(You)
No, turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no, turning back now
(Let me take back my life I?d rather be all alone)
No, turning back now
(Anywhere on my own 'cause I can see)
No no, turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(Instrumental)
Come on
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold and the static
And I put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I’m pretending to be where I’m not anymore
A little taste of hipocrisy
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant
And I can’t bring you back
It’s true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me
I’m with you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong
I pretend that the past isn’t real
I’m trapped in this memory
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant
And I can’t bring you back
It’s true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me
I’m with you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
No, I won’t let you control my fate
While I’m holding the weight of the world on my conscience
No, I won’t just sit here and wait
While you weighing options
You’re making a fool of me
No, you didn’t dare try to say that you don’t care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
No, it ain’t like me to beg on my knees
Oh, please, oh, baby, please
That’s not how I’m doing things
No, I’m not upset
No, I’m not angry
I know love is love,
Love and sometimes it pains me
With or without you
I’ll always be with you
You’ll never forget me
I’m keeping you with me
No, I won’t let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn it and torture my soul
No, I’m not your puppet
And, no, no, no, I won’t let you go
No, no matter how far we’ve come
I can’t wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we’ve come, I
I can’t wait to see tomorrow
With you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see

Hey, Mike, what’s up?
This is Ron, Riff Raff, just asking you what’s happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if you’re going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
Because he’s got my keyboard that I’ve been trying to get back
I’ve been trying to call him and he hasn’t been returning any messages
Gra-
Graffiti sky
I dont think you're all ready
Yo, I dont think you're all ready
Graffit decorations
Under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension
Still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten
In spite of all I've learned
Now, I find myself in question
Point, point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point, point the finger at me again
I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway)
I want to know the truth (I want to know the truth)
I want to know the answers (I want to know the answers)
I want to shut the door
And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
Paperbags and angry voices
Under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension
Wont seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
Point, point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point, point the finger at me again
I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway)
I want to know the truth (I want to know the truth)
I want to know the answers (I want to know the answers)
I want to shut the door

Uh, ya'll not ready
Hey, yo
I don’t think y’all ready for what I’m about to do
All you new-skool dudes ain’t even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zue Lue
Cool Herc and Jazzy J.
They paved the way
Let me spit it for y’all who said I wasn’t going to make it
Every time I blaze it, y’all the first to hate it
My team reigns supreme to stay strong
Got the true series, son
They scared to put us on
Can’t get with hybrids
Get off your hiatus
To many y’all’s dying for it
So, I got to blaze it
Still ripping BK, Brooklyn, B and on
Hell-fighting family, aliennation
Banging hits in the backyard while LP’s on
I’m a little communicate
Phoenix Orion
I want to runaway (I want to runaway)
I want to know the truth (I want to know the truth)
I want to know the answers (I want to know the answers)
I want to shut the door
And open up my mind (and open up my mind)

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
(And I)
Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed
(And I)
Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that

Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed
(And I)
Take back all the things that I said to you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need

Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed

Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that

I'd like to introdu—
We here
We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio-weapons system
Let's
Let's try
Let's try something else
Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight
Break it down
Calling all freaks
Using the waves of sound
The true master paralyzes his opponent
Leaving him vulnerable to attack
Mister Hahn
Crawling in my skin
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
Consuming, confusing
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
There’s something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Crawling in my skin
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real
There’s something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control
I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting
How I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Sometimes
Hybrid
I’ve been digging into crates
Ever since I was living in space
Before the ratrace
Before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology
And Big Bang theology
Performed lobotomies
With telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic
So I could start blessing it
Chin-checking kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double-helixes
To show them what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg-braces
Cast a spell of instrumentalness on all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity
Let icons be bygones
I fire bomb
Ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved onto a promise
I stomp s**t with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage
Coming at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Akira
I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfied my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood-type’s Krylon, Technicolour Type-A
On highways, right with road-rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things
Sing songs, karaoke, copy, bulls**t
Break bones verbally with sticks-and-stones tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away
With the pencil, pistol, official, sixteen-line-a-rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah, blah, blah
You can say you saw
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage
Coming at you from every side

This is the unforgettable sound

Bringing you up and taking you down

Who’s the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man’s bolder than the Pharoahe when he jams
The plan’s over
I inflict sclerosis
The most ferocious
Why I spy, my third eye, extremely high voltage
That’s why I need Ruby Quartz glasses
’Cause when I glance there’s a chance I might blast the masses
Subliminals trasmitted through piano
Integrated in flow
Calculated to nano
I use skills when I need
Please head the rhyme I hear when I plead when I proceed through time
I walk through walls an inanimate obsticles
Via induced reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge
You swallow the state
That’s a hologram
I box your head
Fatten your lip like Collogen
A telepath to deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda

we're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
a manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
and as the rain drips acidic questions around me
i block out the sight of the powers that be
duck away into the darkness, times up
i wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
so tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
and the eyes ease open and it's dark again
from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core, I'm forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me
by why should I care
in the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up...
listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
and nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
watchin the wheels of cars that pass I look past
to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
a window grows and captures the eye
and cries out yellow light as it passes me by
and a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
the same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
and while the insides change, the box stays the same
and the figure inside could bear anybody's name
the memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
someday I'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
that this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core, I'm forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me
I'm here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
dedicated to urban dysfunctional to offspring
what's happening? city governments are eternally napping
trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
some hearts be blacker than charcoal
for real, this society's deprivation depends
not on outer differences, but the separation within
no preparation is made, limited age, and minimum wage
livin in a tenement cage for innocent pay
tragedy within a parade,
the darkness overspread like permanent plague,
I'm forgotten
in the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up...
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
We're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
And nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watchin the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
While the insides change, the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday I'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
I'm here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What's happened
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society's deprivation depends not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited age, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like permanent plauge
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
One thing I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme when I was obsessed with time
All I know
Time was just slippin' away
And I watched it count down till the end of the day
Watched it watched me and the words that I say
The echo of the clock rhythm in my vines
I know I didn't look out below when I watched the time go right out the window
Try to grab hold, tried not to watch
I wasted it all on while my hands' on the clock
But in the end no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end (or the start)
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time that I tried so hard (hard, hard, hard)
And I got so far
but in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
but in the end it doesn't even matter
Aiyyo One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try (hard you try)
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, ha! I socialize like the host of a party
spoke, shake and made eye contact, party that toast all format
North-east, south-west coast
I stand out the window, no opportunity ta mend though
I tried sole them (?)
I brought you back to the things
Like an imaginary man of your dreams
Who'd seem to make it worth it
A pig skin? I never nerfed it
(?)
By any means, it means I'm leaving your team
Follow the team, baby it seems I've tried so hard.
[Chorus]
Linkin Park (Remix) with Motion Man,
Linkin Park (In The End) and Kutmaster Kurt (x2).
One thing I don't know how
It doesn't even while you look at it now
Cuz when I designed this rhyme
I was scared of it all, scared to fall
And haven't even try to crawl
And I was forced to run
Wit'chu mockin me, stopping me, backstabbing me constantly
Constantly remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock chalk, mock, full of hypocrisy
And now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing that you said that could make things fail
Every single word you sputted just to get your piece
But it really doensn't matter to me
Cuz from the start till the end no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end from the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time that I trid so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even mater
In the eeeeennnnnddddd...
What do I do to ignore whats behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself
MYSELF! I ask why
but in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself
MYSELF! I ask why
but in my mind I find
I cant rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give into fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By Myself
MYSELF! I ask why
but in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself
MYSELF! I ask why
but in my mind I find
I cant rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think
I've lost so much
I'm always afraid
That I'm out of touch
How do you expect
I will know what to do
When all I know
Is what you tell me to
Don't you
KNOW
I can't tell you how to make it
No matter what I do how hard I
I can't seem to convince myself
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you
KNOW
I can't tell you how to make it
No matter what I do how hard I
I can't seem to convince myself
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure from with...
Riding with a head full of bodies are red
And when this X is still stuck in my head
But misled doing the things I do would make you never wanna come back
But an all front attack, so you could never run from that
Being trapped in this beau, some that I never wanted to do
But through it all you've got to see that what I want to be
Is over the pen again letting it out of me
In the center of the day in the dream, seeing all my thoughts
Getting lost in between, realizing one that the way to the sea
And the killing and again are in the head with the screams
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You'll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
We're gonna be crushed when it all falls apart
Going in the hollow, hoping that you won't know
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done
And consequently I've run away, just hitting again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Want me to say this, but you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos being tossed around
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the head again in my confine
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You'll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
GO AWAY
Try to take the best of me, go away
Try to take the best of me, go away
Try to take the best of me, go away
Try to take the best of me, go AWAY
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You'll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut up (next words are mumbled, might be shut up again)
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the head again in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the head in my confine
(feat. Black Thought)

Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I’m about to br—
Wasn’t that fun?
Let’s try something else
Forty-five caliber killa
but out of the philla-dela-realla
show yall brothas how you not a guerilla
Smooth talking, fully automatic weapon concealer
Taste thriller, break thriller
Let’s hit ’em with the bounce filler
Filthy stinking, standing on solid ground
And still be sinking, submerging in the parks
Still be linking, plucked beef when it starts
To fuck your thinking, it’s not a mirage
I’m in the motherfucking tractor, yo, from out the garage
With an if, you to duck, but it’s hard to dodge
In the back of the spine where my darts is lodged,
Going to flip it straight up, ripping apart your squad
X-ecutioner style, cuts and blends like a syringe
Hanging you from each of your limbs
See me coming through the party hard without no bodyguard
Smoking something, stomping on each of you Tims
I’m the B-to-the-L, the A, the C, King
And when it comes to planning
The thought to keep thinking, man
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
"Victimized"[Shinoda:]
No regret for the confidence betrayed
No more hiding in shadow
Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid
Time has come for you[Chester:][Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2][Shinoda:]
Their acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give them
As the sound comes higher on this violent rhythm
These snakes in the grass, supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's in em
Keep 'em waiting in the shadows there, thinking they hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get em
Go on already, hit em! You gotta be kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim, Imma put you there with 'em![Chester:][Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2]
I’m stan teri maa ka bhosda madatrchod ddle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Yo, y’all better wake up; you think we don’t see y’all drifting?
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position? (position)
Sit straight and listen; what you are missing
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
No indecision, I spit right
Heavy as a fist fight
No gloves and no masks
No pain and no slack
No way to look back
Nobody to say I can’t make my own path
Cause the way that y’all act, I wanna break something
Comin’ at me like the pain I feel means nothing
Comin’ from a place where you can’t relate
Where every word from your face comes across as fake
And I can hardly take, the way that y’all treat us
Sending this out to anyone who won’t believe us
Spelling it out so y’all know the deal
And if you can’t feel it, maybe you can’t feel
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you saying?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writing?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
Tell ‘em, Motion
Eat your words
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
My conversation’s stacked, I switch my defense on you
Every time you want to get deep you’ll see my knuckle package
Born to die, ferocious emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
It moves, I’m strangling as I’m swinging as main mangler
I wanna dee-four, poach you as your seafood is C4
I’m gonna rap and you still knee-high
Y’all wanna train with me, guy?
Man, it’s destructive
Man, it’s like jabs from boxing champ Lennox
Perfect for your head, I’ll fit it like New Era hats
That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
Express myself with my hang-side
Then I extend one finger, the middle to fucking all crouds
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
Yo, Motion (yeah?)
Sometimes I feel it’s like nothing that I ever do's ever good enough (for real)
Like I should stop and go back to L.A.
Back away where I know I won’t be seen
And nobody’s gonna critique the music that I make
And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
Rapping on a track just to make a buck
For a mix-tape that sucks
And DJ's that don’t get it
But I been down that road and I know
People don’t wanna go where I might go
Don’t wanna know what it’s like
To step outside your zone with a mike
Just controlling the hype
And if we need to take shots from them
And be stopped by them just to meet these ends
Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
I’m gonna spit ‘til I got none left
Motion, where you at?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
I want to pick up the pieces, so that
There's less complication, so that
There's less conversation, and
Less aggravation
I want to go out alone, man, so that
There's less confrontation, and man,
There's less association, and
Less company, yeah
I was so frustrated, man, that
I was all confused, man, and that
I was disillusioned, and
sick of your friends
(Chorus)
Run, don't walk my way
Don't look my way
Cause I don't care, oh, no
So why are you still here
Why don't you disappear
And spin out of my life, oh
Why do we have limitation, and man
Why do we have limitation, so that
We don't get very far, and so that
We don't climb very high
I can't handle the indecision, and
I can't watch no more television, and
I won't miss you when you're gone
Cause I know my life will go on
You take
You take
Away
Away
Why does it feel like
Night today today toady today today today
Somethind in here's not right
Today today today today today today
Why does it feel like
Night today today today today today today
Paranoia is all i got
Left left left left left left
You take
You take
Away
Away
This is fun
Did that sound good
I will be waiting
With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
Which I have foretold
He raises his arms tied
Above the abyss
Singing his sweet song
His melody opens up the sun
Freedom raid
God has come
Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
She sleeps with her eyes closed
To dream of the past
Her mind has gone blind now
While the memory closes up this sun
Freedom rain
God has come
Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
[yeah]
I will be waiting
With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I?m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I?ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I?ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it?s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I?m close to something real
I wanna find something I?ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I?ve got nothing to say
I can?t believe I didn?t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it?s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
?Cause I can?t justify way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I?ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it?s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I?m close to something real
I wanna find something I?ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I?ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it?s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I?m close to something real
I wanna find something I?ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I am somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I am somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
ahhhhhhhhhh!
i hate you so much right now!
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is powerful
confusing what is real
oh-oh-oh
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
(beneath the surface)
consuming
(consuming)
confusing
(confusing)
this lack of self-control i've found so overwhelming
(so overwhelming)
i can't seem to find the strength within
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that/
there's just too much pressure to take)
i've felt this way before
so insecure...
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is powerful
confusing what is real
oh-oh-oh
discomfort endlessly has laid itself upon me
(itself upon me)
distracting
(distracting)
reacting
against my will i stand beside my own reflection
(my own reflection)
it's haunting
(it's haunting)
how i can't seem
to find the strength within
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that/
there's just too much pressure to take)
i've felt this way before
so insecure...
raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement
and drip from the blacktop into the basement
traces of the rain pervade this
to erase your hate and take this from the fakeness

This song's about jellyfish
And their barely fish
Ain't no fooly-fish
I don't drooly-fish
Goes like this
Jelly, jelly, jellyfish
When you squeeze me I go squish
Peanut butter jellyfish
Put me on-a your sandwich
The jelly, jelly jellyfish
When you squeeze me I go squish
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
My friends are fish and they go to school
They think I'm crazy and they think I'm cool
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
Jelly, jelly jellyfish
When you squeeze me I go squish
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
Got no eyes and I got no head
I got no house and I got no bed
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
Jellyfish
In the end, there was nothing to say.
I can't look for any other way.
This feeling is takin over day by day.
Don't tell me if your right cause this
is the last time you;ll even see the light.
chorus: Open your eyes, open your heart
cause we'll never break apart. Keep it or
use it for an ending that fits. Nothing is here
so theres nothing to fear.
This sucks that this is not working
cause all your doin is twerking. Like
all them other people you talk too much
and your not even in a bunch. Looking every
where and nothings here. With you it's a nightmare.
In my mind all I see is you actually fair.
No I've done this to you too much
that I can't take it anymore. My heart
is poor and sore without you and you
just walking up that pew with only few.
Take this and I will no where and say
this OPEN YOUR EYES!
Melted candles on the window sill
Perfume in the haze
Ashtrays spread across the floor
On a normal day
We lay out across the bed
Just like we always did
And in this house
The devil laid his hand on our head
and made them spin
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
No more defenses
Like no more peace of mind
Keeping in these knives stabbing
Your circling, your circling, you're circling, your circling your head.
Contemplating everything you ever said.
Now I see the truth, I got a doubt.
I get the motive in your eyes and now I'm out, see you later.
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold.
See inside, inside of our heads.
Yeah. Er, well now that's over. It's over.
I see your motives inside, and your decisions in mind.
*Chorus*
WHOA!!!
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong,Headstrong, Headstrong.
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong.
I can't give everything away...
And I won't give everything away!
Conclusions manifest,
Your first impression's got to be your very best,
I see you're full of $hit and that's all right,
It's how you play and guess who gets there every night,
Well now that's over...
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold.
See inside, inside of our heads.
Yeah. Er, well now that's over. It's over.
I see your motives inside, and your decisions in mind.
*Chorus*
WHOA!!!
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong,Headstrong, Headstrong.
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong.
I can't give everything away...
And I won't give everything away!
I know, I don't wanna hurt you.
I know, I don't wanna hurt you.
see your motives inside, and your decisions in mind.
*Chorus*
WHOA!!!
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong,Headstrong, Headstrong.
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong.
I can't give everything away...
The sky opens wide
swallowing again
once I am insinde
I'm lost and can't pretend
these pictures in my mind
are not a part of me
these memories hold me tight
'til I can hardly breathe
(breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe)
I can hardly breathe
(breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe)
I can hardly stop the memories
nothing I can say or do
will take away what I've been through
what you were is what I've come to be
nothing you can say to me
will take away these memories
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control, I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just
Too much pressure to take
I felt this way before, so insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting, how I can't seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just
Too much pressure to take
I felt this way before, so insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing what is real
This lack of self control, I fear is never ending
What’s up?
You’ve reached Mike
Give me a detailed m—
Please enter your pass—
First message
Yo, Mike
This is Chali 2na, w’sup, man?
I’m just trying to catch up with you, man,
so we can go ahead and get this song on the roll, with a pot-n-a-d
Take me down to the river bend,
Take me down to the fighting end,
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the siren sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below
(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see
Bring me home in blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again
(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else I need to be
(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see
Buck buck buck-buck-buck, buck-buck buck buck!
All rude bwoy lissen up!
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people, we all gonna drop
You don't even get, paid a whole lot
So take your M-60 and put it 'pon lock!
Take your four-five and you put it 'pon lock!
Lookin for your people when you walk down a block
Here in America you have drug spot
They get the black cop, to watch the drug spot
The black drug dealer just avoid black cop
They're killin each other on a East Coast block
Killin each other on a West Coast block
White police, don't give a care about dat
Dem want us killin each other over crack
Anyway you put it it's a black on BLACK
Black cop black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
Thirty years, there were no black cops
You couldn't even run, drive round the block
Recently police trained black cop
To stand on the corner, and take gunshot
This type of warfare isn't new or a shock
It's black on black crime again nonSTOP
Black cop!! Black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
"Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker comin into my face..
Don't be the sucker.."
Here's what the West and the East have in common
Both have black cops in cars profilin
Hardcore kids in the West got stress
In the East we are chased by the same black beast
The black cop is the only real obstacle
Black slave turned black cop is not logical
But very psychological, haven't you heard?
It's the BLACK COP killin black kids in Johannesburg
Whassup black cop, yo, whassup?!
Your authorization says shoot your nation
You wanna uphold the law, what could you do to me?
The same law dissed the whole black community
You can't play both sides of the fence
1993 mad kids are gettin tense
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people we all gonna drop
You don't even get, paid a whole lot
Take your four-five and you put it 'pon lock!
Take your M-60 and put it 'pon lock!
Take your uzi, put it 'pon lock!
Black cop black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
"Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't.. don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't-don't
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't, don't-don't
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't!
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
U might as well quit while your at it
U aint going no where
I feel so hollow inside
And it’s all your fault
You’re the cause of all this pain
Now I’m left here dying
U think u can beat me
It’s never gonna happen
U wanna reach the end
It’s never gonna happen
Do what u wanna do
It aint gonna happen
I wont let u do this
Not anymore
Ur so vindictive
U always have been
I regret the day I met u, I saw u
Now u don’t even remember me
I’m just the voice in your head
Screaming, crying
And telling you……
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
He's gotta mike
He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
He's from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe
So, fuck critics, you can kiss our whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics, you can press fast forward
Beef with radio, if we don't play they show
They don't play out hits, we don't give a shit, so
All these mags try and use our ass
So, advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads, fuckers
I don't know what you take us as
Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
From rags to riches, nigga, we ain't dumb
We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
And the year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In the rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
I got two choices ya'll, pull over the car or
Bounce on the Devil, put the pedal to the floor
Now, I ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus, I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
So, I pull over to the side of the road
I heard, "Son, do you know what I'm stoppin you for?"
'Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low
Do I look like a mind reader, Sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
You was doin' fifty five in a fifty four
License and registration and step out of the car
Are you carryin' a weapon on you? I know alot of you are
Well, I ain't steppin' out of shit, all my papers legit
But do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?
Well, my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And I know my rights, so, you gon' need a warrant for that
Aren't you sharp as a tack, get me some type of lawyer or some
Somebody important or somethin'?
Ha, I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
We'll see how smart you are when the K-9's come
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Now, once upon a time, not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin' a pussy
But a pussy havin' no goddamn sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him 'cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type, loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is I'ma get to clappin'
He and his boys gon' be yappin' to the captain
And there I go traped in the kit, kat again
Back through the system with the riff, raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin' again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin' them
D A tried to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail 'cause I'm African
All because this fool was harrasin' them
Tryin' to play the boy like he's saccarin
But ain't nothin' sweet 'bout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems, being a bitch ain't one
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I'm about to break
(Everything you say to me)
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
(I need a little room to breathe)
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
(Everything you say to me)
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
(I need a little room to breathe)
I ordered a frapuccino
Where is my fuckin' frapuccino?
All right let's do this
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay I'm just
Trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm
Lying my way from
If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get that dirt off your shoulder
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force
Tryin' to hustle some things that go with the Porsche
Feelin' no remorse, feelin' like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, nigga grip'n my balls
All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin'
All the ballers is bouncin' they like the way I be leanin'
All the rappers be hatin', off the track that I'm makin'
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots
Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block
I can run it back nigga 'cause I'm straight with the Roc, c?mon
If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin' to get me a Rover
Tryin' to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yes sir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin'
Now fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin'
With a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a balla for real, cheea
Yeah, I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin' in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
Trying to bend the truth
But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cuz I'm
Lying my way from you
No, no turning back now
I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cuz I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
You, no turning back now
I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cuz I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
Uh, uh, jigga what?
Uh, uh, jigga who?
Uh, uh, jigga what?
Uh, uh, jigga who?
Uh, uh, jigga what?
You gon' need a vocal in, right?
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit 'em up, numerous
Shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots wanna talk to po-po's, smoke 'em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload, fuck dat
On the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshit, glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin' shocked when the fool hit
Hey ma, how you, know niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna fuck for free like Akinyele
Here, this ride feel it inside your belly
If it's tight get the K Y jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side 'til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
I am a little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So, I let go, watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
Got a condo with nuttin' but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So, all I do is rap sex, imagine how I stroke
See, how I was flowin' on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin' a tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin' 'n' shit 'cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin' raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoes, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, 'cause your majesty, just happened to be
A pimp with a tragedy
She wanted us to end 'cause I fucked with friends
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, ?Shit?
There's a draft, shut the door, bitch, and come on in
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am what you never wanna say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So, I let go watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
(I can't feel)
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
(Time won't heal)
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
No, hear me out now, you're gonna listen to me
Like it or not, right now
Hear me out now, you're gonna listen to me
Like it or not, right now
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
(I can't feel)
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
(Time won't heal)
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
(I can't feel)
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
(Time won't heal)
Don't turn your back on me
Wonderful
(featuring Scott Weiland)
If I were to die this mornin'
Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have?
Would you be my navigator?
Would you take me to a place we could hide?
As I'm fallin' out
I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on
Know I'll be waitin' here alone
I wanna ask you to forgive me
I haven't been the best with all that I had
Wish I'd only laid beside you
I think I spread myself a little too thin
As I'm fadin' out
I don't feel anything at all
Think I'm movin' on
Know you'll be safe but not alone
You're the everything
That led me to believe,
"Hold on, hold on"
You're the wonder in everything
That's wonderful

hideing in a sea of lies,

she's gone, what is left of me without you (how can i obsess without you)
SHE'S GONE!!!!! (without you)
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static/And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake/Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant/And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor/The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake/Slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant/And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
With you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
No matter how far we’ve come
I cant wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we’ve come
I cant wait to see tomorrow
With you
You now I see keeping everything inside
With you
You now I see even when I close my eyes
With you
You now I see keeping everything inside
With you
You now I see even when I close my eyes
Caught up against the wall again
Tied to a chain and a ball again
I never seem to amaze in minds
So just I sleep sleep sleep
please don´t...
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Cut and bruised by the fall again
Lick my wounds like a dog again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don´t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
I´m so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I´m
awake and alive alive alive alive
and not dreamin
Caught up against the wall again
Tied to a chain and a ball again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don´t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
And I´m so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I´m
awake and alive alive alive alive
And not dreamin
Wait & Bleed
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander over where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
Goodbye!
I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong...
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander over where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS!
Why I didn't I see this?
I'm a victim - SINNED-BY-JUST
Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander over where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
GOODBYE!
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
AND IT WAITS FOR YOU!
System
System
System
You fell away
What more can I say?
The feeling's evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
To a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I should pay
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry
Keep on trying, I'm not done so easily
(I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
(I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
(I will not die)
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
Part of me won' go away
Everyday reminded me how much I hated
Waiting against concequences
Can't let you down I'm so senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life '
Wash out all the burnt
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low cuz it's part of me
New cuts cover where the old ones are
I'm sick of this
I can't stand the sand paper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I'd rather not even be the man that got stirred in the Mercury
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myslef free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel the swell up inside
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
It can be frightining If you never felt it
Once it spills out
You feel like touched by somthing angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Rewrite the book of parts
You know you're wrong
I feel the calm when the problems are all gone
And you start to see
A little peice of yourself that you can't let be
A reason why you strike out for yourself
Take it to the depths at the bottom of the well
You know you can choose to loose the part of
Your heart where your race start to bruise
You can live it
Willing to put a stop to whats just killing you
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myslef free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel the swell up inside
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
Every time I look around I see how everything ought to be
Everytime I see myself there's always somthing wrong with me
Every time I look around I see how everything ought to be
Every time I see myself there's always something wrong with me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel the swell up inside
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
I feel the swell up inside
Swell upinside swallowing me
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
Swell up inside sawllowing me
(take away whats never been given to me)
love me
hate me
(take away whats never been given to me)
love me
hate me
(take away whats never been given to me)
one time(tick..tick..tick)
one day i when to your house
i dont know what i was looking for
i was not ready for what was in-store
the tub your face the water in you on you
life takes form me again
fate takes we blame we hate the misstakes
we dont own we take use and disown
throw away ourselfs in the maze
spy on the haze
pain like waves in me
this is not the real me
(take away whats never been given to me)
love me
hate me
(take away whats never been given to me)
love me
hate me
(take away whats never been given to me)
free yourself
free yourself
free yourself
Rock N' Roll!
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Allright, thats enough of that sh*t
Wow!
That was just..
Do you guys wanna practice that somemore right here. or should we play another song?
That was just for love, that was just for love because they are here
Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang bangin' in your boombox
Verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an MC
With your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines
And rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
'Cause rock and hip-hop been collaboratin' for years
But now they're getting randomly mixed-and-matched up
All after a fast buck
And all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of it's real
You wanna be an MC you gotta study the skill
Chorus:
who can rock a rhyme like this?
bring it to you every time like this
who can rock a rhyme like this?
step, step up, step, step up
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
It sounded like the only hip-hop you heard was Top 40 (Top 40)
And your record company's completely missin' it
And all the kids are dissin' it for not bein' legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal backflips
Get your ass kicked with a fabulous battle catalyst
It's taken decades for MCs to establish this
You're new to hip-hop
And welcome if your serious
But not on the mic - leave that to the experienced
Using waves of sound, the true master paralyzes his opponent,
Leaving him vulnerable to attack
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
After years of painstaking research
By the world's leading sound scientists
We here at the Sound Institute have invented
A reliable audio weapons system.
Actual movement of musical sound in space is
Used to carefully attack
And neutralize the cellular structure of the human body
The question must be asked...
(Chorus)

There's no way to find out what's inside you
Until you fall into the hole
You dug for yourself while you slept here
Too young, too selfish, too cold
And when you find out what's been waiting
The moment you open your eyes
You'll see your true reflection
The very first time in your life
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You do what you've always done best
You run
Into the hole you fall deeper
Deeper the faster you run
It won't stop until you've accepted
Accept everything that you've done
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You do what you've always done best
You run
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it
Yo, y’all better wake up; you think we don’t see y’all drifting?
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position? (position)
Sit straight and listen; what you are missing
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
No indecision, I spit right
Heavy as a fist fight
No gloves and no masks
No pain and no slack
No way to look back
Nobody to say I can’t make my own path
Cause the way that y’all act, I wanna break something
Comin’ at me like the pain I feel means nothing
Comin’ from a place where you can’t relate
Where every word from your face comes across as fake
And I can hardly take the way that y’all treat us
Sending this out to anyone who won’t believe us
Spelling it out so y’all know the deal
And if you can’t feel it, maybe you can’t feel
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you saying?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writing?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
Tell ‘em, Motion
Eat your words
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
My conversation’s stacked, I switch my defense on you
Every time you want to get deep you’ll see my knuckle package
Born to die, ferocious emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
It moves, I’m strangling as I’m swinging as main mangler
I wanna dee-four, poach you as your seafood is cee-four
I’m gonna rap and you still knee-high
Y’all wanna train with me, guy?
Man, it’s destructive
Man, it’s like jabs from boxing champ Lennox
Perfect for your head, I’ll fit it like New Era hats
That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
Express myself with my hang-side
Then I extend one finger, the middle fucking
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
Yo, Motion (yeah?)
Sometimes I feel it’s like nothing that I ever do is ever good enough (for real)
Like I should stop and go back to L.A.
Back away where I know I won’t be seen
And nobody’s gonna critique the music that I make
And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
Rapping on a track just to make a buck
For a mix-tape that sucks
And dee-jays that don’t get it
But I been down that road and I know
People don’t wanna go where I might go
Don’t wanna know what it’s like
To step outside your zone with a mike
Just controlling the hype
And if we need to take shots from them
And be stopped by them just to make these ends
Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
I’m gonna spit ‘til I got none left
Motion, where you at?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it

I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn’t fall right down on my face

Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind

Why do i have the negativity?
‘Cause I can justify the way everyone is looking at me

Looking up and down only to find
That it’s not the way I had expected it up here in my mind

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
it goes
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody’s listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody’s listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobody’s listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody’s listening)
Coming at you from every side
I know you love me as you can, uh huh
I know you thinking of me when, uh huh
When I leave you, when I need you…
I am with you, you are my heart an ya my life.
I wasn't right yesterday
But don't tell me another way
You say: “It will following day'
Excuse I bring you a pray! Pray, pray, pray
Sorry I've a few feelings, I am void
Don't think that I vile villain,
Don't do with me disdain
Sorry I am immoral wall, I avoid.
Oh oh oh keep a secret of our love,
This love was flying dove,
It goes away from us.
We missed our days, alas!
Don't try my life improve,
Don't try you argue prove,
Don't live an another day,
Don't live another way.
Oooo I am your folly!
Don't try my life improve,
Don't try you argue prove,
Don't live an another day,
Don't live another way.
Oooo I am your folly!
Graffiti skys, skys...
I don't think ya'll ready
Yo, I don't think ya'll ready
Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of gray
This constant apprehension
Still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten
In spite of all I've learned
Now I find myself in question
Point, point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point, point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the answers
I wanna know the answers
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
And open up my mind
And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of gray
This constant apprehension
Won't seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
Point, point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point, point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the answers
I wanna know the answers
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
And open up my mind
And open up my mind
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway...
Uh, ya'll not ready
Hey yo
I don't think you're ready
For what I'm about to do
Ya'll new school dudes
Ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz djs
They paved the way
Let me spit it to y'all
Who said I wasn't gonna make it
Everytime I blaze it
Ya'll the first to hate it
My team really keep supreme
Stay strong
Got the two series son
They scared to put us on
Can't get with the hybrids
Get off your hiatus
Too many of y'all is dying for us
So I gotta blaze it
Still repping BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family alienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the Lp song
I'm a new communicate
Named Phoenix Orion
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the answers
I wanna know the answers
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
And open up my mind
And open up my mind
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends, dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking through the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon a world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open and it’s dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
Crys out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the chain
The brains lose not knowing they were part of the game
And the insides go but the box stays the same
And shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
But when the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I’m seein' right through you
(repeat x7)
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
(In a minute you'll find me)
(Eyes burn me up)
(You say you'll never forget me)
(But the lies keep piling up)
Forfeit the game
Before somebody takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face you can't run the race
The pace is too fast you just wont last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away when I give in
My life, My pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
(You live what you learn)
You have to act like you’re someone
(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you’ve been through
(You live what you learn)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, My pride is broken

Matilda Brown told ole' King Tut
Say if you can't pay me five, just keep your big mouth shut
Shoutin'

Hey! Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)
Ye-es, your baby knows
Momma's on the chair, Poppa's on the cot
Baby's on the floor blowin' his natural top
Sayin'
Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop (Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop)

Ye-e-es,. my baby knows
the microphone molester / machete undresser
"stupid-dope-fresh" type shit resurrector
top gun / miramar / best of the best-er
the leave-an-MC-peace-in-rest-er
skill tester / the flex-the-gunner
the make-funner / the adversary make runner
make summer cold with rhymes i spit
kick gift to lifted delinquent wit
I be the prophet / my rhyme--top it? stop it.
fly like rocket when I rock it
lock it down with this perverse verse
every fuckin' curse a burst of hurt
move crowds: physical fitness rhymes
coke heads couldn't do my lines
I'm decorated like christmas pines
my battalion rocks
MCs become silhouettes of chalk
Chorus:
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days
hit the dirt because the words I spit will
do more than just rip your shirt
I'll bitch slap your soul
contact the track control
you coming at me? you can't hack it though
so ridiculous
watching my crew get sick of this
wickedness
pitchin' this
lyrical viciousness to crews and cliques
made of men and mistresses
this is my life
the twilight in the fight night
and trying to see nothing but the highlights
when I write
these eyes on horizons
die for my song
cry rhymes in krylon
fire on / move men telekenetically
esoterically beat-speaking with clarity
feel my verity / heroism of heresy
and sever every MC I see with severity
Chorus
why not what i came (3x)
Why not give me what I came to deserve
Why not give me what I came to believe (2x)

I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
'Til they came to take what I had left away
You said you wouldn't put me to the test today
But I remember you saying that yesterday
There was a time when your mind wasn't out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow so it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home
And like that
Broken down
A victim of your plight
Fire so out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
And like that
Broken down
A victim of you lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You crossed the line
Wrapped up inside your
Lies
You hide behind
Lies
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies
I don't know what I thought I might say
Seems like we never would talk the right way
Every other minute I fought for my place
And drop what I made thought you might say so
I'm guessing that you probably know
When your inside's hollow and you want to be cold
Like a pill hard to swallow so it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home
And like that
Broken down
A victim of your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You crossed the line
Wrapped inside your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies
You're faking, you're mistaken
If you think that you could climb out of this hole
Forsaken, what would take me?
Analyzing by the power of your soul
Broken down, a victim of your
Faking, you're mistaken
If you think that you could climb out of this hole
Broken down, a victim of your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You hide behind
Lies

Wrapped up inside your lies

I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I watch how the moon
Sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn't give the light to the moon
Assuming the moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me
About things that you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest.
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna.....(fades out)
Two, Two, Three, Three, Yo, Yo, Yo
Keep me in the john to keep me calm
You and your mom keep on dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flopped that bomb when you dropped that bomb
Take it the john your babylon
Flush down with the sound that you carry on
I don't really give a damn
You pissed on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk
Now the battle's on
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't we gonna bump get it up get crunk
Sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't we gonna bump get it up get crunk
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me / go away

Uh, yeah
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed/but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
Face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that I watch every time I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
Hey yo
Here we go again with the pain I feel
Is it real or in my mind
When I found myself in places
With names
But not faces
My memory races
At speeds
Hundred degrees
My soul bleed
Devil must of planted the seed
Now it feels
Like my back's against the wall
I'm taking the fall
Whenever I call
Nobody's responding at all
But I don't know who I can trust
They screaming my name
I need somebody
To help me out of the flame
All I'm trying to do is just master me
All I wanna do is smoke a blast a beat
But something keeps talking to me consciously
Responsibly
Keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn
Everything has something for ya
That voice inside of your head
Got to project it
Paranoia
Cold sweat
Shining on your face
Exposing your purpose
And if I
Ripped off your skin
I'd probably find another person
There's nothing worse
Than trying to pull yourself up
Back from the dead
So I advise you
Listen to that voice
In the back of your head
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
It's like i'm paranoid
I feel the light betray me
The sun...can't stop..
(Mike Shinoda)
Why does it feel like night today
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
or how the pressure was fed but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is here in me right beneath my skin
(Chorus Chester,Mike and Serj)
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin
(Serj Tankian)
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes in me
You got a face the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what sets me off
but I know what I can stand
Everybody has infact the matter is
I can't add up to what you can
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches everytime they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And it watches everything)
So it's no doubt when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is watching you too right inside your skin
(Chorus Chester,Mike and Serj)
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin
(a face inside is right beneath your skin
a face inside is right beneath your skin
a face inside is right beneath your skin)
(Chester and Serj)
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
(Chorus Chester, Mike and Serj)
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin
(Serj Tankian)
I know this one thing that you probably don't know
My paranoia could go into anybody's souls
(Chester and Serj)
So screeeeeeeam!
There are no lyrics for opening.
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
In a place so dark you can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
I'm in connections with the final act you came here for
The one deriative you manage is the one i abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone
The everyday bull---- things that you have done
Your impossible ego ----
Is like a megolomaniacal tab on my tounge
You ----ing touch me I will rip you apart
Reach in and take a bite out of the ---- you call a heart
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
We stood upon the edge
Eyes fixed in the sky
Just before twilight
Claimed the lights
Wind carried voices
Over the waters
From a whisper
Into a scream
We got this one night to make it real
For tomorrow is too far from here
The words that we cast
Into eternity
They still echo in my ears
And in my dreams
So meet me tonight
In the place that time forgot
And take with you
All that you can't leave behind
We got this one night to make it real
For tomorrow is too far from here
Headlights open
The road ahead
They can't light up the sky
But they can light our way
We got this one night to make it real
Finally recover
When the mood is right
Looking up into a neon sky
Time the mean takes over
Guess it's been too long
Since the last time that I tried to fly
[Chorus:]
Finally I find
When I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy
For my broken soul
Inside my body crumbles
Only needs a moment
Just to get away
Hope the stress won't mess up every day
No one final question
And I never doubt
Everything is gonna be okay
[Chorus]
Insecure would be my sign
(I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright)
I'll never have to hide
(I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright)
Try to live right
(I don't know if I'll be alright, Now I know it's)
It's alright
Finally I find
When I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy
For my broken soul
Inside my body
[Chorus]
woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static/and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I’m pretending to be who I’m not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake/slow to react
So even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant/and I can’t bring you back
Chorus:
It’s true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me
I’m with you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor/the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn’t real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake/slow to react
So Even though you’re close to me
You’re still so distant that I can’t bring you back
[Chorus]
With you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With You
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With You
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes (x2)

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said to you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
These are my snow-covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I
Take back all the things that I said to you
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

I'm in connections with the final act you came here for
The one deriative you manage is the one i abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone
The everyday bull---- things that you have done
Your impossible ego ----
Is like a megolomaniacal tab on my tounge
You ----ing touch me I will rip you apart
Reach in and take a bite out of the ---- you call a heart
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I'm not a perfect person
Because in my life, many things didin't go to do
And then in the future, i go to have my price
i go to pay by ,my mistakes
but i think that the life is very injust
ans i must to find another way
what i must to do
To change this life
TELL ME
why this life is so bad
will i be just go have a piece in the hel
to burn
But now i think that i already have
A soluction for my problem
but, i have to continue to fight
and never desisit...

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things I said to you)
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things that I said to you)
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Give it all away
Just to have somewheree to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
Give it all away
Just to have somwhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
My December
This is my December,
This is my time of the year,
This is my december,
This is all so clear.
This is my December,
This is my snowcovered home,
This is my December,
This is me alone.
[Chorus]
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that )
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to you )
And I...,
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to,
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
This is my December,
These are my snowcovered dreams,
This is me pretending,
This is all I need.
[Chorus]
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that )
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to you )
And I...,
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to,
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
This is my december,
This is my time of the year,
This is my decemeber,
This is all so clear.
(2x)
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to,
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray
(Chorus)
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing, losing
It came up from the deepest sea
God gave it life and reason to be
His Shadow rose above the highest tree
And still his face we could not see
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
What to I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I trust something with my phoniness?
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can’t hold on when I’m stretched somethin’
I made the right moves, but I’ve lost within
You always must to hurt me in
You’re blind to see I love you
By Yourself!
Pre Chorus:
How do you think?
I’ve lost so much
So afraid, I’m out of touch,
How do you expect?
I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to!
Chorus:
Once I’ve ran to you, I’ve ran, now I run from you
This Tainted love you give me, I took it as UNRETURNED
Take my tears and go to hell!
Why, why, why don’t you try to love me?
Unreturned Love, love, love…

when i pretend
everything is what i want it to be
i look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
when i pretend
i can forget about the criminal i am
stealing second after second just cause i know i can / but
i can't pretend this is the way it will stay / i'm just
trying to bend the truth
i can't pretend i'm who you want me to be
so i'm
lying my way from you
[no / no turning back now]
i wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
[no / no turning back now]
let me take back my life
i'd rather be all alone
[no turning back now]
anywhere on my own
cause i can see
[no / no turning back now]
the very worst part of you
is me
i remember what they taught to me
remember condescending talk of who i ought to be
remember listening to all of that and this again
so i pretended up a person who was fitting in
and now you think this person really is me and i'm
[trying to bend the truth]
but the more i push
the more i'm pulling away
'cause i'm
lying my way from you
[no / no turning back now]
i wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
[no / no turning back now]
let me take back my life
i'd rather be all alone
[no turning back now]
anywhere on my own
cause i can see
[no / no turning back now]
the very worst part of you
the very worst part of you
is me
this isn't what i wanted to be
i never thought that what i said
would have you running from me
like this
this isn't what i wanted to be
i never thought that what i said
would have you running from me
like this
this isn't what i wanted to be
i never thought that what i said
would have you running from me
like this
this isn't what i wanted to be
i never thought that what i said
would have you running from me
like this
[no turning back now]
i wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
[no / no turning back now]
let me take back my life
i'd rather be all alone
[no turning back now]
anywhere on my own
cause i can see
[no / no turning back now]
the very worst part of you
the very worst part of you
is me
R u aware of what u make me feel
Baby
Right now i feel invisible to u
Like im not real
Didnt u feel me lock my arms around u
Why'd u turn away
Heres what i have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
Thats when i decided
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there when i was scared
I was so alone
U, ya need to listen
Im starting to trip
Im losing my grip
And im in this thing alone
Am i just some chic u placed beside u
To take somebody's place
When u turn around
Can u reconize my face
U used to love me
U used to hug me
But that wasnt the case
Everything wasnt ok
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
Thats when i decided
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there when i was scared
I was so alone
U, ya need to listen
Im starting to trip
Im losing my grip
And im in this thing alone
Crying out loud
Im crying out loud
Crying out loud
Im crying out loud
Open ur eyes
Open up wide
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there
When i was scared
I was so alone
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there
When i was scared
I was so alone
Why should i care
If u don't care
Then i dont care
We're not going anywhere
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I am
A little bit insecure
A little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I've known faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind we let it all slip away
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind we let it all slip away
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I Wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no oh no
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Oh no oh no
I've lied to you,
The same way that I always do,
This is the last smile,
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you.
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down.)
The sacrifice of hiding in our lives,
(Everything has to end,
you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all
unwind.)
The sacrifice is never knowing...
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried, like you,
To do everything you wanted to.
This is the last time,
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you.
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down.)
The sacrifice of hiding in our lives,
(Everything has to end,
you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all

The sacrifice is never knowing...
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
(We’re all out of time,
This is how we find it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in our lives,
(We’re all out of time,
This is how we find it all unwinds)
The sacrifice is never knowing,
Why I never walked away
Why a played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why a played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Pushes me away…
Crawling in my skin/(wounds)
will not heal!
fear is how/(i)
fall!
confusing
consuming
what is reeal!
This innocence has pulled it's shadow upon me
disorienting
tormenting
this lack of self control i feel is never ending
its daunting
how i cant seem
(to find)
the strength within
the doors are caving in
(Without a sense of confidence and im convinced its just to discreet to fail)
i've felt this way before
so inse--
(cure cure cure cure)
Crawling (in my skin)
These wounds they will not heal
feeling like ill fall
consuming
confusing what i feel!
The rain falls in the soil
the seeds grow from to a coil
everything with a root must fall
and so its counting down the time
cause its coming down
the rain cant stop the endless thoughts of destiny saught
nothing more than what we can take
but everything more than what we can give
(I've felt this way before...)
but everything that we cant feel
(so insecure)
the strength within
(i cant find a plan)
the enemy is true
it's all coming down
(to this)
there cant be anymore
this is the ENNNNNNNNNNNNNND!!!
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
FEAR IS HOW I FALL
CONFUSING CONSUMING
WHAT IS
(real real real real real real reeeeeeeee)
(static)
I scream through the morning
I'm kicking the twilight as she comes
Time waits ever dawning
Spooning the thickness out and feeding our open mouths
The price you pay is always
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Time waits ever dawning
When you're
Following the animals around (around)
I scream through the morning
Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness out
The price you pay is always
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
My eyes are weary now
My eyes (my eyes) are weary
My eyes are weary now
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Karma Killer, Karma Killer, Karma Killer
Will I ever miss you (...)
Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
Hey, hey, hey bartender, hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bobble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby, I'll be the quarter back
High get the tail back, watchin all the play back
Jaw smash, now heating now rambo
Up in the hands all, biting on the cannibal
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Hey bartender, hit me with another
I'm just about how to kill this brother
I'm lookin for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the beauty baby, I'll be the beast
Who give a fucker, take it to the bedroom
Take it to the streets, take it like a man
Mother fucker, yo bitch chose me, mother fucker
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Take me there, take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
Ladies don't trust me tonight
Take me there, take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
No you can't trust me tonight
Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
There ain't nothing sweeter, there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I've received keeps me strong,
it keeps me moving on
I just want your company,
I want you to comfort me,
Just come with me (moving on)
I just want your company,
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
I just want your company,
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Comfort me, just come with me
Comfort me, just come with me
Jane says
I'm done with sergio
He treats me like a ragdoll
She hides
The television
Says 'i don't owe him nothing,
But if he comes back again
Tell him to wait right here for me or,
Try again tomorrow'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
Jane says
'Have you seen my wig around?
I feel naked without it'
She knows
They all want her to go
But that's ok man
She don't like them anyway
Jane says
'I'm going away to spain when i get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
'I'm gonna kick tomorrow...'
She gets mad
And she starts to cry
Takes a swing but she can't hit!
She don't mean no harm
She just don't know...
What else to do about it
Jane goes
To the store at eight
She walks up on st. andrews
She waits
And gets her dinner there
She pulls her dinner
From her pocket
Jane says
'I've never been in love - no'
She don't know what it is
She only knows if someone wants her
'I only want 'em if they want me,...'
'I only know they want me...'
Jane says...
Jane says...
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Hip-Hop hits
And you do it like this
It's going down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futuresque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress
With special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage
It's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
It's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
Once again it is
Composed sentences all together venomous
The four elements of natural force
Projected daily through the sound of the source
Everybody on board with this blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest of weapons
Swinging right from the chin
The elevate of mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Stance emulation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of the pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We advance in steadily
It's going down to sub-terrestrial high
I rhyme regiment that's calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
It's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now, it's going down
It's going down
It's going down
X-men 'bout to blast off world wide
X-men 'bout to blast off world wide
Can you do it like this
'Bout to blast off world wide
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Watch them flee

Put it up
Said it goes like this
And you do it like this
Put it up
Said it goes like this
And you do it like this
it starts with one
and multiplies 'til you can taste the sun
and burned by the sky you tried to take it from,
but if it falls there's no place to run
crumbling down, its so unreal
their dealing you in to determine your end
and sending you back again the places you've been
and bending your will 'til it breaks you within
and still they fill their eyes with the twilight
through the skylight and the highlights on a frame of steel
see the brightness of your likeness as i write this
on a pad with the way i feel
hear the screaming in my dreaming
as its seeming that you played your part
like your heartless take a part this in the darkness
but i know that I've tried to hard and got so far
but in the end it doesn't even matter
i had to fall to lose it all but in the end it doesn't even matter
i looked out of line and what's there is not what ought to be
held back by the battles they fought for me
calling me to be part of their property
and now i see that i get no chance i get no break
fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
and as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
i can only hope that they close their eyes
to the twilight through the skylight
and the highlight on a frame of steel
see the brightness of your likeness
as i write this on a pad with the way i feel
hear the screaming in my dreaming
as its seeming that you played your part
like your heartless take apart this in the darkness
but i know that I've tried so hard and got so far
but in the end it doesn't even matter
i had to fall to lose it all
but in the end it doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you pushed as far as i can i go
for all this there's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you pushed as far as i can go
for all this there's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you pushed as far as i can go
for all this there's only one thing you should know
I've tried so hard and got so far
but in the end it doesn't even matter
i had to fall to lose it all
but in the end it doesnt even matter
[It starts with one]
And multiplies till you can taste the sun
And burn by the sky, you try to take it from
But if it falls
There's no place to run
It's crumbling down and
[It's so unreal]
They're dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again to places you've been
And bending your will
Till it breaks you within
And still they
[Fill their eyes]
With the twilight through the sky light and the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness as I write this on a pad
[To the way I feel]
Am I screaming?
Am I dreaming?
As it seeming that you played your part
Like your heartless take apart
This in the darkness but i know that
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
As I made up my mind
On what there is not are to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now I see that I
[Get no chance]
I get no break
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tight rope within
Slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they
[Close their eyes]
To the twilight, through the sky light and the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness as I write this on a pad
[To the way I feel]
Am I screaming?
Am I dreaming?
As it seeming that you played your part
Like your heartless take apart
This in the darkness but I know that
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
{I put my trust in you}
{Pushed as far as I can go}
{For all this}
{There's only one thing you should know}
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
[It starts with one]
One thing, I don't know why,
is how come when I left you I
didn't say good-bye.
I kept that in mind, then I finally
realized that I left the best thing behind.
[All I know]
is that wasting time isn't the thing,
to make the guilt go away
but yet the pendulum swings.
I watch time count down to
the end of the day
but guilt doesn't go that way.
[It's so unreal]
I look deep down below,
hoping that's where all the pain will go.
I'm trying to ignore it, but all my mind shows,
is illusions of the time I
[I watched you go]
I keep all the pain inside,
and even though I don't try,
I hope it falls apart.
What you mean to me,
will hopefully,
not be a part me, but yet:
Chorus:
I tryed so hard, and got so far,
but in the end; it doesn't even matter.
I had to fall, to lose it all,
but in the end; it doesn't even matter.
One thing, I don't know why,
is how come when I left you,
I didn't say good-bye.
I try to reject you from my mind,
but still I think that I left the best thing behind.
(and I)[Tryed so hard]
I still remember how much you mocked me,
you still think I'm part of your property.
I'm surprised I remember all the times
you fought with me.
All these memories have
[Got so far]
Now things aren't the way the were before.
You can't even recognize me anymore.
I still remember how you were back then
but it still doesn't relate to how you'll be
[In the end]
I keep all the pain inside,
and even though I don't try,
I hope it falls apart.
What you mean to me,
will hopefully,
not be a part me, but yet:
Chorus Plays
I used to believe that you,
were the one, and it even showed.
After all this, I'll tell you how I feel
cause you should know (x2)
Chorus Plays
it starts with one
One thing
I don't know why it doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
in the end
you kept everything inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
All alone inside

When this began
I had nothing to say and I’d get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find that I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancies the words reveled is the only real thing I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck hollowing alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
(Chorus)
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never rear
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pains and it’s gone)
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong
And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
It’s not the way I had imagined it
All in my mind
(So what am I)
So what do I have but negativity
Cause I cant justify the way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain
Hollowing alone
The fault is my own, and the fault is my own
Chorus
I will never know myself
Until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else
Until my bones are healed
I will never be anything
Until I break away from me
I will break away
And find myself today
Chorus x2
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame (frame)
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
(You) You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned
Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain
Hoping I can find
What we never had
Never holding you
It makes me
(Bridge)
100% is where it lies
Behind the tide
Inside the ocean
Inside your ocean
Frozen is the present past, oh
Made of stone, but breaks like glass, so
Take me now to where I want to go
Thoughts astray but who will know
(Chorus)
In a dream it seems
Just to hold my hand
Shaking the release
Stop me,
Stop me if you can
Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain
Hoping I can find
What we never had
Never holding you
It makes me
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
There were just too many times people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I’m not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
But i've had too many stand-offs with you, its about as much as I can stand
So I’ll wait until the upper hand is mine
And then you're a rockstar
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
And then you're a rockstar
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
So many people like me that put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned of what you think, to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like i'm not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you've cross the line
What goes up will surely fall, and i'm counting down the time
Cause i've had so many stand-offs with you, its about as much as I can stand
So i'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
And then you're a rockstar
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
And then you're a rockstar
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
Now it’s all gone
I know i'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
And then you're a rockstar
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
And then you're a rockstar
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it’s all gone
Now it’s all gone
There were just too many times people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I'm not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down

Little impotent minds,
You promised me hope,
you promised me piece of mind,
now I'm all alone crying some tears,
that I wouldn't even think that could eva appear,
and now I'm all alone in the darkness full of minds,
that only tease, and never think of the pain thats inside...
(Chourus)
All alone I'm heartless,
with you I had a soul,
I cry my tears and now I'm
leaving you alone...
alone...
I gave you everything I owned
I gave you life when you promised to disown,
lies, diceets, all that I thought I knew
I punched you
a debt that I'll never forget
all emcees know it
but why don't you bitch
why don't you
on the mountops I'm working hard
to show you that i'm a man with some arms
arms
arms
(Chrous)
WHY! WHY! I PROMISED! WHY!
(Chrous)x9
some rap
Sometimes...
You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night
Hybrid
I’ve been diggin into crakes ever since I was livin in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and big bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
Chorus:
High Voltage
The unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Akira: I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's Krylon- Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw
Chorus (2x)
who's the man,
the man in your hand over your land rover,
no man's born with a farrow when he jams your plan's over,
i am fistsclerosis,
the most ferocious,
when i spy my third eye's extremely high voltage,
that's why i need ruby quartz glasses,
caz when i glance at the chance that i might blast the masses,
subliminals transmitted through piano,
integrated in flow,
calculated in nano,
i use skills when i need PC's to rhyme,
i hear when i plead when i proceed through time,
i walk through walls and inanimate obsticles,
rhyme news in a reduction of cells and molecules,
i bring the knowledge juice,
swallow a steak that's the hollagram,
i box your head, fatten your lip like colligen,
the telepath deliver verses with no postage,
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda, we high voltage
Chorus (2x)

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain all alone
Something has been taken
From deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could
Stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave
I would
Sometimes I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go
And never looking back
There would never be a past
Just washing it aside
All the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change
It's easier to run
Replacing the pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You can get it, If you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You wont forget, If you ever had it
So your better off just leave it alone
She drove in with her aligator sister
Tryin to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it, if you ever had it
So you better off just leave it alone.
And the dogs came in just to see her smile(just to see her smile)
And the dogs came in just to see you smile(JUST TO SEE U SMILE)
You dont get it, No you wont forget
So you better off just leave it alone
If you dont stop thinking, soon you will be drinking
and your better off just staying at home
She drove in with her aligator sister
Tryin to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it, if you ever had it
So you better off just leave it alone.
And the dogs came in just to see her smile(just to see her smile)
And the dogs came in just to see you smile(JUST TO SEE U TRY)
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
She drove in with her alligator sister(Repeated in background)
Trying to get to heaven on a sunday
You'll never get, if you ever had it
So your better off just leave it alone(Repeated)
Coming Down
I'm Still Healing
Coming Down
I'm Still Breathing
Coming Down
1..2..3..4
You can get it, if you really want
But your better off just leave it alone
You wont forget it, if you ever had it
So your better off just staying at home
She drove in with her alligator sister
Trying to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it if you ever had it
So your better off just leave it alone

(YELLING)
always fucking everything up and screaming constantly
youve gone too far and now youve been fucked by me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(REPEAT 2 MORE TIMES)
(CHORUS AND YELLING AT THE SAME TIME TWICE)
i don't know who to trust
no surprise
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts sift through dust
and the lies
trying not to break
but i'm so tired of this deceit
every time i try to make myself
get back up on my feet
all i ever think about is this
all the tiring time between
and how
trying to put my trust in you
just takes so much out of me
i take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
cause i swear / for the last time
i won't trust myself with you
tension is building inside
steadily
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts forcing their way
out of me
i won't trust myself with you
i won't waste myself on you
waste myself on you
Feeling up my shirt, these wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall, confusing what is real
There's something inside you
That pulls beneath the ocean
Consuming, consuming
This lack of control
I fear is ending
Controlling, I can't seem
To find myself again, my walls aren't closing in
(Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, your insecure
Feeling up my shirt, these wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall, confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure
Feeling up my shirt, these wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall, confusing what is real
Feeling up my shirt, these wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall, confusing, confusing what is real
(There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface, consuming)
Confusing what is real
(This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling)
Confusing what is rea--------l
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do will distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say
Put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize, instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it part of me
It never goes away
It never goes away
And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here
You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear
I can't seperate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you
Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin'
I'd see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was commited myself to them
And every day I regret sayin' those things 'cause now I see
That I took what I hated and made it a part of me
It never goes away
It never goes away
And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here
You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear
I can't seperate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you
It never goes away
It never goes away
It never goes away
It never goes away
Get away from me, gimme my space back
You gotta just go
Everything comes down to memories of you
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know
I've let you go, so get away from me
Get away from me, gimme my space back
You gotta just go
Everything comes down to memories of you
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know
I've let you go, so get away from me
And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here
You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear
I can't seperate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
[Verse 1 - Mike]
I am
A little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
A handful of complaints
But I can't help the fact that everyone can see these scars
I am
What I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you to just believe this is real
So I let go watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
[Chorus - Chester]
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
[Verse 2 - Mike]
I am
A little bit insecure
A little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So I let go watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
[Chorus - Chester]
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Hear me out now!
You're gonna listen to me like it or not!
Right now!
Hear me out now!
You're going to listen to me like it or not!
Right now!
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored...!
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel..
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal...
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Riding with a head full of pockets of red
And what I said still stuck in my head
But misled
Thinking the things I do would make you never wanna come back
But an all front attacks, you could never run from that
Being trapped in this with you, something that I never wanted to do
But through it all you've got to see that where I want to be
Is over the pen again letting it out of me
In the center of the day in the dream, seeing all my thoughts
Getting lost in between, realizing one, not the way that it seems
And the killing and the killer with a head full of screams
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(start seeing it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
We're gonna be crushed when it all falls apart
Knowing no matter how low, hoping that you won't know
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done
And consequently I've run away, just hidden again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Don't want me to say this, but you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos being tossed around
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(start seeing it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
GO AWAY!
Try to take the best of me
go away!
Try to take the best of me
go away!
Try to take the best of me
go away!
Try to take the best of me
go away!
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(start seeing it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut... up... QUIET!!!
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine
Don't Stay /time= 3:07
Sometimes I Need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I Need you to stay AWAY FROM ME
Sometimes I'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I Need you to go
Chorus:
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself and
Don't saty
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilites
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself and
Don't stay
Sometimes I
Feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I
Just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need you to be alone
Chorus:
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back an
Don't stay
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away
With no apologies
Chorus:
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Don't stay x2
[Mike Shinoda]
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay I'm just
(trying to bend the truth)
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm
(Lying my way from you)
[Chorus: Jay-Z]
If you feelin like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
[Verse One]
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force
Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, nigga grip'n my balls
All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots
Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block
I can run it back nigga cause I'm straight with the Roc
[Chorus]
[Chorus Two]
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
[Verse Two]
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover
Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin
Now fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin
with a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real
[Mike Shinoda & Chester]
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin' in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
(Trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cuz I'm
[Chorus]
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is ME)
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
[Chorus]
(You)
No turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is me)
Chester:
I love her!
I love her!
I love her!
Everybody know that!
Sometimes the music is part of me
And it plays when it is in
Sometimes the music has part of me
And it is keeping me up all night!
Mike:
You love her, you need her
You trust her, she betrayed you
She hate you, she trick you
You lied to her and she lied to you.
You lied to her and she lied to you.
You lied to her and she lied to you.
Lied to you…Marija
Joe:
Can’t you see, she never loved you?Slavisha?
Chester:
Sometimes when music starts playing into my sad world
I try to figure out something, something but, but it
Keeping me confusing
I cannot stand your fucking personality
I no wanna be your enemy
But you left me nothing but that.
And that’s why I keep on wondering: “ Did she ever, did she ever loved me?”.
I have a dream of a scene between the green hills
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
People don't talk about keeping it real
It's understood that they actually will
And intoxicated and stimulated emcees
Staring in the trees, paranoid, or caught in the breeze
Watch them flee, hip-hop heads
Take a walk with me and what you'll see
Is a land where the sand is made up of crushed up wax
And the sky beyond you is krylon blue
And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme
And emcees have left materialism behind them
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
And hope me and my team make it through alright
Because say what you will, and say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night
(start CHORUS)
Because this is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to where the music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same old scene
And dedicated to the people advanced in the game
What's real is the kids who know that something's wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
(end CHORUS)
I've seen a lot of shit, I've talked to a bum
Out on sunset strip, he asked me "How would you feel
If everybody acted like you didn't exist
You'd lose your grip, probably eventually flip."
So let it be known, the only reason that we do this
So that you can pick it up and just bang your head to it
While emcees fight to see who can be the commonist
Be floatin overhead like a space odyssey monolith
Over seeing the game, over being part of the same old thing
It's all gonna change in a hurricane of darkness and pain
And acidic rain and promises that you won't do it again
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
And hope me and my team make it through alright
Because say what you will, and say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for at the end of the night
(repeat CHORUS)
Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide
Pulling me close, the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home, this is my place to hide
(repeat CHORUS)
This is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to where the music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same old scene
And dedicated to the people advanced in the game
What's real, everybody who doesn't feel safe
What's real, everybody who knows they're out of place
What's real, anybody with nowhere to run
Who hides in the shadows waiting for the sun

She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight, and staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long

When it comes to how to live his life
He can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reins
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel
Until he makes it stop
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
I'm too weak to face me
He can only fool himself

Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you

What do i do to ignore whats behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams and give into sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do i, let it go and try to stand it? Or do i try to catch them red-handed?
Do i trust some and get fooled by phoniness? or do i trust none and live life in lonelyness?
The sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men.
I make the right turns but i'm lost within
I but on my daily forsob but then, i just end up getting hurt again by myelf
Chorus
MYSELF
(i ask why)
But in my mind if I
(i can't rely on myself)
MYSELF
(I ask why)
but in my mind if i
(i can't rely on myself)
I can't hold on
(to what i want when i'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
Without the failure sinking in
When i turn my back, i'm defenseless
And to give in to fait seems senseless
if i hide my pride and let it all go on
then they'll take from me till everything is gone
If I, let them go i'll be outdone
But If i, try to catch them i'll be outrun
If i'm killed by the questions like a cancer,
Then i'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself
Chorus
How do you think, that i've lost so much?
I'm always afraid, that i'm out of touch
How do you expect, that i will know what to do?
When all I know, is what you tell me to?
Don't you
(KNOW)
I can't tell you how to make it
(RIGHT)
But i do know how hard I
(TRY)
but can't seem to convince myself
(WHY)
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you
(KNOW)
I can't tell you how to make it
(RIGHT)
But i do know how hard I
(TRY)
but can't seem to convince myself
(WHY)
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on
(to what i want when i'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
Without the failure sinking in
I can't hold on
(to what i want when i'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(to anything watching everything spin)
Without the failure from within
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I
(Chorus)
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know (2x)
(Chorus)
Every day I wake up
The sun rains down on me
But this one seems so different
It's black as day instead
Yeah!
Broken glass
In time I'll pass, from here I swear I'm scared
Broken glass
And blood red snow, escapes from quicksand never lasting
I must have done something wrong again
Face the walls and hold him in
It's not how life's supposed to be
I've cried as many years as me
Yeah!
Broken glass
And blood red snow, my finger tips are scrapped
Broken glass
In time I'll pass, escapes from quicksand never lasting...
Yeah!
Broken glass
In time I'll pass, from here I swear I hate
Broken glass
I'm running fast, no more bruised I can't look back, I hated
Yeah, yeah...
Sleep,
In the shadows,
Breathe,
In the air
Without dreaming
Without a care, oh
Look,
In the mirror
Cry,
No control
I've got a fever
I've got my whole, oh
(Chorus)
I tried to believe it
Tried to receive it
With eyes of power
Will you deceive me, oh
Crawl,
Up to the clouds
Claw,
Your way out
I want to be there
I want to move on, oh
(Chorus)
I ran like a coward
Far from this place
Show me desire
Show me disgrace
Believe me

I don't know why I am here listening to you anymore
I can't explain how I feel anymore
Do you even love me anymore
{CHORUS}There is something crawling in the back of my head
saying why do I take this anymore
there is something wrong and I can't take it any more x2
Can you tell me why I am here hearing things in the back of my head
listning to things I have never heard before
things I thoght I never would hear I guess thing aren't the same anymore
{CHORUS}
verse 1
i still cant find,the colour of your eyez
as if you were blind,too early for goodbyes
i`d stick with you,through world war 3
i`d write to you,to see how you`ve been
pre chorus
would it mean anything if i cried
would it faze you if i died
chorus
come back to me , one last time
was it meant to be , i know we`d lie
verse 2
i`d kill for you,to leave this town
so far gone,no one but ourselves
so i fucked up,and killed something great
i`m outta luck and outta things to say
pre chorus
would you notice if i left
i wonder about the memorys you kept
chorus 2x
bridge
erase the memory , straight from your heart
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture’s there
The memory won’t escape me
We’re stuck in a place so dark
You can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight and the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness
Times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut so tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open
And it’s dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture’s there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care?
In the memory you’ll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound
Dizzy from the ups and downs
I’m nauseated by the polluted rock that’s all around
Watching the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rock with anntenaes on top, now
Nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change
The box stays the same and the figure inside could bear anybody’s name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday I’m hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
Yo, from the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture’s there
The memory won’t escape me
I’m here at this podium talking
The ceremonial offerings dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspinrg
What’s happening?
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants
Causing urban collapse
And bullets that scar souls with dark holes
Get more than your car stole, some parts be blacker than charcole, for real
This society’s deprivation depends now on our differences but the separation within
No preparation is made
Limited aid, minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like a permenent plague
I’m the forgotten
In the memory you’ll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
well i thought i new you
thinkin that you were true guess i
couldnt trust called your bluff time is uo cuz ive had enough

I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head...
I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors and then rapidly you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known that you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
We're all gonna be crushed when it all apart
Ruin another high low
Hoping that you won't know the strain it puts to me
See what you've done, and consequently
I’ve run away, Just hidden again
Within the boundaries of the nameless
Don’t mean to say this, but your dragging me down
Lost in the chaos, being tossed around
Singing within to myself
Head full of hectic
Hope that someday I’ll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Addict to the panic, in my confines
Singing within to myself
Head full of hectic
Hope that someday I’ll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Addict to the panic, in my confines
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You’ll see it’s not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna...
Two, Two, Three, Three, Yo, Yo, Yo
Keep me in the john to keep me calm
You and your mom keep on dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flopped that bomb when you dropped that bomb
Take it the john your Babylon
Flush down with the sound that you carry on
I don't really give a damn
You pissed on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk
Now the battle's on
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't we gonna bump get it up get crunk
Sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't we gonna bump get it up get crunk
Riding’ with a head full of bodies of red
And when I said its still stuck in my head, but mislead
Thinking the things I do would make you never wanna come back
Running’ on thumb tacks, you could never run from that
Being trapped in this view, something that I never wanted to do
Went through all you’ve got to see, to where I want to be
Is over the pen again, letting it out of me
In the center of the day in the dream
Seeing all my thoughts getting lost in between
Realize want not the weight of the scene
From the killing of the killer, with a head full of screams
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You’ll see it’s not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
GO AWAY
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me
GO...
YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY
YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY
YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY
YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
GET...
A...
WAY...
I am so sick of the tension(GET...)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this(A...)
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
Sick of the tension
Sick of the a hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
Sick of the tension (WAY...)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed(GET AWAY FROM ME)
While I find a place to rest
Looked in the ocean,
Looked in the sea,
Found her laughing,
Watching for me,
Left the door open,
Left the door wide,
(unintelligible),
Kept it inside.
(Nonsense rapping)
Don't trust if you don't then you're fightin' for what?
Fightin' for a place,
We can call home.
Lookin' for a way,
Not be alone.
I'm fightin' for a place,
We can call home.
Lookin' for a way,
Not to be alone,
Not to be alone.
Duh nuh nuh,
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,
Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.
Duh nuh nuh,
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,
Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.
Duh nuh nuh,
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,
Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.
Duh nuh nuh,
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh,
Nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.
Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuhuhh.
Fightin' for a place,
We can call home.
Lookin' for a way,
Not be alone.
I'm fightin' for a place,
We can call home.
Lookin' for a way,
Not to be alone,
You look down to me,
cause I'm apology.
But you cannot see,
Woman's wish is a wanna be.
Then it comes to you,
They wanted you
Wanted all to write
She is something you cannot tie.
Don't follow me,
Don't cover me.
just leave me be.
(Wanna be)
Don't try to change,
to something you aint.
Don't even try,
try to be me.
Why don't you see the irony.
Oh, you wanted to be me.
But I don't wanna be.
You wanna go away.
But I can't be out today.
I'll just be a run away.
Bounce around like a ricochet
I walk 100 miles,
And watch the time fly.
Don't need an alibi.
Can't follow me,
Can't comfort me.
Can't wanna be.
(Wanna be)
Don't try to change,
to something you aint.
Don't even try,
try to be me.
Why don't you see,
the irony of you.
Wanting to be me.
Wanna be, Wanna be, Wanna be, Wanna be,
Wanna be!...
Try to be me
Why don't you see the irony
oh you wanted to be me
try to be me
Why don't you see,
the irony
oh you wanted to be me,
When you feel you're alone, cut off from this cruel world
Your instincts telling you to run
Listen to your heart, those angel voices
They'll sing to you they'll be your guide back home
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
It keeps us kind
When you've suffered enough, and your spirit is breaking
You're growing desperate from the fight
Remember you're loved, and you always will be
This melody will bring you right back home
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
When life leaves us blind
Love keeps us kind
Ohhhhhh Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhhh Ohhhhhh!
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn't give the light to the moon
assuming,
The moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me,
About things that you want back from me
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe some day I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do
Run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
now you see how quiet it is all alone
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, GO AWAY
YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY, YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY, YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY, YOU TRY TO TAKE THE BEST OF ME
GO AWAY!!!!!!
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this

There's no way to find out what's inside you
Until you fall into the hole
You dug for yourself while you slept here
Too young, too selfish, too cold
And when you find out what's been waiting
The moment you open your eyes
You'll see your true reflection
The very first time in your life
You can not fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You can not fight what's in you
This will not be denied
Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You do what you've always done best
You run
Into the hole you fall deeper
Deeper the faster you run
It wont stop until you accept it
Accept everythng that you've done
You can not fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You can not fight what's in you
This will not be denied
Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You do what you've always done best
Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain
Hoping I can find
What we never had
Never holding you
It makes me
(Bridge)
100% is where it lies
Behind the tide
Inside the ocean
Inside your ocean
Frozen is the present past, oh
Made of stone, but breaks like glass, so
Take me now to where I want to go
Thoughts astray but who will know
(Chorus)
In a dream it seems
Just to hold my hand
Shaking the release
Stop me,
Stop me if you can
Endless hopes, well
That's too bad
Smile happy,
Enjoy my pain
Hoping I can find
What we never had
Never holding you
It makes me
(Bridge)
Let me tell you 'bout myself,
Some say I got a bad attitude,
Let me tell you 'bout myself,
Some say I got a lot to prove,
Let me tell you bout myself,
I'll do whatever you want,
I'll do what you ask me to,
I'll do what you tell me to do,
Strange love,
Be gone,
Be gone,
Gone
Let me tell you 'bout myself,
Some say I got a long way to go,
Some say I’m going straight down,
Some say there’s no where to go,
And this is what I say...
Yeah,yeah
Strange love,
Be gone,
Be gone
Strange love,
Be gone,
(Beatboxin over kazoo)
Hey yeah
You ain't gotsa gotsa
(Ow good god)
You ain't gotsa gotsa me
(Hey)
You ain't gotsa gotsa
(No uh!)
(I'll tell ya now)
You ain't gotsa gotsa me
(Ohhh)
You ain't gotsa tell me
What I gotsa do
You ain't gotsa gotsa me
Muf**ka fool
You ain't gotsa gotsa
You ain't gotsa gotsa me
You ain't gotsa gotsa tell me what you think
I say
You ain't gotsa gotsa
(Scatting) You aint gotsa gotsa me
You ain't gotsa gotsa gotsa gotsa gotsa me
I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight,
Because my conscience leaves me no other choice.
A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order and say of war:
This way of settling difference is not just.
This business of burning human beings with napalm,
Filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows,
Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane.
Of sending men home from the dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame
Nor a sane person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker
Lauryn said money change a situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said a Uzi weighs a mother fucking ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage in every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken Imma state that for the record
I am the opposite of whack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat
Synonym of crack, closest to a peak, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
Oh, when they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone
And all the people say
In the chill of the night
I can feel my heart racing
As I run towards a light
that seems so far away
Wondering forever
In the darkest of shadows
Wondering if I will ever see you again
Wondering if I will ever see you again
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take your desire
I'll take the world
when it turns on you
(when it turns on you)
I'll set it on fire
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)
Digging in the dirt
I can feel you're getting closer
Steadying my hands through the blistering pain
Anxiously awaiting for the earth to reveal you
Wondering if I will ever see you again (see you again)
Wondering if I will ever see you again
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take your desire
I'll take your heart
I'll take your pain
(I'll take your pain)
I'll bring you to life
I'll bring you to life
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)
I'll bring you to life
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take your desire
I'll take the world
when it turns on you
(it turns on you)
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take your desire
I'll take your heart
I'll take your pain
(I'll take your pain)
In this farewell
There?s no blood
There?s no alibi
?Cause I?ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I?ve done
I?ll face myself
To cross out what I?ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I?ve done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I?ve done
I?ll face myself
To cross out what I?ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I?ve done
For what I?ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I?m forgiving what I?ve done
I?ll face myself
To cross out what I?ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I?ve done
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
What I?ve done
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)
Forgiving what I?ve done
(Na-na na na)
(Na-na na na)

[Chester Bennington]
Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall
[Busta Rhymes:]
See ah niggas i survived the worst but my life is glorious
Betta know that i leaped every hurdle and i'm so victorious
Take a look, I'm a symbol of greatness now call a nigga Morpheus
As force securing the win and I believe I'm so notorious
You know that I've been buying my bread even though we rapping now (yes)
We use to live on the strip and you see a nigga higher level tramping now
Superceded everyone of my middle struggles and
Failure never ever has been an option
A nigga paper long like we was on the trap and we bout ta take the hood shoppin'
Get it!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes) *Mike Shinoda*
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (haha!)
And they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me) *yeah, yeah*
on the road (you come and get it) *yeah, yeah*
on the roooooooad *yeah, yeah, yeah, yo!*
[Mike Shinoda:]
When it all got started we was steadily just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothing we could do would ever get us respected
At best we were stressed and the worst they probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle just no way to connect it
And I was fighting through every rhyme tightening up every line
Never resting the question if I was out of my mind
And it finally came time to do it or let it die
So put the chips on the table and told 'em to let it ride
Sing it!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes)
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (haha!)
And they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me)
on the road (you come and get it)
on the roooooooad
[Busta Rhymes:]
Look in case you misunderstand exactly what I'm building
Shit that I could leave for my children (children) children (children)
Now I only wake up with a smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip to get the hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son
To counting money like Dre and Jimmy or Russell One
But now I live what I dream you see we finally did it
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how you did it
Sing it
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes)
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (haha!)
And they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me)
on the road (you come and get it)
Should I have a taste of this
Start and crush your nails
And start all over again
Could this all just be a dream
If I should fall to stormy weather
Wake Me, Wake Me
Yeah
Maybe this time I can do it all wrong
Without my foot in my mouth
Without that blind in my sight
Could this all just be a dream
If i should fall to stormy weather
Wake Me, Wake Me
Yeah
Oh, oh
Too scared to lose the one
I tried so hard for
Too scared to lose the one
I never had

Linkin Park Lead Singer: Yo

Verse 2 (2x)
March 9, 1997 L.A. California another 1-8-7 you were ready to die just like your album said so many playa haters that want to see you dead you took the
game of brooklyn and gave it to the whole world your whole life revolved

myth you was the legend i wonder if you and pac made peace in heaven
(chorus)4x

yo yo
(It starts with)
One, it multiplies till you can taste the sun,
and burn by the sky, you try to take it from
but if it falls, there's no place to run
crumbling down, it's (so unreal)
they're dealing you in to the term and your end,
and sending you back again, to places you've been
and bending your will, till it breaks you within
and still, they (fill their eyes)
with the twilight, through the skylight
end the highlights on a frame of steel
see the brightness, of your likeness, as I write this
on a path through (the way I feel)
hear the screaming, am I dreaming, as it's seeming
that you've played your part
like you're heartless, take apart this
in the darkness, but I know that
[chorus]
I've tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I broke down line once there is not what ought to be
held back by the battles they fought for me
calling me to be part of their property
and now I see that I (get no chance)
I get no breaks, fakes and snakes, quickly lead to mistakes
and now the tightrope within, slowly starts to thin
I could only hope that they (close their eyes)
with the twilight, through the skylight,
end the highlights, on a frame of steel
see the brightness, of your likeness, as I write this
on a path through (the way I feel)
hear the screaming, am I dreaming, as it's seeming
that you've played your part
like you're heartless, take apart this, in the darkness
but I know that
[chorus]
{I put my trust in you
pushed as far as I can go
for all this
there's only one thing you should know}x3
God save us everyone
Will we burn
inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
Sins of our father
Sins of our young
God save us everyone
Will we burn
inside the fires of a thousand suns?
For the sins of our hand
Sins of our tongue
Sins of our father
We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried.
Most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince
that he should do his duty, and to impress him,
takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'
it goes a one, two, three...
(i was born with) the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun
i don't need to sweat it when the competition come
original style like an 808 drum, so i don't run the track
no, i make the track run
my mama taught me words, my dad, he built rockets
i put 'em both together now, tell me what i got
it's a pretty smart weapon
i can shoot it, i can drop it
(but) learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it like that
yeah, it ain't over, 'cause the sharks on the left side, the snakes on the right
and anything you do, they wanna get a little bite
it really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
'cause once you get the teeth in, nothing really fights
except for me, i do it like i got nothing to lose
and you can run your mouth like you could try to fill my shoes
but steady little soldier, i ain't standing next to you
i'd be laying on the ground before you're even in my view
like that
give me the strength of the rising sun
give me the truth of the words unsung
and when the large bells ring, the poor men sing
“bring me to kingdom come”
this is something for your people on the block to/black out and rock to
give you whatcha need like papa/who shot ya
separate the weak from the obsolete, you're meek, i creep hard on imposters
and switch styles on the dime/quick witted ya'll/quit tripping
i don't have time for your crying
i grind tough, sucka, make your mind up
are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
bang bang/little monkey man playing
with the big guns will only get you slain and i ain't playing
i'm just saying / you ain't gotta sliver of a chance
i get iller, i deliver/while you quiver in your pants
so shake shake down/money, here's the break down
you can play the bank/i'ma play the bank take down
and no mistakes now/i'm coming to getcha
i'm just a banksy/you're a brainwash, get the picture?
it's like that
we swim against the rising waves
and crash against the shore
the body bends until it breaks
the early morning sings no more
so rest your head, it's time to sleep
and dream of what's in store
the body bends until it breaks
then sings again no more
'cause time has torn the flesh away
Today our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very
freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate,
and deadly, terrorist acts.
The jets, fuelled for cross country flights were filled
with tens of thousands of gallons of volitile fuel...
They were literally flying bombs.
OH MY GOD!!
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
A second airplane! a 727 just rammed into the building!
Oh another one just hit, something else just hit, a
very large plane (oh my) just flew directly over my
building.
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
consuming/confusing
Make no mistake, the United States will hunt down, and
punish those responsible for these cowardly acts.
One second after the sound started, there was gray
smoke and what looked to be, like confetti flying all
over the place...
The enormity of the situation today is just ... well it
was just incredible.
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem
to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that
there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure
In a matter of seconds, the skyscraper collapsed... And
was gone.
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
Half of the 400 firefighters that first reached the
scene, may be dead.
Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil,
despicable acts of terror.
10,000 people in each tower would typically be in there
on a normal business day, and we get about another
5,000 visitors during the course of the entire day, so
by 8.30 - 9.00 o'clock the building should have been
full.
Terrorism has been alive and well throughout the rest
of the world for a very very long time now, and you can
point to as many different places and its come to our
shores BIG TIME NOW, we need to understand that.
discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...
to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that
there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure
This is it, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, no!
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall

America was targeted for attack because we are the
brightest beacon for freedom, and opportunity in the
world, and noone will keep that light from shining.
This is one of the darkest days in American history,
and it's an on-going nightmare but we will get through
this, our freedoms will be intact and the spirit of
this country will be stronger than ever.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our
biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation
of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot
dent the steel of American resolve. These acts of mass
murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos
and retreat, but they have failed, our country is
You say you're not going to fight
Because no one will fight for you
And you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to
And you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose
So you say you're not going to fight
Because no one will fight for you
You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go
And you think compassion's a flaw
And you'll never let it show
And you're sure you've hurt in a way
That no one will ever know
But someday the weight of the world
Will give you strength to go
Hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
So hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
So hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
Just hold, on the weight of the world
This is how it's done going for the title and crown
Where now MC's surround as the beat breaks down
In 2 elements clobbin' up those that have been blessed
And as the M-I see the way it ought to be ponessed
Yes, yes am I the one to keep you on your toes
Definitely in my b-boy pose, they let your __ like twist
Touch your chin to your chest to the rhythm like this
Now see what I have, I want you
Be with me or Stick n' Move
Now see what I had, I want you
Be with me or Stick n' Move
MC's dogging me since the first day I grabbed the mic
Now it's like Sit, Stay
Cobra path lifestyles I'm kickin'
Stickin' MC's real quick 'cause times tickin'
At the drop of the defense, I let loose the venom
Sendin', I try to verbal heat up rhythm
The ending will come, grab your family and run
Apocalyptic rhyme pattern taking shots from the sun
Record in the world, four-thousand-eighty-one
Question my intentions and your whole world is done
Like wars to Rome, turn your eyeballs into Saturn
Full metal jacket fully auto rhyme pattern
Now see what I have, I want you
Be with me or Stick n' Move
Now see what I had, I want you
Be with me or Stick n' Move
Stick it, rock it for a click and a whicker
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Stick it, rock it for a click and a whicker
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Stick it, rock it for a click and a whicker
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Stick it, rock it for a click and a whicker
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Now see what I have, I want you
Be with me or Stick n' Move
Now see what I had, I want you

SKIN TO BONE[V1]
Skin to bone/Steel to rust
Ash to ashes/Dust to dust
Let tomorrow have it's way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone/Steel to rust
Ash to ashes/Dust to dust
Your deception/My disgust
When your name is finally drawn
I'll be happy that you're gone
Ash to ashes dust to dust[Chorus]
Uh-uh-uh
Ash to ashes/Dust to dust
Uh-uh-uh
Skin to bone and steel to rust

Right to left/Left to right
Night to day/And day to night
As the skylight fades to gray
I'll be watching far away
Right to left/And left to right[Chorus]
Uh-uh-uh
Ash to ashes/Dust to dust
Uh-uh-uh
Skin to bone and steel to rust[V3]
Let tomorrow have it's way
With the promises betrayed
Skin to bone/And steel to rust
Skin to bone/And steel to rust
I'm a whore and I'm feeling sorry for myself
In your arms I am drowning like the child I was
I need more can you help me?
Feed my sins, come and kill me
It's calling me
Endless skies falling freely down upon my head
So much for hopeless dreaming frustration settles in
I need more can you help me?
Feed my sins, come and kill me
She shines like a flower
In my head
Everybody,
Wants to pick her head
(Chorus)
She said she loved me
And lied to me
She was by the river
And lied to me
She shines like a flower
In my head
Everybody,
Wants her in their bed
(Chorus)
She said she loved you
And lied to you
She was by the river
And lied to you
So eager
So eager
So eager

So eager7x
So eager 3x
(Chorus)
I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too much to conceive
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
that my life became 'cause
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made
So where were you?
When all this I was going through
You never took the time
To ask me just what you could do
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
that my life became 'cause
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made
I never meant to fade...
Away
I NEVER MEANT TO FADE
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made
i look around...
i look around...
i look around and i see myself
i look around and i see myself
im piercing the skin
Chorus
im piercing the skin
one more time, im piercing the skin
its going deeper through the skin
going down, going down
go..in..down!
i turn around and i look at myself
i see the blood on the floor
i see the cut on my arm
i ask myself why
Chorus
im piercing the skin
one more time, im piercing the skin
its going deeper through the skin
going down, going down
go..in..down!
its hard to find you when your not around
i know that your here smiling down
you look at me and i look at you
but nothing you can say or do
compares to the pain that i felt
I would have sailed away
If I'd known that nothing would change
staring out my window sill
In my wasted prison cell
And I know what you want
And I know what you fear
As I cradle your loving
And watch you disappear
(Chorus)
And I feel your heartbeat
Pounding in my head
I like to control you
Cause I can't control myself
Myself
Rain,
Come my way
Mold my head
Like a ball of clay
Softly wither into my grave
Never to see, the sun again
(Chorus)
All alone in a crowd by myself
So sorry,wish I could find a way
Back into your hole again
But I've become your enemy
As were sitting here staring each other down
You open up your mouth let your lies spew out
What are we doing here it's wrong can't you see
You wanna leave me here, and forget about me
You look me, in my face
Tell me I'm, your disgrace
You say that your the victim
I say your full of shit
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why
I've got a bullet with your name
As were sitting here staring each other down
I remember how you used to kick me around
Look deep in my eyes come take all my pain
I only have just one bullet with your name
You look me, in my face
Tell me I'm, your disgrace
You say that your the victim
I say your full of shit
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why
I've got a bullet with your name
I feel the same
GET THE FUCK AWAY!
Yea away
Look deep in my eyes
Come take the pain from me
All I ask of you
Is to get away from me
You look me, in my face
Tell me I'm, your disgrace
You say that your the victim
I say your full of shit
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why
I've got a bullet with your name
All the times you stuck me here
And put me on my own
I feel the same that's why
I've got a bullet with your name
(Shinoda:)
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for paths left lone
Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end
It's the worst kind of pain I've known
(Shinoda + Bennington)
Give up your heart left broken.
And let that mistake pass on
Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost
And in time you'll be glad it's gone.
(Whoa) x 4
[Music break]
(Whoa) x2
(Bennington:)
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for sights unseen
May your love never end and if you need a friend,
There's a seat here along side me.
You are always right beside me
Never leaving your post you always find me in the end
And never stop to picture about the past
Bided my name from day one it never last
I thought so, suspicious from the start
My eyes covered, a blind-folded lost soul
Gotta find my way, through the mystery
Time's up, and it's time to pay
Even though I once believed our love was neverending
I had to face the fact you ruined it all
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)
None of us wanted it to be this way
I would be, trapped in enemy land if I'd stay
like a ticking bomb, about to blow any time
????????????????????
You see, this world don't need a fool like you
But I'm ?????? to stay I got lots to do
So before you close your eyes and
Turn off the light
Take a look again
To find where I die
Even though I once believed our love was neverending
I had to face the fact you ruined it all
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)
Come on, come on
Right behind you
None of us wanted it to be this way
Like a ticking bomb, about to blow anytime
????????????
This world don't need a fool like you
Before you close your eyes and
Turn off the light
Take a look again
To find where I die
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)
You can't see me
Lost in the shadows till you're gone
Waiting just to see you cry (I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me
No matter where you look
I won't be around
I'll be right behind you

"Fellow Americans, it is with the utmost pride and sincerity
that I present this recording, as a living testiment and recollection
Sometimes I wish that I could be your mind unscarred
I envy that you don't know what its like to be destroyed
I've made the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become..
Sanctify
Sometimes I wish that I could be your eyes so blind
To look away from a world that forces you aside
I've made the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become..
At last my eyes have opened
You're the cancer I've removed
You should have given me one more chance to
prove my worth to you
I my worth,I my worth ,WORTH!
Sanctify..
Sometimes I wish that I could be your lips so clean
to keep my mouth shut and not say all the things I didn't mean
I've made the chains undone
but I don't feel complete
a puzzle with a missing piece
I hate what I've become..
You say that your proud of me
Ohhhohhohoh
And you take something out of me
So predictable
Why do I have to see this through?
Why do I have to take this?
Isn’t there something I can do
To make myself finally say this?
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be
You start with apologies
Ohhhohhohoh
Then take another shot at me
So pretendable
Why do I have to see this through?
Why do I have to take this?
Isn’t there something I can do
To make myself finally say this?
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend this
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
Oh oh oh ah ah oh
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend this
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
(yeah) (yo)
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held
Back or up no, I'll hold myself
Check the rep, yep you know mine well
Forget the rest let them know my hell
There and back yet my soul ain't sell
Kept respect up,the best they fell,
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying…
In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go, go, go.
Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told "No"
And I've come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat / it ain't my tone
I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
'Cause I was there saying...
In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you go!!!
Go, go, go.
No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know; go hard
Won't forget how I got this far
For every time saying…
In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go, go, go. (Go, go, go)

H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbin' em in the home of the Terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short wit' cheese I would work wit' them
Boy and we...got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burpin' em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' sheezy my neezy keep my arms so breezy
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So poof...vamoose son of a bitch
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty ya'll got-ta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Yo, It starts with
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
I Didn't look out below
I Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, and didn't even know
I wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me, will eventually, be a memory, of a time when I tried so
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, help me out
Oh, they havin' a good o' time out there
It starts with
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, help me out
Oh, they havin' a good o' time out there
It starts with
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, help me out
Ladies and Gentalmen
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I am
A little bit insecure
A little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all that I got
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I've known faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind we let it all slip away
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind we let it all slip away
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shed but I'm me
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Man, the other day
I was trying to figure out how many letters was in the alphabet
It took me all day, but you know I did it
You wanna know how many letters there are?
26 letters in the alphabet!
26 letters in the alphabet
I wear a shower cap so I don't get wet
I put on my shoes so my feet don't hurt
And go to the floor with Ernie and Bert
When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
I got lots of friends, so I don't need pets
26 letters in the alphabet
Ernie got wasted and Bert went flat
They got kicked out and they can't come back
So they're standing outside, singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yeah, they're standing outside, singin'
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Yeah, you know they outside
Do the Ernie (Who's inside?)
Do the Bert (Who's outside?)
Shake your milky (Who's upside?)
Chocolate shirt (Who's downside?)

Man, I didn't know I was so smart...my brain hurts
I spread through the morning
I'm kicking in the twilight as she comes
Time waits at a darling
Spooning the thickness out and feeding our open mouths
The price you pay is always
Chorus
Too high, I'm too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Time waits at the darling
When your following the animals around (around)
I spread through the morning
Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness out
The price you pay is always
Chorus (x2)
My eyes are weary now
My eyes are weary
My eyes are weary now
Chorus (x2)
Karma Killer
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
You don't believe in me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
Don't even care what you're breaking
And I'm not mistaken
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
You don't believe in me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
Don't even care what you're breaking
And I'm not mistaken
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
[Intro]
(Yeah. Yo. What's up yo?)
What's up? (You got that shit right?)
Yeah. I got it. (Good let's go then.)
*police siren* Ah fuck!
[Remedy]
Check your mirror the scence couldn't get no clearer
Exhaling you with intentions of nailing you
They heard about canary rap sung through word of mouth
Blow your engine out beyond regional doubt
The stash house next crash house
The thirty six z's for a brick in the smash house
Sealing his pump jacks, release the pressure vac'
Pressed the powder pack, craving gets that
Cock my hammer back, what the fuck you looking at?
With your hat turned back, dipped down in black
These twenty two CI's like you and me, street guys
The eyes of the yellow man disguised in lies
They got the okay to make buys, slaughter the flies
On the rise, planning my dimise
Lucky if you see the next day, never dawned on you
Sun rise, open up your eyes, yo, thier on to you
[Chorus: Remedy]
Sunlight shines on my steel, everything is real
What I see, what I feel
Face the fears, yo, what's the deal?
We must conceal, take a spin on life's wheel
[Remedy]
I'm on the lane with a package of raw 'cane
And I'm waiting for a pick-up, carrying like stick-up
Licking my lips out, fast flips, dips for action
Cash rules, my only attraction
My man selling point, v'fer grams off his beeper
Let it be, come see me, I've got the same shit cheaper
Check the spot, the whole shit's hot
It's dead on the block cuz somebody talks a lot
Yo, forget me not, two kids shot, in future not
Knew the plot, blew the spot, never forgot
>From South Beach to Springville in big body benzes
Through New York to the landfill and we're making no
menzes
Level four vests and zoom lenses
The bully all high and them Shaolin Island kids
profiling
It take place, no discrimination of race
What a waste for the spotlight just to get a taste
[Chorus]
[Remedy]
Maybe the kid you're running with's and informant
He got a fat file with the DA that just lay dormant
Inditments for quigles, convictions followed appeals
And dismissals got you thundering, can't help but
wondering
The club scene, a hundred books of acid and who's on
exstacy
Who sniffs shit and who's right next to me?
Big John's on a cycle of steroids
Him and his boys got behind, we've gotta go kill the
noise
Put my life in my man's, hitting speed
On one fifty, one fifty-five, closing in on one sixty
A pound a month habit, son, I can't stop smoking
No joking, you never know, I'll probably die choking
Smoking weed and leaves with Albanian thieves
Together plotting up schemes that we all believe
Mad tricks up the sleave and
We know when you're coming and leaving
and we gotta get even
Sunlight shines on my steel, everything is real
Pray and kneal, take a spin on life's wheel
Time, why must it fly so slow
Waiting, is something that's easy for you
Pull the plug, send it down the drain
Pain is easy to get used to
What's in me, is in you
What's got me, has got you
And everything told, must come true
Pretending to be real, forgetting who you are
Sin, is always at my door
Slice the vein, blood spilled on the floor
Light shining in my eyes
Death greets me with a smile
Pain
So much pain
Pain
You were standing in the wake of devastation
You were waiting on the edge of the unknown
With the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now
You were there and possibly alone
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go.
And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go, let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Do you feel cold and lost in desperation
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
