"Step Up"

Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You cant tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesnt make you an emcee
With your lack of skill and facility
Youre killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
Youre not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesnt make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now theyre getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of its real
You want to be an emcee youve got to study the skill

Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this? [2x]
Step, step up, step, step up

So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you dont have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop youve heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
Youre new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced

(Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him
vulnerable to attack)

[Chorus (2x)]

(After years of pain staking 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 used to carefully attack and neutralize the
cellular structure of the human body, and the question must be asked.)

[Chorus (2x)]

"Part of Me"

Part of me wont go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Cant live without it so its senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
And wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low cause its part of me
Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me
Heard of me the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now Im sick of this
I cant stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away on my sanity
I rather not even be then the man thats staring in the mirror through me

Pre chorus
Cut myself free willingly
Sstop just whats killing me [4x]

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

It cant be frightening if youve never felt it
Once its been dealt with you feel like youve been touched by something angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the karma when the problems all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you cant let be
And that reasonll last fight to free yourself
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well
And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart
Where your insides bruise
You can live if youre willing to
Put a stop to just whats killing you

[Pre chorus (4x)]

[Chorus]

(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently
This part of me wont go away, part of me wont go away
Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be
Every time I see myself I see theres always something wrong with me)

[Chorus (2x)]
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me [2x]

"High Voltage"

Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?

It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

I've been taking into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
Mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
And chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords to 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 the emcees that hate us
So 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've tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplis
(Mixed media)
The stamp of approval is on this

It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
Blood type krylon
Technicolor type A
On highways right with road rage I'm patient to win
The cage and the tin to bounce all around
In surround sound devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention (Attention)
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile
While you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws
Spin, blah blah blah blah
You can say you saw

It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out

"Carousel"

she can't hide no matter how hard she tries
her secret disguised behind the lies
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asking is she alright
all she wants to do is get rid of this hell
well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself
she can only fool herself for so long [x3]
are you too weak to face me?
(she can only fool herself)

[chorus]
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me [x2]

when it comes to how to live his life and can't be told
says he got everything under control
thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit
an addict and he can't hold the reigns
the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
trys to slow down the problem he's got
but can't get off the carousel untill he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long [x3]
are you too weak to face me?
(he can only fool himself)

[chorus x2]

Try to fly with the wings I gave you,
Try to do what you believe and I'll save you [x2]

[chorus x2]

HYBRID THEORY

"Papercut"

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
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A 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

Chorus:
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
the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of 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 watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin

Chorus

The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)

Chorus (Repeat until end)

"One Step Closer"

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

[chours:]
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again

Just like before

[chours (x2)]

shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up, shut up, shut up

I'm about to BREAK

[chours (x2)]

"With 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 Im pretending to be where Im not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And Im left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
Even though youre so close to me
Youre still so distant / And I cant bring you back
Its true / the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if youre not with me
Im with you
You / Now I see/ keeping everything inside
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 isnt real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And Im left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
Even though youre close to me
Youre still so distant / And I cant bring you back
no
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you

"Crawling"

[chorus:]
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

[bridge:]
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

[chorus]

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...

[bridge]

[chorus]

[chorus]

"Runaway"

Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

i'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
i'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
i'm gonna run away and open my mind
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

i wanna run away
and open up my mind
i wanna run away
and open up my mind
i wanna run away
and open up my mind
i wanna run away
and open up my mind

"By Myself"

What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away 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 none and live life in loneliness?
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]

[x2]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I cant rely on myself

[Chorus:]
I cant hold on
To what I want when Im stretched so thin
Its all too much to take in
I cant hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I
Turn my back Im defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then theyll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go Ill be outdone
But if I try to catch them Ill be outrun
If Im killed by the questions like a cancer
Then Ill be buried in the silence of the answer
by myself [myself]

[x2]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I cant rely on myself

[Chorus]

How do you think Ive lost so much
I'm so 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

[x2]
Dont you know
I cant tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I cant seem to convince myself why
Im stuck on the outside

[Chorus x2]

"In The End"

(It starts with)
One thing / I dont know why
It doesnt 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
Its so unreal
Didnt look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didnt 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 dont know why
It doesnt 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
Im surprised it got so (far)
Things arent the way they were before
You wouldnt 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
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
Theres only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
Theres only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

"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
The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming
The moons 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
Im 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 dont understand
(Youll 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 Ill be just like you / and
Step on people like you do and / Run
Away 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 shouldve known / That youd
Wear out your welcome / now you see
How quiet it is / all alone / Im 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 / Im 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
You try to take the best of me
Go away

"Forgotten"

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care
[Chorus x2]

Theres a place so dark you cant see the end
Skies cock back and shock that which cant defend
The rain then sends dripping / acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut / looking thought the rust and rot
And dust / a small spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again

[Chorus x1]

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats
On down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the papers crumpled up it cant be perfect again

[Chorus x2]

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you
[x7]

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
[x2]

"Pushing Me Away"

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 a lie
(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 too
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 a lie
(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
(We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
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
Pushes me away

REANIMATION

"Pts.Of.Athrty"

Yo, yo

"Enth E Nd"

Hey, yo
When this first started off
It was just Linkin Park
And then in the middle
Came Motion Man
And at the end of it all
It was Kutmasta Kurt
With a remix

One thing, I dont know why
It doesnt 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 slipping away
And I watched it count down to the end of the day
Watched it watch me and the words that I say
The echo of the clock rhythm in my veins
I know that I didnt look out below
And I watched the time go right out the window
Tried to grab hold
Tried not to watch
I wasted it all on the hands of 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 when I tried so hard

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

Hey, yo
One thing, I dont know why
It doesnt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, hah, I so-socialse
Like the host of the party
I spoke, shaked, and made eye-contact
Partied and toasted strong, all that
Northeast, Southwest coast
Im staring out the window
No oppourtunity to mingle
I tried to sew it up to weaken your system
I had you throwing up
I brought you back into things
Like the imaginary man of your dreams
Youd always seem to make it worth it
I picked skin, I never nursed it
You felt like loving, never played real
Im bringing the pleasure
By any means it means Im leaving your team
Hell of a team, man it seems I tried so hard

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

Linkin Park

In the end
Kutmasta Kurt
Remix

One thing, I dont know how
It doesnt even matter when you look at it now
Cause when I designed this rhyme
I was scared of it all, scared to fall, and I hadnt even tried to crawl
But I was forced to run with you mocking me, stopping me, backstabbing me constantly
Remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock now chock-full of hipocrisy
But now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing you said to make things fail
Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece
But it really doesnt matter to me
Cause from the start to 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 when I tried so hard

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

In the end

"Frgt/10"

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The pictures there
The memory wont escape me

Were 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 its dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The pictures there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care?

In the memory youll 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
Im nauseated by the polluted rock thats 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 anybodys name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday Im 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 Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The pictures there
The memory wont escape me

Im here at this podium talking
The ceremonial offerings dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspinrg
Whats 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 societys 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
Im the forgotten

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

"P5hng Me A*wy"

When I look into your eyes theres nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me

Everything has to end
Youll soon find that were out of time left to watch it all unwind
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never froun eventually break down
Everything has to end
Youll soon find that were out of time left to watch in all unwind
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down

Ive lied to you
This is the last smile that Ill fake for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart even
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end
Youll soon find were out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
When you just push away
No matter what you see
Youre still so blind to me

Even the people who never frown eventually break down

Ive tried, like you, to do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
That Ill 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 a lie
Everything has to end
Youll soon find were out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stay with you
When you just push away
No matter what you see
Youre still so blind to me

Reverse psychology is failing miserably
Its so hard to be left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
There is nothing left but to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes theres nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
When you just push away
No matter what you see
Youre still so blind to me

Why I stayed with you
When you just push away
No matter what you see
Youre still so blind to me

"Plc.4 Mie Haed"

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you dont understand
I want to 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 doesnt give the light to the moon assuming the moons going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favours then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about things that you want back from me

Im 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
Im 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 dont understand
Youll see its not meant to be
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you dont understand
Youll see its not meant to be
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head

Two, two, three, three
Yo, yo, yo
Give me Energon to keep me calm
You and your mom keep all the dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb
Take it to the john in your babylon
Flushed down with the sound that you carry on
I dont really give a dang
You p****d on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk
Now the battles 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 dont, we gon bump
Get it up here, crunk
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 dont, we gon bump
Get it up here, crunk

I want to be in another place

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 away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best
Go, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away

You try to take the best of me (get away from me), go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
Get away from me

Wasnt that fun?
Lets try something else

Forty-five calibre killer from out of the filler
Definitely going to show yall brothers how you not a gorilla
Smooth talking, fully automatic weapon concealer
Taste thriller, break thriller
Lets 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 f**k your thinking, its not a mirage
Im in the motherf**king track, yo, from out the garage
With an if, you to duck, but its hard to dodge
In the back of the spine where my dawgs, they lie
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
Im the B-to-the-L, the A, the C, King
And when it comes to planning
The thought to keep thinking, man

Shut up

"H! Vltg3"

Sometimes
Hybrid

Ive 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 Im 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-types 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

Bringing you up and taking you down

Coming at you from every side

Whos the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No mans bolder than the Pharoahe when he jams
The plans over
I have fake sclerosis
The most ferocious
Why I spy, my third eye, distinctly high voltage
Thats why I need Ruby Quartz glasses
Cause when I glance theres 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
Thats a hologram
I box your head
Fatten your lip like Collogen
A telepath to deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda

Hey, Mike, whats up?
This is Roc, just asking you whats happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if youre going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
because hes got my keyboard that Ive been trying to get back
Ive been trying to call him and he hasnt been returning any messages
so Im seeing what the best angle is to, you know, get it back

"Wth>You"

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 Im pretending to be where Im not anymore
A little taste of hipocrisy
And Im left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though youre so close to me
Youre still so distant
And I cant bring you back

Its true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if youre not with me

Im 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 isnt real
Im trapped in this memory
And Im left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though youre so close to me
Youre still so distant
And I cant bring you back

Its true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if youre not with me

Im 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 wont let you control my fate
While Im holding the wait of the world on my conscience
No, I wont just sit here and wait
While you wear your options
Youre making a fool of me
No, you didnt dare try to say that you dont care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
No, it aint like me to beg on my knees
Oh, please, oh, baby, please
Thats not how Im doing things
No, Im not upset
No, Im not angry
I know love is love, love
Sometimes it pains me
With or without you
Ill always be with you
Youll never forget me
Im keeping you with me
No, I wont let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn and torture my soul
No, Im not your puppet
And, no, no, no, I wont let you go

No, no matter how far weve come
I cant wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far weve come, I
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

"PPr:Kut"

Uh, yeah

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in heres not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoias all I got left
I dont 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
Its like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches everytime I lie
A face that laughs everytime I fall
And watches everything
So, know that when its time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin

Its like Im paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like a face inside thats right beneath my skin

Hey, yo
Here we go again with the pain I feel isnt real
But in my mind, I find myself in places with names but not faces
My memory races at speeds
Hundred degrees
My sould bleeds, devil mustve planted the seed
Now it feels like my backs against the wall
Im taking the fall
Whenever I call nobodys responding at all
But I dont know who I can trust
The screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the frame
All Im trying to do is just master me
All I want to do is smoke a blast-to-beat
But something keeps talking to me
Consciously, responsibly, keeps haunting me from dusk til dawn
Everything has something for you
That voice inside of your head got you projecting paranoia
Cold sweat shining on your face
Exposing your purpose
And if I ripped off your skin Id probably find another person
Theres nothing worse than trying to bring yourself on back from the dead
So I advise you: listen to that voice in the back of your head

Its like Im paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like a face inside thats right beneath my skin

Its like Im paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like a face inside thats right beneath my skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
Its like Im paranoid
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
Cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin

Its like Im paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like a face inside thats right beneath my skin

Its like Im paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like a face inside thats right beneath my skin

Yo, I dont think youre all ready

Grafitti decourations
Under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension
Still giving me away
The lessons Ive forgotten
In spite of all Ive learned
Now, I find myself in question
Point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point the finger at me again

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

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 the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point the finger at me again

I want to run away (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)

All you new-skool dudes aint 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 yall who said I wasnt going to make it
Every time I blaze it, yall the first to hate it
My team reigns supreme to stay strong
Got the true series, son
They scared to put us on
Cant get with hybrids
Get off your hiatus
To many yalls 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 LPs on
Im a little communicate

What do I do to ingore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here 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 lonliness?
Because I cant hold on when Im stretched so thin
I make the right moves but Im 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 cant rely on myself

I ask why

I cant look around
Its too much to take in
I cant hold back
When Im stretched so thin
I cant slow down
Watching everything spin
I cant look back
Starting over again

If I turn my back Im defenceless
And to go blindly seems senceless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then theyll take from me til everything is gone
If I let them go Ill be outdone
But if I try to catch them Ill be outrun
If Im killed by the questions like a cancer
Then Ill be buried in the silence of the answer

By myself

Im about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause Im one step closer to the edge
And Im about to break

Im about to break
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
This room to breathe

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything Ive said before
All these words, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
Youll find that out anyway
I find the answers arent so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before

Everything you say to me
And Im about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And Im about to break

Everything you say to me
And Im about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And Im about to break

These are the places where I can feel torn from my body
My flesh, it peels during this rightly, concurring, balmy night
Im about to break
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face

Crawling in my skin
Without a sence of confidence
Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take
Theres 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

Theres something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control
I fear is never ending
Controlling, I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sence of confidence
Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take
Ive 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
Its haunting
How I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in

Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take

"Don't Stay"

Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes Im in disbelief I didnt know
Somehow I need you to go

Dont stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Dont stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Dont stay

Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes Im in disbelief I didnt know
Somehow I need to be alone

Dont stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Dont stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Dont stay

I dont need you anymore, I dont want to be ignored
I dont need one more day of you wasting me away
I dont need you anymore, I dont want to be ignored
I dont need one more day of you wasting me away
With no apologies

Dont stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Dont stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Dont stay

"Somewhere I Belong"

(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 Im not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that Ive got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and 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 real
I wanna let go of the pain Ive felt so long
(Erase all the pain till its gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like Im close to something real
I wanna find something Ive wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And Ive got nothing to say
I cant believe I didnt fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That its not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
Cause I cant justify the 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

[Repeat Chorus]

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

[Repeat Chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like Im somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like Im somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

"Lying From You"

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 cant forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I cant pretend this is the way itll stay Im just
(trying to bend the truth)
I cant pretend Im who you want me to be, so Im

[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,Id 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 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 fittin in
And now you think this person really is me and Im
(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 Id 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 isnt what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have you running from me

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)

"Hit The Floor"

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 cant forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I cant pretend this is the way itll stay Im just
(trying to bend the truth)
I cant pretend Im who you want me to be, so Im

[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,Id 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 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 fittin in
And now you think this person really is me and Im
(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

(The very worst part of you is me)

"Easier To Run"

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The 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)
(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)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

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
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

(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)
(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)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change

[Chorus]
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(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)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)


"Faint"

I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I cant 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]
(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 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
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got

[Chorus]
(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)

[Chorus]
(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)

[Chorus]
(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

"Figure.09"

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 would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infiite words I could say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

[Chorus]
(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 separate)
(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 happening
I 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 committing myself to them and everyday
I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

[Chorus]
(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 separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)

(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

(Get away from me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you
(Know)
I let you go so get away from
(Me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I've kept it but now I'm letting you
(Know)
I let you go

(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 separate)
(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
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

"Breaking The Habit"

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
(Unless i try to start again)
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside i realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why i have to scream
I don't know why i instigate
And say what i don't mean
I don't know how i got this way
I know it's not alright
So i'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside i realize
That i'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why i have to scream
I don't know why i instigate
And say what i don't mean
I don't know how i got this way
I'll never be alright
So i'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
Cause i'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why i have to scream
But now i have some clarity
To show you what i mean
I don't know how i got this way
I'll never be alright
So i'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

"From The Inside"

I dont 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 Im 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)

[Chorus]
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I wont trust myself with you

Tension is building inside steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(Trying not to break but Im 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)

[Chorus]
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I wont trust myself with you

I wont waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You

Ill take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I wont trust myself with you

Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I wont trust myself with you
You
You

"Nobody's Listening"

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
With raps that 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 nobodys listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you dont want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobodys listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything lefts a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone elses more
Im riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that its better I cant 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 nobodys listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you dont want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobodys 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 nobodys listening)
(Call to you so clearly but you dont want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobodys listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobodys listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobodys listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobodys listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobodys listening)

Coming at you from every side

"Numb"
