Damn, that was a great performance.

He would have to mess with it quite a bit if he did that. Welcome's verses are 12 bars each if I'm not mistaken, and that part of the medley is 16. He could do it, but it'd be more of a challenge than something like SKIN TO BONE (Remix)/When They Come For Me, which have 16 bar verses, or Remember The Name, which has two verses that are each 8 bars.

Drop Given Up, Points of Authority, Runaway, Ballad Medley, Robot Boy, Joe Solo Medley, and Crawling for Rebellion (yes, it was on the set, but it wasn't played), With You, War, Until It's Gone, Mark The Graves, Guilty All The Same, and A Place For My Head. Also move Waiting For The End back into the mid-section of the set to break up that lull, and swap Welcome and Mike's Medley positions, as Final Masquerade -> Welcome seems like it'd be MUCH better than Final Masquerade -> Mike's Solo Medley. Also do some cooler shit with Bleed it Out to make it a better closing song.

Nah

Just an FYI, The Bonus Track from Run Joseph Run, the Sampler Mixtape Intro, and Trades of the Tool are incomplete solely because I couldn't decipher about half of the lyrics. Any help with those would be appreciated.

Each family had a number, so they had their number on this, um, duffel bag. So, they said you have to move out certain day, but you know." "The barracks were like quads. They had four sections, so you could have four families in a row. There were no rooms. So, oh, yeah. It was cramped, and then, to get your privacy, we used to put up partitions. Sheets. The walls were just boarded with tar paper" "I remember my husband said "Oh, we're gonna stay til 'last." Then my husband died before they closed the camp, in the camp. Uh, we had four kids and (?) was born in camp. While I was there in three years, I never went out of camp" "Before the war, my father had a mercantile. It was very successful. But, when we first got back from camp, it was pretty, pretty bad. When we came back from camp, we were very poor. We used to, we used to use newspapers for wallpaper. What we ended up doing was we, we day labored. I remember going out and we picked grapes and worked on, you know, farms to make a living." Tools Of The Trade Alright you guys, listen.

Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home Strange Things Yeah! Uh uh! Y'all! Everybody up! Let me introduce to you A man that you heard of and you thought you knew But give me a couple of seconds just to prove to you You never did, but let me give you a chance to I used to swear everybody had it in for me People only wanted to talk to, spit on me So I'd paint pictures, draw a little bit And every time I was pissed off at some kid I'd get home and draw a little sketch Of any kid I hated with a knife in the neck A pencil in the eye and a hole in the back I had a back pack of six sketches like that And over time people started to see The pictures that I made, made a lot of sense to me But it never ready made much of a difference They still talk shit, but not at close distance And that sucked cause all I wanted to have Was just a little attention with the good and bad But over time I got sick of trying And kept making them pictures and kept redrawing lines I don't know where I'm going with this I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this Sit back and take in the story of the kid As I look back at the strange things I did Everybody up! Let me tell the truth to you I never thought I'd be anyone you wished you knew And just thought I'd end up a stain on the wall Something you wanted fix if you've seen it all Anyway back at PSI I had a class with a smart mouth friend of mine And we would sit in the back, the two of us combined We'd make fun of everybody just to pass the time Now, we did it quietly so no one heard A couple of nerds, sentence full of pictures and words Until this kid heard we were calling him names and decided to get tough I remember he came up to me that day in front of half my friends And talk shit so loud people couldn't pretend they didn't hear him Saying he would beat my ass and I laughed But he was serious and pushed me back At this point, I was pretty confused This little bitch was all amped so what could I do I should have come back at him for all to see But instead I just told him that, "It wasn't me" I don't know where I'm going with this I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this Sit back and take in the story of the kid As I look back at the strange things I didI don't know where I'm going with this I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this Sit back and take in the story of the kid As I look back at the strange things I did It's like Flat Liners, see that flick? People dying, come back saying crazy shit People that they did wrong come back to attack them And everyone that they hurt comes back for revenge Well if that was ever going to happen to me I'd pretentiously would be attacked constantly But then again, for all the pain in my past There'd be a lot of people that had better watch their ass I don't know where I'm going with this I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this Sit back and take in the story of the kid As I look back at the strange things I did I don't know where I'm going with this I'm just reminiscing and telling the story of this Sit back and take in the story of the kid As I look back at the strange things I did Believe Me (Club Remix) I guess, That this is where we've come to, If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! I don't want to be the one to blame, you like fun and games, Keep playing 'em, I'm just sayin, Think back then we was like one and the same, On the right track, but I was on the wrong train, It's like that, now you gotta face the pain, And the devil's got a fresh new place to play, In your brain like a maze you can never escape, The rain, every damn day is the same shade of grey. Hey, I used have a little bit of a plan, used to, Have a concept of where I stand, But that concept slipped right out of my hand and now, I don't really even know who I am, yo, What do I have to say, Maybe, I should do what I have to do to break free and, What ever happens to you, we'll see, But it's not gonna happen with me. I guess, That this is where we've come to, If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! Back then, I thought you were just like me, Somebody who could see all the pain I see, But you proved to me unintentionally, That you would self-destruct, eventually, Now I'm faking like the mistake I made doesn't hurt, But it's not gonna work, 'cause it's really much worse than I thought, I wished you were something that you were not, And now this guilt is really all that I got. Uh, you turn your back and walk away in shame, All you got is a memory of pain, Nothing makes sense so you stare at the ground, And hear my voice in my head when no one else is around, So what do I have to say, Maybe, I should do what I have to do to break free and, Whatever happens to you, we'll see, But it's not gonna happen to me, I guess, That this is where we've come to, If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! I guess, That this is where we've come to, If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! I'll do what I have to do, (You're on your own now believe me) Whatever happens to you, (You're on your own now believe me) What do I have to say, (You're on your own now believe me) It's not gonna happen to me, (You're on your own now believe me) Start It All Up Yo Give me a second, I'll write about my pain for pages I got a head full of frustrated phrases So just bear with me as I get this out You know the type of person that I'm talking about These people who want to act like they've got your back They never had your back, they just stab you in it I never pretended I had it all together inside, I got insecurities and things I'm trying to hide, And I could never seem to get anything right, And I could never seem to stop busting my fight And I could never seem to get it right with you, And I could never redeem myself when I'm through, But sometimes, you know what, I just don't care, I'm gonna speak my mind and let everybody stare This is the last time, I'm telling you real loud, If you want to tell me I'm wrong, let's do it right now Start it all up, I'm ready to go All I need is a signal just to let me know Come on, start it all up, cause all I want, Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got Start it all up, I'm ready to go All I need is a signal just to let me know Come on, start it all up, cause all I want, Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got Give me a minute, I'll fill a newspaper with columns, Cause people saying that I got an attitude problem, That I'm negative when I rhyme, I complain, Pessimistic all the time, in these lines All the same, I just talk like this on a record and let it out, I just cock back and let it all come flooding out I just say the things that I know I feel are real, I peel back the skin 'till the nerves reveal You want to come with me, come closer to the speaker You want to run with me, you're gonna have to dig deeper You want to let it all out, I'll show you how You want to tell me I'm wrong, we can do it right now Start it all up, I'm ready to go All I need is a signal just to let me know Come on, start it all up, cause all I want, Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got Start it all up, I'm ready to go All I need is a signal just to let me know Come on, start it all up, cause all I want, Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got Mike Shinoda The most ferocious Mike Shinoda With or without an accompliceMike Shinoda The most ferocious Mike Shinoda With or without an accomplice Start it all up, I'm ready to go All I need is a signal just to let me know Come on, start it all up, cause all I want, Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got Start it all up, I'm ready to go All I need is a signal just to let me know Come on, start it all up, cause all I want, Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got Move On This is not a story that you've heard or you know Everyone in black from the head to the toe And I'm sitting in the back in the very last row Hearing everybody ask why I had to go Ladies and gentlemen we're gathered here today To talk about the end in a friend gone away Talking about pretending they don't know what to say And they're tripping over words but they're talking anyway Mingling and singing all these really sad songs Talking of what I did right and forgetting all my wrongs Saying how they'll miss me so much now that I'm gone Man this is depressing Let's move on Let's move on Come back to life like the light of the dawn It's like a tightrope just move right along Don't look down and don't step wrong We don't have time so just move on Friends from my past wiping tears on their sleeve In between people that were never close to me And as I turn my back on everyone to leave I know that I'll be back to see them all eventually I've gotta go away just to try something new Cause what I'm used to isn't all that I can do Just a change of scenery, just another view Take it back to the beginning Take it back to the roots Let's move on Come back to life like the light of the dawn It's like a tightrope just move right along Don't look down and don't step wrong We don't have time so just move on Come back to life like the light of the dawn It's like a tightrope just move right along Don't look down and don't step wrong We don't have time so just move on Just move on Just move--- Related / Misc.

(shop x10) Remember The Name (Clean) You ready?! Lets go! Yeah! For those of you that wanna know what we're all about? It's like this ya'll (c'mon!) This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights, He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic, He feels so unlike everybody else, alone, In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him, But no, he knows the code, It's not about the salary, It's all about reality and makin' some noise, Makin' the story, makin' sure his clique stays up, That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin' it up! Let's go! Who the hell is he anyway? He never really talks much, Never concerned with status, but still leavin' them star struck, Humbled through opportunities, given to him despite the fact, That many misjudge him, because he makes a livin' from writin raps, Put it together himself, now the picture connects, Never askin' for someone's help, or to get some respect, He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach, And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist... This is twenty percent skill, Eighty percent beer, Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill, Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames, And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game", Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church, I like "Bleach" man, Ryu had the stupidest verse, This dude is the truth, now everybody be givin him guest spots, His stock's through the roof I heard he fuckin with S. Dot! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! They call him Ryu The Sick, And he's spittin' fire with Mike, Got him out the dryer he's hot, Found him in Fort Minor with Tak, Been a ... annihilist porcupine, He's a ..., he's a ..., The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get ..., Eight years in the makin', patiently waitin to blow, Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe, He's got a partner in crime, his ... is equally dope, You wont believe the kind of ... that comes out of this kid's throat... Tak! He's not your everyday on the block, He knows how to work with what he's got, Makin' his way to the top, People think its a common owners name, People keep askin' him was it given at birth, Or does it stand for an acronym? No he's livin' proof, Got him rockin the booth, He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice, Him and his crew are known around as one of the best, Dedicated to what they doin' give a hundred percent... Forget Mike, nobody really knows how or why he works so hard, It seems like he's never got time, Because he writes every note and he writes every line, And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind, It's like a design is written in his head every time, Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme, And those other fellas he runs with, those kids that he signed? Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! Yeah! Fort Minor! M. Shinoda! Styles Of Beyond! Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop! The Battle (Extended) Times up, times up, times up! Alright Celph you got 30 seconds, You ready? Aight Celph Titled hit em! Hhaha..yeah! Aight, that's all you got?

Where'd You Go (Clean Version) Where'd you go? I miss you so,Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. She said; "Some days I feel like shh, some days I wanna quit, And just be normal for a bit, I don't understand why you have to always be gone, I get along but the trips always feel so long, and, I find myself tryin' to stay by the phone, 'Cause your voice always helps me and I feel not so alone, But I feel like an idiot, working my day around a call, That when I pick up I don't have much to say, so, I want you to know it's a little messed up, That I'm stuck here waiting, At times debating, telling you I've had it with you and your career, Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"." Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Please come back home. Come back home, you know that place where you used to live?, Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs, Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile, But now you only stop by every once in a while. Yeah, I find myself just filling my time, With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind, I'm doing fine, and I'm planning to keep it that way, And you can call me if you find that you have something to say, And I'll tell you; "I want you to know it's a little messed up, That I'm stuck here waiting, At times debating, telling you that I've had it with you and your career.

I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Please come back home. I want you know it's a little messed up, That I'm stuck here waiting, No longer debating, Tired of sitting and hating and making these excuses, For why you're not around, and feeling so useless, It seems one thing has been true all along, You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone, I guess I've had it with you and your career, When you come back I won't be here, And you can sing it. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home Please come back home Where'd You Go (SOB Remix) Where'd you go?

Dolla Come on! Yeah! Like that y'all... Uh huh. Woo! Like that! Aw, yeah! Fort Minor, S.O.B. It sure is fine Yeah Like this, listen... Attention please, I only need a second, To make a mental impression directly on any record (so), Gimme space to move, room to prove I'm stupid with with the B's and Q's, Ladies and gentleman I'm sending you better, Pretending the pen is a needle I'm injectin' the venom, And I'll be damned if I let another man get to me, I'll bruise you with a shoe to the family jewelry! I'm back with fury attack quickly, Sick with a BIC pen all up in your shit man! You never knew a flow as sick as this, Bitch listen when I'm letting you know, Got a grip on these tracks that you wish you got, Got a clique full of assholes I kid you not, So when that mixtape's done and that album drops, Ryu, and Tak and Me, got it loaded and locked, Believe it! You still breathin'? I'm cockin and squeezin', Tucked still? Nope I dont give a fuck who sees it, Broad days, sittin sideways, stuffed in a small cave, For three fucking weeks till you reek like dog waste, (Uh) Really, I put a punk in his place, Let's see if he freestyles with a pump in his face, Got something to say? Please, better keep it a secret, The street's got hideous ways of handling beef bitch, So eat shit, hate it or love it the underdogs on top, Gettin faded, tellin' people to suck it, Buckin' em down for real, while you fuckin' around, I'm stuck in a house for months tryin' to sharpen my skill, So how does it feel? You lames wanna claim my throne? You got a better chance getting Danny Hayes on the phone, Good luck, I flame suckas till they're black and crispy, Sneaking heat up in the club like a flask of Whiskey (Uh!) Yeah, I'm here to crack the roof in, You got a nice watch but your raps are useless, You better cut the crap before I snap some nooses, And leave you all snoozin on some afternoon shit, Yeah, I hit the streets with a cake and batter for fun, Just to spit bleach in his face, It's lunchtime punk open the face, Hit you with a punchline till you choke on your teeth, Catch me at a show rockin' in that tipsy mode, Like angels and demons unlockin Da Vinci's code, One drop in the canister, people split the globe, Blowin' every planet to shit once I hit the road, Uh! You in a tight nitch, cut you with Apathy, I'm on the night shift, see I hustle like Cassidy, So kill that chit chat and let the west coast see, One of the illest names Ribkat from S.O.B. C'mon. Aw, yeah! It sure is fine Aw, yeah! It sure is fine Get It Yo, yo. yo Ryu and Tak. Demigodz, Scoop Deville This kid is only seventeen, man. He's about to be a problem! So let's get right to it and groove, It ain't nothing but a thing to get you people to move, Got em' lovin' the way we swing, when we step on the scene, You know we kill it, goin' all out, We about to g-g-g-g-g-get it, It's in my blood, I was born to spit it. The cord has kept me warm through the storms of winter. Ignore the pain, the struggle, when it's time for dinner, We huddle together and grind, rain or shine, Survive the weather, forget about changin spinners, Throw me a bone, I'm just trying to raise my litter. It made me bitter, eventually made me sicker, So when the heat's on, we don't get pre-game jitters, (uh-huh) We go to work man, diggin' the dirt, We took 'em to church with chicken and some teenage strippers, Livin' life by the seat of my pants, and three-peated we champs, Undefeated, we can't lose ever. Whoever wanted with us better roll with a camp, Be trust to cover your ass when your asses can't. (huh) So bottom's up, here's one for the crew, Put some liquor in your gut and tell me what you wanna do, singin' S, for every sucker left behind, O, what they were yellin' when I bust a rhyme B, best believe when it's time to get it, We grind and check 'cause we ain't got time to kick it. S, for the drunk sexy women, O, sippin' Jack with some Pepsi in it, B, best believe when it's time to get it, We grind and check 'cause we ain't got time to kick it. So let's get right to it and groove, It ain't nothing but a thing to get you people to move, Got em' lovin' the way we swing, when we step on the scene, You know we kill it, goin' all out, We about to g-g-g-g-g-get it, Wow look at 'em now, their mouths are closed, We done came a long way since 2004, Spilled bleach, got the whole entire crowd exposed, The fume's leaking in the street, throwin' down them bowls, (whoa) We on the job, don't roll with the mob, With fake facades, to get it, just to make me large, I roll a 7 and 9, just to break the yards, And step in your mind and unfold the great bazaar, Hit the killswitch...yeah I found my hitch, I'm on the pitchers mound, for now it's me and Will Smith, Finally overseas, I sneak in your mattress, Ain't nothin' like a sweet club freak with a accent, We out gettin' bent, million dollar amounts, So if you with me, lemme see you raise your bottle and shout, Singin'... S, for every sucker left behind, O, what they were yellin' when I bust a rhyme B, best believe when it's time to get it, We grind and check 'cause we ain't got time to kick it.

From bottom to top (I rose), Choppin them rocks (and those), Cockin the glock (and blow), No more of that, Now I just hop in the drop (and go), To the most popular spots, With hoes and they know (they go), I went from pumpin' that white stuff, To bein' up in them white clubs, Like hey, I got dubs still pumpin that white stuff, Plus I fuck with the white boys, skaters and bike boys, Who may act different but the struggles alike, boy, Shinoda know that if there's a problem I'm coming over, yo, Quick fast in a hurry, and not be there to overdose, And I mean that, just call if you need that, The best of both different worlds, not often they see that...

And that's just food for thought I'm movin the bar, rap entrepreneur, and rap lord, Come to the hood, I'll bring you in through that trap door, It's Demigodz and it's Dipset, it's Doe Rakers and it's Byrd Gang That's Ryu, Celph and Santana, the best rap singers you ever heard, Say...

Haha, how's this for a fuckin remix, right? Yeah. You got it (Fort Minor!), Yeah...you ready? Okay... (Whoa, hey) Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who want to know what we're really all about? (Whoa, hey) Let's do it like this... (Whoa, hey) This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, (Whoa, hey) Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, (Whoa, hey) Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, (Whoa, hey) And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! (Whoa, hey)(This is the remix) Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights, He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic, He feels so unlike everybody else, alone, In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him, But fuck 'em, he knows the code, It's not about the salary, It's all about reality and makin' some noise, Makin' the story, makin' sure his clique stays up, That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go! Who the hell is he anyway? (Whoa, hey) He never really talks much, Never concerned with status, but still leavin' them star struck, Humbled through opportunities, given to him despite the fact, (Whoa, hey) That many misjudge him, because he makes a livin' from writin raps, Put it together himself, now the picture connects, (Whoa, hey) Never askin' for someone's help, or to get some respect, He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach, (Whoa, hey) And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist... This is twenty percent skill, Eighty percent beer, Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill, Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames, And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game", Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church, I like "Bleach" man, Ryu had the stupidest verse, This dude is the truth, now everybody be givin him guest spots, His stock's through the roof I heard he fuckin with S. Dot! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, (Whoa, hey) Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, (Whoa, hey) Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, (Whoa, hey) And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! (Whoa, hey) They call him Ryu The Sick, And he's spittin' fire with Mike, Got him out the dryer he's hot, Found him in Fort Minor with Tak, Been a fuckin' annihilist porcupine, He's a prick, he's a cock, The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot, Eight years in the makin', patiently waitin to blow, Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe, He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope, You wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat... Tak! He's not your everyday on the block, (Whoa, hey) He knows how to work with what he's got, Makin' his way to the top, People think its a common owners name, (Whoa, hey) People keep askin' him was it given at birth, Or does it stand for an acronym? No he's livin' proof, Got him rockin the booth, (Whoa, hey) He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice, Him and his crew are known around as one of the best, (Whoa, hey) Dedicated to what they doin' give a hundred percent... Forget Mike, nobody really knows how or why he works so hard, (Whoa, hey) It seems like he's never got time, (Whoa, hey) Because he writes every note and he writes every line, (Whoa, hey) And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind, (Whoa, hey) It's like a design is written in his head every time, (Whoa, hey) Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme, (Whoa, hey) And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that he signed? (Whoa, hey) Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?! (Whoa, hey) This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, (Whoa, hey) Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, (Whoa, hey) Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, (Whoa, hey) And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! (Whoa, hey) This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, (Whoa, hey) Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, (Whoa, hey) Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, (Whoa, hey) And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! (Whoa, hey) Yeah! (Whoa) Mike Shinoda! (Whoa) Fort Minor! (Whoa) Machine Shop! (Whoa) Green Lantern! Bleach (Jimi Remix) "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of yours?" "Yeah?" "It's me.." "I called you half a fuckin' hour ago" "Yeah, Adrianna put my keys where I couldn't find em..." "Go to the drug store, get two pairs of surgical gloves, some bleach, come to our friend's house...the contractor." "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of yours?" Yo! Swing the sword for the classic year, Bring the noise with your hands up, slash and tear, Who can, fathom asthma, dash for air, Spittin' on the baby bib in the plastic chair, What's up stupid? (Shoot this), One-five-one in the shot glass (Hot flash), Bangin' on the drum, (uh!) We cause havoc down in Las Vegas, Paper trails racing Pelican briefcases, We outrageous, name the streets gave us, Yeah, we got fame, but now we heat blazers, I let 'em all fly, ten in the clip, one in the chamber, ("Hey Joe, where you goin' with that?") Thumbs up! Another banger, Untuck the flamer, dumbfuck, It's like gettin' hit with a dumptruck, Brains and guts, Maim, cut, aim, duck, same stuff, ("Hey Joe, where you goin' with that?") Get you cracked up like cocaine, heat 'em up, Ok, I'll let the suckas fly once, Face down, found him in his Captain Crunch, Uh, malpractice, a bang-all jam, I joust rappers and track in the radar scans, Flip beats for the crew like fleets and platoons, Reach for the moon like Reese Witherspoon (uh!), Don't stop the sure-shot, the rooftop anthem, Blast the gold box, cock back the cannon, What's up partna', I got ya (what, what), Hope that (*pop, pop*) crack the pinata, Slap, box, mouth of backwash, Teeth mashed up on the asphalt, ya dig? Set the pace like a mustang mashin', ("Hey Joe, where you goin' with that?") Up the stakes, who wanna cut the cake, I take cash, Dropped on a blood-stained mattress, Stop! You ain't got access...watch, I'ma change my accent, Ryu and Tak, ("Hey Joe, where you goin' with that?") You little cunts in the game, you can suck my cock, And lay flat on the ground, don't make a peep, If you want the stains out now, get the bleach! Get the bleach! Guess who got the rubber gloves and the bleach? Guess who rockin every club, that's me! Get so hot, you feel the buzz in the street, Keeping it knockin', drop drop that beat! Guess who got the group name on top? S.O.B. got the rap thang locked! Who, what, what, when, why or what not? You got messed up Ryu and Tak! Yeah here it comes, all you hear is the click, Blow your brains on a sandwhich like Miracle Whip, While the blood keeps gushin', Relish and pink mustard, Huh! I'ma slam till I tear it to bits, Till the bell for the recess rang, On the defense game, You feeling grilled like P.F. Changs, Hopscotch on the corpse, till I drop the torch, And burn crews for their views that I rock with force.. Sayin, Don't stop the sure-shot, the rooftop anthem, Blast the gold box, cock back the cannon, What's up y'all, we don't stall, Come one, come all till we drop the ball like, (*scratched*) Get the bleach! Yeah Yo, yo Shinoda, Shinoda from the South Dako It's Big Ghost right here You know what I mean? With the (?) Yo, we finished off that joint for, um, Lupe You know what I mean?

You got me, got me, kind of like twisted over there Shit, I want you to explain it How you want it Spraypaint & Ink Pens This is an invasion! Fort Minor! Fort Minor (Fort Minor) [Chorus] Uh! Spraypaint and inkpens, I use to write in every color I think in, To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in,Yeah, the gallery is the beat and I.. I, I, I Yeah ladies and gentlemen, we have a special guest for you this evening, Ghost you ready? Yo, I verbally paint pictures I'm the hood's best storyteller, (Yeah) This about a young boy, dealin with the older fellas, Promised him the lives, he see on TV, He ran packs across town, like rhyme CDs, And big chains, new clothes, Nike's and Reebok's, Stacking too much loot to squeeze in a shoe box, Saving, he promised his mom'z a crib in Atlanta, And his pops got killed through debt, he was a gambler, So he staged jazz, fox jump off the suit cases, No more cross-town, now he's crossing them states and, Seeing new faces, not knowing who to trust, So when the door kicked open they screamed "This is a bust", "Is it a set up?" it seemed funny, a scuffle broke out, He got hit, dropped the cases spitting blood out of his mouth, He walked four blocks to die...trying to survive, And now all that's left is his mom screaming "God Why?" Uh! Spraypaint and inkpens, I use to write in every color I think in, To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in, Yeah, the gallery is the beat and I.. I, I, I (Yeah, yeah) Lemme begin by saying... SHUT THE FUCK UP. Let me begin by saying, I don't think this man knew what he had in store, He opened the door and found the bag under the floor, Not a peep while he's working the lock, Get the flame, aim, pop, open the box and take off, Out the back of the pawn shop, scoping the lot, Hoping the cops hadn't seen the plates on his car, He felt like he'd been hustlin' so hard, Like a demon he pumped a cold heart, Play it cool like Humphrey Bogart, Put the rings on his chain attached by both parts, He did the drop, one ring in the bag, Envelope, all the money he had, Left the money and the ring in a slow exhale, Two weeks went by, got a box in the mail, In the box was a bullet made of gold, Melted down from the ring, recast with two rings and a band, And he stared at it, sitting in the palm of his hand, And sat down next to a picture that sat on the nightstand, It was his wife in the picture on his side, With the ring on her finger on the week that she died, As he looked in the reflection at those eyes so red, He put the bullet in a gun and put it right in his head, Like that.. Uh! Spraypaint and inkpens, I use to write in every color I think in, To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in, Yeah, the gallery is the beat and I.. I, I, I Uh! He knew that he didn't have enough power in his thrusters, To muster warp 5, Plus if he pushed it the fuel cells could rupture, And then they would die, Then the galaxy would suffer but he knew he had to try, (Lupe, Lupe) But he couldn't risk it, Put the cure in his escape pod and kissed it, And told her goodbye, she started to cry, But he knew if he could distract them he could buy her some time, And she could make it out alive, He turned the suit around and got prepared for the stand off, Space mine had blew one of the hands off, Damaged laser cannons, and he got the system jammin', He faced the whole fleet, Blood seeping through his teeth, The final saga in the seven planet wars, Unsheated the sword, and then he charged forward, His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass, He let out a laugh and all she heard was a blast like... Uh! Spraypaint and inkpens, I use to write in every color I think in, To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in, Yeah, the gallery is the beat and I.. I, I, I Yeah, ladies and gentleman this has been a Fort Minor production! Ghostface, Fiasco.. Spraypaint and inkpens, "It's an expression coming out of a simple can of paint." "Look, its the easiest way for a kid to get famous using himself as the medium!" "You're going to get into that gallery real soon man." "Word. I'm going to be famous one day..." "Why do you always say that?" "'Cause it's true!" Petrified (Doors Remix) "Strange days, have found us.." Fort Minor! We Major!

Like STOP... Bring it back, bring it back, We got that balance keepin' us on track, That you get when you're movin quick with no slow, You stare like you don't care, but you do though.

Petrified (what!), step aside, And just drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Listen you are not ready, Like children and a building you cant stand steady. It must be the beat so heavy, Causin' panic attacks like a crack in the levy. Give you that Robert Plant, Dancin' days are back, feelin all in the track, And infact? For those knowin' the name I'm back, With some brand new crack we can do it like that, You really must be so lonely, Puffed up like you're tough but so phony. You and your boys you don't know me, You really wanna hold me? Show me homie. Tough talk doesn't mean a thing, Get over yourself, you know when we're up in the scene, It's Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside, And we got everybody so petrified! Now why's everybody so petrified? (What!) Petrified (what!), step aside, And just drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Now why's everybody so petrified? (What!)

S.O.B Demigodz, Green Lantern, Scoop Deville This kid is only seventeen, man. He's about to be a problem! So let's get right to it and groove, It ain't nothing but a thing to get you people to move, Got em' lovin' the way we swing, when we step on the scene, You know we kill it, goin' all out, We about to g-g-g-g-g-get it, It's in my blood, I was born to spit it. The cord has kept me warm through the storms of winter. Ignore the pain, the struggle, when it's time for dinner, We huddle together and grind, rain or shine, Survive the weather, forget about changin spinners, Throw me a bone, I'm just trying to raise my litter. It made me bitter, eventually made me sicker, So when the heat's on, we don't get pre-game jitters, (uh-huh) We go to work man, diggin' the dirt, We took 'em to church with chicken and some teenage strippers, Livin' life by the seat of my pants, and three-peated we champs, Undefeated, we can't lose ever. Whoever wanted with us better roll with a camp, Be trust to cover your ass when your asses can't.

It's like this ya'll (c'mon!) This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights, He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic, He feels so unlike everybody else, alone, In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him, But fuck 'em, he knows the code, It's not about the salary, It's all about reality and makin' some noise, Makin' the story, makin' sure his clique stays up, That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go!(Let's go) Who the hell is he anyway? He never really talks much, Never concerned with status, but still leavin' them star struck, Humbled through opportunities, given to him despite the fact, That many misjudge him, because he makes a livin' from writin raps, Put it together himself, now the picture connects, Never askin' for someone's help, or to get some respect, He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach, And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist... This is twenty percent skill, Eighty percent beer, Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill, Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames, And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game", Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church, I like "Bleach" man, Ryu had the stupidest verse, This dude is the truth, now everybody be givin him guest spots, His stock's through the roof I heard he fuckin with S. Dot! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! They call him Ryu The Sick, And he's spittin' fire with Mike, Got him out the dryer he's hot, Found him in Fort Minor with Tak, Been a fuckin' annihilist porcupine, He's a prick, he's a cock, The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot, Eight years in the makin', patiently waitin to blow, Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe, He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope, You wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat... Tak! He's not your everyday on the block, He knows how to work with what he's got, Makin' his way to the top, People think it's a common owners name, People keep askin' him was it given at birth, Or does it stand for an acronym? No he's livin' proof, Got him rockin the booth, He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice, (juice) Him and his crew are known around as one of the best, Dedicated to what they doin' give a hundred percent... Forget Mike, nobody really knows how or why he works so hard, It seems like he's never got time, Because he writes every note and he writes every line, And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind, It's like a design is written in his head every time, Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme, And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that he signed? Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Petrified (what!), step aside, And just drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Listen you are not ready, Like children and a building you cant stand steady.

You and your boys you don't know me, You really wanna hold me? Show me homie. Tough talk doesn't mean a thing, Get over yourself, you know when we're up in the scene, It's Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside, And we got everybody so petrified!

He never really talks much, Never concerned with status, but still leavin' them star struck, Humbled through opportunities, given to him despite the fact, That many misjudge him, because he makes a livin' from writin raps, Put it together himself, now the picture connects, Never askin' for someone's help, or to get some respect, He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach, And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist... This is twenty percent skill, Eighty percent beer, Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill, Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames, And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game", Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church, I like "Bleach" man, Ryu had the stupidest verse, This dude is the truth, now everybody be givin him guest spots, His stock's through the roof I heard he fuckin with S. Dot! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! They call him Ryu The Sick, And he's spittin' fire with Mike, Got him out the dryer he's hot, Found him in Fort Minor with Tak, Been a fuckin' annihilist porcupine, He's a prick, he's a cock, The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot, Eight years in the makin', patiently waitin to blow, Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe, He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope, You wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat... Tak! He's not your everyday on the block, He knows how to work with what he's got, Makin' his way to the top, People think its a common owners name, People keep askin' him was it given at birth, Or does it stand for an acronym? No he's livin' proof, Got him rockin the booth, He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice, Him and his crew are known around as one of the best, Dedicated to what they doin' give a hundred percent... Forget Mike, nobody really knows how or why he works so hard, It seems like he's never got time, Because he writes every note and he writes every line, And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind, It's like a design is written in his head every time, Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme, And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that he signed? Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?! This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent concentrated power of will, Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! Yeah! Fort Minor! M. Shinoda! Styles Of Beyond! Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop! Right Now Someone right now, is leavin' their apartment, Looking down at the street, and wonderin' where their car went, Someone in a car, is sittin' at a signal, In front of a restaurant, starin' through the window, At someone right now, with their finger in their teeth, Who could use a little floss, right across the street, There's somebody on the curb, who really needs a jacket, But spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered, Now he's gotta walk 14 blocks, Just to work at a shop where he's about to get fired. Someone right now, is lookin' pretty tired, Staring at a laptop, tryin' to get inspired, As somebody living right across the street, Just wrote the best thing that she's written all week, But her best friend is coughing up blood in the sink, He can't even think what happened, feeling so confused, And he knows it looks bad but there's nothing he can do, I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes, but... Yo, I'm just takin' it in, Out the window of a hotel bedroom again, Tomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be back, But in this world everything can change just like that (like that) (just like that) (just like that) (just like that) Somebody right right now is droppin' his vote, Inside a box and tryin' not to get shot in his throat, For the act of freedom, Right now, somebody's stuck in Iraq, Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing, In a war, but he's not really sure of the reasons, So we show our support when the press mislead him, Though we mourn, remain proud, salute the troops, Get some, I know you boys got some work to do. Meanwhile, right now someone's 25-to-life-ing, Standing on a corner with their thumb up hitchhiking, Scratching off a lotto ticket, hopin' for a real winner, Sneaking through the border just to work and eat a real dinner, Right now, somoene wishes they were you and I, Instead of second-guessing fatal thoughts of quiet suicide, But right now I'm staring out the window at a fiend, With holes in his arm, and holes in his jeans, He pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light, And walked right around the corner just out of my sight, but... Yo, I'm just takin' it in, From a second story hotel window again, The T.V's on and my bags are packed, But in this world everything can change just like that (like that) (just like that) (just like that) (just like that)Yo, I'm just takin' it in, From a second story hotel window again, The T.V's on and my bags are packed, But in this world everything can change just like that (like that) (just like that) (just like that) (just like that) Yeah, right now somebody's sittin' in the darkness, Tryin' to figure how to put some heat in they apartment, But they got a little mattress, little carpet, And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench. You see 'em when you rushing to get to the office, Wife ride by 'em when she comin' home from the market, Right now somebody comin' out the pocket, Tryin' to dump that rock they runnin' 'round the block with, Same time, the cops is raisin' the glock, With aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shit. Right now somebody's strugglin' to stop this man, That's kickin' and punchin' and cussin' at the doctors. Down the hall a child is takin' it's breath, The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet, yo, I wonder if he understands what it's worth yet, Life, the time spent while we here on the earth yet, The answers to the questions we all seek, Can be found, it depend on how free y'all think, Right now, it's somebody who ain't eat all week, That would kill for the shit you throw away in the street, I guess one man's trash is the next man's treasure, One man's pain is the next man's pleasure, One say infinity, then next say forever, Right now, everybody got to get it together, man, I'm just takin' it in, In another strange hotel lobby again, With my luggage on my back, I don't know where I'm at, I'm in a world where it all change just like that (like that) (just like that) (just like that) (just like that) Yo, I'm just takin' it in, Out the window of a hotel bedroom again, Tomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be back, But in this world everything can change just like that (like that) (just like that) (just like that) (just like that) Petrified Ya'll are not not re-ready (no!),Not re-ready (no!), We about to drop it steady (so!), Do it like that, like that, like that, Like that, like that, like that, like that...

Bring it back, bring it back, We got that balance keepin us on track, That you get when you're movin' quick with no slow, You stare like you don't care, but you do though. I know, you really must be so lonely, Puffed up like you're tough but so phony. You and your boys you don't know me, You really wanna hold me? Show me homie. Let's get it over with for good, I got a friction addiction I wish you would, Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside, And we got everybody so petrified! Now why's everybody so petrified? (What!) Petrified (what!), step aside, And just drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Drop that! (cmon') Listen you are not ready, Like children and a building you cant stand steady. It must be the beat so heavy, Causin' panic attacks like a crack in the levy. Give you that Robert Plant, Dancin' days are back, feelin all in the track, And infact? For those knowin' the name I'm back, With some brand new crack we can do it like that, You really must be so lonely, Puffed up like you're tough but so phony. You and your boys you don't know me, You really wanna hold me? Show me homie. Tough talk doesn't mean a thing, Get over yourself, you know when we're up in the scene, It's Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside, And we got everybody so petrified!

(shop x10) Feel Like Home YeahThese days are dark and the nights are cold, People acting like they lost their soul, And everywhere I go I see another person like me, Trying to make it all feel like home (feel like home) These days are dark and the nights are cold, People acting like they lost their soul, And everywhere I go I see another person like me, Trying to make it all feel like home (feel like home) Standin' on the bridge in the dark and I'm seein' my breath, Tryin' to make it home without freezin' to death, And my grandfather's face is stuck in my mind and how, Seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time. I should've brought a jacket, Blowin' in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill, I buy a cup of cofee with a five dollar bill, thinkin', Layin' in that box people look so still, At times like these you start thinkin', Your first beath in, and your clock starts tickin', I'm not trying to bum anyone out, Not trying to be dramatic, just thinkin' out loud, I'm just tryin' to make some sense in my mind. Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside, and for a minute, Escape with some rhythm and rhyme, and, Get away from the grey, just a bit at a time. Yeah, kinda funny how this world can treat you, Like a freak in a sideshow, a carnival creature, Climbin' outta cans, I'm a diamond in the sand, But you can't tell the difference on a beach full of rhinestones, My life's like tryin' to swallow a pinecone. It's tough when you live fast, just to die slow, Talk to dial tones, my dreams are far-fetched, It seems, so I sleep underneath this park bench, I know it don't make sense, And I don't expect for you to know what it's like., Smoke, drink, piss, sniffing everything in my sight. Push rocks in a pipe, Liftoff, I keep puffin' 'til my lips turn white, And my chest gets tight, but who the fuck really cares, When you're so far left, that even death looks right. All I can do is hope for the best and pray, That it gets a little better than yesterday. (These) These days are dark and the nights are cold, People acting like they lost their soul, And everywhere I go I see another person like me, Trying to make it all feel like home (feel like home) These days are dark and the nights are cold, People acting like they lost their soul, And everywhere I go I see another person like me, Trying to make it all feel like home (feel like home) Yo, pardon me, I think I'm next to url, Too many problems goin' on, that's why I left my girl. Packed my bags and I traveled with a pen and my notepad, Pissed that I was broke and all the things that I don't have, But still, I try to find a way to escape, From all the hate planted in my head which lead to mistakes, But now I'm breakin' the mold, see I was patient and calm, Many sleep in the rain, but I'm awake in the storm, Writing my life in a short film, The Rise and Fall, How I managed to scorch hills, and climb the walls, Pound pavement, aimless in this cold existance, Even though things are changin', I'm goin' the distance, Overcomin' the doubt that had controlled for so long, And put it all behind me, 'cause life still goes on, Now I'm much stronger and know where I stand, While lost souls search over and over again. These days are dark and the nights are cold, People acting like they lost their soul, And everybody's tryin' not to cry, trin' to get by, And tryin' not too feel out of control, And if you look hard enough, Sometimes you'll find a place that might just remind you of home, But if it doesn't feel like home, You can do what I do, Just pretend you don't feel so alone. Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Where'd You Go Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. She said; "Some days I feel like shit, some days I wanna quit, And just be normal for a bit, I don't understand why you have to always be gone, I get along but the trips always feel so long, and, I find myself tryin' to stay by the phone, 'Cause your voice always helps me and I feel not so alone, But I feel like an idiot, working my day around a call, That when I pick up I don't have much to say, so, I want you to know it's a little fucked up, That I'm stuck here waiting, At times debating, telling you I've had it with you and your career, Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"." Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Please come back home. Come back home, you know that place where you used to live?, Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs, Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile, But now you only stop by every once in a while. (Shit) I find myself just filling my time, With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind, I'm doing fine, and I'm planning to keep it that way, And you can call me if you find that you have something to say, And I'll tell you; "I want you to know it's a little fucked up, That I'm stuck here waiting, At times debating, telling you that I've had it with you and your career. Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"." Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Please come back home. I want you know it's a little fucked up, That I'm stuck here waiting, No longer debating, Tired of sitting and hating and making these excuses, For why you're not around, and feeling so useless, It seems one thing has been true all along, You don't really know what you've got 'til it's gone, I guess I've had it with you and your career, When you come back I won't be here, And you can sing it. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Where'd you go? I miss you so, Seems like it's been forever, That you've been gone. Please come back homePlease come back home Please come back home Please come back home When you made me that initial batch of songs I was like, "That's the shit right there" Holla In Stereo "That beat is hard!" This is how it goes, Welcome one and all to the show, We’re wired up, fired up, fuckin' ready to go, In the back of the parking lot outside of the bar, Twenty deep, twenty feet from the boulevard, Black hoodies, black caps, black label in glasses, Previewin' the new shit before all the masses, 'Cause the first thing I need when I got a new beat, Is to see how it sounds echoin' off the street, I just take it for a spin, pop the CD in, Slide it up to ten and get that rear view shakin', And play it again so there’s no mistakin', San Andreas the block get this bitch earthquakin' like..OH! Oh-oh! Ready for it? Here we go, We got the whole block rockin' in stereo, We're takin' control, lettin' everybody know, And if you feel it lemme hear everybody go, Oh-Oh! You’re not ready, I got plenty cuts, For twenty months dropped steadily, Plenty tracks to empty on your wack pedigree, I’m backed heavily, while you’re back peddling, Forget the chit chat on me homie, kick back, I’m on that shit that can get your homie bitchslapped, So zip your lip back, listen and watch, We got the whole block rockin' off the way the beat knocks, You dont have to warn the people on the corner, they know, That if you’re standing on that corner then you’re getting that show, World premiering you're hearing that machine shop flow, San Andreas the block get this bitch earthquakin' like..OH! Oh...oh! Ready for it? Here we go, We got the whole block rockin' in stereo, We're takin' control, lettin' everybody know, And if you feel it lemme hear everybody go, Oh...oh!Ready for it? Here we go, We got the whole block rockin' in stereo, We're takin' control, lettin' everybody know, And if you feel it lemme hear everybody go, Turn the key, turn the volume up to loud, Roll right, roll every window down, Let the whole block know what this is about, Turn it up, ya'll, burn that system out, Turn the key, turn the volume up to loud, Roll right, roll every window down, Let the whole block know what this is about, Turn it up, ya'll, burn out that system like OH! Oh...oh! Ready for it? Here we go, We got the whole block rockin' in stereo, We're takin' control, lettin everybody know, And if you feel it lemme hear everybody go, Oh...oh! Ready for it? Here we go, We got the whole block rockin' in stereo, We're takin' control, lettin everybody know, And if you feel it lemme hear everybody go, Oh...oh! Let’s go ahead and test out the speakers, you ready? Let’s go, like this! Back Home Uh! Yeah...yo, We about to take ya'll to the tip, to the crib... Let's do it Mike! Yeah! Back home (back home), Everybody's searching for somethin', But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin', Back home (back home), Ain't nobody hopin' and prayin', 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em, And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact, That life goes black when those lights go out, But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own, 'Cause ain't a damn thing free back home! (Back home) Back home, they holler "disciple" and "blackstone", Same block they freebase yo we trapped on, Where our grandmothers marched, the guns clap on, There's liquor stores, beauty supplies, and rap songs, I travel the world just to come back to it, The crib got a lot of soul like black music, I'm attached to it, In many ways the city raised me, and gave me, The drama, honor, and bravery, The streets seem hollow, when I go to Chicago, It's cheap wine and sorrow, Times is hard to swallow, In search of God's tomorrow, I borrow words from the, Bible, and use them for survival, gangs rival, Signs painted on walls like hieroglyphics, I tell 'em that this is all tribal, Used to do dirt, shorty's goin' through the same cycle, And trials like Michael, tryin' not to stay idle! Back home (back home), Everybody's searching for somethin', But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin', Back home (back home), Ain't nobody hopin' and prayin', 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em, And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact, That life goes black when those lights go out, But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own, 'Cause ain't a damn thing free back home! (Back home) Back home it's not Compton but close, The same problems exist and the pain throbbin', And folks are so common, It don't, really bother us much we just swallow it (uh!), Crack the bottle and smoke, hope tomorrow something, Magical happens that'll put me back in the biz, But the chances of it actually happening's kinda slim, Back home, we get the good life at a glimpse, In the form of a rap star, drug dealers, and pimps, I'm back home! Back home, I try my best to keep it together it's cold, (cold) Like the Windy City streets of December, I pace back and forth, looking for the courage to shine, But can't tap the source, need something to nourish my mind, I know we all lose quite a bit in life, Only to gain some, Life of the dark winding roads we came from, But I move with the night, so I'm used to the shade, And never lose sight, bringing truth back to the game! Back home, we've got a lot of shit on our minds, We're always behind on something cause there's not enough time, And we're non-stop, bottom line, doing what we gotta do, To get some food in the fridge and stay out of the hospital, Back home there's people calling us hopeless, People trying to tell us all we need is some focus, But focus, Focus is overrated, Cause you see every blemish and mistake and can't change it, Back home is Alvarado, K-Town and J-Town, Or Little Tokyo for those that don't know, Where figures shiver, living right in the litter, Where kids write bigger, right inside the LA river, On the concrete, a symbol of our everyday way, Its that color and concentration over heavy and grey, And by the time the ink dries on this page, I'll be half a day away from the place where I stay! Back home (back home), Everybody's searching for somethin', But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin', Back home (back home), Ain't nobody hopin' and prayin', 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em, And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact, That life goes black when those lights go out, But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own, 'Cause ain't a damn thing free back home! (Back home) We takin it back home ya'll, Yeah it's Common Sense (yeah!), My guy Mike (what up Com'?), S.O.B. (uh-huh), Yeah, this is how we rotate, It's good music (ha ha ha), Hip-hop (don't stop!), yeah Uh, it's home for me baby...yeah! Cigarettes Yeah..go ahead and uh, cue those special effects..(haha) Yeah.. Man I love this rap game, Mainly 'cause its cool to add a little, Spice to the life you've been through, Everyone exaggerates a tiny little bit, Make that shit sound more gangster than it really is, You cant appear weak, man, we wanna hear street, We wanna hear you spit your thug over this here beat, Don't take it as sarcastic, I can't get enough, I'm telling you, You can call my bluff, if it's not rough, Then I really don't need it, I'm not even ashamed, I got too much reality thats filling up my brain, So sell me on the product, I'm addicted to the game, Suck it up like a cigarette, light it up man... Its just like a cigarette, its something that I do, Once in a while but between me and you, Its just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled, I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool! Let me tell you something that I realized tonight, My hip hop radio's like Marlboro Light, They're both selling stories, And they sound about the same, Cigarettes say their safe, Rappers claim they really bang, We dont care if it's true, when we lay the money down, We don't believe the words, We just love the way they sound, They're acting like we're idiots, they're lying to our face, Maybe we are idiots, we buy it anyway, I'm runnin out to get the next rapper's CD, just, Suckin up the guns, drugs, and misogyny, The same way that I suck up all the stories when I breathe, That little bit of death supposedly cancer-free, And everything they say's got the truth twisted up but, Twisted up's what I want man, I can't get enough, 'Cause even though we know it's all just a big bluff, We just light another up, what, We don't give a fuck! Its just like a cigarette, its something that I do, Once in a while but between me and you, Its just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled, I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool!Its just like a cigarette, its something that I do, Once in a while but between me and you, Its just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled, I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool! Man, listen to my words, listen for awhile, Lip Service radio, dont touch the dial, If you're in the car, turn up the track, man, Give your whole neighborhood some second hand rap, hey, Matter of a fact, listen for awhile, Lip Service radio, dont touch the dial, If you're in the car man turn up the track, and, Give the whole neighborhood some second hand rap! Its just like a cigarette, its something that I do, Once in a while but between me and you, Its just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled, I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool! Its just like a cigarette, its something that I do, Oh, for real, but between me and you, Its just like a cigarette, nobody's really fooled, I don't want the truth, I wanna feel fucking cool! Believe Me Yeah I guess, That this is where we've come to, If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! Yo, I don't want to be the one to blame, you like fun and games, Keep playing 'em, I'm just sayin', Think back then we was like one and the same, On the right track, but I was on the wrong train, It's like that, now you gotta face the pain, And the devil's got a fresh new place to play, In your brain like a maze you can never escape, The rain, every damn day is the same shade of grey. Hey, I used have a little bit of a plan, used to, Have a concept of where I stand, But that concept slipped right out of my hand and now, I don't really even know who I am, yo, What do I have to say, Maybe, I should do what I have to do to break free and, What ever happens to you, we'll see, But it's not gonna happen with me. I guess, That this is where we've come to, (Yeah) If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, (Yeah) Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! Back then, I thought you were just like me, Somebody who could see all the pain I see, But you proved to me unintentionally, That you would self-destruct, eventually, Now I'm faking like the mistake I made doesn't hurt, But it's not gonna work, 'cause it's really much worse than I thought, I wished you were something that you were not, And now this guilt is really all that I got. Uh, you turn your back and walk away in shame, All you got is a memory of pain, Nothing makes sense so you stare at the ground, And hear my voice in my head when no one else is around, So what do I have to say, Maybe, I should do what I have to do to break free and, Whatever happens to you, we'll see, But it's not gonna happen to me, I guess, That this is where we've come to, (Yeah) If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, (Yeah) Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! I guess, That this is where we've come to, (Yeah) If you don't want to, Then you don't have to believe me, But I, Won't be there when you go down, (Yeah) Just so you know now, You're on your own now, Believe me! I'll do what I have to do, (You're on your own now believe me) Whatever happens to you, (You're on your own now believe me) What do I have to say, (You're on your own now believe me) It's not gonna happen to me, (You're on your own now believe me) (Yeah) So, here's the thing... Get Me Gone "The dude, he said that, like, when we were making the first Linkin Park record He was like, 'Yeah you know, I don't know about the rapping like, I don't know if it's... maybe you should just be a rock band.' You know what I mean, like, trying to change us, Like they signed us as an act, like what we sound like, and then he's like (Yeah) 'Oh I don't know maybe you should just play keyboard'." Before the first song that you heard me on, There were people already tryin' to get me gone, Tellin' me to quit rapping, just play the keys, that "My band had a singer", "They didn't need me", But my band had my back, So we did the tracks, put out the album, And the talk went flat, It was funny at first, but then the humour faded, When some magazines printed that our label made us, We were too be good to be true, Some were saying ghost writers were writin' all that we do, So we had to disprove it, we spelled it out, To the detail, how we do it, when we're making this music, After that I made it a rule: I only do e-mail responses to print interviews, Because these people love to put a twist to your words, To infer that you said something fucking absurd. Oh, did I lose you at 'infer'? Not used to hearing a verse that uses over first grade vocabulary words? People used to 'infer' that we were manufactured, Now I've got the interviews on file, Which people said what, which number to dial, So now every enemy screaming insanity, All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me, (Bitch!) (*Laughter*) "Can you believe that?

(Not gonna work today) Kenji "My father came from Japan in 1905, He was 15 when he immigrated from Japan, He worked until he was able to buy - to actually build a store.." Let me tell you a story in the form of a dream, I don't know why I have to tell it but I know what it means, Close your eyes and just picture the scene, as I paint it for you, It was World War II when this man named Kenji woke up, Ken was not a soldier, he was just a man with a family, Who owned a store, In LA, that day, He crawled out of bed like he always did, Bacon and eggs with wife and kids, He lived on the second floor of a little store he ran, He moved to LA from Japan, They called him 'Immigrant,' in Japanese, He'd say he was called "Iisei," that meant, 'First Generation In The United States,' when, Everybody was afraid of the Germans, afraid of the "Japs", But most of all afraid of a homeland attack, And that morning when Ken went out on the doormat, His world went black 'cause, Right there; front page news, Three weeks before 1942, "Pearl Harbour's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Coming," Pictures of soldiers dying and running, Ken knew what it would lead to, And just like he guessed, the president said, "The evil Japanese in our home country would be locked away," They gave Ken, a couple of days, To get his whole life packed in two bags, Just two bags, He couldn't even pack his clothes, And some folks didn't even have a suitcase, To pack anything in, So two trash bags is all they gave them, When the kids asked mom "Where are we going?" Nobody even knew what to say to them, Ken didn't wanna lie, He said "The US is looking for spies, So we have to live in a place called Manzanar, Where a lot of Japanese people are.", Stop it don't look at the gunmen! You don't wanna get the soldiers wondering, If you're gonna run or not 'cause if you run then you might get shot, Other than that try not to think about it, Try not to worry 'bout it; bein' so crowded, Someday we'll get out, someday, someday. "Yeah, soon as war broke out, the F.B.I. came and...they just come to the house, and, 'You have to come.', 'All the Japanese have to go", they took Mr. Ni, The people couldn't understand, 'Why did they have to take him, Because he's just an innocent laborer?' " So now they're in a town with soldiers surrounding them, Every day, every night, looked down at them, From watchtowers up on the wall, Ken couldn't really hate them at all, They were just doing their job and, He wasn't gonna make any problems, He had a little garden, vegetables and fruits that he gave to the troops, In a basket his wife made, But in the back of his mind, he wanted his family's life saved, Prisoners of war in their own damn country, What for? And time passed in the prison town, he wondered, If he'd live it down if and when they were free, The only way out was joining the army, and supposedly, Some men went out for the army, signed on, And ended up flying to Japan with a bomb, That fifteen kiloton blast, put an end to the war pretty fast, Two cities were blown to bits, The end of the war came quick, And Ken got out, Big hopes of a normal life, with his kids and his wife, but, Then they got back to their home, and, What they saw made them feel so alone, These people had trashed every room, Smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors, Written on the walls and the floor: "Japs not welcome anymore.", And Kenji dropped both of his bags at his sides and just stood outside, He, looked at his wife without words to say, She looked back at him wiping tears away, And, said "Someday we'll be okay, someday," Now the names have been changed, but the story's true, My family was locked up back in '42, My family was there it was dark and damp, And they called it an "internment camp". "When we first got back from camp, it was pretty, pretty bad." "I remember my husband said, 'Oh we're gonna stay 'til last.' Then my husband died before they closed the camp." Red To Black Whoa, whoaWhoa, whoa Whoa I had a friend named Victor The two of us used to hang every single day And it seemed like overnight that his whole life / just changed I know when his mom and dad broke up / it didn't make sense But I know that his dad was a drunk and he gambled away the rent Pretty soon Vic was seeing red / pissed off / but instead (Whoa) He'd drink every night 'til he passed out (Whoa) Then he'd do it all again The whole time / smiling on the outside to cover the pain (Whoa) But on the inside / all he was trying to do was get away (Whoa) He's dying to get away Let the pain of yesterday Go slipping through the cracks...

You ever feel like the pressure is too much to take, Too much weight? Ladies and gentleman, If anybody can hear me right now please shout back, We're not the only one's feeling so trapped, In a dream of somebody else...infact, They got their heads full of some overblown scheme, Opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen, And all they wanna do is push you to be that, And all you wanna do is scream back...

Why are you doubting yourself?

The lyrics of this song VERY strongly imply that this isn't all that's in store for Fort Minor.

I know what happened. Just joking around. What happened was bullshit, but whatever. Labels.

This is, like, the fifth discussion topic change today Really good song. I'm enjoying it.

Welp, castro doesn't like the song. Anyone who does MUST be nothing more than a fanboy who couldn't possibly genuinely like the song.

In 110 years, we'll have another album

I'm aware. That's why I said I couldn't wait for them.

A Cappella? Instrumental? Fuck yes. Can't wait for that.

mind Can't turn back when you cross the line Sometimes it's someone you know who just doesn't care Has to see you go to know you were there This is the sun behind the rain Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute May've begun to run an endless race But I never looked back When I begin it Know that this is the sun behind the rain Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute May've begun to run an endless race But I never looked back When I begin it I know all of this will soon be gone You don't really have to prove them wrong Sometimes you've got no control of where you go Taking you down a road you don't know And you feel so lost that you wanna hide your face You don't recognize the place you're in Sometimes the sun doesn't shine your way Sometimes the night doesn't turn to day Sometimes the light's so bright it burns through the night and keeps the darkness at bay (Run away) This is the sun behind the rain Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand

begun to run an endless race But I never looked back When I begin it I know all of this will soon be gone You don't really have to prove them wrong I know soon enough you'll make them see You'll be far away from them with me Follow the link in the chain without a name Seal the light and the darkened days remains Taken away from the place you've been trapped Break all you know then bring it all back This is the sun behind the rain Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute May've begun to run an endless race But I never looked back When I begin it Know that this is the sun behind the rain Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute May've begun to run an endless race But I never looked back When I begin it I know all of this will soon be gone You don't

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-dCall me back Peace Frgt/10 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 rot 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 'em on 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 offspring 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 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 and minimum wage Living in a tenement cage for innocent pay 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 P5hng Me

everything you wanted to This is the last time That 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 stay when you Just push away No matter what you see You're still so blind to me Reverse psychology is failing miserably It's 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 there's 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 stay when you Just push away No

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 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 that 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) 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 your options You're making a fool of me (No) You didn't dare to 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) No I'm not upset, no I'm not angry I know love is love, love but sometimes it pains me (No) 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) 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, even when I close my eyes Ppr:kut Uh, yeahAh 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 It 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've 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 I don't know whom I can trust, They're screaming my name I need somebody to help me out of the frame All I'm trying to do is just master me All I'm tryin' to do is smoke and blast a beat But something keeps on talking to me consciously, Responsibly keeps haunting me From dusk til dawn everything has something for ya That voice has got you projecting paranoia Cold sweat, shining on your face exposing your purpose And if I ripped off your skin I'd probably find a, another person There`s nothing worse than trying to bring 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 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 It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's

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 / No turning back now) The very worst part of you The very worst part of you Is me Hit The Floor There are just too many Times that people Have tried to look inside of me Wondering what I think of you When 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've said about me When I'm not around You think having the upper hand Means you've got to keep putting me down But I've had too many stand-offs with you It's about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand Is mine One minute you're on top The next you're not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute you're on top The next you're not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you won And then it's all gone So many people like me Put so much trust in all your lies So concerned with 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 like you've crossed 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 It's about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand Is mine One minute you're on top The next you're not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute you're on top The next you're not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you 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 One minute you're on top The next you're not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute you're on top The next you're not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you 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 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 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 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 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 would 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 Is so much simpler than change 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've 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 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 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 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 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 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 will distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again ‘Cause from the infinite words I could say / I Put all the pain you gave to me on

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 You 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

Just caught in the undertow) I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly Afraid to lose control ‘Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take I've become so numb I can't feel you

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 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? 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 mic 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 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? I'm standing in the middle of it Middle of it Middle of it Middle of it Middle of it If someone could take a look at Nobody's Listening when they get a chance and help me in figuring out how to transcribe the scratched/effected vocal samples, that'd be really nice and helpful.

That is something I've been thinking about piecing together and writing...
