Linkin Park

Yo, yo
Forfiet the game, before somebody
takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Wont last, wont last, wont last...

You love the way, I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride, is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
Learned, learned, learned,
learned, learned(echo fade)

You love the things, I say I'll do
The way I hurt myself again,
just to get back at you
You take away, when I give in
My life, my pride, is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna' share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

Yo, yo
Forfiet the game, before somebody takes
you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfiet the game,
before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Wont last, wont last, wont last...

You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone

Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh

Hey yo when this first started off
it was just Linkin Park
Then in the middle came Motion Man
And at the end of it all it was Kutmasta Kut wit a remix

one thing i don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
when I was obsessed with time
all i know, time was just slipping way
and i watched it count down till the end of the day
watched it watch me and the words that i say
the echo of the clock rhythm in my veins
i know that i didn't look out below
and i watched the time go right out the window
trying to grab hold, trying not to watch
i wasted it all on the hands of the clock
but in the end no matter what i pretend
the journey is more important than the end or the start
and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when i tried so hard

i tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesnt even matter
i had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesnt even matter

yo one thing, one thing i don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind i designed this rhyme to explain the due time
all i know, time to so-socialize like the host of the party
all for shake and made eye contact
party control showing all that
northeast, southwest coast
stand out the window, no opportunity to mingle
i tried to show her,
if you could just sense a middle disorder
i brought you back of the thing
like the imaginary man of your dreams
well, you would always seem to make it worth it
a sleek skin i never nerved you
you felt lovin, i never applied a room
without bringing the plan
by any means and means of leaving you teens,
of all those teenage scenes, i tried so hard

i tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesnt even matter
i had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesnt even matter

linkin park, remix, Mo Mo Mo Motion Man
linkin park, in the end, Kutmasta Kutmasta Kut Kutmasta Kurt
linkin park, remix, Mo Mo Motion Man
linkin park, in the end, Kutmasta Kurt

one thing i don't know how
it doesn't even matter when you look at it now
because when i designed this rhyme i was scared of it all
scared to fall, i hadn't even tried to crawl
and i was forced to run, with you mocking me
stopping me, back stabbing me constantly
remembering all those times you fought with me
watch the clock now chop full of hypocrisy
and now your mouth wishes it could inhale
every single little thing you said and make it expel
every single word you sputter just to get your piece,
but it really doesn't matter to me
because from the start to the end no matter what i pretend
the journey is more important than the end or the start
and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when i tried so hard

i tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesnt even matter
i had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesnt even matter
in the end

Whats up evich, glad you could keep me uhh detailed
Please enter your pa..

Yo Mike, This is Chali 2na, whats up man?
I'm just trying to catch up witch ya so we can go on here
and get this song on the roll, pop a d...haha call me back

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 of the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care

In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
I'm nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watching the wheels of cars that pass I look past
To the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rock with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday I'm hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again

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 convenants causing an urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls with dark holds
Get more then 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 aid, and minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like a permanent 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

When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me

Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time,
left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down
Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time,
left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down

I've lied
To you
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down)
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time,
left to watch it all unwhind)
For sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

I've tried
Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find,
we're outta time, left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Reverse phsycology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
Theres 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 (why)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

I wanna be in another place, I hate when you say you dont
understand, I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy,
a place for my head.

I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night,
shining with the light from the sun, the sun doesnt give
light to the moon, assuming the moons gonna owe it one, and
makes think of how you act to me, you do favors that
rapidly, you just turn around and start asking me about
things you want back from me, Im sick of the tension, sick
of the hunger, sick of you acting like I owe you this, find
another place to feed your greed, while I find a place to
rest, Im sick of the tension, sick of the hunger, sick of
you acting like I oweyou this, find another place to feed
your greed, while I find a place to rest.

I wanna be in another place, I hate when you say you dont
understand, I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy,
a place for my head. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna

Two, Two, Three, Three, Ya, Ya, Ya, Gimme ???

I wanna be in another place, I hate when you say you dont
understand, I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy,
a place for my head. You try to get the best of me, go away,
go away, go away, you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away, you try to take the
best of me, go away, you try to take the best of me, go
away, you try to take the best of me, go away, you try to
take the best of me, go away, you try to take the best of
me, go away, you try to take the best of me, go away, you
try to take the best of me.

You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night

Hybrid

I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them
what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees
who hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

High Voltage
The unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw

High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

And like the rock and rap
You know what i mean
People act like you know
Wow that’s a new invention
That shits brand new
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing

Sometimes...

There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with labels
There ain’t no label for this shit
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something
So they can water it down

Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease

Hey Mike, whats up? this is Ron, ya know, last week in the chatroom.
I was just touchin a face, see how your Easter went. Umm
I was seein if you gonna see Joe soon too,
he has my keyboard that i've been trying to get back.
I've been trying to call him,
and he hasnt been returning any message's so if ya see him give an angle to uh get it back.

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
You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you

Why does it feel like night today,
something in here's not right today
Why I am 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, a face that awakes
when I close my eyes
Face that watches every time I lie,
face that laughs every time I fall
and watches everything
So I know that when its time to sink or swim
The face inside is hearing me right beneath my skin

Its like I'm paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin

Hey yo, here we go again with the pain
I feel isn't real but in my mind
But I find myself in places with names, but not faces
My memory races at speeds hundred degrees
My soul it bleeds devil must have planted the seed
Now it feels like my backs against the wall,
I'm taking the fall
Whenever I call nobody's responding at all
But I don't know who I could trust they screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the flame

All I'm trying to do is just master me
all I want to do is smoke a blaster beat
but something keeps talking to me consciously
responsibly it keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn
Everything has something for ya
That voice inside of your head got you projecting Paranoia!
cold sweat shining on your face exposing your purpose and if I
ripped off your skin I'll probably find another verse
Its 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

Its like I'm paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin (x2)
The face inside is right beneath your skin (x4)

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down

Its like I'm Parnoid!

I feel the light betray me
The sun ahhhhhhhhhh

Its like I'm paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin (x2)

I don't think y'all ready
Yo I don't think y'all ready

Graffiti decorations under a sky of grey
this constant apprehension still giving me away
the lessons I have forgotten
in spite of all I've learned
now I find myself in question
they point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
you point the finger at me again

I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth (I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers (I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door (and open up my mind)
and open up my mind

Paperbags and angry voices under a sky of grey
this constant apprehension won't seem to go away
all my talk of starting over
these words were never true
now I find myself in question

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

I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth (I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers (I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door (and open up my mind)
and open up my mind (and open up my mind)

Gonna runwaway gonna runaway

Ya'll not ready
Hey yo
I don't think your all ready for what I am about to do
You all new schooled dudes that don't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Cool Herc and Jazzy Jay they paved the way
Let me spit at you all who said I wasn't going to make it
Every time I blazed, ya'll the first to hate it
My team really keep supreme to stay strong
That's the true serious son, they're scared to put us on
Cant get with hybrids get off your hiatus
Too many artists dieing for us so I got to blaze it
I'm still repreking brooklyn D and on
hell fire and family alienation
Banging hits in the backyard on the LP song
I'm the new communicate
Phoenix Orion

I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth (I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers (I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door (and open up my mind)
and open up my mind (and open up my mind)

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the
Things I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need

And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the things
I said to you

And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

Yo, what up? Its Stef, call me up.
I'm gonna be in town all this week,
so uhh if you wanna get that track takin care of, let
me know. Call me on my cell, later.

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I / sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red ? handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily fade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself

I can't look around
It's too much to take in
I can't hold on
When I'm stretched so thin
I can't slow down
Watching everything spin
I can't look past
It's starting over again

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me teill everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself

I can't look around
It's too much to take in
I can't hold on
When I'm stretched so thin
I can't slow down
Watching everything spin
I can't look past
It's starting over again

Don't you...
Don't you (Know)
I can't tell you how to make it (Go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (Try)
I can't seem to convince myself (Why)
I'm stuck on the outside

I'd like to introduce
In your sound institute of invention of
reliable audio weapon system
Lets, lets try (gescratched)
Lets try something else
Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight,
night, night
Break it down
Using the waves of sound
A true master paralize's his opponent,
leaving him vulnerable to attack
Mr. Hahn

I'm about to break
I'm about to break
Need room to breathe
Need room to breathe
Need room to breathe

I cannot take this anymore.
Saying everything I said before.
All these words they make no sense,
I find bliss in ignorance,
The less I hear the less you say,
You'll find that out anyway.
I find the answers aren't so clear.
I wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense,
I found bliss in ignorance,
Nothing seems to go away,
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Just Like Before

Everything you say to me
and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
and I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
and I'm about to break

These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it peels.
During this frightly concurring balmy night.
Waiting alone, I cannot resist.
Filling this hate I have never missed.
Raise up my memory, a reason to rip off my face.
Blood is pouring
and pouring (x9)

SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
Shut up
And it's pouring
Shut up
And it's pouring
Shut up
And it's pouring
SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
Shut up
And it's pouring
Shut up
And it's pouring
Shut up
And it's pouring
Shut up
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
and I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
and I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
and I'm about to

I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

* Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time
left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

* Repeat

* Repeat

We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing

* Repeat

* Repeat

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt

it goes

[
]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobodys listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you dont want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobodys listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything lefts a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone elses more
Im riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that its better I cant keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you

[

(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear

Told you everything loud and clear

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill s

I am
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 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 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 cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Take's me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I've found the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts. they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Take's me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Take's me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK (echo)

Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut ... UP!
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK!

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface,
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(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)

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've 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 there
I've 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

And I know I may end up failing too,
But I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've 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

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I don't know who to trust
No surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts sift through dust
And the lies

(Trying not to break)
(But I'm so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself)
(Get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how)
(Trying to put my trust in you)
(Just takes so much out of me)

I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

Tension is building inside
Steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Heavy thoughts forcing their way
Out of me

I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

I won't waste myself on you
Waste myself on you


I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface,
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(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)

I ordered a frapuccino,

where is my fuckin' frapuccino!

All right lets do this.



When I pretend

everything is what I want it to be

I look exactly like what you had always

wanted to see

When I pretend,

I can't forget about the criminal I am

Stealing second after second

just cause I know I can but

I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay I'm just

Trying to bend the truth

I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm

Lying my way from



If you feelin like a pimp nigga,

Ladies is pimps too,

Niggaz is crazy baby,

don't forget that boy told you

Get, that, dirt off your shoulder



I probably owe it to y'all,

proud to be locked by the force

Tryin to hustle some things,

that go with the Porsche

Feelin no remorse,

feelin like my hand was forced

Middle finger to the law,

nigga grip'n my balls

All the ladies they love me,

from the bleachers they screamin

All the ballers is bouncin

they like the way I be leanin

All the rappers be hatin,

off the track that I'm makin

But all the hustlers

they love it just to see one of us make it

Came from the bottom the bottom,

to the top of the pots

Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block

Like a running back,

get it man, I'm straight off the block

I can run it back nigga

cause I'm straight with the Roc



If you feelin like a pimp nigga,

go and brush your shoulders off

Ladies is pimps too,

Your homey Hov' in position,

in the kitchen with soda

I just whipped up a watch,

tryin to get me a Rover

Tryin to stretch out the coca,

like a wrestler, yessir

Keep the Heckler close,

you know them smokers'll test ya

But like, fifty-two cards when I'm,

I'm through dealin Now

fifty-two bars come out,

now you feel 'em Now,

fifty-two cars roll out,

remove ceiling In case

fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin

with a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve

At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen

I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean

No chrome on the wheels, I'm a balla for real, cheea



Yeah, I remember what they taught to me

Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be

Remember listening to all of that and this again

So I pretended up a person who was fittin' in

And now you think this person really is me and I'm

Trying to bend the truth

But the more I push the more I'm pulling away

'cuz I'm



Lying my way from you

No no turning back now

I wanna be pushed aside so let me go

No no turning back now

Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone

No turning back now

Anywhere on my own cuz I can see

No no turning back now

The very worst part of you

The very worst part of you is ME



This isn't what I wanted to be,

I never thought that what I said would

have you running from me

The very worst part of you is me



Biatch!!!

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit 'em up, numerous
shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots wanna talk to Po-Po's, smoke 'em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck that, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin, glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin shocked when the bullet hit
Hey ma, how you, know niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna "Fuck for Free" like Akinyele
Take this ride, make you feel it inside your belly
If it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I am, a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody 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've got

[Vese 3: Jay-Z]
Got a condo with nothin but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin the shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoes, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, causer Your Majesty, just happened to be
A pimp, what a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked with friends
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit.
there's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on in!"

[Verse 4: Mike Shinoda]
I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Cuz you don't understand I do what I can
Sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I, let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend that I'm not
I'll be here cause you're all that I've got

[Chester Bennington]
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

Now, 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 tell
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!
You're far to kind.


Can I get an encore? Do you want more?
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So, for one last time I need y’all to roar

Now, what the hell are you waiting for?
After me, there shall be no more
So, for one last time nigga make some noise

(Get'em Jay)

Who you know fresher than Hov?
Riddle me that
The rest of y’all know where I’m lyrically at
Can’t none of y’all mirror me back
Yeah, hearin’ me rap is like hearin’ G. Rap in his prime
I’m young H.O.: Rap’s Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe?now break bread
I’m in Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you young what the fuck you expect? (yep, yep)
Grand openin’?grand closin’
God damn, your man Hov cracked the can open again
Who you gon’ find doper than him with no pen?
Just draw off inspiration (shon)
Soon you gon’ see you can’t replace him (him)
With cheap imitations for dese generations

Can I get a encore? Do you want more?
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So, for one last time people I need y’all to roar

Now, what the hell are you waiting for?
After me, there shall be no more
So, for one last time nigga make some noise

Now,what the hell are you waiting for?

(Sighs)
Look what you made me do, look what I made for you.
Knew if I paid my dues how will they pay you?
When you first come in the game they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits?look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years
As fate would have it Jay’s status appears
To be at an all-time high?perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan wearin’ the 4 5
It ain’t to play games with you
It’s to aim at you?probably maim you
If I owe you I’ll blow you to smithereens
Cocksucka’, take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales to sold-out concerts
So muhfucker, if you want this encore
I need you to scream ‘til your lungs get sore

I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
(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 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

I’ve become so numb (stretch)
(Can I get a encore? Do you want more?) (more, more, more, more)
I’ve become so numb
(So, for one last time, I need y’all to roar)
(one last time, I need y’all to roar)

In this farewell,
There’s no blood,
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…


What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

For What I’ve Done

I start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I’m forgiving what I’ve done.

I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.
(Na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na)
What I’ve done.
What I’ve done.

Forgiving What I’ve Done.

mic up louder i got to say something

lightweights step it aside when we come in

feel it in your chest / the syllables get pumping

people on the street they panic and start running

words on loose leaf sheet complete coming

i jump in my mind and summon the rhyme i'm dumping

healing the blind i promise to let the un in

sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping

f--- that / i wanna see some fists pumping

rick something / take back what's yours

say sometime that you know they might attack you for

cause i'm sick of being treated like i have before

like it;s stupid standing for what i'm standing for
like this war's really just a different brand of war
like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
like they understand you in the back of the jet

when you can't put gas in your tank / and these
f--kers are laughing their way to the bank / cashing the check asking ou to have compassion

have respect for aleader so nervous in an obvious way

stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

in their living room laughting like
what did he say

In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've Done

Ha Ha
You're wasting your talent, Randy

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

Why does it look like night today?
Something inside's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's ike a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face watches every time I lie
Face that laughs every time they fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid 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

You know I - thug em, fuck em, love em, leave em
Cause I don't fuckin need em
Take em out the hood, keep em lookin good
But I don't fuckin feed em
First time they fuss I'm breezin
Talkin bout, "What's the reasons?"
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch
Better trust than believe em
In the cut where I keep em
til I need a nut, til I need to beat the guts
Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin em up
Let em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just because you got good head, I'ma break bread
so you can be livin it up? Shit I..
parts with nothin, y'all be frontin
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin, never happen
I'll be forever mackin
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion
I got no patience
And I hate waitin..
Hoe get yo' ass in

And let's RI-I-I-I-I-IDE.. check em out now
RI-I-I-I-I-IDE, yeah
And let's RI-I-I-I-I-IDE.. check em out now
RI-I-I-I-I-IDE, yeah

We doin.. big pimpin, we spendin G's
Check em out now
Big pimpin, on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin.. big pimpin up in N.Y.C.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-N B
Yo yo yo.. big pimpin, spendin G's
We doin - big pimpin, on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin.. big pimpin up in N.Y.C.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-N B (b...)

Jigga what, Jigga who?
Jigga what, Jigga who?
Jigga what, Jigga who?

You gon' need a vocal in, right?

Chea
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit em with numerous
shots with the four four
Faggots wanna talk to Po-Po's, smoke em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck that, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin, glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin shocked when the bullet hit
Oh hey ma, how you, know niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna Fuck for Free like Akinyele
Take this ride, make you feel it
inside your belly, if it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me

I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see
these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe
this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got

Got a condo with nuttin but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroll
See how I was flowin on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin n shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, causer Your Majesty, just happened to be
A pimp with a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked her friend
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit..
there's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on in!"

I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make
sense
I am what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear
me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

No
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Yeah, Thank you thank you thank you, you're far to kind!
Whoo! Aha, uh, whoo, yeah! ready? whoo!
Whoo, Whoo

예, 감사 감사 감사 감사, 너무 친절하시군요!
우! 아, 어, 우, 예! 준비됐어? 우!
우 우

Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
uh uh uh uh

이제 난 앵콜을 받을 수 있어, 더 원하니
브룩클린 보이와 함꼐 즐겨
그러니까 마지막으로 한번만 더 고함질러 봐
오 오 오 오

Now what the hell are you waitin forrrr!!!

아니 더 이상 뭘 기다리는 거야!

After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
get 'em jay

나 다음엔 더 이상 없을 거야
그러니까 마지막으로 한 번 더 소릴 질러봐
Jay 잘해봐~!

Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
Can't none of y'all mirror me back
Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime

호브보다 새로운 게 뭐 있어? 말해 봐
너희 다 알지 내가 뭘 말하는지
너희 중 누구도 나에게 대답할 수 없니
예, 내 랩을 듣는 건 G.의 전성기 랩을 듣는 것과 같지

I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I'm in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck

난 젊은 H.O., 랩의 감사한 죽음
다시 지구를 정복하기 위해 왔어, 이제 빵을 잘라
나도 할 거야, 보잉 제트기, 글로벌 익스프레스,
시골에서 나와 하지만 블루베리와 여전히 이어져 있지
상황은 안좋지만 요트에는 갑판이 세 개나 있어

But when you Young, what the -- you expect? Yep, yep
Grand openin, grand closin
God your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
Just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him
with cheap imitations for THESE GENERATIONS!

하지만 젊을 땐, 뭘 - 기대해? 옙 옙
그랜드 오프닝, 그랜드 클로징
네 남자야, 호이가 캔을 다시 열었어
펜을 가지지 않은 그 외에 누굴 찾겠니 네가
영감을 끌어내 봐
곧 네가 그를 대신할 수 없음을 알게 될 거야
이 세대를 위한 싸구려 모방으론 말야!

Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar

이제 난 앵콜을 받을 수 있어, 더 원하니
브룩클린 보이와 함꼐 즐겨
그러니까 마지막으로 한번만 더 고함질러 봐
오 오 오 오

Now what the hell are you waitin forrrr!!!

아니 더 이상 뭘 기다리는 거야!

After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise

나 다음엔 더 이상 없을 거야
그러니까 마지막으로 한 번 더 소릴 질러봐

What the hell are you waitin forrrr!!!

아니 더 이상 뭘 기다리는 거야!

{*sighs*} Look what you made me do,
look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game,
they try to play you

{*한숨*} 내가 뭘 하게 했는지 봐,
내가 널 위해 뭘 만들었는지 봐
내가 값을 치르면 그들이 네게 어떻게 값을 치르겠니
네가 처음 게임에 참가했을 쯤에
그들은 널 속여먹으려 할 거야

Then you drop a couple of hits,
look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu

그러면 몇 번 대박 터뜨려,
그들이 어떻게 너에게 환호하는지 봐
마르시로부터 매디슨 스퀘어까지
몇 년 안에 젤 중요해 질 것에 대해서
항상 최고 기분이기 위해서,
안녕을 말하기 제일 좋을 때
내가 조던처럼 돌아오면, 4-5를 입고
그건 너와 게임을 하기 위해서가 아냐

It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh-- if you want this encore
I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore

그건 널 겨누기 위해서야, 널 병신으로 만들기 위해
너에게 빚진 게 있다면 난 널 가루를 내 버리겠어
병신들 한 명 골라 가 네 팀으로
그리고 한가지만 기억해 (한가지만)
난 왔어, 봤어, 그리고 정복했어
레코드 판매량으로부터 매진된 콘서트에 이르기까지
그러니까 흥 - 이 앵콜을 원한다면
소리 질러, 폐가 아플 때까지

Tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes

네가 원하는 사람이 되려 노력하는 것엔 지쳤어
너무 신뢰가 없는 느낌, 표면 아래서 길을 잃고
네가 뭘 바라는지 모르겠어
네 입장에 되는 기쁨은 유보해

Caught in the undertoe, just caught in the undertoe
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertoe, just caught in the undertoe
And every second I waste is more than
I can taaaakkee!!

아래서 잡혔어, 아래서 잡혔어
내가 딛는 모든 발걸음이 너에겐 또 다른 실수
아래서 잡혔어, 아래서 잡혔어
그리고 내가 낭비하는 매초가
더 이상 견딜 수 없어!

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
I've, become so nuuuuummmbbb!

난 정말 무감각해졌어
널 더 이상 거기서 느낄 수가 없어
너무 피곤해졌어 너무 잘 알게 됐어
난 이렇게 되고 있어, 내가 하고 싶은 건 단지
더 내 자신이 되고픈 것, 그리고 너같지 않고픈 것
난 너무너무 무감각해졌어!!!

(Can I get a encore?)
(Do you want more, more, more, more)
I've, become so nuuuummmmbb!
(So for one last time I need y'all to roar!)
(One last time I need y'all to roar!)

(가 앵콜을 받을 수 있을까?)
(더 원해? 더 더더더더)
난 너무너무 무감각해졌어!
(그러니까 마지막으로 한 번 더 다 고함질러봐!)
(마지막으로 한 번 더 다 고함질러봐!)

If you're having girl problems i feel bad for your son
I've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!

He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics who say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
He's from the hoods stupid, what type of facts are those?
If your grew up with holes in your zapitos
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe
So fuck critics, you can kiss our whole assholes
You don't like our lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if we don't play they show
They don't play our hits well we don't give a shit, so
All these mags trying to use our ass
So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads... fuckers
I don't know what you take us as
Or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
From rags to ritches nigga we ain't dumb
We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!

99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
I got two choices ya'll pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So i... pull over to the side of the road
And i heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin' you for?"
Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo?
"Well you was doin' fifty five in a fifty four"
"License and registration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin' a weapon on you i know alot of you are"
I ain't steppin' out of shit all my papers legit
"Do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack you some type of lawyer or something?"
"Or some somebody important or somethin'?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!

99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!

99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!

99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin' a pussy
But a pussy havin no God Damn sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is im'ma get to clappin
He and his boys gon be yappin to the captain
And there i go traped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin' again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin' them
D.A. tred to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail 'cause i'm African
All because ths fool was harrasin' them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin'
But ain't nothin sweet 'bout how i hold my gun
I got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one

99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
I need a little room to breathe
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
Everything you say to me
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
I need a little room to breathe
I got 99 problems
And I'm about to break

04. POINTS OF AUTHORITY



Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame puts your name to shame
Cover up your face you can't run the race
The pace is too fast you just can't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in my life
My pride is broken

You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learn)

It starts with

one thing, i don't know why
It doesn't even mather how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain due time

All i know

Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down 'till the end of the day
Clock ticks life away It's

so unreal

You didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryn' to hold on
Didn't even know, i wasted it all
Just to

watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though i tried
It all fell apart What it's meant to be
Will eventually be a memory of a time

When i tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to loose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter

One thing, i don't know why
It doesn't even mather how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself How

i tried so hard

Dispite the way you were mocking me
Acting like i was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised

it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me

In the end

You kept everything inside and even though i tried
It all fell apart What it meant to be
Will eventually be a memory of a time

When i tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to loose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as i can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as i can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to loose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter

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 is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care (2x)

There's a place so dark you can't see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again

Chorus

Bridge:
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, chain-link, and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

Chorus
Bridge

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you (7x)

Bridge (2x)

12. PUSHING ME AWAY

I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you


Pre chorus:
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing


Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away


I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you


Pre chorus
Chorus (2x)


We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing


Chorus (2x)


Pushes me away?2x

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
and the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act for me you do
favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start askin' me about
Things that you want back from me
(Chorus)
I'm sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place
to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
(Chorus)
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
[You'll see it's not meant to be]
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe some day I'll be just like you
And
Step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
Used to be calm, used to be strong,
Used to be generous, but you should have known
That you'd wear out your welcome and now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest!
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
[You'll see it's not meant to be]
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
(repeat 7x)
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
{screaming}
Go away, YOU!
try to take the best of me!
Go away, YOU!
try to take the best of me!
Go away, YOU!
try to take the best of me!
Go away, YOU!
try to take the best of me!
GO AWAY!-
(Chorus)
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
[You'll see it's not meant to be]
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
SHUT!
UP!
Why?!!-
(2x)
I am so sick [shut!] of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
[Up!] Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I am so sick [why?!!-] of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
[Stay]! Find another place [away!] to feed your greed
[from me!] While I find a place, to, rest

Wasn't that fun, lets try something else?

45 caliber killer without of the filla
Elevated Show your brothas how your not a gorilla
Smooth talking fully automatic weapon constiller
Taste thrilla, great filler
Hit him with the bounce stiller
Filthy stinking standing on the side grounded
Still be sinking submerging in the parks
Still be linking plucked beats when it starts
Hope your thinking its not a mirage
Im living up off tracks from out of the garage
Well if you could duck but its hard to dodge
In the back of that spine where my darkness lies
Flippin straight up ripping apart your squad
X-Ecutioner's Style cuts and blends
Like a syringe banging you in each of your limbs
See me coming through your party hard
Without no body guard
Smoking something, stomping on each of your toes
I'm the B to the L to the A to the C King
And when it comes to planning the Thought, keeping thinking this

You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life,
Put a label on a lifestyle

Sometimes...

You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night


Hybrid

I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist my cords in double helixes and show them what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

High Voltage
The unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's craillon Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention

Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw

High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
And like the rock and rap
You know what i mean
People act like you know
Wow that’s a new invention
That shits brand new
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing

Sometimes...

There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with labels
There ain’t no label for this shit
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something
So they can water it down

Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease

Sometimes I feel like a prophet

Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease

High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down

You know what I mean, you can put a label on a lifestyle

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
You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you

Why does it feel like night today?
오늘은 왜 이렇게 밤 같이 느껴지지?
Something in here's not right today
지금 무엇인가는 비정상적으로 느껴져
Why am I so uptight today?
나는 왜 요즘들어 이렇게 긴장하고 있지?
Paranoia's all I got left
편집증만 남았을 뿐이야.
I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed but
처음으로 나를 압박하기 시작한 것이 무엇인지, 어떻게 이렇게 나를 누르고 있는지 모르겠지만
I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head
난 내 머릿속에 타인의 목소리가 들리는 느낌이 어떤지 알아
It's like a face that I hold inside
그것은 내 내면에 감춰둔 어떤것인 것 같아
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
내가 눈을 감을 때마다 깨어나는,
A face watches every time I lie
내가 거짓말 할 때마다 나를 지켜보는,
A face that laughs every time I fall
내가 실패할 때마다 나를 비웃는 것
(And watches everything)
그리고 모든 것들을 지켜보는..
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
그래서 나는 언제 내가 잠수해야 하고 언제 헤엄쳐야 하는지 알아
That the face inside is hearing me right underneath my skin
그것은 내 피부 바로 아래에서 듣고 있어

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
난 편집증인것 같아. 누군가가 뒤에서 바라보는것 같아.
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
내 머리안에 회오리 바람이 있는것 같아
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
내가 듣고 있는 소리들을 제어할 수 없을 것 같아.
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
그것이 내 피부 바로 밑에 있는 것 같아...

I know I've got a face in me
내 내면에 또 다른 얼굴이 있다는 걸 알아
Points out all my mistakes to me
내가 저지른 모든 실수들을 지적하는...
You've got a face on the inside too
네 안에도 또 하나의 얼굴이 있을거야
and
그리고
Your paranoia's probably worse
너의 편집증은 아마도 더 심할지 모르지
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
처음으로 나를 이렇게 만든 것이 무엇인지 모르지만 나는 내가 무엇을 견뎌낼 수 없는지 알아
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
모든 사람들은 당연하다고 생각하는대로 행동해
I can't add up to what you can but
네가 이해할 수 있는것을 나는 이해할 수 없지만
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
모든 이들은 각자 자신 안에 그 얼굴을 가지고 있어
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
내가 눈을 감을 때마다 깨어나는,
A face watches every time I lie
내가 거짓말 할 때마다 지켜보는,
A face that laughs every time they fall
그들이 실패할 때마다 비웃는 얼굴
(And watches everything)
그리고 모든 것들을 지켜보는..
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
그래서 너는 언제 네가 잠수해야 하고 언제 헤엄쳐야 하는지 알아
That the face inside is watching you too right inside your skin 네 내면에 있는 얼굴 또한 너를 지켜 보고 있어

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
난 편집증인것 같아. 누군가가 뒤에서 바라보는것 같아.
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
내 머리안에 회오리 바람이 있는것 같아
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
내가 듣고 있는 소리들을 제어할 수 없을 것 같아.
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin X 2
그것이 내 피부 바로 밑에 있는 것 같아...X 2

The face inside is right beneath your skin
네 안에 있는 그것은 바로 네 피부 밑에 있어

The sun goes down
해가 지고 있어
I feel the light betray me
빛이 나를 배신하고 있음을 느끼고 있어

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
난 편집증인것 같아. 누군가가 뒤에서 바라보는것 같아.
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
내 머리안에 회오리 바람이 있는것 같아
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
내가 듣고 있는 소리들을 제어할 수 없을 것 같아.
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin X 2
그것이 내 피부 바로 밑에 있는 것 같아... X 2

Graffiti decorations
Underneath a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true

Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

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

Gonna run away

07. BY MYSELF

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I
Turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)

How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

11. CURE FOR THE ITCH

(Unnamed announcer): Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight.
I'd like to introduce...
Mr. Hahn!
Let's hear it for the great Mr. Hahn!
And now a lesson in rhythm management.
Let's begin...
Alright now, wasn't that fun?
Let's try something else.

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I've found bless in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I've found the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts. they make no sense
I've found bless in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK (echo)

Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut ... UP!
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK!

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real, oh

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
Confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting
Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting
How I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
Confusing what is real
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling
Confusing what is real

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I've found bless in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge

'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts. they make no sense
I've found bless in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before

Takes me one step closer to the edge

I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK (echo)

Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut ... UP!
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breath
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

BREAK!

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin

*It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin

*Repeat (x2)

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

The sun goes down~ I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down~ I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down~ I feel the light betray me(*Repeat)
The sun goes down~ I feel the light betray me(*Repeat)
The sun....
beneath your skin!

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
Just like before~

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

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

*Repeat(x2)

Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
SHUT UP!
I'm about to break

*Repeat(x2)

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static
and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

*It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you~

You Now I see Keeping everything inside
(with you~)
You Now I see Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

*Repeat

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, 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

*Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame puts your name to shame
Cover up your face you can't run the race
The pace is too fast you just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

**You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you learn)
You want to act like you're someone
(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learn)

You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
my life
My pride is broken

**Repeat

*Repeat(x2)

**Repeat(x2)

*Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me
that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control
I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that
it's just just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

* Repeat

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, Reacting
Against my will
I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting, how I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced That
it's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Graffiti decorations
Underneath a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true

Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

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

Gonna run away

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin

How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside

It starts with one thing
(One thing)
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
(All I know)
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal
(It's so unreal)
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
(Watch you go)
I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when (I tried so hard)

*I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
I tried so hard
(I tried so hard)
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
(It got so far)

Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
(In the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when I (tried so hard)

*Repeat

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

*Repeat

I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

*
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest


I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone

* repeat(2x)

You try to take the best of me
Go away (8x)

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

* repeat(2x)

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 is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
But why should I care

There's a place so dark you can't see the end
Skies cock back and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking
thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again

* In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

* Repeat

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
I see it right through you
I see it right through you
I see it right through you
I see it right through you
I see it right through you
I see it right through you

* Repeat

* Repeat

Folks, we have a very special guest for
you tonight
I'd like to introduce
Mr. Hahn!
Let's hear it for the great Mr. Hahn!
And now a lesson in rhythm management
Let's begin
Alright now wasn't that fun?
Let's try something else

I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

* Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time
left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing

** Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away (X2)

I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

* Repeat

** Repeat(X2)

We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing

** Repeat (X2)

You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life,
Put a label on a lifestyle


Sometimes...


You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night


Hybrid

I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist my cords in double helixes and show them what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this


High Voltage
The unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide


Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's craillon Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention

Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw


High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide


High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
And like the rock and rap
You know what i mean
People act like you know
Wow that’s a new invention
That shits brand new
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing

Sometimes...

There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with labels
There ain’t no label for this shit
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something
So they can water it down


Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease


Sometimes I feel like a prophet

Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease

You know what I mean, you can put a label on a lifestyle

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me right
underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too
and Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
And watches everything
So you know that when
it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching
you too right inside your skin
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 like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
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 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 can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
beneath my skin

Instrumental

Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I need you to go

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and don't stay

Sometimes I feel like I've trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I need to be alone

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and don't stay

I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away
I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away
With no apologies

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and don't stay
Don't stay
Don't stay

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I got lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find that
I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
but all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal, I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I cant believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find that it's
Not the way I had imagined it all in my mind.
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal, I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away
I'll find myself today

I want to heal, I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I want to heal, I want to feel like
I'm somewhere I belong
I want to heal, I want to feel like
I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just because I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay
I'm just trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
So I'm lying my way from you

No, no turning back now
I want to 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, no turning back now
Anywhere on my own because I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you is me

I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me
And I'm trying to bend the truth
But the more I push, the more I'm pulling away
Because I'm lying my way from you

No, no turning back now
I want to 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, no turning back now
Anywhere on my own because I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me

This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me
Like this

You

No, no turning back now
I want to 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, no turning back now
Anywhere on my own because I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you'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've 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 you crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall and I'm counting down the time
Because 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've won and then it's all gone
And then it's all gone and then it's all gone and then it's all gone
Now it's all gone

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall

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've won and then it's all gone
And then it's all gone and then it's all gone and then it's all gone
Now it's all gone

'Easier To Run'

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

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I’ve kept locked away no on-e can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they’ve played

[If I could change I would take back the pain I would]
[Retrace every wrong move that I made I would]
[If I could stand up and take the blame I would]
[If I could take all the shame to the grave I would]
[If I could change I would take back the pain I would]
[Retrace every wrong move that I made I would]
[If I could stand up and take the blame I would]
[I would take all my shame to the grave]

[Chorus]
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
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 never be a path

[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 watching in the sun
All of my helplessness inside
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
It’s so much simpler to change

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

It’s easier to run
[If I could change I would take back the pain I would]
[Retrace every wrong move that I made]
It’s easier to go
[If I could change I would take back the pain I would]
[Retrace every wrong move that I made I would]
[If I could stand up and take the blame I would]
[I would take all my shame to the grave]

I am
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 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 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

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I could do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Because from the infinite words I could say
I put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize, instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away, never goes away

And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here
You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear
I can't separate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I'd see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing' myself to them and every day
I regret saying those things because now I see
That I took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away, never goes away

And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here
You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear
I can't separate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

It never goes away, it never goes away
It never goes away, it never goes away

Get away from me
Give me my space back, you got to just go
Everything comes down to memories of you
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know
I've let you go
So get away from me
Get away from me
Give me my space back, you got to just go
Everything comes down to memories of you
I've kept it in but now I'm letting you know
I've let you go

And now you've become a part of me, you'll always be right here
You've become a part of me, you'll always be my fear
I can't separate myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
I've let myself become you, I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I dont want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one that fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
