(feat. Jay Gordon of Orgy)
Yo, yo
Forfeit 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, wont last, wont last,
wont last, wont last, wont last,
wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last
(echo fade)
Ohhhhhhh
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
(chorus)
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)
(chorus ends)
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
(chorus repeats)
Yo, yo
Forfeit 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
Forfeit 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, wont last, wont last,
wont last, wont last, wont last,
wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last(echo fade)

Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
2. Enth E nd
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 [echo]
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
(chorus)
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
(chorus ends)
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
(chorus repeats)
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
(chorus repeats)

You’ve reached Mike

Please enter your pass—
First message
Yo, Mike
This is Chali 2na, w’sup, man?
I’m just trying to catch up with you, man,
so we can go ahead and get this song on the roll, with
a pot-n-a-d
Haha, call me back, peace
4. Frgt/10
(featuring Alchemist, Chali 2na)
(chorus)
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
(chorus ends)
We're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
(chorus repeats, but add following line ...)
But why should I care
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
And nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watchin the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long
shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change, the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday i'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
(chorus repeats)
I'm here at the podium talking, the ceremonial
offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What's happening
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more
than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society's deprivation depends not on
our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aid, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plauge
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
5. P5hng Me A*wy
(featuring Mike Shinoda, Stephen Richards)
When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me
[this text is played backwards]
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
[end backwards talk]
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
(chorus)
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
(chorus ends)
[more backwards talk]
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
(chorus repeats)
Reverse psychology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
There's 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
(chorus repeats 2x)
6. Plc.4 Mie Haed
(feat. Amp Live, Zion of Zion I)
(chorus)
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
(chorus ends)
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn’t give the light to the moon
assuming the moon’s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favours then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about things
that you want back from me
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
(chorus repeats 2x)
Two, two, three, three
Yo, yo, yo
Give me Energon to keep me calm
You and your mom keep all the dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb
Take it to the john in your babylon
Flushed down with the sound that you carry on
I don’t really give a dang
You p****d on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk
Now the battle’s on
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place
To feed your face
If you don’t, we gon’ bump
Get it up here, crunk
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don’t, we gon’ bump
Get it up here, crunk
(chorus repeats 2x)
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best
Go, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, 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 (get away from me), go
away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
Get away from me
7. X-Ecutioner Style
(feat. Black Thought
From the top
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I’m about to br—
Wasn’t that fun?
Let’s try something else
Forty-five calibre killer from out of the filler
Definitely going to show y’all brothers how you not a
gorilla
Smooth talking, fully automatic weapon concealer
Taste thriller, break thriller
Let’s hit ’em with the bounce filler
Filthy stinking, standing on solid ground
And still be sinking, submerging in the parks
Still be linking, plucked beef when it starts
To f**k your thinking, it’s not a mirage
I’m in the motherf**king track, yo, from out the garage
With an if, you to duck, but it’s hard to dodge
In the back of the spine where my dawgs, they lie
Going to flip it straight up, ripping apart your squad
X-ecutioner style, cuts and blends like a syringe
Hanging you from each of your limbs
See me coming through the party hard without no
bodyguard
Smoking something, stomping on each of you Tims
I’m the B-to-the-L, the A, the C, King
And when it comes to planning
The thought to keep thinking, man
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
8. H! Vltg3
(feat. Evidence, DJ Babu, Pharoahe Monch)
Sometimes
Hybrid
I’ve been digging into crates
Ever since I was living in space
Before the ratrace
Before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology
And Big Bang theology
Performed lobotomies
With telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic
So I could start blessing it
Chin-checking kids to make my point like an
impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double-helixes
To show them what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg-braces
Cast a spell of instrumentalness on all of you emcees
who hate us
So you can try on
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity
Let icons be bygones
I fire bomb
Ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved onto a promise
I stomp s**t with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
(chorus)
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High voltage
Coming at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
(chorus ends)
I put a kink in the backbones of clones with
microphones
Never satisfied my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood-type’s Krylon, Technicolour Type-A
On highways, right with road-rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things
Sing songs, karaoke, copy, bulls**t
Break bones verbally with sticks-and-stones tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at
attention
Meant to put you away
With the pencil, pistol, official, sixteen-line-a-
rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah, blah, blah
You can say you saw
(chorus repeats 2x)
Who’s the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man’s bolder than the Pharoahe when he jams
The plan’s over
I have fake sclerosis
The most ferocious
Why I spy, my third eye, distinctly high voltage
That’s why I need Ruby Quartz glasses
’Cause when I glance there’s a chance I might blast
the masses
Subliminals trasmitted through piano
Integrated in flow
Calculated to nano
I use skills when I need
Please head the rhyme I hear when I plead when I
proceed through time
I walk through walls an inanimate obsticles
Via induced reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge
You swallow the state
That’s a hologram
I box your head
Fatten your lip like Collogen
A telepath to deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda
We high voltage
(chorus repeats 2x)

Next message
Hey, Mike, what’s up?
This is Roc, just asking you what’s happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if you’re going to see Joe sometime
soon, too,
because he’s got my keyboard that I’ve been trying to
get back
I’ve been trying to call him and he hasn’t been
returning any messages
so I’m seeing what the best angle is to, you know, get
it back
10. Wth>You
(feat. Chairman Hahn, Aceyalone)
Come on
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold and the static
And I put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I’m pretending to be where I’m not anymore
A little taste of hipocrisy
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant
And I can’t bring you back
(chorus)
It’s true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me
I’m with you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see
Keeping everything inside
With You
You, now I see
Even when I close my eyes
(chorus ends)
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong
I pretend that the past isn’t real
I’m trapped in this memory
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant
And I can’t bring you back
(chorus repeats)
No, I won’t let you control my fate
While I’m holding the wait of the world on my
conscience
No, I won’t just sit here and wait
While you wear your options
You’re making a fool of me
No, you didn’t dare try to say that you don’t care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
No, it ain’t like me to beg on my knees
Oh, please, oh, baby, please
That’s not how I’m doing things
No, I’m not upset
No, I’m not angry
I know love is love, love
Sometimes it pains me
With or without you
I’ll always be with you
You’ll never forget me
I’m keeping you with me
No, I won’t let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn and torture my soul
No, I’m not your puppet
And, no, no, no, I won’t let you go
No, no matter how far we’ve come
I can’t wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we’ve come, I
I can’t wait to see tomorrow
(chorus repeats)
