Step Up lyrics ( Linkinpark )

Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist

In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee
With your lack of skill and facility
You’re killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up None of it’s real
You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill

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

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

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

[Chorus (2x)]

(After years of pain staking research by the world's leading sound scientists, we
here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual
movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack and neutralize the
cellular structure of the human body, and the question must be asked.)

[Chorus (2x)]

Points Of Authority ( Linkinpark )

Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last, won't last, 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've learned)

You have to act like you're someone

(You live what you've learned)

You want someone to hurt like you

(You live what you've learned)

You want to share what you've been through

(You live what you've learned learned learned...)



You love the things I say I'll do

The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you

You take away when I give in

My life, my pride is broken



You like to think you're never wrong

(You live what you've learned)

You have to act like you're someone

(You live what you've learned)

You want someone to hurt like you

(You live what you've learned)

You want to share what you've been through

(You live what you've learned)



Fo-fo-fo-fo-forfeit the game

Before somebody else

Takes you out of the frame

And puts your name to shame

Cover up your face

You can't run the race

The pace is too fast

You just won't last



Forfeit the game

Before somebody else

Takes you out of the frame

And puts your name to shame

Cover up your face

You can't run the race

The pace is too fast

You just won't last



You like to think you're never wrong

(You live what you've learned)

You have to act like you're someone

(You live what you've learned)

You want someone to hurt like you

(You live what you've learned)

You want to share what you've been through

(You live what you've learned)



You like to think you're never wrong

(Forfeit the game/you live what you've learned)

You have to act like you're someone

(Forfeit the game/you live what you've learned)

You want someone to hurt like you

(Forfeit the game/you live what you've learned)

You want to share what you've been through

(You live what you've learned learned learned...)

Pushing Me Away ( Linkinpark )

Ive lied....to you...the same way that I always do...
This is.....the last smile...that Ill fake for the sake of being with..you...

[Everything falls apart,even the people who never frown,eventually
break down...]
The sacrafice of hiding in a lie.....
[Everything has to end,youll soon find we're out of time,left to watch it
all unwind]
The sacrafice is never knowing...

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

Ive tried...like you....to do everything you wanted to....
This is....the last time....Ill take the blame for the sake of being with
you...

[Everything falls apart,even the people who never frown,eventually
break down...]
The sacrafice of hiding in a lie.....
[Everything has to end,youll soon find we're out of time,left to watch it
all unwind]
The sacrafice is never knowing...

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

[We're all out of time,this is how we find,it all unwind..]
The sacrafice of hiding in a lie...
[We're all out of time,this is how we find,it all unwind..]
The sacrafice is never knowing.....

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

Pushes me away.......
