Linkin Park-Step Up/Nobody's Listening/It's Going Down [Live Rock Am Ring 2004]

watch as the room rocks
metally moonwalk
mix media slang banging in your boombox
verbal violence,lyrical stylist
in a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
You can't tell me with rhymes that are empty
rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an MC
with all your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
and the DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard it some of you were getting help with your rhyme
you're not an MC if someone else writes your lines
rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
'cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
but now they're gettig 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 wanna be an MC you gotta study the skill
who can rock a rhyme like this?
bring it to you every time like this
who can rock a rhyme like this?
step, step up, step, step up
Peep the style and the kids checking for it
the number one question is how could you ignore it
we drop right back in the cut
over basement tracks
with raps that got you backing this up like
[rewind that]
we're just rolling with the rhythm
rise from the ashes of stylistic division
with these non-stop lyrics of life living
not to be forgotten
but still unforgiven
but in the meantime there are those who wanna
talk this and that / so i suppose
that it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt
and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
[it goes]
try to give you warning
but everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
call to you so clearly
but you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
It's goin' down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futureesque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress
With special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

Pre-Chorus:
It's goin' down
The logical progression on a the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's goin' down

Chorus:
Put it out for the world see
LP and X-men to the 10th degree
It's goin' down
Nobody in the world to see
When we melt down the wax in the wet decree
It's goin' down
Put it out for the world see
Me and x-men to the 10th degree
It's goin' down
Everybody in the world to see
When we melt down the wax in the wet decree
It's goin' down
