LINKIN PARK - Step Up (1999 Demo) [B-Side Rarities] Lyrics

Lyrics Step Up (1999 Demo) [B-Side Rarities] - LINKIN PARK



Yo
Watch as the room rocks men only moon walk
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 MC
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 MC if someone else writes your lines
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 MC you′ve got to 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
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 (Top 40)
And your record company is completely missing it
And 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 MCs 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
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
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, step up
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
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
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, step up
Mixed Media
Mixed Media
Mixed Media
Step up to the microphone
And you do it like this
And you do it like this
Step up to the microphone
Mixed Media
And you do it like this
Mixed Media
Step up to the microphone
And you do it like this
Mixed Media
Step up to the microphone
And you do it like this
