Songtexte Step Up - Live Projekt Revolution 2002 - LINKIN PARK

A'ight guys, we'll give you one more shot
You ready?
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
San Diego you guys are f-ing ready

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
Come on

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

San Diego make some noice
A'ight ya'll, help us out with this shit right now

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
Come on

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

My side, make some noise real quick
Alright
Everybody over here make some noise!
My side, let me see y'all puttin' the hands in the air real quick
Y'all, put 'em down
Alright, everybody over here, put up those hands
Alright, now, put down those hands I guess
Let's see everybody in the house Chester
So your side or my side
Everybody in the house put your hands up, c'mon!
Put 'em up, put 'em up
Now put 'em down, down, put 'em down
You ready? You ready to put your hands up again? (From side to side!)
Wave 'em to side to side, like this ya'll
Wave 'em to side to side, like this ya'll
C'mon, yo! C'mon, yo!
Wave 'em to side to side, like this ya'll
Put 'em up, bro, put 'em up, y'all
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up y'all
That's right ya'll
Give 'em up now, give 'em up now
Let's do this, c'mon!

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
Come on

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

Alright, San Diego, thank you guys very much

You feelin' that, y'all?
San Diego, make some noise
