fifteen percent concentrated power of will
five percent pleasure fifty percent pain
and a hundred percent reason to remember the name mike
mike shinoda
he doesn’t need his name up in lights
he just wants to be heard whether it’s the beat or the mic
he feels so unlike everybody else alone
in spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
but fuck ’em he knows the code it’s not about the salary
it’s all about reality and making some noise
making a story making sure his clique stays up
that means when he puts it down tak’s picking it up let’s go
tak
who the hell is he anyway he never really talks much
never concerned with status but still leaving ’em starstruck
humbled through opportunities given despite the fact
that many misjudge him ’cause he makes a living from writing raps
put it together himself now the picture connects
never asking for someone’s help help or to get some respect ‘spect
he’s only focused on what he wrote his will is beyond reach
and now it all unfolds to the skill of an artist
ryu
this is twenty percent skill uh eighty percent beer
be a hundred percent clear ’cause ryu is ill next
who would’ve thought he’d be the one to set the west in flames
then i heard him wreck it with the crystal method name of the game uhhuh
came back dropped megadef took ’em to church
i like bleach man ryu had the stupidest haha
this dude is the truth now everybody giving him guest spots
his stock’s through the roof i heard he fucking with s dot

got him out the dryer he’s hot found him in fort minor with tak
what a fucking nihilist porcupine he’s a prick he’s a cock
the type women wanna be with and rappers hope he gets shot
eight years in the making patiently waiting to blow
now the record with shinoda’s taking over the globe
he’s got a partner in crime his shit is equally dope
you won’t believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid’s throat
5 tak
tak he’s not your everyday on the block
he knows how to work with what he’s got making his way to the top
he often gets a comment on his name people keep asking him
was it given at birth or does it stand for an acronym
no he’s living proof proof got him rocking the booth
he’ll get you buzzing quicker than a shot of vodka with juice juice
him and his crew are known around as one of the best
dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent

forget mike nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
it seems like he’s never got time
because he writes every note and he writes every line
and i’ve seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
it’s like a design is written in his head every time
before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
and those motherfuckers he runs with the kids that he signed
ridiculous without even trying how do they do it
