You're ready?! Let's go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know who we're all about
It's like this y'all (c'mon!)

 [bad word] 
This is 10% luck, 20% skill
50% concentrated power of will
5% pleasure, 50% pain
And a 100% reason to remember the name!

Mike!
- 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 f*ck 'em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Makin' the story - makin' sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin' it up! let's go!

Who the [bad word] is he anyway?
He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leavin' them star [bad word] 
Humbled through opportunities given to him despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writin' raps
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never askin' for someone's help, to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

It's just 20% skill
80% fear
Be a 100% clear 'cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
And I heard him wreckin' with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Came back dropped Megadef, took 'em to church
I like bleach man, why you have the stupidest verse?
This dude is the [bad word]  now everybody be givin' him guest spots
His stock's through the roof I heard he f*ckin' with S. Dot!

 [bad word] 

They call him Ryu The Sick
And he's spittin' fire with Mike
Got him out the dryer he's hot
Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
Been a f*ckin' annihilist porcupine
He's a prick, he's a [bad word] 
The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the makin', patiently waitin' to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's takin' over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his [bad word] is equally dope
You won't believe the kind of [bad word] [bad word] out of this kid's throat

Tak!
- He's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Makin' his way to the top
People think its [bad word] owner's name
People keep askin' him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No he's livin proof, Got him rockin' the booth
He'll get you buzzin' quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they doin give a 100%

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 motherf*ckers [bad word] with, those kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?!

 [bad word] - repeat 2x]

[Outro - Mike Shinoda]
Yeah! Fort Minor
M. Shinoda - Styles of Beyond
Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop!
