[Mike Shinoda]
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but
I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay I'm just
(trying to bend the [bad word] 
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm
(Lying my way from you)
 [bad word]  Jay-Z]
If you feelin like a pimp [bad word]  go and [bad word] your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and [bad word] your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Verse One]
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force
Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, [bad word] grip'n my balls
All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots [bad word] London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
Like [bad word] back, get it man, I'm straight off the block
I [bad word] it back [bad word] cause I'm straight with the Roc
 [bad word] 
 [bad word] Two]
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder

[Verse Two]
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover
Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya
But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin
Now fifty-two [bad word] out, now you feel 'em
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case fifty-two [bad word] out, now you chillin
with a boss [bad word] of course S.C. on the sleeve
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real

[Mike Shinoda & Chester]

I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was [bad word]  in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
(Trying to bend the [bad word] 
But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cuz I'm
 [bad word] 
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is ME)

This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would
have [bad word] from me
Like This
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would

No turning back now

No no turning back now

No turning back now
