Step Up "Hybrid Theory EP" (1998) (исполнитель: Linkin Park)
Watch as the room rocks Mentally moonwalk 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 emcee 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 emcee if someone else writes your lines And 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 emcee you? ve got to study the skill Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? (2x) 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 And your [bad word] is completely missing it All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate So in a battle you can’t hack it React with whack [bad word] And get smacked with verbal back flips Get your [bad word] kicked by fabulous battle catalysts It’s taken decades for emcees to establish this You? re new to hip hop and [bad word] if your serious But not on the mic Leave that to the experienced (Using the waves of sound the [bad word] master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack) [bad word] (2x) (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 [bad word] of the human body, and the question must be asked.) [bad word] (2x)
