[Part I: Step Up]

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Crowd, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Who can rock a rhyme like this? (Like this)
Bring it to you every time like this? (Like this)
Who can rock a rhyme like this? (Like this)
Step, step up, step, step up
Here we go
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
Keep it up
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

[Verse: Mike Shinoda]
Watch as the room rocks, mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slangs 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
Lack of skills and facility you're killing me
And a DJ in your 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 been collaborating 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 wanna be an MC, then help us out y'all, come on
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda]
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
Mr. Hahn

[Part II: Nobody's Listening]

[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
Check this out
Co-Co-Co-Co-Coming at you
Co-Coming at—, co-coming at you

[Verse: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it?
LP back in the cut over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like, rewind that
We're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten, but still unforgiven
But in the meantime, there are those
Who want to talk this and that so I suppose
That it gets to a point feelings got to get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt, Chester
[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, & Crowd]
I try to give you warning, but everyone ignores me
You say it
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody's listening
That's right
Call to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me
I told you everything loud and clear, but nobody's listening
Yep

[Part III: It's Goin' Down]

[Interlude: Mike Shinoda]
This song is called It's Goin' Down, you ready?
Help me out, y'all

[Intro: Mike Shinoda & Crowd]
When I say it's going, you say down
It's going down
It's going down
When I say it's going, you say down
It's going down
It's going down
When I say it's going, you say down
It's going down
It's going down
When I say it's going, everybody down
It's going down
[Verse: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Check it out, it's going down
The rhythm projects around the next sound
Reflects a complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot, of a super-futuresque style
The combination of a vocal caress, with lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress, with special effects, and a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

[Pre-Chorus:Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chestern Bennington]
It's going down
The logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
It's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
(You guys ready?) Take you on an audible odyssey now (Come on)

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
It's going down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the tenth degree (It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe when we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)
Put it out for the world to see, LP and X-Men to the tenth degree (It's going down)
Nobody in the world is safe when we melt down the wax in your record crate

[Outro: Mike Shinoda]
Ladies and Gentlemen, make some noise for our DJ
He goes by the of name Mr. Hahn
You wanna listen to a little bit of Mr. Hahn right now?
We'll do it like this
We'll drop the beat now, come on
Mr. Hahn
Los Angeles, if your feeling that, then make some noise
Yes?
You're feelin' it? Make some noise on this side, go
People on this side, make some noise
Thank you guys very much
Thanks
