[Intro: Mike Shinoda, Emcee 007]
(Always prevail, the human third rail)
Yo, yo, I put Xero
(Exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
Junkyard Scientific, Styles, haha
(Always prevail, the human third rail)
Yo, I thought you knew, I thought, ha, uh
(Exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
I tell ya, ha, uh

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Mark Wakefield, both]
It's like a royal flush, a rush when I bust verbally
Plus crush Earth's crust and enemy emcees to dust with one touch
Stonehenge rhyme-riddle a mystery
With Earth-rattle reckonin', rewritin' your history
With blistery flesh, meshed with a mess of a civil unrest on wax
Test pressed, scratched with finesse and next
Blessed with extraterrestrial techs
And programmed for the organs above your necks
Undressin' hip-hop, and makin' it over again
This is the end
Ill men you'll never defend
From the deep end, we watch trends, and then we see rock
And devise plans, strand them in the penalty box
To mentally stop brains of virtual train wrecks
Dissect the picture to the words turned up by the text
What's next? Heat-seeking treats meet your sect
When you spit a thousand words, and haven't painted a stroke yet
[Chorus 1: Mike Shinoda, Mark Wakefield]
Believe this, (Believe this) I'm only in it for the fiends (For the fiends)
And mean every single sentence that I scream (It's just the sound)
It's just the sound as the breakbeat kicks
That's got us all dancin' in the mist (In the mist)
Believe this, (Believe this) I'm only in it for the fiends (For the fiends)
And mean every single sentence that I scream (It's just the sound)
It's just the sound as the breakbeat kicks
That's got us all dancin' in the mist, mist

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Mark Wakefield, both]
With your incomphrehensible bullet-hole ventilators
Stainless steel metal, invincible, diamond, and platinum-plated
Psychologically fabricated facade
God-sent, and hellbent, are mentally not making' any sense to me
Eventually, you tempted me to put you on the choppin' block
As a sacrifice to hip-hop when I knock you off
A razor blade, (Uh) and pop, and lock the axe in
Put your head in a basket as an example for those who pass it
Medievally approaching these festivities
Jump around (Uh) frequently when you see me, like BDP on PCP
Frequently, me and Mark transform like DMC
To soundwaves of song set in every frequency

[Interlude: Mike Shinoda, Emcee 007, Mark Wakefield]
(Always prevail, the human third rail)
Endlessly worthless, cryin' out your curses
(Exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
Playin' all these games, and turnin' this into a circus
(Always prevail, the human third rail)
Witless, and worthless, and cryin' out your curses
(Exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
Playin' all these games…
(Yo)
[Chorus 2: Mike Shinoda, Mark Wakefield]
Believe this, (Believe this) I'm only in it for the fiends (For the fiends)
And mean every single sentence that I scream (It's just the sound)
It's just the sound as the breakbeat kicks
That's got us all dancin' in the mist (In the mist)
Believe this, (Believe this) I'm only in it for the fiends (For the fiends)
And mean every single sentence that I scream (It's just the sound)
It's just the sound as the breakbeat kicks
That's got us all dancin' in the mist

[Outro: Emcee 007]
(Always prevail, the human third rail, I exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
One two, one, one, yeah, one two
(Always prevail, the human third rail, I exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
Ha, ha, ha, Cash Double-Oh, Xero, 818, you know? That's how we do
(Always prevail, the human third rail, I exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
Xero, 818, you know? That's how we do
(Always prevail, the human third rail, I exhale the smoke from Molotov cocktails)
Yeah, check it out, y'all, check it out, Cash Double-O
Tell your grandparents, tell your brother and sister, tell everybody, ha ([?] yea, Artofficial)
One two, ha, ha, one two, ha, one two (Yeah, just like that, yeah, just like that, yeah, just like that)
(Yeah, just like this)
Yo, can you hear me?
Haha, it's like that
I ain't takin' it back, haha
