Mike Shinoda
Unreleased (Demo) [The Visionaries & Linkin Park]
[Intro: ?]
What's the real definition of a top-notch emcee?

[Verse 1: 2Mex]
Polyurethane
Probably you're [?] your brain
Quite possibly not
Isosceles thoughts
Awful bets awesomely wrought
2Mex drops hip-hop [?]

[Verse 2: LMNO]
We're not dead yet
We're all the way live
Visionaries, gear up for the drive
Load one or two, LMNO too
A rogue runner typa crew
Here to get a hype for you

[Verse 3: Dannu]
Introducing, Dannu
Sitting on this track
Take a seat with a view
Possible I can interrupt us for a few
By this block stroll through a park with the crew
[Verse 4: Key-Cool]
Bеats to make you move on the dancе floor
Key-Cool with the crew, enhance more
Sight or might, to incite [encite?]
You're in the fight
Moshin' rock
Much harder than ice

[Chorus: ?, ?, ?, ?]
LP, Visionaries
Live and direct, son
Ra- Ra- Rappin' and jammin'
The sou- sou- sou- sound clashin'
What's the real definition of a top notch emcee?

[Verse 5: Lord Zen]
Local access, broadband's bad
Look past the words that merge
With picture tubes
The images that flash the truth
That interludes
In a sense you're screwed
If you haven't conversed with the inner you
Prevent food for thought
Keepin' the contaminants inanimate
The transient capturin'
Still-life like mannequins
Reflexes like Anakin
Came through even after the darkness and shenanigans
[Verse 6: Dannu]
Sacrifice
The word alone has advice
It's found deep within
It's what's used to win or
What's used to lose
If purposely lost
It'll come back to you
Only time is the cost
This rhyme that's a cross
In between days old
Intersection of life, mind, body, and soul
Got out hold on mine but others seem to let go
Gotta long drive home that's why I leave after close

[Verse 7: Lord Zen]
I want to quantum leap
Landing Zen in Linkin Park
Ain't an art of indistictive parts
This music brings us all together now
Intersect your power
Vision incredible

[Verse 8: Mike Shinoda]
Call up a relative and tell 'em who the hell it is
You think not
Guess again
You bet it is
Put a kink in the backbone of predators
They're not competitive
Actin' like they're on sedatives
With or without large amounts of melanin
Let it begin until the rigor mortis settles in
Rainin' on rust on bulletproof metal men
It's deep water and there's no backpedallin'
[Chorus: ?, ?, ?, ?]
LP, Visionaries
Live and direct, son
Ra- Ra- Ra- Ra- Ra- Rappin' and jammin'
The sou- sou- sou- sound clashin'
What's the real definition of a top-notch emcee?

LP, Visionaries
Live and direct, son
Ra- Ra- Ra- Ra- Ra- Rappin' jammin'
The sou- sou- sou- sound clashin'
What's the real definition of top-notch-

[Verse 9: 2Mex]
Mexican mix of flicks
I'm what happens when you divide six by six
Must exist as some remainder
Some guys son shuns the fun and runs into danger
Skills rockin', son
Kill the clock and drum
Through the walk and run
One dimensional like a rhinoceros
Spun adventurous like a vinyl purist

[Verse 10: LMNO]
Everybody come down to Earth
Space is a waste
Put your face in the dirt
Humble thyself
Give thanks for the work
My woman said, "My manager, man's a jerk"
My feelings are hurt
I say, "word"
Got plenty change to make
I can't forsake
Firebrand travel on a sabbatical
I adore the ideal
Ignore the actual

[Verse 11: Key-Cool]
Noncontractual
All natural
Detachable
Reattachable
Scratchable
We attack the track
With some of that, 'ef that concious rap'
That taps at the root of the truth
That shows proof
That most these cats are just a spoof
Talkin' bout nothin'
But this is somethin'
That ya'll been waiting to hear
But didn't know what was comin'

[Verse 12: Mike Shinoda]
Lights out
Los Angeles darkness
Trash bag track homes and park bench apartments
Lit with a center-city harshness
Attract the colour weapons of paint marker artists
And this is the soundtrack to the scene
LP, Visionaries, collaborative team
Takin' it to a level you never dreamed of
Open your eyes to a sight that's seldom-seen

[Chorus: ?, ?, ?, ?]
LP, Visionaries
Live and direct, son
Ra- Ra- Rappin' and jammin'
The sou- sou- sou- sound clashin'
What's the real definition of a top-notch emcee?

LP, Visionaries
Live and direct, son
Ra- Ra- Ra- Ra- Ra- Rappin' and jammin'
The sou- sou- sou- sound clashin'
What's the real definition of a top-notch emcee?

[Outro: ?]
Bri- bring it
Bri- bri- bring it
Bri- bri- bri- bring it outta ya soul
Come on, co- co- co-
Come on, co- co- co-
Co- co- co-
