Fort Minor
Petrified (Album Version)
[Intro]
Y'all are not
Not re-ready (No !)
Not re-ready (No !)
We about to drop it steady (So)
Do it like that
Do it like that

[Chorus x2]
Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)

Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
(Yeah)
Drop that (Come on !)

[Verse 1]
How you doing y'all, my name is Mike
I'm fluent with the new shit, I'm doing it all night
I like what I do, I do what I like
I can quit and get it back, like I'm riding a bike

Like stop...
Bring it back, bring it back

We got that balance
Keeping us on track
That you get
When you're moving quick
With no slow
You stare like you don't care
But you do though

I know
You really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you're tough but so phony

You and your boys
You don't know me
You really want to hold me
Show me, homie

Let's get it over with for good
I got a friction addiction
I wish you would

Machine Shop rocking when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified

[Chorus]
Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
(Yeah)
Drop that (Come on !)

[Verse 2]
Listen
You are not / ready
Like children and a building
You can't stand steady

It must be the beat so heavy
Causing panic attacks like a crack in the levy

Give you that Robert Plant
Dancing days are back
Feeling all in the track
And in fact
For those knowing the name
I'm back
With some brand new crack
We can do it like that

You really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you're tough but so phony

You and your boys you don't know me
You really want to hold me
Show me, homie
Tough talk doesn't mean a thing
Get over yourself
You know when we're up in the scene
It's Machine Shop rocking when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified

[Chorus x2]
Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)

Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)

[Bridge x2]
Y'all are not
Not re-ready (No !)
Not re-ready (No !)
We about to drop it steady (So)
Do it like that
Do it like that

Y'all are not
Not re-ready (No !)
Not re-ready (No !)
We about to drop it steady (So)
Do it like that
Do it like that

Get up

[Chorus x2]
Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)

Now why's everybody so petrified (What ?)
Petrified (What ?)
Step aside
And just drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)
Drop that (Come on !)

[Outro x4]
Like stop
Stop
Bring it back
Bring it back
We got that balance
Keeping us on track

Like stop
Stop
Bring it back
Bring it back
We got that balance
Keeping us on track

Like stop
Stop
Bring it back
Bring it back
We got that balance
Keeping us on track

Like stop
Stop
Bring it back
Bring it back
We got that balance
Keeping us on track

Like stop
