[Mike (from Victimized by Linkin Park)]

They're acting like they want a riot

Its a riot I'll give 'em

As the sound climbs higher

On this violent rhythm

These snakes in the grass,

Supplying the venom

I ain't scared of your teeth,

I admire what's in 'em

You've been waiting in the shadows there, thinking you're hidden

But the truth is, you don't have the stomach to get 'em

Go on already hit 'em

Yeah you gotta be kiddin'

Wanna talk about a victim?

I'mma put you there with 'em!

[Eminem (from Don't Push Me by 50 Cent ft. Eminem and Lloyd Banks)]

These are my ideas

This is my sweat and tears

This is shit that I saw with my eyeballs, my ears

This is me, who's gotta be

What you see on TV, what you hear on CD, what appears easy

Man these teenie boopers see me on these magazine covers

In these beanies and these rags, living fantasies

Frontin' like it's all fun and games, 'til they shoot 'em up bang

And you see your brains hang and you see we ain't playin'

Ain't sayin' we ain't layin' down at night and ain't prayin'

I bullied my way in this game, man I'm done playin'

Man I'm done sayin' that I'm done playin', I'm a start layin' into these

Motherfuckin' cocksuckers

There's no way I'm back down, like a god damn coward

I can't, how would I look as a man, bowin' to his knees

Like the mad cow disease, let somebody lash out at me

And not lash back out at 'em. Please!

Oh, whao, yo, ho, hold up, oh no, not me, not Marshall

You wanna see Marshall? I'll show you Marshall

I try to show you art, but you just pick it apart

So I see I have to start, showin' you fuckin' old farts

A whole other side I wanted to not show you

So you know you're not dealing with some fuckin' marshmallow

Little soft yellow, punk pussy, whose heart's Jello, cause

[Mike (from Victimized by Linkin Park)]

They're acting like they want a riot

Its a riot I'll give 'em

As the sound climbs higher

On this violent rhythm

These snakes in the grass,

Supplying the venom

I ain't scared of your teeth,

I admire what's in 'em

You've been waiting in the shadows there, thinking you're hidden

But the truth is, you don't have the stomach to get 'em

Go on already hit 'em

Yeah you gotta be kiddin'

Wanna talk about a victim?

I'mma put you there with 'em!

No regret for the confidence betrayed

No more hiding in shadow

Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid

Time has come for you

[Mike (from When They Come For Me by Linkin Park)]

Lauryn said money change the situation

Big said it increase the complication

Kane said *mixing noise* I ain't the one

Chuck said an Uzi weighs a mother fucking ton

And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me

Rockin' every, rock-rockin' every stage an-

I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it

And so it ain't mistaken, I'mma say that for the record

I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak

Opposite of slack, synonym of heat, synonym of crack

Closest to a peak, far from a punk

Ya'll oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up mother fucker

[Mike (from Victimized by Linkin Park)]

They're acting like they want a riot

Its a riot I'll give 'em

As the sound climbs higher

On this violent rhythm

These snakes in the grass,

Supplying the venom

I ain't scared of your teeth,

I admire what's in 'em

You've been waiting in the shadows there, thinking you're hidden

But the truth is, you don't have the stomach to get 'em

Go on already hit 'em

Yeah you gotta be kiddin'

Wanna talk about a victim?

I'mma put you there with 'em!

[Chester (from Victimized by Linkin Park)]

Victimized, victimized, never again victimized

Victimized, victimized, never again victimized

(Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid)

Victimized, victimized, victimized never again victimized

Raaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid [x6]

[Mike (from Victimized by Linkin Park) x2]

They're acting like they want a riot

Its a riot I'll give 'em

As the sound climbs higher

On this violent rhythm

These snakes in the grass,

Supplying the venom

I ain't scared of your teeth,

I admire what's in 'em

You've been waiting in the shadows there, thinking you're hidden

But the truth is, you don't have the stomach to get 'em

Go on already hit 'em

Yeah you gotta be kiddin'

Wanna talk about a victim?

I'mma put you there with 'em!
