[Chino Moreno]
I’m off of the Earth
On a ride
Alone
[Mike Shinoda]
Lift off like Virgin Galactic
My Richard’s too Branson to fuck with you bastards
Very legendary that’s some matter-of-fact shit
You’re the opposite of stars, like rats spelled backwards
I flow poems out to Saturn and passed it
Easy as a standard anti-gravity backflip
Satellite tracking can’t map up my tactics
I spit the same shit they split an atom in half with
No, it’s not what I want but it had to be
I spent 6 months just recharging my battery
Imagine me quitting, what a travesty that would be
You space shuttle Challengers are nothing but tragedies
So take care on the path that you’re headed
I’m the father to your style, don’t’ you ever forget it
I don’t drop mics
Only let it smoke where I set it
And I don’t play
Even when they press it
Get it
[Chino Moreno]
I’m off of the Earth
On a ride
Alone
I’m drifting away
Out of time
Afloat
Away from the truth
Away from the night
Away from the day
I’m off of the Earth
On a ride
Alone
[Machine Gun Kelly]
Please brace for impact
Must’ve went to space and got sent back
But I’m still intact
In fact, take a picture of me
You can see that I’m a star with your lens cracked
Supernova
In Caesars Palace stuntin' on my opponents
Cause history’ll show
We done been to war like Romans
Did that dance with the devil
Hell hot as a kettle
So it’s no wonder why I put this ice on all of my metal
And wear that shit like a medal
Use to think I was a joker
No Jared Leto
When I said I’d get us out the ghetto
Slam my foot on the pedal
Book the studio when I couldn’t afford instrumentals
Fuck it, record acapella
Flyin’ coach dreaming Coachella
Until they banned me
Now they like Bambi’s mother, dead
I’m on to these Grammys
I’m rollin’ these grams gladly
Purple and green like Daphne
Shades on like Velma
Hair long like Shaggy
Crushin’ addys in my water
Got my voice raspy
Haven’t slept since California and that shit was last week
Paranoid when I sleep
But when I’m high, I’m happy
That’s why I need to kiss the sky when I get stuck in the valley
Lift Off
[Chino Moreno]
I’m off of the Earth
On a ride
Alone
I’m drifting away
Out of time
Afloat
Away from the truth
Away from the night
Away from the day
I’m off of the Earth
On a ride
Alone
