[00:07.240] |
You ready? Let's go |
[00:15.750] |
Yeah, for those of you that |
[00:19.370] |
want to know what we're all about |
[00:21.550] |
It's like this y'all come on |
[00:22.670] |
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill |
[00:25.490] |
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will |
[00:28.410] |
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain |
[00:31.250] |
And a hundred percent reason |
[00:32.450] |
to remember the name |
[00:34.130] |
Mike, he doesn't need his name up in lights |
[00:36.400] |
He just wants to be heard whether |
[00:38.110] |
it's the beat or the mic |
[00:39.380] |
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone |
[00:42.120] |
In spite of the fact that some people |
[00:44.000] |
still think that they know him |
[00:45.630] |
But fuck 'em he knows the code |
[00:47.240] |
It's not about the salary |
[00:48.810] |
it's all about reality and makin' some noise |
[00:50.520] |
Makin' the story makin' sure his clique stays up |
[00:53.150] |
That means when he puts it down |
[00:55.460] |
Tak's pickin' it up, let's go |
[00:56.800] |
Who the hell is he anyway? |
[00:58.080] |
He never really talks much |
[00:59.470] |
Never concerned with status |
[01:00.910] |
but still leavin' them star struck |
[01:02.530] |
Humbled through opportunities |
[01:04.000] |
given despite the fact |
[01:06.520] |
That many misjudge him because |
[01:07.550] |
he makes a livin' from writin' raps |
[01:08.210] |
Put it together himself, |
[01:09.350] |
now the picture connects |
[01:10.670] |
Never askin' for someone's help, |
[01:11.840] |
to get some respect |
[01:12.900] |
He's only focused on what he wrote, |
[01:14.830] |
his will is beyond reach |
[01:16.070] |
And now when it all unfolds, |
[01:17.850] |
the skill of an artist |
[01:19.130] |
This is twenty percent skill, |
[01:20.520] |
eighty percent fear |
[01:21.680] |
Be a hundred percent clear 'cause Ryu is ill |
[01:24.600] |
Who would've thought he'd be |
[01:25.690] |
the one to set the west in flames? |
[01:27.130] |
And I heard him wreckin' with |
[01:28.580] |
the crystal method, name of the game |
[01:29.720] |
Came back dropped Megadef, |
[01:31.760] |
took 'em to church |
[01:32.980] |
I'm like 'bleach, man, |
[01:34.220] |
why you have the stupidest verse? |
[01:35.630] |
This dude is the truth, |
[01:36.860] |
now everybody givin' him guest spots |
[01:38.910] |
His stock's through the roof |
[01:40.230] |
I heard he fuckin' with S-dot |
[01:41.650] |
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill |
[01:44.530] |
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will |
[01:46.960] |
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain |
[01:50.220] |
And a hundred percent reason to |
[01:51.660] |
remember the name |
[01:53.140] |
They call him Ryu the sick |
[01:54.150] |
and he's spittin' fire an' mike |
[01:55.480] |
Got him out the dryer he's hot |
[01:57.110] |
found him in Fort Minor with Tak |
[01:58.300] |
A fuckin' annihilist porcupine he's a prick, |
[01:59.630] |
he's a cock |
[02:00.520] |
The type women want to be with |
[02:02.300] |
and rappers hope he gets shot |
[02:04.650] |
Eight years in the makin' patiently waitin' to blow |
[02:07.140] |
Now the record with |
[02:09.660] |
Shinoda's takin' over the globe |
[02:12.380] |
He's got a partner in crime, |
[02:14.310] |
his shit is equally dope |
[02:16.730] |
You won't believe the kind of shit |
[02:18.100] |
that comes out of this kid's throat |
[02:19.330] |
Tak, he's not your everyday on the block |
[02:20.330] |
He knows how to work with what he's got |
[02:21.090] |
Makin' his way to the top |
[02:22.080] |
People think it's a common owner's name |
[02:23.380] |
People keep askin' him was it given at birth |
[02:24.610] |
Or does it stand for an acronym? |
[02:27.000] |
No, he's livin' proof got him rockin' the booth |
[02:29.520] |
He'll get you buzzin' quicker than |
[02:31.020] |
a shot of vodka with juice |
[02:32.400] |
Him and his crew are known around |
[02:33.940] |
as one of the best |
[02:35.040] |
Dedicated to what they doin' |
[02:36.440] |
give a hundred percent |
[02:38.150] |
Forget Mike, nobody really knows |
[02:40.080] |
how or why he works so hard |
[02:41.920] |
It seems like he's never got time |
[02:43.220] |
Because he writes every note |
[02:45.170] |
and he writes every line |
[02:46.830] |
And I've seen him at work when that |
[02:48.280] |
light goes on in his mind |
[02:49.350] |
It's like a design is written in his head every time |
[02:52.030] |
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme |
[02:56.350] |
And those motherfuckers he runs with, |
[02:57.190] |
those kids that he signed |
[02:58.100] |
Ridiculous, without even tryin', how do they do it? |
[03:01.300] |
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill |
[03:03.570] |
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will |
[03:06.490] |
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain |
[03:08.650] |
And a hundred percent reason to |
[03:10.700] |
remember the name |
[03:11.950] |
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill |
[03:14.900] |
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will |
[03:17.910] |
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain |
[03:19.580] |
And a hundred percent reason to |
[03:20.880] |
remember the name |
[03:25.050] |
Yeah, Fort Minor, M. Shinoda |
[03:27.470] |
Styles of Beyond, Ryu, Takbir |
[03:31.920] |
Machine Shop |
