Step Up/Nobody's Listening/It's Goin' Down - Live

(Part I: Step Up)

(Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Crowd, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington)

Who can rock a rhyme like this? (Like this)

Bring it to you every time like this? (Like this)

Who can rock a rhyme like this? (Like this)

Step, step up, step, step up

Here we go

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Bring it to you every time like this?

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Step, step up, step, step up

Keep it up

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Bring it to you every time like this?

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Step, step up, step, step up

(Verse: Mike Shinoda)

Watch as the room rocks, mentally moonwalk

Mixed media slangs banging in your boom-box

Verbal violence, lyrical stylist

In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish

You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty

Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC

Lack of skills and facility you're killing me

And a DJ in your group just for credibility

I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes

You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines

Rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer

'Cause rock and hip-hop been collaborating for years

But now they're getting randomly mixed-and-matched up

All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck

So how does it stack up? None of it's real

You wanna be an MC, then help us out y'all, come on

(Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda)

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Bring it to you every time like this?

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Step, step up, step, step up

Come on

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Bring it to you every time like this?

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Step, step up, step, step up

Mr. Hahn

(Part II: Nobody's Listening)

(Intro: Mike Shinoda)

Check this out

Co-Co-Co-Co-Coming at you

Co-Coming at—, co-coming at you

(Verse: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington)

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it

The number one question is how could you ignore it?

LP back in the cut over basement tracks

With raps that got you backing this up like, rewind that

We're just rolling with the rhythm

Rise from the ashes of stylistic division

With these non-stop lyrics of life living

Not to be forgotten, but still unforgiven

But in the meantime, there are those

Who want to talk this and that so I suppose

That it gets to a point feelings got to get hurt

And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt, Chester

(Chorus: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, & Crowd)

I try to give you warning, but everyone ignores me

You say it

Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody's listening

That's right

Call to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me

I told you everything loud and clear, but nobody's listening

Yep

(Part III: It's Goin' Down)

(Interlude: Mike Shinoda)

This song is called It's Goin' Down, you ready?

Help me out, y'all

(Intro: Mike Shinoda & Crowd)

When I say it's going, you say down

It's going down

It's going down

When I say it's going, you say down

It's going down

It's going down

When I say it's going, you say down

It's going down

It's going down

When I say it's going, everybody down

It's going down

(Verse: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington)

Check it out, it's going down

The rhythm projects around the next sound

Reflects a complex hybrid dialect now

Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down

The melting pot, of a super-futuresque style

The combination of a vocal caress, with lungs that gasp for breath

From emotional stress, with special effects, and a distorted collage

Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

(Pre-Chorus:Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chestern Bennington)

It's going down

The logical progression on the timeline

The separation narrowed down to a fine line

To blur the edges so they blend together properly

Take you on an audible odyssey now

It's going down

A logical progression on the timeline

The separation narrowed down to a fine line

To blur the edges so they blend together properly

(You guys ready?) Take you on an audible odyssey now (Come on)

(Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington)

It's going down

Put it out for the world to see

LP and X-Men to the tenth degree (It's going down)

Nobody in the world is safe when we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)

Put it out for the world to see, LP and X-Men to the tenth degree (It's going down)

Nobody in the world is safe when we melt down the wax in your record crate

(Outro: Mike Shinoda)

Ladies and Gentlemen, make some noise for our DJ

He goes by the of name Mr. Hahn

You wanna listen to a little bit of Mr. Hahn right now?

We'll do it like this

We'll drop the beat now, come on

Mr. Hahn

Los Angeles, if your feeling that, then make some noise

Yes?

You're feelin' it? Make some noise on this side, go

People on this side, make some noise

Thank you guys very much

Thanks
