10. Until It Breaks (3:44)
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun
So I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
Original style, like an 808 drum
So I don't run the track, though I make the track run
My Momma taught me words
My Dad, he built rockets
I put 'em both together, now tell me what I got it's-
A pretty smart weapon
I can shoot it, I can drop it
But learn to respect it cause you clearly can't stop it
Like that...
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
It ain't over cause the sharks on the left side, snakes on the right
And anything you do they want to get a little bite
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
Cause; once you get the teeth in, nothing really fights
Except for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
And you can run your mouth like you can try to fill my shoes
But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you
I be laying on the ground before you're even in my view
Like that...
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
Give me; the strength of the rising sun
Give me; the truth of the words unsung
When the last bells ring, the poor men sing; "bring me to kingdom come."
[Verse 3: Mike Shinoda]
This is something for your people on the block to blackout, and rock to
Give me what you need like; Poppa, who shot you?
Separate the weak from the obse-
Lete, you're meek; I creep hard on imposters
Switch styles on a dime, quick witted, y'all quick trippin'
I don't have time for your crying
I grind tough, sucka, make your mind up
Are you in the firing squad, or are you in the lineup?
Bang, bang, lil' monkey man playing with the big guns only get you slain
I ain't playin', I'm just saying; you ain't got a sliver of a chance
I get iller, I deliver, while you quiver in your pants
So, shake, shakedown, money, here's the breakdown
You can play the bank, I'm a play the bank takedown
No mistakes now, coming to get you
I'm just a Banksy, you're a brainwash
Get the picture?
It's like that
[Outro: Brad Delson]
We swim against the rising waves
That crash against the shore
The body bends until it breaks
The early morning sings no more
So rest your head it's time to sleep
And dream of what's in store
The body bends until it breaks
And sings again no more
Cause time has torn the flesh away
The early morning sings no more
I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun
So I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
Original style, like an 808 drum
So I don't run the track, though I make the track run
My Momma taught me words
My Dad, he built rockets
I put 'em both together, now tell me what I got it's-
A pretty smart weapon

But learn to respect it cause you clearly can't stop it

Except for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
And you can run your mouth like you can try to fill my shoes
