WE MADE IT
(Chester Bennington:)
Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall
(Busta Rhymes:
As you can see I survived the worst but my life is glorious
Betta know that I leaped every hurdle and I'm so victorious
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness now you can call me Morpheus
As force accumulated the wind they believe I'm so notorious
You know I've been by my bread even though we rapping now (yes)
We used to deliver on the strip
Even though a nigga higher level trapping now
so conceded every one of my little struggles (and)
throw your hands never ever been an option (trust)
a nigga pay for long life with or without traffic
and im about to take the hood shop and get it
(chorus-Chester Bennington:)
together we made it (see we did it niggas)
we made it even though wehad our backs up against the wall (Come on)
forever we waited (haha)
and they told us we were never going to get it
but we took it on the road (to the riches)
on the road (to the ghetto)
on the roooooad (in the projects to this bangin instrumental)
on the road (ride with me)
on the road (come and GET IT)
on the roooooooad (yea yea yea)
(Mike Shinoda)
yo, when it all got started we was steadily just getting rejected
and it seemed like nothing we could do would ever get us respected
at best we were stressed to the worst they probably said we're pathetic
had all the pieces to that puzzle just no way to connect it i was fighting through every ryhme
tightning up every line never resting the question if i was out of my mind it finally came time
to do it or let it die so we put the chips on the table and told em to let it ride
singing yea!!

(Busta Rhymes:)

from nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yea)

IN THE END
(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
