Start It All Up (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Yo

Give me a second, I'll write about my pain for pages

I got a head full of frustrated phrases

So just bear with me as I get this out

You know the type of person that I'm talking about

These people who want to act like they've got your back

They never had your back, they just stab you in it

I never pretended I had it all together inside

I got insecurities and things that I'm trying to hide

And I could, never seem to get anything right

And I could, never seem to stop busting my fight

And I could, never seem to get it right with you

And I could, never redeem myself when I'm through

But sometimes, you know what? I just don't care

I'm gonna speak my mind and let everybody stare

This is the last time, I'm telling you real loud

You wanna tell me I'm wrong? Let's do it right now

[Chorus]

Start it all up, I'm ready to go

All I need is a signal just to let me know

Come on, start it all up, 'cause all I want

Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got

Start it all up, I'm ready to go

All I need is a signal just to let me know

Come on, start it all up, 'cause all I want

Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got

[Verse 2]

Give me a minute, I'll fill a newspaper with columns

'Cause people saying that I got an attitude problem

That I'm negative when I rhyme, I complain

Pessimistic all the time, in these lines

All the same, I just talk like this on a record and let it out

I just, cock back and let it all come flooding out

I just, say the things that I know I feel are real

I peel back the skin 'till the nerves reveal

You want to come with me? Come closer to the speaker

You want to run with me? You're gonna have to dig deeper

You wanna let it all out, I'll show you how

You wanna tell me I'm wrong? We can do it right now

[Chorus]

Start it all up, I'm ready to go

All I need is a signal just to let me know

Come on, start it all up, 'cause all I want

Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got

Start it all up, I'm ready to go

All I need is a signal just to let me know

Come on, start it all up, 'cause all I want

Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got

[Bridge]

Mike, M-Mike Shinoda

The most ferocious

Mike, M-Mike Shinoda

With or without an accomplice

Mike, M-Mike Shinoda

The most ferocious

Mike, M-Mike Shinoda

With or without an accomplice

[Chorus]

Start it all up, I'm ready to go

All I need is a signal just to let me know

Come on, start it all up, 'cause all I want

Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got

Start it all up, I'm ready to go

All I need is a signal just to let me know

Come on, start it all up, 'cause all I want

Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got
