When They Come for Me

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]

Yeah

I am not a pattern to be followed

The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow

I'm not a criminal, not a role model

Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow

I am not the fortune and the fame

Nor the same person tellin' you to forfeit the game

I came in the ring like a dog on a chain

And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems

And it seems ugly, but it can get worse

'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse

'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works

Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey

I will not dance even if the beat's funky

Opposite of lazy, far from a punk

Y'all oughta stop talkin', start tryin' to catch up, motherfucker

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

And all the people say

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Try to catch up, motherfucker

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]

Lauryn said, "Money change a situation"

Big said, "It increase the complication"

Kane said, "Don't step, I ain't the one"

Chuck said, "That Uzi weigh a motherfuckin' ton"

And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me

Rockin' every stage in every place that it brought me

I'm awfully underrated, but came here to correct it

And so it ain't mistaken, I'ma state it for the record

I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak, opposite of slack

Synonym of heat, synonym of crack

Closest to a peak, far from a punk

Y'all oughta stop talkin', start tryin' to catch up, motherfucker

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

And all the people say

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Try to catch up, motherfucker

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]

Oh, when they come for me, come for me, I'll be gone

Oh, when they come for me, come for me, I'll be gone

Oh, when they come for me, come for me, I'll be gone

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]

And all the people say

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Try to catch up, motherfucker

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

And all the people say

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Try to catch up, motherfucker

Woah-oh, oh, woah-oh, oh

[Outro: Brad Delson & Chester Bennington]

Escuchénme, preste atención

Escuchénme ahora, escuchénme ahora

Escuchénme todos

Toda la gente, preste atención

Escuchénme ahora mismo

Eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh

Eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh

Eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh

Eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh

Eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh

Eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh
