Step Up Nobodys Listening Its Going Down Lyrics | Linkin Park

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

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

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

Yo
Watch as the room rocks
Men only moon walk
Mixed media slang
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
With your lack of skill and facility
You're killing me
And the dj in the group just for credibility

I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated 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 want to be an emcee you've got study the skill

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

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

Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming at you
Coming, coming at you
Coming, coming at you

[you]
Peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
We drop right 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 wanna
Talk this and that so I suppose
That it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
[it goes]

Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
But nobody's listening

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, You Say: Down
It's Going Down, Check It Out It's Going Down

It's goin' down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futureesque 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

It's goin' down
The logical progression on a 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 goin' down

It's goin' down
The logical progression on a 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 goin' down

Put it out for the world see
LP and X-men to the 10th degree
It's goin' down
Nobody in the world to see
When we melt down the wax in the wet decree
It's goin' down
Put it out for the world see
LP and x-men to the 10th degree
It's goin' down
Everybody in the world to see
When we melt down the wax in the wet decree
It's goin' 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, You Say: Down
It's Going Down, It's Going Down
When I Say: It's Going, Everybody: Down
It's Going Down, It's Going Down
