The dude, he said that, like, |
| [00:02.61] |
when we were making the first Linkin Park record |
| [00:04.68] |
He was like, |
| [00:05.65] |
"Yeah you know, I don't know about the rapping like, |
| [00:08.15] |
I don't know... maybe you should just be a rock band." |
| [00:11.05] |
You know what I mean, like, trying to change us |
| [00:12.71] |
like they signed us as an act like what we sound like and then he's like |
| [00:16.18] |
"Oh I don't know maybe you should just play keyboard" |
| [00:18.87] |
|
| [00:20.09] |
Before the first song that you heard me on |
| [00:22.37] |
There were people already tryin' to get me gone |
| [00:24.71] |
Tellin' me to quit rapping |
| [00:25.98] |
"Just play the keys" |
| [00:27.15] |
That my band had a singer |
| [00:28.46] |
They didn't need me |
| [00:29.53] |
But my band had my back |
| [00:30.71] |
So we did the tracks |
| [00:32.28] |
Put out the album and the talk went flat |
| [00:34.31] |
It was funny at first but then the humour faded |
| [00:36.71] |
When some magazines printed that our label made us |
| [00:39.55] |
We were to be good to be true |
| [00:40.86] |
Some were saying ghost writers were writin' all that we do |
| [00:43.80] |
So we had to disprove it |
| [00:45.42] |
We spelled it out to the detail how we do it when we're making this music |
| [00:49.00] |
After that I made it a rule |
| [00:50.74] |
I only do e-mail responses to print interviews |
| [00:53.37] |
Because these people love to put a twist to your words |
| [00:56.03] |
To infer that you said something ****ing absurd |
| [00:58.17] |
|
| [00:58.84] |
Oh, did I lose you at infer? |
| [01:00.78] |
Not used to hearing a verse that uses over first grade vocabulary words? |
| [01:05.47] |
People used to infer that we were manufactured |
| [01:08.50] |
Now I've got the interviews on file |
| [01:10.29] |
Which people said what |
| [01:11.67] |
Which number to dial |
| [01:12.63] |
So now every enemy screaming insanity |
| [01:15.29] |
All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me |
| [01:17.85] |
Bitch |
