Enjoy the most impressive lyrical display of the last decade

'Everybody wanna be the King then shots ring
You layin on your balcony with holes in your dreams'

'Everybody look at you strange say you changed
Uhh! Like you work that hard to stay the same
Uhh! Game stays the same the name changes
So its best for those to not overdose on being famous
Most kings get driven so insane
That they try to hit the same vein that Kurt Cobain did'

'The more successful, the more stressful
The more and more I transform to Gordan Gekko
In the race to a billion got my face to the ceiling
Got my knees on the floor please Lord forgive him
Has he lost his religion, is the greed gon' get him?
He's having heaven on earth, will his wings still fit him?'

Wowww.

Too many qoutables.

GTFO right now

Can't be doing with supposed Hip-Hop fans not appreciating Mike Shinoda.

Even the most old skool Hip-Hop fans who are still into NWA, Wu Tang, Public Enemy or whoever, appreciate that Mike Shinoda is a great lyricist. Says it how it is and doesn't chat bull like he's some glorified politcian like most these other :snow::snow::snow::snow::snow: do.
"Claiming money is the key so keep on dreaming
And put them lottery tickets just to tease us
My Aunt Pam can't put those cigarettes down
So now my little cousin's smoking them cigarettes now
His job trying claim that he too n*ggerish now
Is it cos his skin's blacker than liquorish now?
I can't figure it out, sick of it now"

Epic song, I love the whole of it
I Who Have Nothing Lyrics
Artist(Band):Jedi Mind Tricks

I, I who have nothing...

Verse I: Ikon

Intersections in real time
The unbroken circle and dimensions of the mind
The tie that binds
The eternal tie that defines
The vanity of my insanity in due time
Will shine
Like the night seas under the moon
The haunted corners of familiar rooms
Yet i'm consumed
We're vanishing into thin air
The realization that this S***'s is my cross to bare
So where
Did I think I could run away to see
The people that decided to leave without asking me
But we
Decide to wait for happier tomorrows
And find someone so they can be distractions from our sorrow
But my distractions the books of paper that i scrawl in
I'm eloquent as summer breeze and leaves that have just fallen
I've crawl in a corner hoping all of this will end
With the knowledge that love is just another word for revenge
I who have nothing but the comfort of my sins
I who have nothing but the comfort of my friends

Chorus:

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one

Verse II: Ikon

As I decay, demons prey above me like a vulture
Ability to endure contradiciton is a high sign of culture
Verbal sculptures, self defacing
It is not God or lunacy that I am facing
But the erasing of the purity and passion of my words
The herds of cattle babble on with talk of the absurd
But I preferred
To walk away from all the feuds
To find my life is more confusing than a rubic's cube
So i'm subdued
In all my words of verbal prods
To live alone one must be an animal or a God
But it's official
All of my pain is clear as crystal
The natural side of life has now been seeming artificial
But I can hit you
And rest assured that i'ma last words
I don't give a f*** about ya secrets and ya passwords
I can past words and their ability to hurt you
Patience is a virtue and knowledge is a commercial
I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to
I who have nothing but the pain that I refer to

Chorus

Verse III: Ikon

Lost among the miracles, I stand alone
And i've grown into a being that's sitting on top a throne
I've known
For many years that I would turn to rust
I find a reason for another breath
Before my return to dust
I become one with science and mathematics and the rising of the sun
I'm numb
To all of those who blind and cannot see
The chastiser of the enemy
Perception requires duality
Inspect ya soul, the color of coal inside the body
I have hardly come across them who's holy
Send them to the cherubim to control thee
Burning of the sun and frigidness of the cold
The battle field is new but the war is now old
You can never see the merest shadow of a halo
Above the head of evil djin who's deadly like tornado
The world has become an aquarium
Full of gaping fish with murderous smiles
I on the other hand stand on the outside looking in
Writing down murderous files
I who have nothing but the lack of variation
And I who have nothing but chains and suffocation

I... who have nothing.

The Nina, OH, the Pinta, OH, the santa maria, OH, I'll do you in the bottom while you're drinking Sangria.

Nachos, lemon heads, my dad's boat, you
wont go down 'cause my dick can float!

We sail 'round the world and go port to port, everytime I cum I produce a quart.

Put on your life vest, let's drop anchor, there's a nice lady whore, I'd like to swank her.

Boats 'n' Hoes, Boats 'n' Hoes, I gotta have me more boats 'n' hoes.

Deadliest catch, without the crabs, we're almost out of gas, call the Arabs!

I'm a pussy Pirate my name is Jack Sparrow, take off my pants so you can see my flesh arrow.

Make sure to wax, use your mom's Nair you'll be amazed when I cum in your hair!

Pull up the anchor cause we're leaving dry land, get below deck with a dick in your hand!

Boats 'n' Hoes, Boats 'n' Hoes, I gotta have me more boats 'n' hoes.

MAYDAY!!!! - tune as well

Born in the flood
Bloody fingerpaint sets
Blackmarketed fresh
Water canons forget me not
Epitaph airbrush with death
White t's
Wife beaters
Button up
Reattach flesh

In between the lines
Outside of the law
Underneath the veil
We dig our foundations
We navigate the globe
Trying to find a pattern to break the mold
With a family to feed
There's nowhere we won't go
But what if were caught
They say I'm a snitch
Shot at the check point
Found with his throat slit
Theres spray paint on the teleprompter
Anchorman screams that hes seen a monster
Mayday
There's bloodstains on his shirt
Mayday
They say that hes gone berserk

Sometimes
When I wanna shut out this world
Wanna rip up this page
Wanna pour out this heart
Wanna get up on this stage
And my lips become percussion
And my fists become the rage
And I pound on this table
Til it gives me something to say
Then I think about things that Ive seen
Right in front of me
That I don't wanna believe
Gimme one of these mikes
Lemme let 'em know
The way that it is is not how it's gonna be
Not if we don't let 'em get ahead of us
The present tensions no threat
It's just a fence across the path
That were already ready to walk
Rock solid footsteps
Let 'em put up obstacles
And prove that it isn't possible
:snow::snow::snow::snow: that
We don't give 'em any weight
True liberty and freedoms at stake
Peace will never become pass
Live my life until my last day

It was half-past eight in the bat cave
When the cracks in the plaster collapsed
And gave way to gaps in the pavement
Mayday mayday
Put it on blast
For the passengers and messengers
'cause this is a disaster
Where the :snow::snow::snow::snow: are the rescue workers
Not far
Off pissing on a cop car
In the hall with a poptart
Sipping liquor in the rockbar
Everyone climb to the frontline
Lunchtimes cancelled
All hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill
Onlookers passers-by brush off your shoulders
Shake off that rubble
Break free from your standstill

that's like half or more of the song btw

I rest my head on 115th
But miracles only happen on 34th, so I guess life is mean
And death is the median
And purgatory is the mode that we settle in

The whole track oozes old skool quality

Phife Dog is actually a bit of a flop in my eyes.... He had some clever lyrics but delivery was pretty wack. Q Tip on the other hand......

Phife Dog lyric -

"He said a rhyme about his .45, and nickel bags of weed.
That's when I proceeded, to give him what he needed, talkin' bout
"I need a philly, right, before I get loose" - Poor excuse
Money PLEASE, I get loose off an orange juice.
Preferably minute maid, cos that's exactly what it takes to right a rhyme!"
