[Mike Shinoda]



                      When I pretend everything is what I want it to be



                      I look exactly like what you always wanted to see



                      When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am



                      Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but



                      I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay I'm just



                      (trying to bend the truth)



                      I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be, so I'm



                    (Lying my way from you)

                    [Chorus: Jay-Z]



                      If you feelin like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off



                      Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off



                      Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you



                      Get, that, dirt off your shoulder

                    [Verse One]



                      I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the force



                      Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche



                      Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced



                      Middle finger to the law, nigga grip'n my balls



                      All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin



                      All the ballers is bouncin they like the way I be leanin



                      All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin



                      But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it



                      Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the pots



                      Nigga London, Japan and I'm straight off the block



                      Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the block



                      I can run it back nigga cause I'm straight with the Roc

                    [Chorus]

                    [Chorus Two]



                      You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder



                      You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder



                      You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder



                      You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder

                    [Verse Two]



                      Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda



                      I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover



                      Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir



                      Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test ya



                      But like, fifty-two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin



                      Now fifty-two bars come out, now you feel 'em



                      Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling



                      In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin



                      with a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve



                      At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen



                      I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean



                      No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real

                    [Mike Shinoda & Chester]

                    I remember what they taught to me



                      Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be



                      Remember listening to all of that and this again



                      So I pretended up a person who was fittin' in



                      And now you think this person really is me and I'm



                      (Trying to bend the truth)



                      But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cuz I'm

                    [Chorus]



                      (Lying my way from you)



                      No no turning back now



                      (I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)



                      No no turning back now



                      (Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone)



                      No turning back now



                      (Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)



                      No no turning back now



                      (The very worst part of you)



                      (The very worst part of you is ME)

                    This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would



                      have you running from me



                      Like This



                      This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would

                    [Chorus]



                      (You)



                      No turning back now



                      (I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
