Step Up (Live Projekt Revolution 2002) - Linkin Park

Lyrics by：Linkin Park

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Bring it to you every time like this

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Step step up step step up

Watch as the room rocks mentally moonwalk

Mixed Media slang bangin' in your boombox

Verbal violence lyrical stylist

In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish

You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty

Rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an MC

With your lack of skill and facility you're killin' me

And a DJ in the group just for credibility

I heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes

You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines

Rappin' 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 wanna be an MC

You've gotta study the skill

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Bring it to you every time like this

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Step step up step step up

So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity

But mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy

With a tendency to make up stories

********

Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40

Top 40

And your record company is completely missin' it

All the kids are dissin' it for not bein' legitimate

So in a battle you can't hack it react with wack ****

And get smacked with verbal backflips

Get your a*s kicked by fabulous battle catalysts

It's taken decades for MC's to establish this

You're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious

But not on the mic leave that to the experienced

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Bring it to you every time like this

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Step step up step step up

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Bring it to you every time like this

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Step step up step step up step up

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Bring it to you every time like this

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Step step up step step up

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Bring it to you every time like this

Who can rock a rhyme like this

Step step up step step up step up
