Mike Shinoda - Encore '07 lyrics

[Intro] Thank you Thank you for comin' out tonight Ladies and gentlemen I am the president of Dirty Money Records (What the hell are you waiting for?) New York City [Verse 1] Who you know fresher than Nick? Riddle me that Mami you itty bitty can't mirror me back Everybody gon' see where I'm lyrically at Used to hate Nicki, now they givin' me dap I live and I learn, but I wait my turn I'm always on the run, got weight to burn Ease off the gas, then I make a turn Three off the pas, they don't play like her Why I can't just be ill? Why when they see me, b**hes gotta to go "Ew"? Why my lil' n***a, still gotta sell krills? Why I'm this hot and still didn't get a deal? The rain and the pain, I done paid my dues I'm ready for the game, I done laced my shoes Everything I say believe I'm gon' do Came out the coop, Petite Vuitton boots [Hook] Can I get an encore I know you want more I know you sick of all them girls, they such a bore But it's my time I need you to roar It's my time I need you to roar (What the hell are you waiting for?) After me, there shall be no more It's my time I need you to roar (What the hell are you waiting for?) [Verse 2] Look what you made me do, look what I made for you Know when I paid my dues, that I would aim for you Straight from the streets of Queens and yet it seems The only thing they know, is that I push a beam All they see's a pretty face, how I ride the base So I put my hoodie down just to hide my face They don't see the tears I cry, the fears I hide Tend to keep my cares inside, it's merely pride Like my grandmother, I wonder if she next to pop Said the next time I seen her she would be in a box Damn she was right, she was dead right How was I to know, that would be her last night? If I could turn back the time Dear God, somehow could you press rewind? Won't come when I call, but He just in time So I come when He call, like I'm next in line When you got something good why the Devil gotta ruin it? Guess she never know, I be the best b**h doing it [Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park] Tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you I've become so numb [Nicki Minaj] Can I get an encore I know you want more (I've become so numb) But it's my time I need ya'll to roar It's my time I need ya'll to roar
