Lyrics
0:07Producer：Mike Shinoda
0:10Yeah levitatin' of the blacktop
0:13Used to struggle getting started now I can't stop
0:16Used to be the quiet kid in the sandbox
0:18Now it's hands up every time that your man rocks
0:22You oughta stop me coming in again
0:24You mad you thought we were synonyms
0:27Too bad that's the water you're gettin' in
0:29You're too fat for the sharks that you're swimming in
0:32When I'm sitting contenders lookin' like fruits spinnin' around in a blender
0:37Hardly a snack when I'm here lookin' for dinner
0:40I eat 'em delete 'em they're barely beginners
0:44Main course is my main sport
0:46Play major but minor's my main fort
0:48Put a chain around everything I came for
0:50Look but don't touch I could tell 'em take an I.O.U
0:54Say they want respect now thinking they deserve to have it next now
0:57Tell 'em take an I.O.U
0:59Leavin' what they makin' up talking loud but never really sayin' much
1:03Tell 'em take an I.O.U
1:04I been drawin' plans out and they think I'm givin' them a handout
1:08Tell 'em take an I.O.U
1:10Thinking they're entitled to a piece no I don't think so
1:13Tell 'em take an I.O.U
1:15Levitatin' in the blackout
1:18Used to drink at least a forty for we mashed out
1:20Used to think that workin' forty was a max-out
1:22Now I'm workin' even when I'm sleepin' do the math now
1:26'Cause even when I'm sleepin' eyes keep 'em open
1:28Strapped across and both the color of your hemoglobin
1:31A huge act man like I'm known for being Logan
1:33Next twenty-three and came to leave 'em with a femur broken
1:37Takin' it too far maybe
1:38Friends like Mike I don't know who you are lately
1:41But pride and hate has made nay-sayers mistake me
1:44For wasting brain space on ratings they gave me
1:47I don't need your respect I got history
1:49I'm 81 Reagan with that nonsense miss me
1:52Father like Francis Anakin or John Misty
1:54Not to be touched sucker
1:56Tell 'em take an I.O.U
1:58Say they want respect now thinking they deserve to have it next now
2:01Tell 'em take an I.O.U
2:03Leavin' what they makin' up talking loud but never really sayin' much
2:06Tell 'em take an I.O.U
2:08I been drawin' plans out and they think I'm givin' them a handout
2:12Tell 'em take an I.O.U
2:14Thinking they're entitled to a piece no I don't think so
2:17Tell 'em take an I.O
