Mike!

he doesnt need his name up in lights

he just wants to be heard whether its the beat or the mic

he feels so unlike every body else, alone

in spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him

but F**k em

he knows the code:

its not about the salary, its all about reality

and making some noise

making the story

making sure his clique stays up

that means when he puts it down, tak's pickin it up

Who the hell is he anyway?

he never really talks much

never concerned with status

but still leavin 'em starstruck

humbled through oppurtunities

givin despite the fact

that many misjudge him

because he makes a living from writing raps

put it together himself

and the picture connects

never askin for someones help, or to get some respect

hes only focused on what he wrote

his will is beyond reach

and now it all unfolds

the skill of an artiste

80% beer

Be 100% clear

cuz ryu is ill

who woulda thought hed be the one to set the west in flames

I heard him wreck it with the crystal method Name of the game

Came back dropped megadef, took em to church

i like bleach man

ryu had the stupidest verse

this dude is the truth

now everybodys givin him guest spots

his stocks through the roof

i heard hes fuckin with s-dot!

ryu!

They call him ryu the sick

and hes spitting fire and mic

got him out the dryer hes hot

found him in fort Minor With Tak

He's a fucking nihilist porcupine

hes a prick hes a cock

the type women wanna be with and rappers hope he gets shot

8 years and the makin

patiently waitin to blow

now the record with shinoda's

takin over the globe

hes got a partner in crime

his shit is equally dope

you wont believe the kinda shit that comes outa of this kids throat

tak!

He's not your every day on the block

he knows how to work with what hes got makin his way to the top

he often gets a comment on his name

people keep askin him was it

given at birth

or was it stand for an acronym

No

He's livin proof, look at him rockin the booth

he'll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of vodka with juice

Him and his crew are known around as one of the best

dedicated to what they do, and give 100

forget mike

nobody real knows how or why, he works so hard it seems like hes never got time

becuz he writes every note, and he writes every line

and ive seen him at work, when that light goes on in his mind

its like a design is written in his head every time

before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme

and those mothafuckas he runs with, the kids that he signed, rediculous

without even tryin

how do they do it?
