Full Nelson
Limp Bizkit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why's everybody always picking on me?
(Why's everybody always picking on me?)
Does anybody really know a thing about me?
(Does anybody really know a thing about me?)
One of these days we'll be in the same place
In the same place punk, at the very same time (yeah)
And when it takes place and you wanna talk shit
Then step your ass up, and say it right to my face

You'll get knocked the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash

I ain't believing all the shit you been talking 'bout me
(I ain't believing all the shit you been talking 'bout me)
Don't even know me, and still you're talking shit about me
(Don't even know me, and still you're talking shit about me)
Well, one of these days I'm gonna catch you in the act
In the act, red handed, caught up in the act (punk)
And that'll be the day, your one and only day
Then step your ass up, and say it right to my face

You'll get knocked the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash

Shh

So where you at?Where you been?
I'm sure I'll be seeing you again
'Cause this world is really small
Can't we all get along, can't we all get along?
So where you at? Where you been?
I'm sure I'll be seeing you again
'Cause this world is really small
Can we all get along, can we all get along?

I'm upset at the people who verbally rape us, we're talking
We try to ignore them, ignore them until they keep talking
They think that they're building an empire without us
Well we've got the torch now
We've got the fire to burn this motherfucker down, town, town
Burn this motherfucker down, town, town
Burn this motherfucker now, down, down
Burn this motherfucker now, down
Burn this motherfucker

You'll get knocked the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
That your ass can't cash

Motherfucker
Just shut your fuckin' mouth




Bring it on Lethal
Come on

One of these days we'll be in the same place
And the same place punk at the very same time
And when it takes it place and you wanna talk shit
Then step your ass up and say it right to my face

You'll get knock the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writin' checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writin' checks that your ass can't cash

I ain't believin' all this shit you've been talkin' about me
(I ain't believin' all this shit you've been talkin' about me)
Don't even know me and still you're talkin' shit about me
(Don't even know me and still you're talkin' shit about me)

One of these day, I'mma catch you in the act
(In the act)
Red-handed, caught up in the act
(Punk)
Now that'll be the day, the one and only day
So step your ass up and say it right to my face

You'll get knock the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writin' checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out
'Cause your mouth's writin' checks that your ass can't cash

So where you at?
Where you've been?
Sure, in, I was in
(I was in, you again)
'Cause this world's
Is really small, can we all get along

So where you at?
Where you've been?
Sure, in, I was in
(I was in, you again)
'Cause this world's
Is really small, can we all get along

How pathetic are people
Who verbally rape us with talkin'
We try to ignore them
Ignore them until they keep stalkin'

They think that they're buildin' an empire
Without us, we've got the torch now
We got the fire to burn this motherfucker down, down, down
Burn this motherfucker down, down, down
Burn this motherfucker down, down, down
Burn this motherfucker down, down
Burn this motherfucker

You'll get knocked the fuck out
'Cause your mouth wrote a check that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out

You bet your ass can't cash

Motherfucker
Just shut your fuckin' mouth
Bring it on lethal

If you ask any die hard limp fan which song you want to see them do live...this one will be high on that list every time...and a bit of an underrated gem on this album.

@ggj1987

That’s a very contradicting statement

@Comfarol

if they played this live the place would get burned to the ground

@joshuamills2136

I can confirm they just did this live at Inkcarceration. They still got it

@deadroses19

saw them live yesterday and they played this song with a guest guy from the crowd on stage

@chemicalimbalance7030

@@ggj1987the only thing that matters is the enthusiasm of his fandom. That comes across at least

I remember getting picked on in middle school, and never having the courage to do anything about it or stick up for myself, I'd come home lay in bed at night and fantasize about kicking the shit out of them with this playing on my walkman. My dad saw me get slapped and said, "boy next time he does that, knock him in his nose and don't stop til you are pulled off" Needless to say I got suspended, but gained a valuable life lesson and respect and a bond with my dad. Limp bizkit reminds me of then.

@JJsiN84

Love the story bro, because I can relate with that just like you I was bullied constantly until middle school. In front of the entire cafeteria this fucker was running his mouth sitting on my left I got up, took him by his throat, choke slammed his fucking ass to the ground.
Dude was twice my size crying like a little bitch in front of everybody. It’s like you say: you learn a valuable life lesson. Sometimes you got to put your hands up! you can’t ignore the problems, you can’t ignore any of your problems and expect they will just go away.

There's a time and place for everything.
