when they come for me
Linkin Park怀 Lyrics

Yeah,
I am confident and unapologetic in who I am.

I am not a pattern to be followed
I refuse to conform to societal expectations or norms.

The pill that I'm on Is a tough one to swallow
The reality of my situation is hard for me to accept.

I'm not a criminal Not a role model Not a born leader I'm a tough act to follow
I don't fit into any traditional mold; I'm my own person.

I am not the fortunate and the fame Or the same verse I'm telling you to forfeit the game
I reject the idea that wealth or celebrity status equals happiness, and I encourage others to give up that belief as well.

I came in the ring like a dog on a chain And I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems And it seems ugly, but it can get worse, 'Cause even the blueprint is a gift and a curse
I started out with nothing, but as I climbed the ladder, I saw that the darker side of things is even worse than I imagined, and even success has its downsides.

'Cause once you have the theory of how the thing works Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
Once you've mastered something, people expect you to repeat that success indefinitely, which can be limiting and frustrating.

And I'm not a robot I'm not a monkey I will not dance even if the beat's funky Opposite of lazy, far from a punk ya'll Stop talking, start tryna catch up mother fucker
I'm not going to just do what everyone else is doing, even if it's popular. I'm hardworking and independent, and I encourage others to catch up to my level.

Lauren said money changes situations Big said it increases the complication Kane said don't stab, I ain't the one Chuck said that an Uzi weigh a mother fucking ton And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me I'm awfully underrated But can be corrected
I take inspiration from other successful people and try to learn from their experiences. I've performed on many stages and I know I'm talented, even if others don't always recognize it.

And so this second I'm gonna save it for the record I am the opposite of whack Opposite of weak Opposite of slack Standing in the heat Standing in a crack Closest to a beat, far from a punk Ya'll outta stop talking, start tryna catch up mother fucker
I want to make sure everyone knows that I'm not just all talk - I truly am strong, capable, and in tune with the rhythm of the world. I challenge others to stop being complacent and strive for excellence.

Oh when they come for me Come for me I'll be gone
I'm not concerned about what people think of me or whether they'll try to bring me down, because I know I can handle anything they throw at me.

And all the people say Aah, aah, aah Trying to catch up mother fucker Aah, aah, aah
I'm setting a high bar for everyone around me, and they're struggling to keep up.
