Big Pimpin'/Papercut
Linkin Park (feat. Jay-Z) Lyrics

Ha ha ha, wasting your talent Randy!
Mockingly laughing at someone named Randy for wasting their talent.

It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back
Feeling anxious and constantly checking for potential threats behind oneself.

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
Feeling like one's thoughts are in chaos and uncontrollable.

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
Feeling unable to silence one's own inner voice or thoughts.

It's like the face inside is right
Feeling like the intuition or gut feeling is telling the truth.

Why does it feel like night today?
Expressing confusion about why the current situation feels dark or ominous.

Something in here is not right today
Sensing that something is off or troubling about the current environment.

Why am I so uptight today?
Wondering why one is feeling anxious or tense in the current moment.

Paranoia's all I got left
The only emotion left is fear or suspicion.

I don't know what stressed me first
Unclear about what started causing the stress or anxiety.

Or how the pressure was fed
Unsure about how the stress and pressure built up over time.

But I know just what it feels like
Recognizing the feeling of anxiety and stress even if unsure of the cause.

To have a voice in the back of my head
Saying that there's an inner voice or instinct that's telling them something.

It's like a face that I hold inside
Describing the inner voice or intuition that feels like a distinct entity.

A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Suggesting that the inner voice is most noticeable when trying to relax or sleep.

A face that watches every time they lie
Implying that the inner voice is able to detect dishonesty in others.

A face that laughs every time they fall (And watches everything)
The inner voice seems to derive some satisfaction from seeing others fail or suffer consequences.

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
Believing that the inner voice will help them make critical decisions when it matters most.

That face inside is hearing me
Feeling like the inner voice is always paying attention to one's thoughts and actions.

Right underneath my skin
Suggesting that the inner voice feels like a deep part of the self, inseparable from one's being.

You know I - thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em

Cause I don't fuckin' need em
Stating that they feel independent and capable without having to depend on others for emotional support.

Take 'em out the hood, keep 'em lookin' good

But I don't fuckin' feed 'em

First time they fuss I'm breezin'
Showing a lack of patience or empathy towards any expression of discontent from partners.

Talkin' bout, "What's the reasons?"
Saying that they don't want to hear any complaints or reasons for unhappiness in the relationship.

I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch
Boastfully embracing the label of 'pimp' as someone who controls, exploits, and objectifies others for their own gain.

Better trust than believe 'em
Hinting that their partners should trust their promises and lies rather than believe in genuine emotional connections or commitments.

In the cut where I keep 'em
Referring to their partners as disposable possessions which can be hoarded and stored away until needed.

'Til I need a nut, 'til I need to beat the guts

Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin' 'em up

Let 'em play with the dick in the truck

Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs

So you can be livin' it up? Shit I...
Asking rhetorically why he would bother supporting his partners beyond the bare minimum, given that he gains nothing in return.

Parts with nothin', y'all be frontin'

Me give my heart to a woman?
Mocking the idea of pursuing real emotional connections with women, instead valuing them only for their looks or sexual abilities.

Not for nothin', never happen

I'll be forever mackin'
Proudly identifying as a player who has no intention of settling down with one partner.

Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion

I got no patience, and I hate waitin'

Hoe get yo' ass in

And let's ride, check 'em out now
