I am not a pattern to be followed The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal, not a role model Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame Nor a sane person telling you to forfeit the game I came in the ring like a dog on a chain And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse 'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse 'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
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 oughta stop talking Start trying to catch up mother fucker And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker
Lauryn said money change a situation Big said it increase the complication Kane said don't step, I ain't the one Chuck said a Uzi weighs a mother fucking ton [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/when-they-come-for-me-lyrics-linkin-park.html ]
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me Rocking every stage in every place that they brought me I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it And so it ain't mistaken Imma state that for the record
I am the opposite of whack, opposite of weak Opposite of slack, synonym of heat Synonym of crack, closest to a peak, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking Start trying to catch up mother fucker And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker
Oh, when they come for me Come for me I'll be gone
Oh, when they come for me Come for me I'll be gone
Oh, when they come for me Come for me I'll be gone
And all the people say Try to catch up mother fucker
