[00:33.96] Mike!

[00:35.71] He doesn't need his name up in lights

[00:36.87] He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic

[00:39.62] He feels so unlike everybody else, alone

[00:42.36] In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him

[00:45.28] But fuck 'em

[00:46.53] he knows the code It's not about the salary

[00:48.45] It's all about reality and making some noise

[00:51.36] Making the story

[00:52.34] making sure his clique stays up That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up!

[00:56.73] Who the hell is he anyway?

[00:58.49] He never really talks much

[01:00.24] Never concerned with status but still leaving them star struck

[01:02.48] Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact

[01:05.48] That many misjudge him because he makes a living from writing raps

[01:08.23] Put it together himself, now the picture connects Never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect

[01:13.13] He's only focused on what he wrote

[01:14.03] his will is beyond reach And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

[01:19.89] This is twenty percent skill

[01:21.14] Eighty percent fear

[01:22.64] Be a hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill

[01:24.89] Who would've thought he'd be the one to set the west in flames

[01:27.89] Then I heard him wreck it with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"

[01:30.89] Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church

[01:33.65] I like bleach man, why you had the stupidest verse?

[01:57.00] Found him in Fort Minor with Tak

[01:58.00] What a fuckin' nihilist porcupine

[02:16.00] Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block He knows how to work with what he's got

[02:20.00] Making his way to the top He often gets a comment on his name

[02:23.00] People keep askin him was it given at birth

[02:39.44] Nobody really knows how or why

[02:41.17] He works so hard It seems like he's never got time

[02:43.92] Because he writes every note and he writes every line

[02:47.43] And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind

[02:49.68] It's like a design is written in his head every time

[02:52.43] Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme

[02:55.40] And those motherfuckers he runs with, those kids that
