[Chester Bennington]
Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall

[Busta Rhymes]
See a nigga survived the worst
But my life is glorious (uh!)
But I know that I leaped every hurdle
And I’m so victorious (uh!)
Take a look I’m a symbol of greatness
Now call a nigga Morpheus (yeah)
As force securin’ the win, but they
Believe I’m so notorious (yeah)
You know that I’ve been ’bout my bread
Even though we rappin’ now (yes)
We used to live on the strip even though
A nigga higher level trappin’ now (oh!)
Superseded everyone of my little struggles and (uh!)
So your head never ever been an option (trust)
A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic
And I’m about to take the hood shoppin’ (get it!)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington (Busta Rhymes)]
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
on the road
(To the ghetto)
on the road
(In the projects, to this bangin’ instrumental)
on the road
(Rise with me)
on the road
(Come and get it)
on the road

[Mike Shinoda]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo
When it all got started we were steadily
Just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothin’ we could do
would ever get us respected
At best we were stressed at the worst
They probably said we’re pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle
Just the way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme
Tightening up every line
Never restin’ the question if I
Was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it and let it die
So we put the chips on the table and
Told them to let it ride, sing it (yeah)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington (Busta Rhymes)]
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
on the road
(To the ghetto)
on the road
(In the projects, to this bangin’ instrumental)
on the road
(Rise with me)
on the road
(Come and get it)
on the road

Yeah, yeah, yeah, look

In case you misunderstand exactly what I’m buildin’
This shit that I can leave for
My children’s (children’s) children’s (children)
Now on the wake up I smile, to see how far I’ve come (yeah)
Fighting for sales when I’m stripped
To negate the hustle from (yeah)
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son (yeah)
To countin’ money like Dre and Jimmy and Russel was (yeah nigga)
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (oh!)
Let’s make a toast to the hustle
Regardless how you get it, sing it

[Chorus: Chester Bennington (Busta Rhymes)]
Together we made it (you see we did it niggas)
We made it even though we had our backs
Up against the wall (come on)
Forever we waited (ah hah)
And they told us we were never gonna
Get it But we took it on the road
(To the riches)
on the road
(To the ghetto)
on the road
(In the projects, to this bangin’ instrumental)
on the road
(Rise with me)
on the road
(Come and get it)
on the road

G5 B5 E5
White girl living in the city in a big apartment house
C5
She’s livin’ with her boyfriend now

G5 B5
She drives of every day for school and work
E5 C5
she washes dishes now and watches TV on the pull out couch

Chorus:
G5 B5 E5 C5
But every day’s the same (but every day’s the same) x3 (and 4th time only say it only once don’t say the (
part.)

G5 B5
White girl moves back to the suburbs
E5
Cause she’s finally found a man who
C5
knows how to take care of her

G5 B5
They bought the perfect little house
E5
And the lawns are manicured
C5
And she’s never missed a day of work

Chorus

(Palm mute this part)
G5 B5 E5
White girl couldn’t go off knowing she would
be wastin’ time
C5
she drowned in the lake last night.

(Don’t palm mute anymore)
G5 B5 E5
They found her floatin’ body floatin’ but she still walks around
C5
performin’ all her daily chores

(Do the riff x4 during this part)
She still don’t know, what life’s about

She still don’t know what life’s about

Chorus

I never thought I’d die alone
I laughed the loudest who’d have known?
I trace the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine I didn’t think enough
I’m too depressed to go on
You’ll be sorry when I’m gone

[Chorus:]
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn’t wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we’d survived
I couldn’t wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone

I never thought I’d die alone
Another six months I’ll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You’ll never step foot in my room again
You’ll close it off, board it up
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her fault

[Chorus:]
I never conquered, rarely came
But tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can’t wait to get outside
The world is wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, I’ve survived
I can’t wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
