[Chorus]

This is 10% luck

20% skill

15% concentrated power of will

5% pleasure

50% pain

and 100% reason to remember the name

Mike:

He does'nt need his name up in lights

He just wants to be heard

Whether it's the beat or the mic

He feels so unlike everybody else

Alone/in spite the fact that

Some people think that they know him

But no/He knows the code

It's not about the salary

It's all about reality

And making some noise

Making a story/making sure his clique stays up

That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up

Let's go

Tak:

Who the hell is he anyway?

He never really talks much

Never concerned with status

But still leaving 'em star struck

Humble through opportunities given

Despite the fact that many misjudge him

Because he makes a living from writing raps

Put it together himself/now the picture connects

Never asking for someone's help

Or to get some respect

He's only focused on what he wrote

His will is beyond reach and now it all unfolds

Through the skill of an artist

Ryu:

This is 20% skill

80% beer

Be a 100% clear 'cuz Ryu is ill

Who would have thought he'd be the one

That set The West in flames

Then I heard him wreck it with the

Crystal Method name of the game

Came back, dropped Magadef

Took 'em to church

I like Bleach man

Ryu had the stupidest verse

This dude is the truth

Now everybody's giving him guest spots

His stock is through the roof

I heard he's f____' with S-dot

[Chorus]

Ryu:

They call him Ryu he's sick

And he's spitting fire

And Mike got him out the dryer/he's hot

Found him with Fort Minor with Tak

What a f____' nihilist

porcupine/he's a p____/he's a c___

The type women want to be with

And rappers hope he gets s___

8 years in the making

patiently waiting to blow

Niw the record with Shinoda's taking over the globe

He's got a partner in crime his s___ is equally dope

You won't beleive the kind of s___ that comes out of this kid's throat

Tak:

He's not your every day on the block

He knows how to work with what he's got

Making his way to the top

He often gets a comment on his name

People keep asking him was it given at birth or does it stand for and acronym?/No

He's always on the go/facing new challenges

Anytime they hear him flow

They could tell he was talented

Him and his crew are known around as one of the best

Dedicated to what they do and give a 100%

Mike:

Forget Mike

Nobody really know how or why

He works so hard/it seems he's never got time

Because he writes every note and he writes every line

And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind

It's like a design is written in his head every time

Before he touches a key or speaks in a rhyme

And those other fellas he runs with

The kids that he signed

Ridiculous, without even trying

how did he do it?

[Chorus]
