[Chester Bennington] Together we made it We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall
[Busta Rhymes:] See it niggas i survived the worst but my life is glorious But I know that I leaped every hurdle and i'm so victorious Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness now you could call me Morpheus As force securing the wind and they believe I'm so notorious You know that I've been bout my bread even though we rapping now (yes) When we used to live on the strip even though we're on a higher level trapping now Superceeded every one of my struggles For your ass is never been an option A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic and i'm bout to take the hood shoppin Sing it!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington] (Busta Rhymes) *Mike Shinoda* Together we made it (you see we did it niggas) We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon) Forever we waited (haha!) 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) *yeah, yeah* on the road (and come and get it) *yeah, yeah* on the roooooooad *yeah, yeah, yeah, yo!*
[Mike Shinoda:] When it all got started we were steadily just getting rejected And it seemed like nothing we could do would ever get us respected At best we was stressed at the worst they probably said was we're pathetic Had all the pieces to that puzzle just a way to connect it I was fighting through every ryhme tighting up every line Never resting the question if I was out of my mind It finally came time to do it or let it die So put the chips on the table and told him to let it ride 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 (c'mon) Forever we waited (haha!) And they told us we were never going to 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 (and come and get it) on the roooooooad
[Busta Rhymes:] Look in case you misunderstanded exactly what I'm building Shit that I could live for my children (children) children (children) Now I only wake up I smile to see how far I've come Fighting for sales on a strip to negate the hustle from From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son To counting money like Dre and Jimmy and Russell was But now I live when I dream you see we finally did it 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 (c'mon) Forever we waited (haha!) And they told us we were never going to 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 (and come and get it) on the roooooooad
