Lyrics When They Come for Me - Linkin Park

When They Come for Me

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 & the fame
Or the same person tellin' you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly is sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly, but it could get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift & a curse
'Cause once you got the 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
Y’all ought to stop talkin'
Start tryin' to catch up, muthafucker.
And all the people say…
aaahhhhhh aaahhhhhhh
Try to catch up muthafucker.
aaahhhhhh aaahhhhhhh
Lauryn said money changes situation
Big said it increased the complication
Kane said don’t stab, I ain’t the one
Chuck said an Uzi weigh a muthafucking ton
And I’m just a student of the game that they taught me
Rockin' every stage & every place that they bought me
I’m awfully underrated;
and I came to correct it
And so it ain’t mistaken, I’m a say it 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
Y’all ought to stop talkin'
Start tryin' to catch up, muthafucker.
And all the people say…
aaahhhhhh aaahhhhhh
Try to catch up muthafucker.
aaahhhhhh aaahhhhh
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 muthafucker.
And all the people say…
Try to catch up muthafucker.
Hey hey hey hey…
