High Road

[Verse 1 - Mike Shinoda] Let's go ya'll These people are running off at the mouth Tryin to convince me that I'm running on empty Tryin to convince themselves that the record With Jay was a fluke That the record that I'm makin is a mistake And I can't take this Let me tell you where I'm at with this You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit I'm not plastic and fake When I make tracks I take facts and lay them out for the masses You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playin' Start askin me the names that I'm not sayin' But I'm tryin to be bigger than the bickerin' Bigger than the petty name callin' Under the breath talkin Rumors and labels and categorization I'm like a struggling doctor No patients But you can say what you want about me Keep talkin' while I'm walkin away [Hook - John Legend] You can say what you have to say Cause my mind's made up anyway I'm taking the high road going above you This is the last time that I'm gonna trust you You can say what you have to say Cause my mind's made up anyway All that bullshit you talk might work a lot But it's not gonna work today [Verse 2 - Mike Shinoda] You people are running off at the mouth Tryin to make me take myself off safety Tryin to make my friends turn their backs on the team we built Buildin' up some mistaken information And I can't take this Let me spell it out plain for you Angry groups complain about the things we do I'm not changing direction, I'm stepping my game up Maintainin my name, the same way I came up You're gonna see that I'm not playin' Start asking the names that I'm not sayin' But I'm tryin not to mention the names of people Who wanna sight and attention You like the hype but pretendin you're part of the picture won't pass You're like a high school dropout No class You can say what you want about me Keep talkin' while I'm walkin away Bitch [Hook] [Bridge - John Legend] Why does it always have to be Somebody's always watching me All I really need is some room to breathe (breathe, breathe) Is anybody out there listening? Cause I can't stand to keep this in All I really want, I'll say it again (yeah, yeah) (Like that) [Hook]
