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 and the fame
Nor a sane person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a 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
Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker
Lauryn said money change a situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said a Uzi weighs a mother fucking ton
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/when-they-come-for-me-lyrics-linkin-park.html ]
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage in every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken Imma state that 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
Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker
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 mother fucker

ATS is the best album of Linkin Park by my thoughts.

On a similar note, BlackAngel96, if that's your comment on this song, obviously you've missed the entire point of the song. The song's here stating "even a blueprint's a gift and a curse, 'cause once you got a theory of the thing works, everyone wants the next thing to be just like the first." Have you ever seen a band call out the people who lost their faith because the band wanted to become more musical? Well, I loved the entire CD, and this song made me respect Linkin Park that much more. I prefer them as musicians than the cookie cutter band that apparently people want them to be.

Lol BlackAngel96, have you even listened to the album? Wethes And Kings is a hardcore rap song too. The beat is the best on it.
BlackAngel96
