Hey, yo

When this first started off

It was just Linkin Park

And then in the middle

Came Motion Man

And at the end of it all

It was Kutmasta Kurt

With a remix

One thing, I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme when I was obsessed with time

All I know, time was just slipping away

And I watched it count down to the end of the day

Watched it watch me and the words that I say

The echo of the clock rhythm in my veins

I know that I didn’t look out below

And I watched the time go right out the window

Tried to grab hold

Tried not to watch

I wasted it all on the hands of the clock

But in the end, no matter what I pretend

The journey is more important than the end or the start

And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

Hey, yo

One thing, I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

All I know, hah, I so-socialise

Like the host of the party

I spoke, shacked, and made eye contact

Partied and toasted strong, all that

Northeast, Southwest coast

I’m staring out the window

No opportunity to mingle

I tried to sew it up to weaken your system

I had you throwing up

I brought you back into things

Like the imaginary man of your dreams

You’d always seem to make it worth it

I pig-skin, I never nerf it

You felt like loving, never played real

I’m bringing the pleasure

By any means it means I’m leaving your team

Hell of a team, man it seems I tried so hard

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

Remix

One thing, I don’t know how

It doesn’t even matter when you look at it now

’Cause when I designed this rhyme

I was scared of it all, scared to fall, and I hadn’t even tried to crawl

But I was forced to run with you mocking me, stopping me, backstabbing me constantly

Remembering all the times you fought with me

Watch the clock now chock-full of hypocrisy

But now your mouth wishes it could inhale

Every single little thing you said to make things fail

Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece

But it really doesn’t matter to me

’Cause from the start to the end, no matter what I pretend

The journey is more important than the end or the start

And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn’t even matter
