It's like this y'all (c'mon!)

[Chorus:]
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But fuck em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Making the story - making sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up! Let's go!

Who the hell is he anyway?
He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leaving them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a living from writing raps
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never asking for someone's help, or to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

This is twenty percent skill
Eighty percent fear
Be a hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
And I heard him wreck it with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church
I like bleach man, why you had the stupidest verse?
This dude is the truth, now everybody's giving him guest spots
His stock's through the roof I heard he's fuckin' with S. Dot!

[Chorus]

They call him Ryu, he's sick
And he's spitting fire
And mike got him out the dryer he's hot
Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
What a fuckin' nihilist porcupine
He's a prick, he's a cock
The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the making, patiently waiting to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's taking over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his shit is equally dope
You wont believe the kind of shit that comes out of this kid's throat

Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Making his way to the top
He often gets a comment on his name
People keep asking him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No he's living proof, got him rocking the booth
He'll get you buzzing quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent

Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those motherfuckers he runs with,
The kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying,
How do they do it?!

[Chorus - repeat 2x]

[Outro - Mike Shinoda:]
Yeah! Fort Minor
M. Shinoda - Styles of Beyond
Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop!

Venom Fang, Remember the name!

Half the story has never been told

But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you've seen the light
You stand up for your rights

Yeah! All around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:

Oh, now, now. Oh!
(I shot the sheriff.) - the sheriff.
(But I swear it was in selfdefence.)
Oh, no! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!
I say: I shot the sheriff - Oh, Lord! -
(And they say it is a capital offence.)
Yeah! (Ooh, ooh, oo-oh) Yeah!

Sheriff John Brown always hated me,
For what, I don't know:
Every time I plant a seed,
He said kill it before it grow -
He said kill them before they grow.
And so:

Read it in the news:
(I shot the sheriff.) Oh, Lord!
(But I swear it was in self-defence.)
Where was the deputy? (Oo-oo-oh)
I say: I shot the sheriff,
But I swear it was in selfdefence. (Oo-oh) Yeah!

Freedom came my way one day
And I started out of town, yeah!
All of a sudden I saw sheriff John Brown
Aiming to shoot me down,
So I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say:
If I am guilty I will pay.

(I shot the sheriff,)
But I say (But I didn't shoot no deputy),
I didn't shoot no deputy (oh, no-oh), oh no!
(I shot the sheriff.) I did!
But I didn't shoot no deputy. Oh! (Oo-oo-ooh)

Reflexes had got the better of me
And what is to be must be:
Every day the bucket a-go a well,
One day the bottom a-go drop out,
One day the bottom a-go drop out.
I say:

I - I - I - I shot the sheriff.
Lord, I didn't shot the deputy. Yeah!
I - I (shot the sheriff) -
But I didn't shoot no deputy, yeah! No, yeah!

Well the end of the world is coming some day...would you rather know when it was coming or not..thats the question ?

Why?

Space shuttle blew up again
People drop dead
News says "DON'T WORRY"
Then the truth comes out

Since 1988
Every shuttle in space
Has carried 46
Pounds of plutonium

Why?
I don't know
I'm scared to care

Enough plutonium
That if it blows
The fallout cancer
Could kill 5 billion people

So now it's over
It's really over
Space junk in the street
Irradiated atmosphere

Fallout covers the earth
Greenhouse so hot we fry
Six months, maybe years
We all know we'll die

So - what matters now?
NOTHING matters now
Imagine what would happen
If everyone on earth
Realized this at once

Gonna go loot stores!
Piss anywhere!
Break into peoples houses
Play with their underwear
Strew all my prizes in the street
You can't take it with you
Nothing left to do
But go home
And bolt the doors

Why?

Let's curl up real close
And tell each other
All the things we still don't know
About our lives

Why?

Falling space junk in the streets
Radiation in the air
Nothing left that's safe to eat
The sky is melting
And I want my mommy.

Aardvak got it WRONG!!!!!!!!!

[Hell_bound]

OK here is the deal...

You see in America right now, there is an economic meltdown occurring and in all honesty the Federal Reserve has not a clue how to fix this.

Why?

Because the economic problem that America faces is coming from multiple fronts: Soaring Energy Costs, Soaring Food Costs, the Housing Bubble Crash, Rising Unemployment, the Cost of Two Wars (Iraq and Afghanistan), and Key Nation-States who have either dropped the Dollar Peg or are diversifying their Currency Portfolio (namely going back to the gold standard): Such as Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Kuwait as well as other OPEC nations.

.'.

The rational, for the Republicans of the United States of America, for stemming this crisis is to get a hold of cheep energy resources...

See America consumes 20.73 million barrels per day of oil...

.'.

Among the top ten OPEC nations that export oil to the US...

Saudi Arabia, which is second only after Canada (and who is not in OPEC) for supplying oil to the US, exports ~12 million barrels per day total...

Venezuela, which is the forth biggest supplier (after Mexico, who is not in OPEC) of oil to the US, exports ~9.6 million barrels per day total...

Nigeria, which is the fifth biggest supplier of oil to the US, exports ~2 million barrels per day total...

Iraq, which is the sixth biggest supplier of oil to the US, exports ~2 million barrels per day total...

Angola, which is the seventh biggest supplier of oil to the US, exports ~1.8 million barrels per day total...

Algeria, which is the eighth biggest supplier of oil to the US, exports ~1.8 million barrels per day total...

And Kuwait, which is the tenth biggest supplier of oil to the US, exports ~3 million barrels per day total...

However, it should be noted that Iran, a nation that does not sell oil to the US, exports 3.5 million barrels per day...

.'.

The problem with the figures above is that they don't tell how much oil per day these Nation-States export to US; so to put this all into perspective...

Originally Posted by http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html

The top sources of US crude oil imports for April were Canada (1.952 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.453 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.259 million barrels per day), Nigeria (1.115 million barrels per day), and Venezuela (1.019 million barrels per day). The rest of the top ten sources, in order, were Iraq (0.679 million barrels per day), Angola (0.579 million barrels per day), Algeria (0.393 million barrels per day), Brazil (0.201 million barrels per day), and Kuwait (0.176 million barrels per day). Total crude oil imports averaged 9.921 million barrels per day in April, which is an increase of 0.303 million barrels per day from March 2008.

.'.

See the problem with this is that the US does not have the sole right to all that lovely oil...

20.73 million barrels per day of oil the US needs to stay competitive in the world...

20.73 million barrels per day, for without its economy would come to a grinding halt!


.'.


Now if we factor in the downward pressure in the value of the dollar as Nation-States either abandoning it or move away from it...

One sees that the value of oil goes up...

Now we have 20.73 million barrels per day that is almost four times as expensive as it was in 2001...

And when this happens basic economics of Capitalism states that every manufacturing industry, service industry or transportation industry must increase its costs to cover the increase in oil to be profitable...

Hence the soaring energy costs, food costs, and rising unemployment rate (and all this caused the current housing bubble to burst, which also caused the credit crisis)...

But this isn't only happen in the US, it is happening to all those nations that still hold on to the dollar as well...

.'.

It's strange, isn't that the world sits on the edge of a knife because people are not willing to see the long term problems of always seeking short term goals?

But, the rational goes like this...

If the US can push back Iran's military, nuclear infrastructure (by bombing the crap out of such infrastructures with nuclear bombs) for another 30 years...

They would be able to gain the second largest untapped reserve of oil, Iraq, for themselves...

No more would Iran able to train and weaponize insurgents to fight US troops in Iraq...

It would also cause other unruly Nations in the region to fall in line with US expectations...

Either play by our rules, or suffer as Iran did - so to speak...

Talk about a short term solution, eh?

But what of the long term repercussions...

.'.

In the republican eyes they matter not for no Nation can match the military might of the US...

None would dare challenge the military might of the US!

Or so they think...

.'.

However, what ever ill effects this would cause, the benefit is that with such a supply of oil that is the US' alone would allow the US not struggle...

It would keep its competitive edge in the world...

And it would also allow for all those energy costs, food costs, and rising unemployment rates to return to normal...

.'.

If you think this is all fiction, just look at what issues the US is concerned about when it comes to Venezuela, Nigeria, Iraq and Iran...

As they say, "The proof is in the pudding child..."

[Hydroxidee]

You really scare me you know that? I don't have any idea of what you are talking about.
