Standing In The Middle by Linkin Park
Lyrics & Translation
English
[Mike Shinoda:]
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Yo, y'all better wake up, you think we don't see y'all drifting?
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position (position)?
Sit straight and listen what you are missing
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
No indecision, I spit right
Heavy as a fist fight
No gloves and no masks
No pain and no slack
No way to look back
Nobody to say, I can't make my own path
'Cause the way that y'all act, I wanna break something
Comin' at me like the pain I feel means nothing
Comin' from a place where you can't relate
Where every word from your face comes across as fake
And I can hardly take the way that y'all treat us
Sending this out to anyone who won't believe us
Spelling it out so y'all know the deal
And if you can't feel it, maybe you can't feel
[Motion Man:]
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
What are you saying?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
What are you writing?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
Tell 'em, Motion
[Motion Man:]
Eat your words
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
My conversation's stacked, I switch my defense on you
Every time you want to get deep, you'll see my knuckle package
Born to die, ferocious MC make you go back and write your rhymes
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
It moves, I'm strangling as I'm swinging as main mangler
I wanna D4, poach you as your seafood is C4
I'm gonna rap and you still knee-high
Y'all wanna train with me, guy? Man, it's destructive
Man, it's like jabs from boxing champ Lennox
Perfect for your head, I'll fit it like New Era hats
That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
Express myself with my hang-side
Then I extend one finger, the middle to fucking all crowds
[Motion Man:]
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
What are you sayin'?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
What are you writin'?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
[Mike Shinoda (Motion Man):]
Yo, Motion
(Yeah?)
Sometimes I feel it's like nothing that I ever do is ever good enough
(For real)
Like I should stop and go back to L.A
[Mike Shinoda:]
Back away where I know, I won't be seen
And nobody's gonna critique the music that I make
And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
Rapping on a track just to make a buck
For a mix-tape that sucks
And DJs that don't get it
But I been down that road and I know
People don't wanna go where I might go
Don't wanna know what it's like
To step outside your zone with a mic
Just controlling the hype
And if we need to take shots from them
And be stopped by them just to meet these ends
Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
I'm gonna spit 'til I got none left
Motion, where you at?
[Motion Man:]
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
What are you sayin'?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
What are you writin'?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it, middle of it, middle of it, middle of it, middle of it

Standing In The Middle (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[Mike Shinoda:]
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Yo, más les vale despertar, ¿creen que no los vemos a la deriva?
¿Durmiendo en el trabajo y olvidando su posición (posición)?
Siéntense derechos y escuchen lo que se están perdiendo
Preparo un lote, caliente directo de la cocina
Sin indecisión, escupo bien
Pesado como una pelea a puñetazos
Sin guantes y sin máscaras
Sin dolor y sin holgura
Sin forma de mirar atrás
Nadie que diga, no puedo hacer mi propio camino
Porque la forma en que actúan, quiero romper algo
Viniendo a mí como si el dolor que siento no significara nada
Viniendo de un lugar con el que no pueden relacionarse
Donde cada palabra de su boca parece falsa
Y apenas puedo soportar la forma en que nos tratan
Enviando esto a cualquiera que no nos crea
Deletreándolo para que sepan el trato
Y si no pueden sentirlo, quizás no puedan sentir
[Motion Man:]
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Hombre, ¿quién eres?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
¿Qué estás diciendo?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
¿Qué estás escribiendo?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Hombre, ¿quién eres?
Diles, Motion
[Motion Man:]
Trágate tus palabras
Di lo que solías decir y actúa como solías actuar
Cada vez que oías que mi ocupación era un ataque de rap (ataque de rap)
Mi conversación está apilada, cambio mi defensa sobre ti
Cada vez que quieras profundizar, verás mi paquete de nudillos
Nacido para morir, MC feroz te hace volver y escribir tus rimas
Mi estilo se atraganta como un jugador de béisbol de ligas menores
Se mueve, estoy estrangulando mientras balanceo como el principal destrozador
Quiero un D4, cazarte furtivamente como tu marisco es C4
Voy a rapear y tú sigues a la altura de la rodilla
¿Quieren entrenar conmigo, amigo? Hombre, es destructivo
Hombre, es como golpes del campeón de boxeo Lennox
Perfecto para tu cabeza, lo ajustaré como los gorros New Era
Eso remata los trajes, etiqueta B-boy
Me expreso con mi lado colgante
Luego extiendo un dedo, el del medio para joder a todas las multitudes
[Motion Man:]
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Hombre, ¿quién eres?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
¿Qué estás diciendo?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
¿Qué estás escribiendo?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Hombre, ¿quién eres?
[Mike Shinoda (Motion Man):]
Yo, Motion
(¿Sí?)
A veces siento que nada de lo que hago es lo suficientemente bueno
(En serio)
Como si debiera parar y volver a L.A.
[Mike Shinoda:]
Volver a donde sé que no seré visto
Y nadie va a criticar la música que hago
Y confundirme con algún puto chaval con mochila
Rapeando en una pista solo para ganar un dólar
Por un mixtape que apesta
Y DJs que no lo entienden
Pero he recorrido ese camino y sé
La gente no quiere ir a donde yo podría ir
No quieren saber cómo es
Salir de tu zona con un micrófono
Solo controlando el bombo
Y si necesitamos recibir disparos de ellos
Y ser detenidos por ellos solo para cumplir estos fines
Entonces que así sea, no aguantaré la respiración
Voy a escupir hasta que no me quede nada
Motion, ¿dónde estás?
[Motion Man:]
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Hombre, ¿quién eres?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
¿Qué estás diciendo?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
¿Qué estás escribiendo?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
Hombre, ¿quién eres?
Estoy parado en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello, en medio de ello
