Lyrics & Translation
English
[Mike Shinoda:]
Yo
Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC
With your lack of skill and facility
You're killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
'Cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of it's real
You want to be an MC you've got to study the skill
[Mike Shinoda:]
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip-hop you've heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for MCs to establish this
You're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced
Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack
[Mike Shinoda:]
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
[2x]
After years of pain-staking research by the world's leading sound scientists, we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body, and the question must be asked.

Step up the microphone

Step Up (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[Mike Shinoda:]
Yo
Mira cómo la sala se mueve
Moonwalk mentalmente
Jerga de medios mixtos
Sonando en tu boombox violencia verbal
Estilista lírico
En un tiempo donde las rimas de rock hip-hop son infantiles
No puedes tentarme con rimas vacías
Rapear sobre un ritmo no te hace un MC
Con tu falta de habilidad y facilidad
Me estás matando
Y un DJ en el grupo solo por credibilidad
Escuché que algunos de ustedes reciben ayuda con sus rimas
No eres un MC si alguien más escribe tus líneas
Y rapear sobre rock no te hace un pionero
Porque el rock y el hip-hop han colaborado por años
Pero ahora se mezclan y combinan al azar
Todo por dinero fácil y todas las canciones apestan
Entonces, ¿cómo se compara? Nada es real
Quieres ser un MC, tienes que estudiar la habilidad
[Mike Shinoda:]
¿Quién puede hacer una rima así?
¿Traértelo cada vez así?
¿Quién puede hacer una rima así?
Paso, adelante, paso, adelante
[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]
Así que tomas un bolígrafo y te escribes una nueva identidad
Pero mentalmente no tienes la energía del hip-hop
Con una tendencia a inventar historias
Sonando como si el único hip-hop que has oído fuera el top 40
Y tu compañía discográfica lo está perdiendo por completo
Todos los chicos lo están despreciando por no ser legítimo
Así que en una batalla no puedes con ello
Reacciona con porquería
Y ser golpeado con volteretas verbales
Que te pateen el trasero fabulosos catalizadores de batalla
Ha tomado décadas para que los MCs establezcan esto
Eres nuevo en el hip-hop y bienvenido si eres serio
Pero no en el micrófono
Deja eso a los experimentados
Usando las ondas de sonido el verdadero maestro paraliza a sus oponentes, dejándolos vulnerables al ataque
[Mike Shinoda:]
¿Quién puede hacer una rima así?
¿Traértelo cada vez así?
¿Quién puede hacer una rima así?
Paso, adelante, paso, adelante
[2x]
Después de años de minuciosa investigación por parte de los principales científicos de sonido del mundo, nosotros, aquí en el instituto del sonido, hemos inventado un sistema de armas de audio confiable. Movimiento real del sonido musical en el espacio utilizado para atacar y neutralizar cuidadosamente la estructura celular del cuerpo humano, y la pregunta debe ser hecha.
[Mike Shinoda:]
¿Quién puede hacer una rima así?
¿Traértelo cada vez así?
¿Quién puede hacer una rima así?
Paso, adelante, paso, adelante! [2x]
Mezcla de medios [3x]
Sube al micrófono
Y lo haces así
Y lo haces como
Sube al micrófono
Mezcla de medios
Y lo haces así
Mezcla de medios
Sube al micrófono
Y lo haces así
Mezcla de medios
Sube al micrófono
Y lo haces así
