Welcome to Gaia! ::

Remember the name

you ready? let's go

for those of you that wanna know what we're all about, it's like this yo (c'mon)

[chorus]
this is 10 % luck, 20% skill,
15 % concentrated power of will
5% pleasure
50% pain
and 100% reason to remember the name

mike, he doesn't need his name up in lights
he just wants to be heard, wether it's the beat or the mic
he feels so unlike everybody else, alone
inspite of the fact that some people still think that they know him but no
he knows the code
it's not about the salary
it's all about reality
and makin some noise
makin a story, makin sure his clique stays up
that means when he puts it down, Tak's pickin it up, let's go

who the hell is he anyway?
he never really talks much
never concerned with status
but still leavin them star struck
humble through opportunities given dispite the fact
that many misjudge cause he makes a livin from writin raps
put it together himself, now the picture connects
never askin for someone's help (help) to get some respect
he's only focused on what he wrote, he's will is beyond reach
and when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

this is 20% skill, 80% real be 100% clear cause ryu is ill
who would've thought he's be the one that set the west in flames
and i heard wreckin with the crystal method name of the game
came back, dropped, megadef
took him to church
i like bleach man
why you have the stupidest verse
this dude is the truth, now everyone is givin him guest spots
in stocks through the roof i heard him messin with s-dot

[chorus]

they call him ryu the sick
cause he's spittin fire at mike
got him out the dryer he's hot
found him in fort minor with tak
he's a f***in annihilist porcipine
he's a p**** he's a c***
tight women wanna be with him
rappers hope he gets shot
8 years in the makin patiently waitin to blow
now the record with shinoda's takin over the globe
he's got a partner in crime, this s*** is equally dope
you wont believe the kind of s** that comes out of this kid's throat tak
