Linkin Park – Step Up chords

[Intro]

N.C.

Yo...

 

[Verse 1]

G#m

Watch as the room rocks, mentally moonwalk

 

Mixed Media slang banging in your boom box

E

Verbal violence, lyrical stylist

 

In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish

 

G#m

You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty

 

Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC

E

With your lack of skill and facility, you're killing me

 

And a DJ in the group just for credibility

 

G#m

I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes

 

You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines

E

Rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer

 

‘Cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years

 

G#m

But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up

 

All after a fast buck, and all the tracks suck

E

So how does it stack up? None of it's real

 

You want to be an MC, you've got to study the skill

 

[Chorus]

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

C#m                  F#m

Bring it to you every time like this?

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

A5                  B

Step, step up! Step, step up!

 

 

[Verse]

G#m

So, you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity

 

But mentally, you don't have the hip hop energy

E

With a tendency to make up stories (Bullshit)

 

Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40

 

G#m

And your record company is completely missing it

 

All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate

E

So in a battle, you can't hack it, react with whack shit

 

And get smacked with verbal back flips

 

G#m

Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts

 

It's taken decades for MC's to establish this

E

You're new to hip-hop, and welcome if your serious

 

But not on the mic, leave that to the experienced

 

G#m

Using the waves of sound

A5                 B  A              G#m

The true master paralyzes his opponents

  F#m    G#m             B

Leaving him vulnerable to attack

 

 

[Chorus]

 

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

C#m                  F#m

Bring it to you every time like this?

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

A5                  B

Step, step up! Step, step up!

 

 

[Bridge]

G#m                                     A

After years of pain-staking research by the world's leading sound scientists

G#m                                     A

We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system

G#m                                     A                                G#m

Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack and

 A

neutralize the cellular structure of the human body And the question must be asked…

 

 

[Chorus]

 

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

C#m                  F#m

Bring it to you every time like this?

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

A5                  B

Step, step up! Step, step up!

 

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

C#m                  F#m

Bring it to you every time like this?

G#m                  E5 D#5

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

A5                  B

Step, step up! Step, step up!
