Mike Shinoda - Lift Off Lyrics






(I'm off of the Earth, on a ride, alone)
Yeah

Lift off like Virgin Galactic
My Richard's too Branson to fuck with you bastards
Very legendary that's some matter-of-fact shit
You're the opposite of stars, like rats spelled backwards
I flow poems out to Saturn and past it
Easy as a standard anti-gravity backflip
Satellite tracking can't map up my tactics
I spit the same shit they split an atom in half with
No, it's not what I want but it had to be
I spent 6 months just recharging my battery
Imagine me quitting, what a travesty that'd be
You space shuttle Challengers are nothing but tragedies
So take care on the path that you're headed
I'm the father to your style, don't' you ever forget it
I don't drop mics, only let it smoke where I set it
And I don't play, even when they press it, get it?

I'm off of the Earth, on a ride, alone
I'm drifting away, out of time, afloat
Away from the truth, away from the night, away from the day
I'm off of the Earth, on a ride, alone

Please brace for impact
I must've went to space and got sent back
But I'm still intact
In fact, take a picture of me
You can see that I'm a star with your lens cracked
Supernova, in Caesar's Palace stuntin' on my opponents
'Cause history'll show, we done been to war like Romans
Did that dance with the devil, hell hot as a kettle
So it's no wonder why I put this ice on all of my metal
And wear that shit like a medal
Use to think I was a joker, no Jared Leto
When I said I'd get us out the ghetto
Slam my foot on the pedal
Book the studio when I couldn't afford instrumentals
Fuck it, record a cappella
Flyin' coach dreaming Coachella until they banned me
Now they like Bambi's mother, dead, I'm on to these Grammys
I'm rollin' these grams gladly, purple and green like Daphne
Shades on like Velma, hair long like Shaggy
Crushin' addys in my water, got my voice raspy
Haven't slept since California and that shit was last week
Paranoid when I sleep, but when I'm high, I'm happy
That's why I need to kiss the sky when I get stuck in the valley
Lift off

I'm off of the Earth, on a ride, alone
I'm drifting away, out of time, afloat
Away from the truth, away from the night, away from the day
I'm off of the Earth, on a ride, alone

    His rap music is shit. I love Metal, I love Rap, have done forever. Mikes raps on Linkin park are infinitely better than this shit. Too many people feeding on his support or chesters death, Yes I get a great man died but dont let that base your judgement on bad music, Mikes raps on hybrid, reanimation and meteora are absolutely on point and are, to me, best rapper up there with biggie and eminem and im not settling for this. sorry/not sorry

    Dear Mike, I know this might sound crazy but I could swear you and I are on the same frequency, no joke man your one lyric “easy as a standard antigravity backflip” Definitely speaks to me in many ways cause I can remember I said it in the car with my homie about two years and some change ago no joke thank you so much for being such a light to me and I promise I’m working on my craft to be just like you spit the type of rhymes you do, “everybody on board as we blend, the sword with the pen, the mightiest of weapons swinging right for the chin, to elevate mental states long gone with the winds, to defend men from shoddy imitation pretends” thank you Mike so much dude your music literally saves me from snapping I’m a prior Marine who’s so inspired by your work, the first book I’ve ever ordered was your art book you just released thank you so much for releasing PT I could honestly say it had as much effect as Chesters Grey Daze and hell even all the way back to Faez One always your loyal Marine remember you’re “a five star general infantry controller” no joke Mike!! thank you so much god bless you and the work and soul you put into your artwork and music I can’t wait to receive your book man love you tons no joke keep your head up the whole worlds watching you now, Sir

  31. N.... M....

    you are just killing it solo man i love all these tracks

  32. M.... ....

    I'm thinking how beautiful this song would be with Chester's voice

  33. a.... l....

    mike you are a really talented rapper but chester fucked you up because the two of you made the magic...

  34. M.... H....

    I can’t even keep count of how many times I have watched this incredible video to this amazing song!!! This song is so perfect for what it is!!! Mike’s Intro, background music, MGK, and Chino doing what he does with those Sweet Sweet lyrics and his voice!!! Love watching Legends write together and create amazing Art like this!!!!

  35. B.... ....

    Mike is about to blow up like nobody has ever seen this coming year.

  36. T.... A....

    so much good artists but such a crappy song

  37. S.... ....

    So Beautyful🙏😇❤

  38. N.... M....

    Chino Moreno's voice ...ohh myy.. a perfect cosy trip to unknown

  39. M.... J....

    I dig this! Mike killin it again and again! LIFT OFF brudda!

  40. J.... F....

    Excellent collaboration Mike you're one of my favorite rappers of rap metal

  41. K.... O....

    Good to hear you sounding so fly Mike Shinoda.
    MGK rappin' like rappers rap too, Son, nice track.
    What's up Chino Moreno of Deftones. Fun fact I bought the Deftones album several times simply because I always thought that was such a cool band name, "Deftones", pretty cool, although I have only really connected with one or two tracks. As far as hard music I like VOD, Zao, Hed(pe), Rage, Korn... and I just got the urge to hear White Zombie's "More Human Than Human". I always thought it would have been a cooler line to say "more human than you man!".
    One Love
    ko

  42. B.... M....

    Why am I just hearing this ??!!?!

  43. K.... K....

    2K19 ❤️

  44. E.... R....

    Just dont feel it, there is no mike without Chester for me

    E.... R....

    You're canceling a whole ass person because of Chester's death, that is a little cruel

  45. H.... 6....

    Should of done a feature with yelawolf

  46. S.... K....

    I honestly think Chino has some amazing ideas about music right not and Linkin Park could use something like these, even if it means make 'im your frontman

  47. R.... ....

    ❤❤❤

  48. E.... R....

    Foda!!!!

  49. E.... R....

    Chino Moreno e Mike Shinoda juntos! Já posso morrer em paz ❤

  50. J.... E....

    MGK sure talks about doing Addies abunch. I hope he's okay.

  51. m.... ....

    I'm barely discovering this gem in the rough. Been slackin'.

  52. A.... B....

    I don’t think y’all understand how good MGK’s verse was. Shinoda killed it too of course.

  53. I.... J....

    Mike came in with a bunch of puns and MGK just said a bunch of random shit.

  54. S.... O....

    I've read most the comments and here's my response to it. Eminem and linkin park already did a few collaborations "Collison Course" where they mixed up his and their songs together. And yes while Mike may be underrated there is beauty in that because only a few stumble across a beautiful and talented musician such as him. Making him understand unique. Also to all the fans that loathe the fact that Mike worked with mgk get over yourselves cause I know for a fact that lp and Mike shindig fans don't whine about that carp cause they've always and will always do collaborations with different artists. There's my 2 cents on this cancer of a comment section.

    S.... O....

    Ps fuck autocorrect

  55. a.... b....

    Wish I could see "Linkin park.ft Eminem" one day!

  56. A.... V....

    LP fans, who would you like to replace Chester?

  57. B.... t....

    ЛАЙК НЕГЛЯДЯ НА*УЙ!!!!!!!!11

  58. M.... G....

    I don't have a words how this song is amazing

  59. D.... G....

  60. A.... J....

    This legend needs to be noticed by the world.His song lift off should receive 150M+views

    *Lift off (feat. Chino Moreno and Man Got Killed) there I fixed the title.

  66. P.... R....

    28th November 2019 and I'm still listening. Linkin Park as a whole has been a massive influence on me. I will never tire of listening to your albums and Mike, your new solo stuff is amazing. Huge respects to you all.

  67. A.... ....

    I do enjoy the song. Best line "like Bambi's motha dead".I have to laugh a lil, just so unexpected line in the song. The rest of it flows well. Just maybe shouldn't unpraise the fact that a mother was protecting her child becuz parenting is killer shizz aka awesome. You could of said "Like velcro shoes...dead" ? *Srry animator here- it really stuck out, haha

  68. A.... D....

    Mike is an awesome rapper ..... Recently did a cover on one his songs acoustic really enjoyed it

  69. T.... f....

    Very good song, by 3 amazingly talented artists

  70. s.... b....

    🔥🔥🔥

  71. S.... W....

    I don't care if you're here to spread hate after the mgk Eminem bs half a year back. What Mgk's done for lp and Chester will always stay in a special place in my heart.

    S.... W....

    He didn't do anything for them. They did something for him.

    S.... W....

    @Rescue Rabbit I think telling a person that they're loved means more than anything else friend

  72. N.... �....

    сука кто поставил Дислайк

  73. �.... T....

    Keep listening since i discovered this song... Well done Mike!
    -Linkin Park

  74. n.... s....

  75. L.... ....

    このサウンドたまんないよな!!!???

  76. N.... ....

    Such a soothing beat.....

  77. c.... c....

    All you guys are dumb... Plus i legitimately think mike is a god of the rao game. He has more cred than any1 im 2019 idk how mgk got on his track let alone just chillin with the boy lol

  78. P.... E....

    Damnnnn two of my favs together I’m interested to see how this song isn

  79. P.... A....

    Damn you can still see the hurt in mikes face I hope one day he can overcome this depression

  80. B.... D....

    Ok anyone else get Eazy E vibes with Shinodas verse in this song?

    Like its got a late 80s/early 90s vibe.

  81. I.... ....

    Im ashamed to be a deftones fan now
    ..

  82. R.... H....

    This is such a weird collab... And I couldn't be happier...

  83. T.... S....

    I miss mike n Linkin Park

  84. J.... V....

    Am loving this song so peacefully r.i.p. Chester 🙏

  85. M.... G....

    In my opinion MGk held this song back everyone else killed it!

  86. F.... 4....

    This song is pure genius, great work!!

  87. C.... M....

    This song is so fulfilling.. everything is so perfectly done..well done !

  88. O.... G....

    Mike, MGK and Chino ♥️♥️♥️♥️

  89. D.... T....

    But hey, never forget: „MGK is fucking mumble rapper“ ~ a Stan

  90. L.... S....

    Can we just have Fort Minor back with these three?

  91. J.... A....

    Machine gun kelly cant rap dude has zero flow and I saw 10 year olds that are tougher than him.

    J.... A....

    Another Stan dealing with broken ears, I’m so sry 4 u

  92. J.... B....

    I don't play, even when they press me.. get it?

  93. V.... ....

    Rip Chester great song Mikee

  94. D.... K....

    This is what I don't think Eminem can ever understand. You can't be a good lyricist and not have a good instrumental. Music and lyrics go together. Shit made me cry the first time I heard it. MGK has the best beats Mike has the best beats. And Chino us from the Deftones and I've never heard them but I bet you their instrumentals are good. Eminem has only a few songs with that but not enough to make him a good artist. Just a good rapper.

  95. T.... A....

    i like how this was from last year and i only now heard of it, i gotta admit, its not bad, not my kinda music but still not bad

  96. a.... ....

    This is unbelievable!!

  97. J.... S....

    Mike is Legendary. That's a matter of fact shit. Rest in paradise Chester.
