[Verse 1]
Why's everybody always picking on me?
(Why's everybody always picking on me?)
Does anybody really know a thing about me?
(Does anybody really know a thing about me?)
One of these days we'll be in the same place
In the same place punk, at the very same time (Yeah!)
And when it takes place and you wanna talk shit
Then step your ass up and say it right to my face!

[Chorus]
You'll get knocked the fuck out!
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out!
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash

[Verse 2]
I ain't believing all the shit you been talking 'bout me
(I ain't believing all the shit you been talking 'bout me)
Don't even know me and still you're talking shit about me
(Don't even know me and still you're talking shit about me)
Well, one of these days I'm gonna catch you in the act
In the act, red handed, caught up in the act (Punk!)
And that'll be the day, your one and only day
Then step your ass up and say it right to my face!

[Chorus]
You'll get knocked the fuck out!
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out!
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash

[Post-Chorus]
(Shh...)
So where you at? Where you been?
I'm sure I'll be seeing you again
'Cause this world is really small
Can't we all get along, can't we all get along?
So where you at? Where you been?
I'm sure I'll be seeing you again
'Cause this world is really small
Can we all get along, can we all get along?

[Bridge]
I'm upset at the people who verbally rape us, we're talking
We try to ignore them, ignore them until they keep talking
They think that they're building an empire without us
Well we've got the torch now
We've got the fire to burn this motherfucker down, town, town
We've got the fire to burn this motherfucker down, town, town
Burn this motherfucker now, down, down!!
Burn this motherfucker now, down!!
Burn this motherfucker!!

[Chorus]
You'll get knocked the fuck out!!
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash
Knocked straight the fuck out!!
'Cause your mouth's writing checks that your ass can't cash!
That your ass can't cash!

[Outro]
Motherfucker
Just shut your fuckin' mouth!!
Bring it on Lethal
Come on!

Limp Bizkit

Limp Bizkit is a Nu-Metal group, formed in 1994 in Jacksonville, Florida, and consisting of Fred Durst, Sam Rivers, John Otto and Wes Borland. They are currently signed to Birdman’s Cash Money Records.

They have released 5 studio albums and one EP, with 3 compilation records and a remix album, New Old Songs. Two of those albums went number one, and it’s estimated they have sold over 50 million records worldwide.

Notable for their bridging of the gap between hip hop and metal, Fred Durst can be considered a rapper and a singer. Their collaborations with Method Man and Snoop Dogg solidify their street cred, and a high profile beef with Eminem only places them further into hip hop culture.
