[Verse: Mike Shinoda]
And it goes like - bang!
And they're off and runnin'
Lookin' around like someone do somethin'
Scatter but it don't matter, I come gunnin'
So little time to squeeze all this fun in
Ah man!
Comin' at you now
Stupid enough to stand
We'll back you down
Like
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What?
No it can't be stopped
Break out ya little riot, get it call the cops
Call the SWAT team, gimme all you got
The finger ready on the trigger
And we're callin' the shots, so
Y'all really gonna brawl or not
My best bet's you probably gonna stall or stop
Got gall, my crew rocks, up into ya block
And when I sit back
And put a hole in your chateau, ha
We don't huff and puff
We'll turn your homeland and stuff to a gust of dust
But I'm back, you act like enough's enough
Say a peep and I promise we'll fuck you up
Skip the rep for the sake of the family
I don't have to say a word, y'all understand me
Stand up I'll put you back down flat
And we'll keep it like, like, like that!

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
