Petrified Lyrics by Fort Minor

The Rising Tied

2005

[Intro]
Y'all are not not re-ready (Yo), not re-ready (Yo)
We about to drop it steady (So)
Do it like that (Like that)
Like that (Like that), like that (Like that), like that
[Chorus]
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
[Verse 1]
How you doin' ya'll? My name's Mike
I'm fluent with the new shit, I'm doin' it all night
I like what I do, I do what I like
I can quit and get it back, like I'm riding a bike
Like stop, bring it back, bring it back
We got that balance keepin' us on track
That you get when you're moving quick with no slow
You stare like you don't care, but you do though
[Pre-Chorus]
I know, you really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you're tough but so phony
You and your boys you don't know me
You really wanna hold me? Show me, homie
Let's get it over with for good
I got a friction addiction I wish you would
Machine Shop rocking when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified
[Chorus]
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
[Verse 2]
Listen: You are not ready
Like children and a building you can't stand steady
It must be the beat so heavy
Causin' panic attacks like a crack in the levy
Give you that Robert-Plant
Dancing-days-are-back feeling all in the track
And in fact, for those knowing the name I'm back
With some brand new crack we can do it like that
[Pre-Chorus]
You really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you're tough but so phony
You and your boys you don't know me
You really wanna hold me? Show me, homie
Tough talk doesn't mean a thing
Get over yourself, you know when we're up in the scene
It's Machine Shop rocking when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified
[Chorus]
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
[Bridge]
Y'all are not not re-ready (Yo), not re-ready (Yo)
We about to drop it steady (So)
Do it like that (Like that)
Like that (Like that), like that (Like that), like that
Y'all are not not re-ready (Yo), not re-ready (Yo)
We about to drop it steady (So)
Do it like that (Like that)
Like that (Like that), like that (Like that), like that
Get up
[Chorus]
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Now why's everybody so petrified? (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
Drop that (C'mon)
[Outro]
Like stop (Stop)
Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance, keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop)
Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance, keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop)
Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance, keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop)
Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance, keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop)
Machine Shop (Shop)
