Hey, yo, when this first started off it was just Linkin Park
And then in the middle came Motion Man
And at the end of it all, it was Kutmasta Kurt with a remix

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
When I was obsessed with time

All I know, time was just slipping away
And I watched it count down to the end of the day
Watched it watch me and the words that I say
The echo of the clock rhythm in my veins

I know that I didn't look out below
When I watched the time go right out the window
Trying to grab hold, trying not to watch
I wasted it all on the hands of the clock

But in the end, no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end or the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time when...

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

Ay, yo, one thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time

All I know, hah, I so-socialize
Like the host of the party I spoke, shaked, and made eye contact
Partied and toasted strong, all that
Northeast, Southwest coast I'm staring out the window

No opportunity to mingle
I tried to sew it up, you weaken your system and had to throw it up
I brought you back into things like imaginary man of your dreams
You'd always seem to make it worth it

I pig-skin, I never nerf it
You felt leather, never pleather real bringing the pleasure
By any means, it means I'm leaving your team
Hell of a team, man, it seems but...

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

In the end
Kutmasta Kurt remix

One thing, I don't know how
It doesn't even matter when you look at it now
'Cause when I designed this rhyme, I was scared of it all
Scared to fall and hadn't even tried to crawl

But I was forced to run, with you mocking me
Stopping me, backstabbing me constantly
Remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock now, chock full of hypocrisy

But now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing you said to make things fail
Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece
But it really doesn't matter to me

'Cause from the start to the end, no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end or the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time when...

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

In the end
