A poem to a game i hate with a fiery passion
By BushMaster
A hammer a pot, its easy i thought, foolish i was to be.
i climbed and i fell, while the voice of death had a story to tell.
over rocks, over rubble. over furniture and over oranges, there was no end.
Because whenever i'd move, the slightest touch will send be back to hell again.
But nigh i persisted, over the church and over the rocks. I was at the snake.
The snake stared beckoning me to its lair, the bucket stood tall and sure to make me fall.
i tried and i tried, but every time i jumped the bucket would deny me of my passage.
A jump and a skip, a hop and a flick. Nothing seemed to work.
Well i had enough and put that hammer on that bucket and soared.
But that was only the beginning, the ice wall stood tall blocking me, stalling me.
No match for what iv'e already faced, a fools challenge anyone could defeat with no problem.
This was it the final jump, a tower signaling its defeat, i climbed and i climbed made to the top...
and fell with my hammer stuck behind.

Welcome to San Andreas, I'm CJ from Grove Street.
Land of the heinous, gangbangers, and cold heat.
In Los Santos, neighbours get no sleep.
Beefin' with anybody, competin' even police.

Four deep in a green rag with gold feet.
Blast with the flag on the strap - that's OG.
Stay in shape, hit the gym, lift the weights.
Get super cut, or big and buff - nice and straight.

You got stats: respect, weapon skill,
stamina, muscle, fat, and sex appeal.
You get clothes from Bincos and ProLaps.
Sub Urban, ZIP, Victim, and D. Sach.

Watch your back when in rival hoods.
They'll test just to guess if your survival's good (survival's good).
Duckin' shells at the Cluckin' Bell.
Jump out bustin', gunnin' till they tuck their tail.

It seem like I'm on impossible missions (impossible missions).
Twisted predicaments, hostile positions (hostile positions).
Tenpenny and Pulaski harass me.
Cop cars been on our ass the last past week.

Because the 'Dreas for the gangsters, homeboy.
Hands is the language for the bangers, homeboy.
And it's dangerous, homeboy.
Get your brains blew for how you do your fingers, homeboy.

Heat cocked, we popping hot ones.
Dump 'em out, bend the block, shaken before the cops come.
Listen for sirens. They don't got none.
Back another lap, catch a straggler with a shotgun.

Hittin' 'em up what that Grove Street like,
in a dirty sling shot, and old Levi.

[Intro: Chester Bennington]
It starts with one

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
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
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, d-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
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
