Linkin Park - When They Come For Me Lyrics






I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame
Or the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain and then found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
'Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up, motherfucker

And all the people say
Try to catch up, motherfucker

Lauryn said money change the situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said an Uzi weigh a motherfucking ton
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken, I'mma say it for the record
I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat, synonym of crack
Closest to a peak, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up motherfucker

And all the people say
Try to catch up, motherfucker

When they come for me, come for me I'll be gone [3x]

And all the people say
Try to catch up, motherfucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up, motherfucker

[Through a megaphone]:
Seguridad del estado
Estás a salvo
Toda la gente
Preste atencion
Escuchenme bien ahora mismo

  10. M.... A....

    For those of you who don't like Linkin Park after Meteora, Mike has a message for you.

  11. N.... C....

    The sky do u lose a star or gain one to light the way in darkness

  12. N.... C....

    Sometimes pain and hurt , tears bring the right one to help when they come .

  13. M.... J....

    This song brings me back to the DmC: Devil May Cry reboot for some reason. I remember seeing these lyrics in a fan fiction for the game.

  14. A.... B....

    this is amazing
    SALUDOS DESDE COSTA RICA 🇨🇷

  15. T.... ....

    I will forever -- FOREVER -- be in love with Chester's vocals in this song. The lilts he puts on his vocals during the chorus, and then the bits at the end of the song (bridge? idk). His vocals always reminded me of the female vocalists from India during this song. And it's just so beautiful.

  16. j.... g....

    LP Forever!

  17. S.... P....

    A Thousand Suns is a masterpiece of a album.

  18. M.... M....

    "aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh" - When you try the ketchup

  19. I.... M....

    to be honest, I am really glad that LP changed over time instead of just doing the same and same stuff over and over again like many other bands would have done.

  20. J.... K....

    im love LP for like 10 years, meteora and HT was always top for me but this song.. is my favorite of them all.

  21. I.... ....

    The beat fits well for Indian movie

  22. W.... S....

    This beat is awesome dance

  23. J.... G....

    3:00 when they come for me...

  24. j.... 1....

    Alguém?

  25. A.... d....

    Haha! I came here to type TRY THE KETCHUP MOTHERFUCKER! thinking I'd be the first. XD

  26. D.... ....

    I might be the only one that came here from the car Radio. anyways, always try the ketchup MATHAFACKAH!

  27. L.... E....

    I've been searching for like half an hour to find that song it really is one of ma faves

  28. G.... ....

    When they come for me. I'll be ready for u

  29. I.... L....

    This must have been the easiest song for Chester to perform live

  30. S.... A....

    Listening in 2019

  31. A.... ....

    This song also relates to Osama Bin Laden, so accurately lmao

    A.... ....

    Night visions as your display pic <3

  32. A.... ....

    Why does Uzi weigh a mother fucking ton?

  33. x.... ....

    As a reminder, this album is called A THOUSAND SUNS because of the 2 bombs HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI.
    Check out the lyrics, they are pure art.

  34. D.... ....

    so after listening to through the entire song and looking through all the comments i still see alot of talking but... has anyone actually tried the ketchup?

  35. T.... U....

    4:18 I feel like an Arabian

  36. R.... ....

    Every time I hear a LP song, I think of Chester, what he went through and how it ended, and my heart breaks all over again. I honestly don't think I'll ever get over it.

  37. T.... ....

    2M veiws and only 18k likes.



    *Unacceptable!*

  38. V.... ....

    Escuchenme ahora mismo...

  39. M.... A....

    I see people saying this song has got Arabic vibe to it, but i feel it got more of a Indian music vibe...especially the last part..

  40. �.... ....

    this is strange album.

  41. U.... ....

    28 de julio de 2019 y aún lo sigo escuchando ❤️

  42. M.... D....

    I've always loved that wildness in this music and vocals. The caos and cruelness of the world that make us go mad sometimes.

  43. A.... C....

    When they come for me is an iconic anti fascist poem. This song is a protest against all the racism, sexism, class division, nationalism in our society. Of course not all people can digest such strong lyrics but in 2011 with Occupy movement, Arab spring happening, people rising in protest across countries this was the perfect timing.

  44. l.... M....

    That album name reminds me of strawhat ship name

  45. S.... A....

    July 2019?

    S.... A....

    MEEEEEE!!!!!

    S.... A....

    @Joseph Greenhorn LP Forever.......

  46. R.... !....

    If any song screams badass this is it

  47. u.... ....

    I didn’t like this song that much until i heard 2:54

  48. B.... H....

    Chester I hope when they came for you, you were gone.

  49. B.... H....

    The honking sound at the very beginning of this song is Morris Code for "try to catch up Mathafackah!"

  50. F.... T....

    Try the KETCHUP and the mustard!

  51. A.... C....

    WWWWWWWWWWWWMWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWMWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWMWWWWWWWWWWWWMWWWWW

  74. G.... ....

    Try the ketchup muthaf$$er and all the people say aaaaahaaaaaaahahaaaaàaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa

  75. c.... ....

    This is probably the funkiest, funniest song they ever made. I love it. Sometimes when they perform live, I feel as if Chester is trying to hold back his laugh; and I see Mike giggling sometimes. LOLOLOL

  76. A.... ....

    This is the best song on this album

  77. g.... ....

    Oh,
    When they come for me,
    I'll be gone... !!!

    RIP Chester!

  78. M.... U....

    1:47 TRY THE KETCHUP MOTHERF****R!

  79. O.... S....

    This song is one of my favorites, so good. I'm so glad Mike played this live on his solo tour. It was one of the most epic parts of the set
    The studio version is amazing, but the live version is one of the most epic things I've ever heard.
    I also love the memes that came out of this song, specifically all the ketchup memes and the "I'm not a robot" verification memes

  80. W.... K....

    Every stage of your life demands a new version of you!! Are you ready for that?

  81. F.... A....

    T-Series got competition.

  82. u.... ....

    mike: try 2 catch up motherfucka
    mike also: OK GUYS SO I DREW THESE CUTE LITTLE FACES ON MY SOCKS AND LOOK WHAT I MADE

  83. M.... ....

    This song should’ve gotten a music video

  84. T.... I....

    Try the Ketchup Motherfucker

  85. x.... ....

    The instrumental sounds like the background music from a Sicario movie

  86. J.... G....

    I guess they came for him...

    J.... G....

    Jude Groomes, I believe the they he’s referring to are the people who criticized the musical direction they took with A Thousand Suns.

  87. s.... ....

    nin + massive attack

  88. d.... f....

    This is some badass Egyptian like music

  89. S.... N....

    Sounds like a combination between Arabic vibe with rock and industrial

  90. M.... A....

    This should be the go to song for WWE for the next Saudi Arabia PPV. Of course, lyrics need to be censored because of PG restrictions. This will definitely hype for a good show.

  91. V.... T....

    secret is easy: when they come for where youre very-well known to be: congrats.

  92. J.... D....

    TRÁS O CATCHUP FILHA DA PUTAAAA

  93. A.... K....

    Don't give me heavy doses of prescribed pills for me, okay?
