Mike Shinoda - Rest In Peace lyrics
[Intro: Nathan] Hi my name is Nathan And I love my mommy I miss her a lot Rest in peace mommy [Verse 1: Benny Boy] I don't know what you thought but this dude's got potential I'll keep you suspenseful just using a pencil I'll use all the lead to move and affect you Move you through dude's moods and direct you Through his whole lifetime, knew that he might find Split personalities up in his right mind Just at the right time, used a new lifeline Mad at the world so he started to write rhymes Stress came along, he would sketch a new song His mom's on his charm, and it's clinched in his palm He's depressed that she's gone And to even the odds, he's just screaming at God that he's wrong And he doesn't understand the reason for this punishment Jealous of the other kids, hugging on their mother it's Tougher just because of his, sister and his brother is Little kids, they don't get why they're raised motherless Asking him questions with fear all inside And the dude's choking up with some tears in his eyes He just smears them and cries But when people are near, he's just forced to appear that he's fine He done cried so much that it hurts him to breath But he takes a deep breath and spit words to the beat It's disturbing to see, in the story The person dispersing the verses is me [Interlude: Brianna] Hi my name is Brianna I know a lot of things now I know you're my mommy I know you love me I know you're in heaven You're an angel now I miss you a lot I can't wait to see you You're so pretty I love and miss you Rest in peace mommy [Verse 2: Benny Boy] Usually before verse 2 I would end it But if I don't finish this through I'll regret it I don't mean to have the whole mood sympathetic But if I don't tell the story then who's gonna tell it I could care less if there's people making fun of me Speak from your heart, that's how she raised her son to be Journey through my mind if you really want to come with me It gets deeper, the 1st verse was just a summary None of these people ever been in my position Trying to talk to God but all he seems to do is listen Instead of telling me, he leaves a trail of clues to follow But I need the answer now, cause I ain't guarnteed tomorrow Been anticipating when this chapter is done And I haven't been eating right these past couple months And I been daydreaming about the choir at the funeral I even hear it now, that's what a family d**h'll do to you And since then, I've been honoring my mama I give respect to her because my papa didn't bother He should of stuck around and he ought of been a father But he didn't so he just made all of us just stronger My mama gave me a brother and a sister They're my motivation to continue with the scripture Pecked her on the forehead the last time I kissed her And now I kiss her picture and cry because I miss her Picture that kid emotionally hurt And picture her coming home from a tired day at work Picture how she kisses the cheek of her husband Then she hugs her children just to show them that she loves them Picture a mom holds a family together And this tragedy affects them drastically forever But the family'll never forget the part she played But this is all a dream cause I can feel it start to fade The dream gets weary and I wake up on my bed And I'm so confused so I put my hand upon my head But then I realize that there's something in my palm It's a dog tag chain with my mama on the charm And down the halls I can hear Nathan and Brianna Waking up there daddy cause they're screaming for their mama So the whole dream makes sense to me So I'll see you when I see mom, Rest In Peace
