There you go
Fuck off
Come on, fool
What's up?
Yuck
I-I-I'll drop that shit
Straight coming at you punk

To criticize is critical when digging on my concept
Rhythms keep on building like the smog, got you running from the law
Maybe it's that low-end smothered with the freestyle
Maybe it's the thought of being on the bottom of the pile
Styles bound to the skylines
Keep 'em on the sidelines choking on my fly rhymes
You'll need the Heimlich maneuver
This ain't no joke, you're gonna choke when I'm slinging it to you
When did you decide (when did you decide)
To be narrow in your mind?
When do you decide

I'll probably never understand
Pollution
You preach the noise about the words that you don't wanna hear
Pollution
I keep the grip real tight on the mic when I spill
Pollution
You preach the noise about the words that you don't wanna hear
Pollution
I keep the grip real tight

Breaker, breaker one nine, spitting out that skill
Suicidal funk, let me know you're real
I'm walking on a thin line with the sticky bass line
Now you're stuck with the flow running through your mind
So when you're crossing over, let me know you're real
Put that flex on your neck, now you got the feel
Rumble like the thunder, now you're going under
Makes me wonder what the fuck is even going down
I listen to 'em stereotype, when they complain
I can't refrain from bringing on the pain
When did you decide (when did you decide)
To be narrow in your mind?
When do you decide?

I'll probably never understand
Pollution
You preach the noise about the words that you don't wanna hear
Pollution
I keep the grip real tight on the mic when I spill
Pollution
You preach the noise about the words that you don't wanna hear
Pollution
I keep the grip real tight

No
One, two, three, four
Ah yeah
That's it, that's it
Ain't nobody doin' like, you

So when they tell me to turn down that volume
I'm gonna bring that beat back
And when they tell Sam to turn down that bass
I'm gonna bring that beat back
And when they tell me to turn down the vocal
I'm gonna bring that beat back
And when they tell us to shut the fuck up
I'm gonna bring that beat back
Yeah, gonna bring that beat back
Whoa, gonna bring that beat back
Fuck, gonna bring that beat back
Yo, yo, yo, yo J bring that beat back
When did you decide (when did you decide)
To be narrow in your mind?
When do you decide?

I'll probably never understand
Pollution
You preach the noise about the words that you don't wanna hear
Pollution
I keep the grip real tight on the mic when I spill
Pollution
You preach the noise about the words that you don't wanna hear
Pollution
Gonna bring that beat back

I'm gonna bring that beat back
(Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it)
I'm gonna bring that beat back
Beat back, bring that beat back
Beat back, bring that beat back
Beat back, so shut the fuck
Whoa
Back back back back back back (Fred, shut up, alright?)
Back bring the fucking beat back (this is me telling you to shut up)
Back (shut up)
You sucker (shut)
Fucking sucker song (Fred, shut the fuck up)
Mmmm dum
We're done

    Fred wrote this kick-ass song about how people judge his music and call it "noise pollution". They say it is worshipping Satan, but the fact really is that he is really worships Jesus and prays every day and that their accusation aren't true. They're telling him to turn down that volume, that bass, that vocal, and shut the f*ck up and he's just saying, "I'm gonna bring that beat back!"

    Probably the best song on 3 dollar bill. It's about the people saying that limp bizkits music is pollution but when infact they are producing all the pollution. So Limp Bizkit says:'I'm gonna bring that beat back, and keep playing my music. Peace Limpsters!

    this is why there really shoudlnt be religion in music...*sigh*...people go to arguing about whether(sp?) some dude is a christian or not because of his music...music is an outlet to express oneself, it doesnt always have to be about the person writing it. but whatever...i dont really like limp bizkit i just saw pyropunk's comment on "latest comment" and i wanted to see what was going on lol

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
