  • Welcome, yeah it's been a long minute
    Let me break it down now if y'all still with it
    First time I did it, yeah I'll admit it
    I kinda hit it and quit it and left y'all hanging
    Sang it, kinda off key with a passion
    Asking, can I give you back that action?
    Yeah I'ma blast in a hashtag fashion
    To spell it out for you like a mass closed caption
    Get a closed casket, fade to black
    This is my spot that I'm taking back
    Get at me punk I was made for that
    Y'all don't really even know what you aiming at
    So far back what you waving at?
    Y'all can't see the stage that I'm playing at
    Y'all hating that, but that's why I do it
    So tell me where the motherfucking haters at?
    'Cause

    I don't need their blessing now
    I don't need their invitation
    Ain't no way to shut me down
    Or to take this path I've taken
    And maybe I've been left out
    Never let this be mistaken
    They can keep that blessing now, forget me now
    'Cause I was never welcome

    Yeah it's been a long road
    Never really know how it all unfold
    I'm just trying hard not to sell my soul
    When the rest want guns and a mouth full of gold
    I don't hate 'em, I still love 'em
    That's not me, I'm not judging
    Not below 'em, not above 'em
    But disrespect me? Well then fuck 'em
    This a house I'm living in
    Y'all just pass through visiting
    I draw these lines y'all fill 'em in
    I'm a grown ass man, y'all children
    No competition, I'm killing them
    Talking 'bout him and him and him
    Let's take it out for another spin again
    And I don't give a fuck if I win again
    'Cause

    I don't need their blessing now
    I don't need their invitation
    Ain't no way to shut me down
    Or to take this path I've taken
    And maybe I've been left out
    Never let this be mistaken
    They can keep that blessing now, forget me now
    'Cause I was never welcome

    No (I was never welcome)
    No
    No
    No, no, no (I was never welcome)

    I don't need their blessing now
    I don't need their invitation
    Ain't no way to shut me down
    Or to take this path I've taken
    And maybe I've been left out
    Never let this be mistaken
    They can keep that blessing now, forget me now
    'Cause I was never welcome

    I was never welcome (No)
    I was never welcome (No, no)
    I was never welcome Writer/s: Mike Shinoda
