    I looked it up on lyrics
    Not YouTube.
    Did I get the wrong song??

    Artist: Fort Minor

    Song: Remember The Name

    Lyrics:

    You ready? Lets go!
    Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
    It's like this y'all (c'mon!)

    [Chorus]
    This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
    He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
    He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
    In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
    But them, he knows the code
    It's not about the salary
    It's all about reality and making some noise
    Making the story - making sure his clique stays up
    That means when he puts it down Tak's picking it up! Let's go!

    Who the hell is he anyway?
    He never really talks much
    Never concerned with status but still leaving them star struck
    Humbled through opportunities given to him despite the fact
    That many misjudge him because he makes a living from writing raps
    Put it together himself, now the picture connects
    Never asking for someone's help, to get some respect
    He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
    And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

    It's just twenty percent skill
    Eighty percent fear
    Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill
    Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
    And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
    Came back dropped Megadef, took them to church
    I like bleach man, why you have the stupidest verse?
    This dude is the truth, now everybody be giving him guest spots
    His stock's through the roof I heard he in with S. Dot!

    [Chorus]
    This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    They call him Ryu The Sick
    And he's spittin fire with Mike
    Got him out the dryer he's hot
    Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
    Been a in annihilist porcupine
    He's a prick, he's a cock
    The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
    Eight years in the making, patiently waiting to blow
    Now the record with Shinoda's taking over the globe
    He's got a partner in crime, his is equally dope
    You won't believe the kind of that comes out of this kid's throat

    Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block
    He knows how to work with what he's got
    Making his way to the top
    People think it's a common owners name
    People keep asking him was it given at birth
    Or does it stand for an acronym?
    No he's living proof, Got him rockin the booth
    He'll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
    Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
    Dedicated to what they doing give a hundred percent

    Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
    It seems like he's never got time
    Because he writes every note and he writes every line
    And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
    It's like a design is written in his head every time
    Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
    And those motherers he runs with, those kids that he signed?
    Ridiculous, without even trying, how do they do it?

    [Chorus]
    This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    [Chorus]
    This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
    Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
    Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
    And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

    [Outro - Mike Shinoda]
    Yeah! Fort Minor
    M. Shinoda - Styles of Beyond
    Ryu! Takbir! Machine Shop!

    Oh okay I listened to it and
    I didn't understand the words
    I asked two kids if they knew the song

    I have one more person I can ask if they know it
    In the mean time if you can post some of the words I might be able to find it that way
    Or hopefully somebody else here comes along with who it is.

    It's a mix of Tinseltown by Scritti Politti and Right Before My Eyes by N'n'G
