Background

The remix was created by AmpLive and Mike Shinoda and features guest vocals by Baba Zumbi (credited as Zion). Both AmpLive and Baba Zumbi are from the hip hop duo Zion I. According to Mike, AmpLive did the beat and they all worked on the music together. The vocals were recorded at Mike's home studio: "yeah, when we got to Mike's house and had 8 bars to rhyme and he made me do it over like 30 times! usually something that short would take 5 or 10 minutes to do but it took 40 minutes and it showed his level of perfection and made look at my own art with a little more critical eye yeah sometimes as an artist you are trying to catch the feeling, so for me at least i am not as focused on articulation, but in that instance but now i see in the finished project i see what a difference that made"

The original remix created by AmpLive was rejected by the band because they wanted something darker. During a linkinpark.com chat, Zion said: "When LP said they wanted something darker, it was cool because we used Amp's creativity in a different way"

About the new remix, which ended up on the album, Mike Shinoda said: "zion i, like most of the artists on the cd, have a very different style than our band. so the challenge was coming together in a way that represented both things and didn't compromise either we did the whole song without guitars. it was a real challenge but it still sounds really heavy"

Zion added: "ya that's real true I think the connection between the two is we both dibble and dabble with elecrtic sounds a lot we could mix the guitar and the rhymes and that electronic sound was the bridge amp took the keyboard samplers and tweaked them and sampled them so it kinda sounded like guitars it was phat"

The original remix was eventually released under the name "Place 4 My Head" in 2006 on AmpLive's compilation Beats Remixes & A Side Of Mashups.

Lyrics

Album Version

I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand I want to be in the energy Not with the enemy A place for my head I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night Shining with the light from the sun But the sun doesn't give the light to the moon assuming the moon's going to owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me You do favours then rapidly You just turn around and start asking me about things that you want back from me I'm sick of the tension Sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place to feed your greed While I find a place to rest I'm so sick of the tension Sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place to feed your greed While I find a place to rest I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand You'll see it's not meant to be I want to be in the energy Not with the enemy A place for my head I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand You'll see it's not meant to be I want to be in the energy Not with the enemy A place for my head   (I want to) (I want to) (I want to) Two, two, three, three Yo, yo, yo Give me Energon to keep me calm You and your mom keep all the dram Used to be a team, passed that baton But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb Take it to the john in your babylon Flushed down with the sound that you carry on I don't really give a dang You pissed on my lawn Took a dump like a punk Now the battle's on So sick of you stressing Sick of you fessing Sick of you acting like I owe you some Find another place to feed your face If you don't, we gon' bump Get it up here, crunk So sick of you stressing Sick of you fessing Sick of you acting like I owe you some Find another place to feed your face If you don't, we gon' bump Get it up here, crunk I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand You'll see it's not meant to be I want to be in the energy Not with the enemy A place for my head I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand You'll see it's not meant to be I want to be in the energy Not with the enemy A place for my head You try to take the best of me You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me (Go away) (x14) You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me You try to take the best of me You try to take the best of me You try to take the best of me You try to take the best Go, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me (get away from me), go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me, go away You try to take the best of me Get away from me
