Revision as of 12:47, 28 September 2016
Background
In 2001, right before their European tour in September, Linkin Park gave an interview to OnStage where Mr. Hahn revealed he and Mike had just finished a track with the hip hop group The Visionaries:
"Chester just did a song with Cyclefly and also with DJ Lethal, and Mike and I just finished a track with the Visionaries too."
Later, in 2006, KeyKool, a member of The Visionaries, was questioned by a Linkin Park fan about the song. This was his answer:
"Hey, LMNO did a song with Mike Shinoda back in the day, maybe 6 years ago.
Then the Visionaries recorded a song with Joe Hahn and Mike Shinoda, and I believe some of the rest of the group was supposed to add stuff to the song...anyhow, it was before the "ReAnimation" album, and we all decided not to put the song out....so, I guess it's just one of those, never heard, never put out things.
We've only heard a rough version of the song, and never heard anything after that.
Kool, give thanks."[1]
The song was finally released on April 20, 2015 by 2Mex through his Bandcamp page. The song can be purchased for $1.
The lyrics "put a kink in the backbone" is a reused lyric from "High Voltage".

Lyrics
V1: "Call up a relative and tell 'em who the hell it is
You think not / guess again / you bet it is
Put a kink in the backbone of predators
They're not competitive / actin' like they're on sedatives
With or without large amounts of melanin
Let it begin until the rigor mortis settles in
Rainin' on rust on bulletproof metal men
It's deep water and there's no backpedallin'"
V2: "Lights out / Los Angeles darkness
Trash bag track homes and park bench apartments
Lit with a center-city harshness
Attract the colour weapons of paint marker artists
And this is the soundtrack to the scene
LP, Visionaries, collaborative team
Takin' it to a level you never dreamed of
Open your eyes to a sight that's seldom-seen"
