Background
"Sold My Soul To Yo Mama" was a song written mostly by Joe Hahn in 2004 and released on the LP Underground 4.0 CD. It samples "Points Of Authority", "Ppr:Kut", and the Collision Course DVD and contains an instrumental reference to "Somewhere I Belong".
On the CD case, Mike Shinoda wrote: "Joe's instrumental song "Sold My Soul..." is a landmark: usually we work on instrumental LP songs together. However, Mr. Hahn put the majority of this track together on his own (that's my boy... *sob*)."
"Sold My Soul To Yo Mama" was a working title the band decided to keep.[1]

Lyrics
You take

Away

Why does it feel like
Night today day day day day
Something in here's not right
Today day day day day
Why does it feel like
Night today day day day day
Paranoia is all i got
Left left left left left
Left (right) left (right)
Left (right) left (right)
Left (right) left (right)
Left (right) left (right)
You take
You take
Away
Away
Away

This is so fun
This whole project is, like, fun
Did that sound good?
That's right
