製作
“ We Made It”是來自 Busta Rhymes的第八張錄音室專輯《Back on My B.S.》的一支單曲,，同另類金屬樂團 Linkin Park合作完成。由Cool & Dre製作， Mike Shinoda補制,， Linkin Park的吉他手 Brad Delson也參與其中。 這首歌於4月29日面世， 並登上了 Billboard Hot 100 排行榜 第65名。並被美國有線電視網路TNT（Turner Network Television）作為2008 NBA Western Conference Finals報導主題音樂，以及作為美國足球電腦遊戲《Madden NFL 09》的背景音樂之一。
繼2004年林肯公園（ Linkin Park）與嘻哈教父 Jay-Z合作《 Collision Course》專輯大獲成功後，來自紐約布魯克林區的說唱嘻哈樂界最成功的超級巨星 Busta Rhymes這次也邀請了搖滾天團 Linkin Park一起合作。巴斯達曾和許多嘻哈以及R&B歌手合作過，但他很少和搖滾團體同台演出，為了跨出新的一步，巴斯達韻和知名搖滾團體林肯公園合作了一首新歌《 We Made It》，這首歌講的是一個努力要從街頭躋身到上層社會的平凡人的故事，合作的成果正如歌名所示，讓雙方都很滿意。也相當符合 Linkin Park給樂迷一貫的正面向上的印象.
說到錄製這首歌的過程，林肯公園團員Mike說，“歌曲中我們負責的部分大多是2007年在台北的演唱會前抽空在一間錄音室里完成的，當時巴斯達在地球另一端的紐約和洛杉磯錄製他的部分”。 Busta Rhymes也和林肯公園也一起為《 We Made It》拍攝了音樂錄影帶。

英文歌詞
[Chester]:
Together we made it
We made it, even though we had our backs up against the wall
[Busta]:
See it niggas I survived the worst but my life is glorious
But I know that I live to be hurdled and I'm so victorious
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness now call it Morpheus
As force accumalted the wind and but a believe I'm so notorious
Didn't know I've been buying my bread even though we rapping now (yes)
And now when you look on my trip and you a nigga higher level tramping now
And you see that everyone on my middle struggers and
For your ass is never been an option
A nigga paper long like we was on the trap and the hood choppin'
Get it!
[Linkin Park / (Busta) / *Mike*]:
Together we made it (You see we did it, niggas!)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (C'mon!)
Forever we waited *Ha-ha!*
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (Through the riches)
On the road (Through the ghetto)
On the road (And the projects to this bangin' instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me) *yeah, yeah*
On the road (You come and get it) *yeah, yeah*
On the road *yeah, yeah, yeah, yo!*
[Mike]:
When it all got started we was steadily just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothing we could do would ever get us respected
And thus we was stressed and the worst they probably said was we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle just a way to get connected
And I was fighting through every ryhme tighting up every line
Never resting the question and I was out of my mind
And it finally came time to do it or let it die
So put the chips on the table and told me to let it ride
Sing it!
[Linkin Park / (Busta) / *Mike*]
Together we made it (You see we did it, niggas!)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (C'mon!)
Forever we waited *Ha-ha!*
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (Through the riches)
On the road (Through the ghetto)
On the road (And the projects to this bangin instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it)
On the road
[Busta]:
Look in case you misunderstanded exactly what I'm building
Shit that I could live for my children (children) children (children)
Now I only wake up I smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip to get hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son
To count money like Dre, Jimmy and Russell Ones
But now I live when I dream you see me finally getting it
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how we get it
Sing it!
[Linkin Park / (Busta) / *Mike*]:
Together we made it (You see we did it, niggas!)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (C'mon!)
Forever we waited *Ha-ha!*
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (Through the riches)
On the road (Through the ghetto)
On the road (And the projects to this bangin' instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it)
On the road
