Fort Minor - Believe Me



Artist: Fort Minor
Track: Believe Me
Album: The Rising Tied
Year: 2005

Fort Minor is most commonly known for their song "Where'd You Go" off of the same album, but this track is my favorite by them. If that doesn't sounds familiar, I'll throw a well-known band name at you now: Linkin Park. Fort Minor is the creation of Mike Shinoda, one of the two main singers of Linkin Park. He features several vocalists on this album and Bobo & Styles Of Beyond sings in "Believe Me".

This is one of the few hip-hop songs to which I know all the words of the rap verses, but no one will ever catch me singing them. Oh well. I love the beat, especially in the bridge. It almost has a bit of a conga feel to it.

LYRICS:

Yeah
I guess
That this is where we've come to
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

I don't want to be the one to blame
You like fun and games
Keep playing 'em
I'm just sayin'
Think back then
We was like one and the same
On the right track
But I was on the wrong train
Just like that
Now you've got a face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain like a maze 
You can never escape the rain
Every damn day is the same shade of grey

Hey
I used have a little bit of a plan
Used to
Have a concept of where I stand
But that concept slipped right out of my hands
Now I don't really even know who I am
Yo, what do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
What ever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen to me

I guess
That this is where we've come to (yeah)
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down (yeah)
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

Back then, 
I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could see all the pain I see
But you proved to me unintentionally
That you would self-destruct eventually
Now I'm thinking like the mistake I made 
Doesn't hurt
But it's not gonna work
Cause it's really much worse than I thought
I wished you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I got

You turned your back
And walked away in shame
All you got is a memory of pain
Nothing makes sense so you stare at the ground
I hear your voice in my head 
When no one else is around
What do I have to say
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
What ever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen to me
(Not gonna happen to me)

I guess
That this is where we've come to (yeah)
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down (yeah)
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

Yeah, Go!

I guess
That this is where we've come to (yeah)
If you don't want to
Then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down (yeah)
Just so you know now
You're on your own now believe me

I'll do what I have to do
You're on your own now believe me

What ever happens to you
You're on your own now believe me

What do I have to say?
You're on your own now believe me

It's not gonna happen to me
You're on your own now believe me

Yeah
