[Whisper] Fort Minor Fort... Minor [Chorus] Spray paint and ink pens I use to write in every color I think in To paint a picture With every rhyme that I speak in Yea, the gallery is the beat and I ...I ...I ...I [Mike Shinoda] Ladies and Gentlemen We have a special guest for you this evening, Ghost, you ready? [Ghostface Killah] Yo, I verbally paint pictures I’m the hood's best story teller This about a young boy Dealin with the older fellas Promised them the lives They see on TV He ran packs across town Like rhymes, CDs, and Big change, new clothes Nikes and Reeboks Stackin too much loot To squeeze in a shoe box Savin, he promised moms A crib in Atlanta And his pops got killed through debt He was a dealer So he staged jazz Fox jump off the suit cases No more cross town now He’s crossin them states and Seein new faces Not knowin who to trust So when the door kicked open They screamed, "This is a bust!" Is it a setup? Ya see it’s funny A scuffle broke out He got hit, dropped the case And spit blood out his mouth He walked four blocks to die Tryin to survive And now all that’s left Is his mom screamin "God why?" [Chorus] [Mike Shinoda] Let me begin by sayin... Shut the fuck up! Let me begin by sayin I don’t think this man knew What he had in store He opened the door And found the bag under the floor Not a peep, Always working the lot Get the flame, aim, POP Open the box and take off Out the back of the pawn shop Scopin' the lot Hopin the cops Hadn't seen the plates on his car He felt like he'd been hustlin so hard Like a demon he pumped a cold heart Play it cool, like Humphrey Bogart Put the rings on his chain Attached by both parts He did the drop One ring in the bag Envelope, all the money he had Left the money and the ring And a slow exhale Two weeks went by Got a box in the mail In the box was a bullet made of gold Melted down from the ring Re-cast with two rings and a band And he stared at it Sittin in the palm of his hand And sat down next to a picture That sat on the night stand It was his wife in the picture on his side With the ring on her finger On the week that she died As he looked in the reflection At those eyes so red He put the bullet in a gun And put it right in his head Like that [uh] [Chorus] [Lupe Fiasco] You knew he didn’t have enough Power in his thrusters To muster warp 5 Plus if you pushed it The fuel cells corupture And then they would die Then the galaxy would suffer But he know he had to try But he couldn’t risk it Put the cure in the escape pod And kissed it And told her goodbye She started to cry But he knew if he could distract em He could buy her some time And she could make it out alive Turn the suit around And got prepared for the stand-off Space mind, had blown One of their hands off Damaged laser cannons And I got a system jam And he faced the whole fleet Blood seething through his teeth The final saga In the seven planet wars Unsheathe the sword and Then he charged forward His eyes flashed Behind cracked cockpit glass He let out a laugh And all she heard was a blast Like [Uh] [Chorus] Ladies and gentlemen, This has been a Fort Minor production Ghost Face, yea let’s go Spray paint and ink pen...
Its so weird how so many other tracks from the album are out on the internet but nobody on the board talks about them today I havnt heard any of the tracks from the album I'm just waiting for the album to drop to listen and enjoy it all at once for the first time, it works well and its worth it.
So many other tracks from the mixtape are out or tracks from the actual album? [/b][/quote] From the album: Believe Me, Petrified, Remember The Name From the mixtape: Dolla, Spray Paint and Get It
I think these are 99.9% correct and 100% sure these lines are correct: "And his pops got killed in debt, he was a gambler/gambla', " Just can't hear "dealear", plus that wouldn't rhyme. "So he stayed strapped, stock's up off the suitcases," I've listened to enough drug music to know that's correct. Strapped = kept a gun, stock's up off the suitcases = he's in high demand in the drug game 'cause of his product. Chorus (Lupe Fiasco) Uh, Spraypaint and ink pens, I use to write in every color I think in, To paint a picture with every rhyme that I speak in, Yeah, the gallery is the beat then I, ...I x4 (Mike) Ladies and gentleman we have a special guest for you this evening. Ghost you ready? (Ghostface) Yo, I verbally paint pictures, I'm the hood's best storytella, This about a young boy dealin' with them older fellas, Promised him the lives he see on tv, He ran packs across town, they buy him cds and, Big chains, new clothes, Nikes and Reeboks, Packing too much loot to squeeze in a shoebox, Saving, he promised his moms a crib in Atlanta, And his pops got killed in debt, he was a gambla', So he stayed strapped, stock's up off the suitcases, No more cross town, now he's crossin' them states and, Seein' new faces not knowing who to trust, So when the door kicked open they screamed, "This is a bust!", Is it a setup? It seemed funny, a scuffle broke out, He got hit, dropped the case and spit blood out his mouth, He walked four blocks to die, trying to survive, And now all that's left is his moms screaming, "God why?" Chorus (Mike) Let me begin my saying... Shut the fuck up! Let me begin by saying, I don’t think this man knew what he had in store, He opened the door and found the bag under the floor, Not a peep while he's working the lock, Get the flame, aim, "pop", open the box and take off, Out the back of the pawn shop, Scoping the lot hoping the cops hadn’t seen the plates on his car, He felt like he'd been hustling so hard, Like a demon he pumped a cold heart, Play it cool like Humphrey Bogart, Put the rings on his chain attached by both hearts, He did the drop, one ring in a bag, Envelope, all the money he had, Left the money and the ring and a slow exhale, Two weeks went buy - got a box in the mail, In the box was a bullet made of gold, Melted down from the ring - re-cast with two rings and a band, And he stared at it sitting in the palm of his hand, And sat down next to a picture that sat on the night stand, It was his wife in the picture on his side, With the ring on her finger on the week that she died, As he looked in the reflection, at those eyes so red, He put the bullet in a gun and put it right to his head, Like that. Chorus (Lupe) He knew he didn't have power in his thrusters, to muster Warp 5, Plus if he pushed it the fuel cells could rupture and then they would die, Then the galaxy would suffer but he knew he had to try, But he couldn't risk it, put the cure in the escape pod and kissed it, And told her goodbye, she started to cry, But he knew if he could distract them he could buy some her time and she could make it out alive, Turned the suit around and got prepared for the stand off, Space mine had blew one of the hands off, Damaged laser cannons and the guidance system jammin', He faced the whole fleet, blood seepin' through his teeth, The final saga in the seven planet wars, Unsheathe the sword and then he charged forward, His eyes flashed behind the cracked cockpit glass, He let out a laugh and all she heard was a blast like... Chorus (Mike) Ladies and gentlemen, This has been a Fort Minor production Ghost Face, Fiasco (Ghost) Next time just do that thing that makes my double go... (Mike) Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ehh didnt like it. it sounded pretty generic. i actually like the fort minor stuff thats been released already, minus remember the name. i just dont see what possessed them to write a song about themselves. i guess its kind of original, but annoying at the same time. and i agree, i miss linkin park too.
me too ....... but this song is awesome, I really feel a linkin park vibe in the piano/intro/background of this song..... i love it
Flippin Lp taking for flippin ever for a new flippin Cd...uh..i mean...YAY FOR FORT MINOR....haha...hehe....*ahem*
