Fort Minor - Get Me Gone(2005)

[00:00.54] The dude, he said that, like
[00:02.47] When we were making the first Linkin Park record
[00:04.67] He was like:
[00:05.58] "Yeah you know, I don't know about the rapping like, I don't know... If it's like.
[00:09.64] Maybe you should just be a rock band."
[00:10.93] You know what I mean, like, trying to change us
[00:13.68] Like they signed us as an act like what we sound like
[00:15.36] And then he's like:
[00:16.12] "Oh I don't know maybe you should just play keyboard"
[00:19.58] Before the first song that you heard me on
[00:21.92] There were people already tryin' to get me gone
[00:24.56] Tellin' me to quit rapping, "Just play the keys"
[00:26.80] That my band had a singer, they didn't need me
[00:29.37] But my band had my back so we did the tracks
[00:31.83] Put out the album and the talk went flat
[00:34.16] It was funny at first but then the humor faded
[00:36.56] When some magazines printed that our label made us
[00:39.11] We were to be good to be true
[00:40.89] Some were saying ghost writers were writing all that we do
[00:43.73] So we had to disprove it:
[00:45.52] We spelled it out to the detail how we do it when we're making this music
[00:48.77] After that I made it a rule:
[00:50.42] I only do E-mail responses to print interviews
[00:53.33] Because these people love to put a twist to your words
[00:55.84] To infer that you said something fucking absurd
[00:58.23] Oh, did I lose you at "infer"?
[01:00.69] Not used to hearing a verse that uses over first grade vocabulary words?
[01:04.89] People used to "infer" that we were manufactured
[01:08.39] Now I've got the interviews on file
[01:10.26] Which people said what, which number to dial
[01:12.56] So now every enemy screaming insanity
[01:15.03] All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me
[01:17.85] Bitch
[01:18.74] Can you believe that?
[01:20.32] Like it's crazy, it sounds crazy right?
[01:21.67] Like at this point, at this point you're thinking, you hear it out and you're like
[01:24.88] "That guy was out of his mind"
[01:25.80] But honestly that's what he wrote
[01:28.94] Besides the fact that he wanted me to just play keyboard or whatever
[01:32.90] He didn't want me to rap
[01:34.87] He was like "Maybe Joe Hahn should, um
[01:37.86] Wear a lab coat and a cowboy hat" on, like when we play
[01:43.77] I swear to God he was crazy
[01:46.37] And later on he claimed he wrote all our songs so that was really bad."
