Strange Things Lyrics


[Verse 1:]Everybody up
Let me introduce to you,
a man that herd of who you thought you knew,
give me a couple of seconds just to prove to you,
you never did, but let me give you a chance too,
I use to swear everybody had it in for me
people only wanted to talk to spit on me
so I'd paint pictures, draw alittle bit
and every time I'd was pissed off at some kid
I'd get home draw a little sketch
of any kid i hated with a knife in the neck
a pencil in the eye and a hole in the back,
i had a back pack of six sketches like that,
and over time people started to see
the pictures that i made, made alot of scence to me,
but it never ready made much of a difference,
they still talk shit, but not at close distance,
and that sucked because all I wanted to have

was alittle attention with the good and bad,
but over time I got sick of tryin
and kepth makin them pictures and keptn redrawin lines
[chorus:]I dont know where im going with this im just reminisin and tellin the story of this
sit back and take in the story of the kid, as i look back at the strange things i did
[Verse 2:]Everybody up
let me tell the truth to you
i never thought id be anyone you wished you knew,
and just thought id end up a stain on the wall,
something you want to fix because you've seen it all,
anyway back at psi
i had a class with this smart mouth friend of mine,
and we would sit in the back, the two of us combine,
we'd make fun of everybody just to pass the time,
now we did it quietly so no one heard,
a couple of nerds scentence full of pictures and words
until this kid heard we were callin him names and decided to get tough,
i remember he came up to me that day in front of half my friends and talk shit so loud people couldn't pretend they didn't hear him,
sayin he would beat my ass and i laughed
but he was serious and pushed me back,
at this point i was pretty confused,
this little bitch was all ampt so what could i do,
i should have come back at him for all to see,
but instead i just told him that it wasn't me
[Chorus x2][Verse 3:]its like flat liners see that flick,
people dyin, come back saying crazy shit, people that they did wrong come back to attack them
and everyone that they hurt comes back for revenge,
well if that was ever going to happen to me,
I'd petentially would be attacked constently
but then again for all the pain in my pass
there'd be alot of people that had better watch there ass
[chours x2]

Fort Minor is the hip hop side-project of Mike Shinoda, the vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of the alternative rock band Linkin Park. Though it was technically Shinoda's solo project, the members of Styles of Beyond featured heavily on Fort Minor's album The Rising Tied and appeared with Shinoda at photo shoots and live concerts.

They are known for the 2006 single, "Where'd You Go", which features Holly Brook and Jonah Matranga, and also his single, "Remember the Name". Thus far, Fort Minor has released one album, 2005's The Rising Tied (as well as one mixtape, FMInvasion - We Major, which featured DJ Green Lantern), and also has a fan club similar to Linkin Park Underground, titled Fort Minor Militia.

Mike Shinoda's plan was to make music while enjoying time with his friends, who include Ryu, Tak, and many other leading musical artists.

Fort Minor's first major album The Rising Tied, features 16 tracks (with three bonus tracks on the Limited Edition), many of which are specific to the lives of Shinoda and his collaborators. "Remember the Name", for example, describes the group's views on being rappers, while "Kenji" describes the experiences of Shinoda's family during the Japanese American internment of World War II. Other tracks, such as "Slip Out The Back" which features Joe Hahn of Linkin Park, have more general lyrical themes. In the lyrics of the track "Get Me Gone", Shinoda says that before the debut album of Linkin Park came out, someone at Warner Bros. Records told him to quit rapping and just play keyboards because the band didn't need an MC in addition to a singer. He goes on to say that with the help of the band, Mike released the album as it was and many critics were silenced.

Fort Minor won Ringtone of the Year for "Where'd You Go" at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.

In mid August of 2006 Fort Minor performed at the Summer Sonic 2006 along side Linkin Park and other bands.

In November of 2006, Fort Minor released a video for "Remember the Name", which features a montage of various amazing feats. Shinoda has stated he felt the video was a nice wrap-up for Fort Minor. Also in November, Shinoda stated that Fort Minor is on hiatus, because of his dedication to Linkin Park.

As of August 19, 2006, Fort Minor's debut album has sold 400,000 copies.

In 2006, Holly Brook released an exclusive version of 'Where'd You Go?' to radio stations, made completely by Holly Brook. Mike does not appear on this version, which can be heard by request on various American radio stations.
