Tools of the Trade Lyrics


[Mike]
I can make a loop out of anything work
Im just surprised you guys didnt think of this shit first... But fuck it!
You cant touch yours truly
You can hardly follow me
Much less move me, so
When Im pumping the track
You punks in the back better jump when I ask you bastards[Ryu]
Yeah, you got it backwards and misconstrued
See I roll like the rat pack groups included
In the backpack with the gas mask in Munich
20 deep in a hatchback puffing Cubans[Mike]
You wanna rap get the lab track qued lets do this
But not on this track
You cant afford it stupid![Tak]
Somebody call for the doc quick
Hes still on the street top
He gotta freaking stain on my high top Reeboks

Snatched off the velcro and choked him with it
My headphones rub my neck where I coach you chickens (baaaacock!)
Machineshop packs lots of tunes
Like Paul Wall mixed tapes leave you chopped and screwed
The mess too wild?
The yes boys popping their Gats (yaps?)
Yeah, can you hear me now?
Good get off my sac[Celph]
Yo, MC am I
People call me Celph
I got the key to every young bitches chastity belt
You clicking even pussy
Better yet they beaver
Im gonna leave it to ya heavy
With this nine millameta[Girlie Ryu (some would say sexy voice)]
Yo I see you chillin in that cherry beemer
Have you ever met a man with canary fever?
I aint talkin bout a piss colored diamond either, word
Im eatin birds outta sittin on your finger
You can teach 'em how to speak
Say Polly want a cracker?
Take 'em to the beach
Play volleyball after
A little snack.. champagne and pasta..
We dont gotta run fast girl
I know you got asthma[Tak]
Yeah, sippin on jack and diamonds
Blowing smoke rings
Chillin with the pack of Heinas
Your hands to the sky
Get a crunk for fun
Im so goddamn high
I could punch the sun[British Mike]
Oy... honestly I doesnt even matter if I use this voice
Itd still fuck up you and your boys
So piss off mate
See? I do what I want
Cause your whole bloody lots
Just a bunch of cunts[Ryu]
See right now Celph Titled supposed to be in the booth[Tak]
But hes stuck inside a toilet getting ready to puke[Mike]
And he drank a bunch of sisco, vodka, and rum[tak]
So Cheapshots gonna drop Celphs verse
Here it comes[Celph Titled]
Find me in the sandwich
Gonna roll with the stutter
Rolling with a cutter
Abuse your mother
On a road trip to Barbados with their hoes
Im a hoodrat with a Winnebago
I make dough
On the block where the bullies where raised to partier
You in Idaho grazing pastures getting busy
I dont hold acts unless for something get busy
On the ground I like the bear
And I stay my grizzly[Ryu in the background]
Stay the fuck in the bathroom homie!

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.
