Fort Minor - Get Me Gone

The dude, he said that, like,
when we were making the first Linkin Park record
He was like,
"Yeah you know, I don't know about the rapping
like,
I don't know...
maybe you should just be a rock band."
You know what I mean, like,
trying to change us
like they signed us as an act like what we sound like
and then he's like
"Oh, I don't know,
maybe you should just play keyboard"

Before the first song that you heard me on
There were people already tryin' to get me gone
Tellin' me to quit rapping
"Just play the keys"
That my band had a singer
They didn't need me
But my band had my back
So we did the tracks
Put out the album and the talk went flat
It was funny at first but then the humour faded
When some magazines printed
that our label made us
We were to be good to be true
Some were saying ghost writers
were writin' all that we do
So we had to disprove it
We spelled it out to the detail how we do it
when we're making this music
After that I made it a rule
I only do e-mail responses
to print interviews
Because these people love
to put a twist to your words
To infer that you said something f**** absurd

Oh, did I lose you at "infer"?
Not used to hearing a verse that uses
over first grade vocabulary words? People used to infer that we were manufactured
Now I've got the interviews on file
Which people said what
Which number to dial
So now every enemy screaming insanity
All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me
Bitch

"Hahaha"
"You believe that?
Like, thats crazy
Sounds crazy right?
You're like this point -
at this point you figure-
you hear that and your like
"That guy is out of his mind"
But honestly at that point,
besides the fact that
he wanted me to just play keyboard,
or whatever,
he didn't want me rap,
he was like
maybe Joe Hahn should, um, wear a lab coat
and a cowboy hat on st...
like when we play
I swear to God he's crazy!
It was crazy..."
"Whats goin on with the cowboy hat?"

"yea...
And later on he claimed that he wrote our -
all our songs so that was...
that was real nice"
