Fort Minor - Start It All Up Lyrics






Yo
Give me a second, I'll write about my pain for pages
I got a head full of frustrated phrases
So just bear with me as I get this out
You know the type of person that I'm talking about
These people who want to act like they've got your back
They never had your back, they just stab you in it
I never pretended I had it all together inside,
I got insecurities and things I'm trying to hide,
And I could never seem to get anything right,
And I could never seem to stop busting my fight
And I could never seem to get it right with you,
And I could never redeem myself when I'm through,
But sometimes, you know what, I just don't care,
I'm gonna speak my mind and let everybody stare
This is the last time, I'm telling you real loud,
If you want to tell me I'm wrong, let's do it right now

[Chorus:]
Start it all up, I'm ready to go
All I need is a signal just to let me know
Come on, start it all up, cause all I want,
Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got
Start it all up, I'm ready to go
All I need is a signal just to let me know
Come on, start it all up, cause all I want,
Is an excuse to let loose the tension I got

Give me a minute, I'll fill a newspaper with columns,
Cause people saying that I got an attitude problem,
That I'm negative when I rhyme, I complain,
Pessimistic all the time, in these lines
All the same, I just talk like this on a record and let it out,
I just cock back and let it all come flooding out
I just say the things that I know I feel are real,
I peel back the skin 'till the nerves reveal
You want to come with me, come closer to the speaker
You want to run with me, you're gonna have to dig deeper
You want to let it all out, I'll show you how
You want to tell me I'm wrong, we can do it right now

[Chorus]

Mike Shinoda
The most ferocious
Mike Shinoda
With or without an accomplice [x2]

[Chorus]

    'These people who want to act like they've got your back
    They never had your back, they just stab you in it.'
    Reminds me of some people I thought were my friends. But turned out just to use you for what you got. And when time passes, they act like they don't know who you are. Nothing more than scum.

  5. o.... t....

  31. A.... S....

    Which album korn?

  32. p.... r....

    this is almost the only wrapper that actually rimes like no other

  33. f.... ....

    side project of Mike Shinoda. Sort of like Chester Bennington being in Death By Sunrise

  34. r.... b....

    Fort Minor is a side project of Mike Shinoda, cos he wanted to show more of his hip-hop roots, something he couldnt do with linkin park :)

  35. B.... B....

    Can I have your i-phone... I can get in afterall! :) LOL... That is sooooooooo true though.

  36. M.... K....

    not sure if this is correct or not, but from what i've heard chester and mike started their induvidual porjects after meteora, and mike made fort minor. of course this was only a break from lp so after the rising tied lp came togheter and started making minutes to midnight.

    and pls ppl. correct me if i'm wrong!

  37. S.... ....

    what the fuck does that even say?

  38. W.... D....

    Two bands with one amazing rapper.! LP+FM=EPIC!

  39. A.... F....

    the only mistake on the song that he can't stop muslim a fight ... that's annoying for the Me as Fan

  40. I.... ....

    I really do not like rap, but for some reason I love Fort Minor!

  41. J.... S....

    @1LIFEtoWIN I mean if you say joe budden you might as well say slaughter house...but what about Mr. J. Mederios and Rafael Casal?

  42. 1.... ....

    @SkAtErOfLiVe what about Kendrick Lamar,Lupe Fiasco,J.Cole,Jay-Z,Joe Budden? not of these dudes are good enough? You should expand your taste of hip hop, I know Tupac is amazing, Eminem is a lyrical beast, and mike is an artist, nothing wrong with those guys I respect them as well.

  43. P.... P....

    @SkAtErOfLiVe "ok" lol. You have no idea.

  44. F.... W....

    @facultydOTY Dude, u have no idea

  45. P.... P....

    @SkAtErOfLiVe Lol he isnt, what he went through doesnt make him a better rapper by the way. Fort Minor is best yeah, 2pac isnt.

  46. F.... W....

    @facultydOTY Dude, 2pac is the God of all Rappers, he went through stuff you wouldn´t even dream about. Em 2pac and Fort Minor r the best.

  47. A.... G....

    @SkAtErOfLiVe You now have so much respect from me. That is the best comment on Youtube.. Finally, some one who understands! lol

  48. B.... B....

    @stereosound321 Cuz it's Fort Minor, not LP...
    But ur right, we need Mike some more.

  49. B.... B....

    For some reason, this kinda sounds heavenly...

  50. P.... P....

    @Nargasharvog lol you like 2pac ? Then you're stupid sorry xDDD

  51. D.... S....

    @facultydOTY you're stupid

  52. P.... P....

    @SkAtErOfLiVe Correct, except 2pac :)

  53. F.... W....

    @horseops First get the Name right dude

  54. h.... ....

  57. s.... ....

  58. F.... W....

    @oXossSCII Oh, sorry. Of course i mean Slim Shady :D The "commerical eminem" is realy a pussy

  59. g.... ....

    @R3WiNDz nah he practically started LP with brad, some members for a bit went and did there own thing thats when he released rising tied 05 or 06 i think it was and chester(lead singer for LP) did some other vocals for a differant band which was more screamo etc but nah theyll all still together only released a thousand suns last year :D

  60. R.... ....

    @gamblor67 my fault i thought he wasnt.
    he got kicked for a while because the record signers wanted him to rock and he wanted rap i thougt?

  61. g.... ....

    @R3WiNDz lol he still is in linkin park..

  62. 1.... ....

  75. T.... ....

    @MrIvan78745 Yeah, Mike still works with LP. Linkin Park is his main project. Fort Minor was just on the side... And even though we all want more from Fort Minor, I think it's a one time thing :( Of course, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised by more awesome music from FM!

  76. I.... ....

    Idk if linkin park is doin another album but mike still works with Linkin Park rite??

  77. P.... ....

    @ODSTdude234 I meant hopefully he'll work on Fort Minor Again, since Mike said Linkin Park was his priority.

  78. A.... P....

    shinodah is the most underated rapper, along with the game
