"Believe Me" is a song by American hip hop artist Fort Minor, the side project of rock band Linkin Park's co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda. It is the third US and first international single from Fort Minor's debut album, The Rising Tied. Two versions of the CD single were released, the first being released in November 15, 2005; and the second in November 22, 2005. The track features hip hop group Styles of Beyond and Eric Bobo of Cypress Hill.
Background
"Believe Me" is one of two songs in The Rising Tied (other than "Red to Black") where Mike Shinoda also sings (besides rapping), specifically the chorus. The main melody of the song is from Apple Inc.'s GarageBand loops named "Orchestra Strings 08". In the end of the album version song, it is heard that Mike Shinoda says, "Okay, so here's the thing", and segues into "Get Me Gone".
Music video
The official music video was directed by Lauren Briet. The video simply shows Fort Minor in a parking garage, which is illuminated by lights that expand to one side. The chorus is presented with more exchanging lights in the shape of Mike Shinoda's head. Also, in the very last second of the video clip it is possible to see somebody (appears to be Tak) possibly tripping over or dancing just after the colored light passes Ryu. In the start of the video the water drops which fall on the ground synchronize with the beginning piano tune. DJ Cheapshot of Styles of Beyond and Eric Bobo also appear in the video, although none of them play any instruments.
No Dice is an album by British rock band Badfinger, issued by Apple Records and released on 9 November 1970. Their second album under the Badfinger name and third album overall, No Dice significantly expanded the British group's popularity, especially abroad. The album included both the hit single "No Matter What" and the song "Without You", which would become one of the most successful compositions of the rock era.
History
Although this was the band's second album released under the Badfinger name, the previous album, Magic Christian Music, was originally recorded as The Iveys but released as Badfinger. It was the band's first album recorded after new guitarist Joey Molland joined the group, replacing bassist Ron Griffiths. Molland's addition caused Tom Evans to switch from rhythm guitar to bass. Badfinger would release five albums, generally their most successful recordings, with this line-up.
No Dice peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. Widely praised in music reviews at the time, Rolling Stone magazine opined that it represented what the Beatles would have sounded like had they retained their initial formula.
The EP was released after the band realized that they had written too many hardcore punk songs for their next record. Michael "Mike D" Diamond later said, "When we first started working on Hello Nasty in New York, Awol [Amery Smith] was around helping us get set up. Along with the usual bunch of experimental jamming/sampling etc., we started playing a bunch of hardcore, putting song arrangements together really quickly. Then I started writing vocals. Soon we realized that we had way too many hardcore songs to possibly put on the next album, so we decided to release them all together as an EP."
"Aglio e Olio" means Garlic and Oil in Italian, a reference to one of the simplest pasta dressings used in Italy. According to Mike D, the title was chosen "to let the kids know, it's eight songs but only ten minutes. It's important to let the people know".Aglio e Olio was the first album released by the Beastie Boys since their 1982 EP Polly Wog Stew to feature entirely hardcore punk songs. Almost all of the songs contained on the EP are almost under two minutes in length; each song is played quickly in the style of punk rock. Initial pressings of the CD and Vinyl release came with a small adhesive label affixed with the following warning to music buyers: "Only 8 songs, Only 11 minutes, Only cheap $."

Fort Minor - Believe Me (ft. Bobo and Styles of Beyond) [LYRICS]
"Believe Me" by Fort Minor featuring Eric Bobo and Styles of Beyond, from the 2005 album "The Rising Tied".
LYRICS:
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me
[Verse 1: Ryu]
I don't wanna be the one to blame
You like fun and games? Keep playing 'em
I'm just saying, think back then, you was like one of the same
On the right track, but I was on the wrong train
Just like that, now you gotta face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
And in your brain, like a maze, you can never escape the rain
Every damn day's the same shade of grey
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Hey, I used to have a little bit of plan
Used to...

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me
[Verse 1: Ryu]
I don't wanna be the one to blame
You like fun and games? Keep playing 'em
I'm just saying, think back then, you was like one of the same
On the right track, but I was on the wrong train
Just like that, now you gotta face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
And in your brain, like a maze, you can never escape the rain
Every damn day's the same shade of grey
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Hey, I used to have a little bit of plan
Used to have a concept of where I stand
But that concept slipped right out of my hand
Now, I don't really even know who I am
Yo, what do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
And whatever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen with me
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me
[Verse 3: Mike Shinoda]
Back then, I thought you were just like me
Somebody who could see all the pain I see
But you proved to me, unintentionally
That you would self-destruct eventually
Now, I'll be thinking like the mistake I made doesn't hurt
But it's not gonna work 'cause it's really much worse
Than I thought; I wished you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I got
[Verse 4: Tak]
You turn your back and walk away in shame
All you got is a memory of pain
Nothing makes sense, so you stare at the ground
And hear my voice in your head when no one else is around
So what do I have to say?
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
And whatever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen to me
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me
I guess that this is where we've come to
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I won't be there when you go down
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me
[Outro: Mike Shinoda]
(I'll do what I have to do)
You're on your own now, believe me
(Whatever happens to you)
You're on your own now, believe me

You're on your own now, believe me

"Believe Me" is one of two songs in The Rising Tied (other than "Red to Black") where Mike Shinoda also sings (besides rapping), specifically the chorus. The main melody of the song is from Apple Inc.'s GarageBand loops named "Orchestra Strings 08". In the end of the album version song, it is heard that Mike Shinoda says, "Okay, so here's the thing", and segues into "Get Me Gone".
Music video
The official music video was directed by Lauren Briet. The video simply shows Fort Minor in a parking garage, which is illuminated by lights that expand to one side. The chorus is presented with more exchanging lights in the shape of Mike Shinoda's head. Also, in the very last second of the video clip it is possible to see somebody (appears to be Tak) possibly tripping over or dancing just after the colored light passes Ryu. In the start of the video the water drops which fall on the ground synchronize with the beginning piano tune. DJ Cheapshot of Styles of Beyond and Eric Bobo also appear in the video, although none of them play any instruments.
