Back Home - Fort Minor (feat. Common and Styles of Beyond) 

This whole album is very special to me. I'm thankful for it and how it helped me through tough times. Mike is a great human being.

In many ways this Album raised me....... Got my first taste in 2007 still knocking the dust out this album in 2021

How does this have so little views? This is one of the best FM songs...

These dudes had amazing songs, the whole album is awesome, Mike nailed it! 👏

Back home Everybody's searching for somethin' But all they can find is a whole lot of nothin' Back home Ain't nobody hoping and praying 'Cause they feel like nothing can save 'em And they try to hold out but they can't fight the fact that Life goes black when those lights go out But I guess you gotta just watch out for your own 'Cause ain't a damn thing free Back home Back home they holler "disciple" and "blackstone" Some black they freebase yo we trapped on Where our grandmothers marched the guns clap on There's liquor stores, beauty supplies, and rap songs I travel the world just to come back to it The crib got a lot of soul like black music I'm attached to it In many ways this city raised me and gave me The drama, honor, and bravery The streets seem hollow when I go to Chicago It's cheap wine and sorrow Times hard to swallow In search of God's tomorrow I borrow words from the Bible and use them for survival gangs rival Signs painted on the walls like hieroglyphics I tell 'em that this is all tribal Used to do dirt shorty's goin' through the same cycle And trials like Michael tryin' not to stay idle Back home it's not Compton but close The same problems exist and the pain throbbin' And folks are so common It don't really bother us much we just swallow it uh Crack the bottle and smoke hope tomorrow something Magical happens that'll put me back in the biz But the chances of it actually happening's kinda slim Back home we get the good life at glimpse In the form of a rap start, drug dealers, and pimps I'm back home Back home I try my best to keep it together it's cold Like the Windy City streets of December I pace back and forth looking for the courage to shine But can't tap the source need something to nourish my mind I know we all lose quite a bit in life Only to gain some Life or the dark winding roads we came from But I move with the night so I'm used to the shade And never lose sight bringing truth back to the game Back home we've got a lot of shit on our minds We're always behind on something 'cause there's not enough time And we're non-stop bottom line doing what we gotta do To get some food in the fridge and stay out of the hospital Back home there's people calling us hopeless People trying to tell us all we need is some focus But focus Focus is overrated Cause you see very blemish and mistake and can't change it Back home is Alvarado K-Town and J-Town Or Little Tokyo for those that don't know Where figures shiver living right in the litter Where kids write nigga right inside the L.A River On the concrete a symbol of out everyday way It's that color and concentration over heavy gray And by the time the ink dries on this page I'll be half a day away from the place where I stay

Bumps so hard even in 2020

I've been listening since 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018 !!! it's ALLLLL about that Fort Minor yo !!! FM radio now means Fort Minor !!!

as a whole its one of the best albums ever made imo

THE BEAT IS THE FIREST BEAT IN THE ALBUM!

Best off the album and very special... Gave me strength when I needed it most

Going back home tomorrow, its rough and this song popped in my head

Sickest beat

2019...still lit AF

Still listen to this fire right here!!!

i remember when this album came out and i wonder how in never blew up

The fucking nostalgia hits so hard.

big track!!

This song reminds me of when i came back from afghanistan....lol!

yeah back home !

Feel like home-back home,deep layers

ＳＨＵＴ　ＵＰ　ＡＮＤ　ＥＮＪＯＹ　ＴＨＥ　ＭＵＳＩＣ！

This is what the new 🏫 should be learning from. The realness and the purity of Hip-Hop and this is a classic example.

❤❤❤😂😂🎉 rapper Common is featured on the album Mike Shinobu keep up the good work

Smooooooooth

they said all you need focus, but focus, focus is overrated, you see every blemish and mistake and cant change it

Damn I feel old. It feel like yesterday I was uploading these songs on my Bebo page 😂

sick

That bass guitar causes goosebumps for me.

back home we're no one, our hometown's in the dark sorry, but i saw an opportunity and took it

DO ANOTHER Album

How did I not know this song for 3 years listening to the rising tied? 🤔

🌆 Music!

⚜️

Who is listening in 2019?

I Love you ดาราคุณวุ้นเส้นค่ะ

2:30 truth

In my opinion, the beat is good and the lyrics are mad but it isn't the best song from FM. It's much better than most of the bs that comes from modern day rappers.

Still fire.

If you're still here in 2021 you're a fucking legend

WTF! Only 8,900 veiws? Must only be mine :)
