Slip Out The Back - Fort Minor (feat. Mr. Hahn) 

Damn, it's 2023 and this song hits harder than ever. It's sad how underrated Mike is.

"Forgot perfect, I'm trying not to be worthless." ^ Always gives me the chills.

How the hell is this not Fort Minor's most popular song by a LONG shot??? Fuck Remember the Name, this song is in a completely different league.

Mike Shinoda doesn't write songs, he writes stories with a beat behind them

this song fuckin haunts me, gets me every time, can't believe it's over a decade old

11 years later. Still a timeless classic.

Mike Shinoda is a Gift to the Rapper Scene. He dont need any Bitches he dont need Bling Bling, Cars and Money: He needs us to listen his Great Tracks! THAT is Art in my Eyes

i just cant handle it. The music is just too good.

Mike has that bite to his lyrics. I wonder what's in store with Chester no more. RIP, hope to see you on the other side Mr. Bennington.

I think the part about this track that hits home most for me is that it certainly seems to be written for *some one specific* Beauty and art for sure.

You know me I used to get caught up in everyday life Trying to make it through my day so I could sleep at night Tried to figure out my way through the maze of rights and wrongs But like you used to say Nothing feels like it's really worth it Forget perfect, I'm trying not to be worthless Since I last saw you I've been looking for a purpose Well, I met this kid who thought like I did He had a weird way of looking at it This is what he said Slip out the back before they know you were there And at the worst you'll see nobody cares Cause you don't wanna be around when it all goes down Even heroes know when to be scared Now, I don't remember where I met him Or remember his name But he walked funny like he was just too big for his frame Just over five foot but he weighed a buck fifty And what he said seemed so right it stuck with me Listen, it's like poker, you can play your best But you gotta know when to fold your cards and take a rest And know when to hold your cards, hold your breath And hope that nobody else is stacking the deck Because I don't need to tell you that life isn't fair It doesn't care, it arbitrarily cuts off your air And like you, I want someone to say it's okay In the truest part of our hearts everybody's afraid We're just under-appreciated and overwhelmed Fighting so hard to hide our fear that we're scaring ourselves You understand what I'm saying, cause you always did But it's different in the words of a cowardly kid who said And I'm no hero You remember how it was, you know All I ever did was worry, feeling out of control To the point where everything was going end over end I'm spinning around in circles again This is where you come in All of this to explain to you why I had to Separate myself away from yesterday's life Please remember, this isn't how I hoped it would be But I had to protect you from me That's why I Slipped out the back before you knew I was there I know you felt unprepared But every single time I was around I'd just bring you down And I could tell that it was time to be scared That's why I Slipped out the back before you knew I was there And I know the way I left wasn't fair I didn't wanna be around just to bring you down I'm not a hero but don't think I didn't care

They are both awesome people, remember they've known each other since teenagers in art school! And they are in the same freaking band.

fucking mike's voice. makes me pay attention to the song. something about it. damn. real good.

2005-2006 COME BACK!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭

I know this song isn't about Chester, but it just hits different now, I can't really explain it!

"I'm not a hero, but don't think I didn't care. "🖤

Coming back to this album hits different.

10 years ago~ this song is still relevant

"slip out the back before they know you were there,at the worst you'll see nobody cares,'cause you don't wanna be around when it all goes down,even heroes know when to be scared." pow'rful...

Best...There are no songs like this now anymore...Fort Minor needs to rise!

"I'm not a hero" Believe me mike, u ARE a hero for making REAL music.

Fort minor need to drop another album

Mike, please come back to Fort Minor...we need you ❤

This is as good as it can get. Good story, interesting beat, charming voice. Damn this is good, and it always was.

What a masterpiece

13 Years Later Still A Good Album

Mr. Hahn is the underrated producer.

If u listen to his lyrics the whole story in this song. U know what kinda kid he was. This song is deeper than most people realise, great song!

i love this song. it makes me feel not so alone....that someone out there can possibly be feeling the same things i am...it gets me through one more day...

Mike if you ever read i just want to say thanks cause this song&many of the other songs you've done(LP&FM) has over the year help me from putting an end to it all so thanks man

this song never gets old 🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸 my jam 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 😎

This is great, some of the finest allegory style rap I've heard. The poetic structure is amazing along with the classical background

This song is so true about me, when my parents fight I would sneak out to get away from it and I would go to a friends house and try not to think about it, and the sad part is that my parents give a single shit were I was

“even heroes know when to be scared” damn that hits hard

"But every single time I was around I'd just bring you down". Damn man this really hits hard. Listen to this feels subreal, like being stuck back in 2005. in my opinion is more than a song, is a experience

Those lyrics hit like a fucking truck.

Chilling

I needed to hear this right now... being alone is one true feeling.

This song sends chills down my spine that I can't explain.. every damn time I listen to it. In a way.. this song scares me. I've never heard a song that's done that before.

Goosebumps through the while song, intensify right at the end, every single time

This song is balm for a tired and exhausted soul who just needs to breathe.....

"Slip Out The Back" You know me, I used to get caught up in everyday life Tried to make it through my day so I could sleep at night Tried to figure out my way through the maze Of rights and wrongs, but like you used to say Nothing feels like it's really worth it Forget perfect, I'm trying not to be worthless Since I last saw you I been looking for a purpose Well I met this kid who thought like I did He had a weird way of looking at it This is what he said Slip out the back before they know you were there And at the worst you'll see nobody cares Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down Even heroes know when to be scared Slip out the back before they know you were there And at the worst you'll see nobody cares Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down Even heroes know when to be scared I don't remember where I met him or remember his name But he walked funny like he was just too big for his frame Just over five foot but he weighed a buck fifty And what he said just seemed so right it stuck with me Listen its like poker you can play your best But you got to know when to fold your cards and take a rest And know when to hold your cards and hold your breath And hope that nobody else is stacking the deck because I don't need to tell you that life isn't fair, it doesn't care It arbitrarily cuts off your air, and like you I want someone to say its OKAY But in the truest parts of our hearts everybody's afraid But just underappreciated and overwhelmed Fighting so hard to hide our fear that were scaring ourselves You understand when I'm saying that you always did But its different in the words of a cowardly kid Slip out the back before they know you were there And at the worst you'll see nobody cares Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down Even heroes know when to be scared Slip out the back before they know you were there And at the worst you'll see nobody cares Cos you don't wanna be around when it all goes down Even heroes know when to be scared I'm no hero, you remember how I was, you know All I ever did was worry, feeling out of control To the point where everything was going end over end I'm spinning around in circles again This is where you come in All of this to explain to you why I had to separate myself away from yesterday's life Please remember this isn't how I hoped it would be But I had to protect you from me Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there I know you felt unprepared But every single time I was around I just bring you down And I could tell that it was time to be scared Thats why I slipped out the back before you knew I was there And I know the way I left wasn't fair I didn't want to be around just to bring you down I'm not a hero but don't think I didn't care

I had a handicapped friend in highschool who introduced me to Fort Minor. This was the first song he showed me. R.I.P Homeboy

This song touches me. Too good

Never gets old

2020 here and still vibing to this song like it just came out

This song makes so much more sense the more the years pass

Such an eerily haunting song with an equally eerie and somber beat.

i literally just got chills all up and down my body listening to this

7 years and this song still fits me. geez

I don't know if it is just me or not. But this seems eerily similar to Chester's incident. At least part of the lyrics do. After Chester, I don't think I will ever see an LP, FM or DBS song the same ever again. Tell me if you feel the same.

Most underrated track of all😍🔥

This is that music that stands the test of time, MIKE SHINODA. Certified LEGEND!.

I love that ending bit.

The beat and the lyrics both awesome !!! i'm one of it who still listen in 2011 !!

10 Years Later: Still A Banger

i dont like rap...but i like shinoda

Why dislike?

its just so real and so chill

Fuckin' 2016. Beat still one of the tightest, lyrics simply beyond reach.

this song makes me feel like someone made a prophecy of something bad that is coming. and that no one will be able to help anyone!!...2017 still listening

just awesome

Goosebumps.

March 2020 and still gold!!

“Even heroes know when to be scared” 100% true

"Im not a hero but dont think i didnt care" just sends shivers down my spine, its just so fucking bueatiful. I might actually go out and by the album, I feel like the reason he isnt making any more music is because of douche bags like me who dont pay for my music. Please fellow piraters, support him and show that his music is the best so that he will finally make a new album.

Love how the sounds from Introduction come back in at the end of the song. Makes the album feel like it "came full circle", if you will.

Truer words have never been said

I remember hearing this when I was a kid to this day"Even heroes know when to be scared" is a line that gives me legitimate fear

"Even heroes know when to be scared" that is so true. Most people considered "Heros" are actually people who know what true fear is and can move through despite being afraid

Why has Mr Hahn not released a solo/collaborative album yet? Such an underrated, proper DJ

underrated song 👏❤

This song isn't about running away, its about ending it all...this would've been my song two years ago

Thinking of this after hearing about Chester.....

Still a banger and Mike is the greatest

Love this !

I wish I could animate the story I see in my head for this song....

this is so... amazing its like its.. i cant find the word.

sick beat

this is a great song. I hope they make more like this

Thhhhhhhaaat's what she said. Plz no hate, I fan.

This is so underrated.

Love This Song... So Sad... Love You Mike, Stay Strong❤❤❤❤❤🙏💜💙💚🧡💛🙏❤❤❤❤❤

Mike Shinoda and his piano = ♥

superb melody!!!well done.....

I love the beat, it is somehow strange but melodic tho

Fort Minor IS A LEGEND IN THE RAP GAME NOW!!!!

fort minor has always meant alot to me, it described how i felt perfectly about 2 years ago... Its so depressing listening to it now though, makes me tear up every time i listen to a song. other than petrified and in stereo of course lol. those arent emotional those are party songs

Anybody with music theory knowledge: what scale is this intro riff? I can't find it anywhere. This sounds 90% like the Arabic scale (aka Gypsy Major, Double Harmonic) but with an altered flat 7. Almost like Phrygian but with a natural third. Or a melodic major with a flat 2. What is this madness? I love it.

If you're still here, you're a legend

now understand why my friend listens...

Dat music doe

Love it favorite song
