Believe Me

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
Ryu:
Yo, I don't wanna be the one to blame
You like fun and games, keep playin' 'em
I'm just sayin'
Think back then we was like one and the same
On the right track, but I was on the wrong train
It's like that, now you gotta face the pain
And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
In your brain like a maze you can never escape
The rain, every damn day's the same shade of grey

Mike:
Hey, I used to have a little bit of a plan
Used to, have a concept of where I stand
But that concept slipped right outta 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 its not gonna happen with 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

Mike:
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'm thinkin' like the mistake that I made doesn't hurt
But it's not gonna work cause its
Really much worse than I thought
I wished you were something you were not
And now this guilt is really all that I've got

Tak:
You turned your back and walk away ashamed
All you got
Is a memory and pain, nothing makes sense
You stare at the ground, and hear my voice inside your head
When no one else is around
What do I have to say
Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free, yeah
Whatever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen to 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

(Yeah. Lets go)

I'm guess that this is where we've come to
(Yeah)
If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me
But I, won't be there when you go down
(Yeah)
Just so you know now
You're on your own now, believe me

I'm doing 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
What do I have to say?
You're on your own now believe me




Its not gonna happen to me
You're on your own now believe me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BoBo's song "Believe Me" delve into the theme of broken friendships due to past mistakes and diverging paths. The first verse asserts that the singer cannot convince the person to believe them, implying that there is already a lack of trust. The chorus emphasizes that the singer cannot help the other person anymore and they are left alone to deal with their problems. The verses of Ryu and Mike respectively discuss their individual experiences and realization of a growing apart between former friends while acknowledging the mistakes they have made. Tak's verse explores the aftermath of the friendship's end and the struggle of moving on when the memories still linger. The repetition of "you're on your own now believe me" in the chorus reinforces the message of letting go and moving on.

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
Yo, 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 is the same shade of grey
Hey, I use to have a little bit of plan
Use 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
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
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
You turn your back and walk away in shame
All you got is a memory of pain
Nothing makes sense and 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, yeah
And whatever happens to you, we'll see
But it's not gonna happen to 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

@Sheeponwheels

This song is full of the most underrated talent Hip-Hop/Rap has ever seen

@madmodder123

For real SoB is so good, if anyone hasn't heard their other stuff listen to their Megadef album, it doesn't disappoint!

@Frankied693

it's a god-DAMN good song! the beats are great laid out with the lyrics.

@rewschreijewschrei

was always maybe my fav track on here, then High Road after the single Whered U Go. Remember the name was and is good but. it got insanely overplayed

@NazriB

Lies again? Barcelona One USD SGD

@destinymythbusters975

I cant believe how underrated he is!

@giedo677

+Destiny Mythbusters yup cant believe it 2...

@daniellotuchee6519

+Destiny Mythbusters this is one of the best albums ever too.

@DsGBiohazard

That's just... Not true... Fort Minor is the name of the group, which was started by Mike Shinoda. Mike Shinoda is also one of the founders of Linkin Park, and is the co-vocalist. He isn't underrated in the slightest.

@williamkenny6383

Destiny Mythbusters Hes far from under rated. You must not have been around when he controlled the entire decade.
