Goin' Down
Ol' Dirty Bastard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said I go by the unforgettable name of the man called Unique G
Well, my name is known all over the world
To the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
I go down in history
As the baddest brother that ever could be
You couldn't show me
Didn't know me
How to be a true MC
My advantage on the M-I-C is the slang
That I manifest so you could never hang
Obviously you know my name by now
I done thrown stupid parties all through your town
Dirt McGirt, that's my motherfucking name
Love to flirt, that's my motherfucking game
They said "Who want to be an MC?"
I am the original G-O-D
Making young ladies scream (is) my specialty
See my style, different from yours
Make young bitch want to drop their drawers
I gotta song for you all
Somewhere over the rainbow
Where bluebirds fly
Somewhere over the rainbow
Why oh why
Hear me now!
Style funky, you know that's me
Killer bee whohoho one man army
Down for mine when I go on tour
Throw your hands in the air if you want more
Style is evil is like an wicked witch
With the mi-ca-phone, funky as a bitch
Which is which, makes me nasty nasty
Next on the mic is the rappin' nuh
You want some of the Ason's gun
Shoot the nigga, blaow, reaches no one
Then you know not to touch my hoe
I like livin' my own fuckin' show
In these lyrics, Ol' Dirty Bastard, who refers to himself as Unique G, introduces himself as a legendary rapper with an unforgettable name. He boasts about being well-known not just in his local area but all around the world. He also claims to be the baddest brother that ever could be. His bragging is not unfounded as he further claims that his style is different from that of other rappers and his slang is so unique that no one could replicate it.
ODB then goes on to reveal his specialty in making young ladies scream with his style, which is evil like a wicked witch. He tells us that his game is flirting and he loves flirting with young ladies. He presents himself as the original G-O-D making it clear that he is not just an ordinary rapper but a god in the game. In the chorus, he goes into a brief rendition of the classic song "Somewhere over the Rainbow," which is a stark contrast to the intense ego display in the rest of the song.
In the last verse, ODB reveals his killer bee style, introducing himself as "Ason," which is his other known pseudonym. He describes himself as a one-man army, wicked and nasty. He warns any rivals not to touch his woman or suffer the consequences. In conclusion, "Goin' Down" is a song that portrays Ol' Dirty Bastard as a lyrical genius with an unmatched swagger and unique style.

PHENOMENON !!!
Un flow inegalable et inattendu jusqu'alors
Un timbré génial
Un clodo milliardaire
Le roi des paradoxes
Rapper, chanter, beatbox, pur hiphop strict et dur, ou tube r'n'b (Mariah Carey ... ) etc il savait tout faire
univers deglingué, aussi INDISPENSABLE au Wu-Tang et membre à part entiere de celui-ci,
Que perché tout seul dans sa sphere unique et comparable à rien ni personne d'autre dans le rap ...
J'ai pris en pleine gueule les quelques années de sa trop courte carrière, et son talent hallucinant me choque encore tant d'années plus tard .
FASCINANT
ODB 🙏
Much Respect & Love from Marseille FRANCE

@ARIF74
I remember reading or hearing his mother had singing skills and she used to do it at home when he was a kid. Maybe I’m wrong.
