Gone Insane
Ab-Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like, I'm affiliated with, the illuminati, bitch
All seein' fuckin eye (I), this is your enlightenment
I'm lightin' this, fire my supplier always like to give
Higher than I've ever been these heights are mighty frightening
Throw ya hands up as if you wanna strike like lightening
Don't shoot, you can't fight a viking on vicodin
Can you? Hmmmm I would like to see you try it then
That was yummy yummy, dummy dummy, nothing's funny funny
Give a bitch a sippy sippy, then I get some sucky sucky
Sucky sucky now, think the nigga must be lucky lucky
She's such a doll, I guess that makes me Chucky
Wassup with ya'll other than nothing at all?
Bitches lickin' my balls, you ain't nuttin' at all!
You ain't nuttin' at all
Neither am I
Heaven's a better place, I hope you all die!
I think I'm Jimi Hendrix, I think I'm Kurt Cobain
I think I'm John Lennon, gone insane
Someone take this gun, before I blow out my brains (BANG)
Ab-Soul, and A-Y-I-R-O
[Chorus:]
Grab a bitch then grab ya dick
Pop a fifth and have a sip
Smoke a blunt, pop a pill
Fly nigga, fly nigga
Party every single night
Mingle with a nigga wife
Doggone, we all gone
Die nigga, die nigga
[Verse 2:]
Life's a bitch, but she won't let me hit
So I just masturbate to her naked flicks
I ain't got change for a dolla, but I think I'm making sense
I do resemble my father, but do I really know I'm his?
Sometimes I like to go on a tangent of random shit
Stay with her Black n Mild out with a handful of acid tips
Skywalker in the blunt, Darth Vader in the cup
You don't get lifted with us, your elevators stuck
I never gave a fuck, my name never came up
But now that I done came up, I think I'm King Tut
I told Punch I'd probably get assassinated by the government
He probably think I'm sniffin' cocaine and some other shit
I'm on some other shit, Black Hippie ho!
Yippy ka yeee, Yippy ka yoo
Tilt ya head you see me in the sky
Heaven's a better place, I hope you all die!
I think I'm Jimi Hendrix, I think I'm Kurt Cobain
I think I'm John Lennon, gone insane
Someone take this gun, before I blow out my brains (BANG)
Ab-Soul, and A-Y-I-R-O
[Chorus:]
Grab a bitch then grab ya dick
Pop a fifth and have a sip
Smoke a blunt, pop a pill
Fly nigga, fly nigga
Party every single night
Mingle with a nigga wife
Doggone, we all gone
Die nigga, die nigga
[Verse 3:]
Drownin' in Moscato, popular pothead
Feel like I hit the lotto, and I just got head
From a famous model (who?), Gloria Velez
Lusting for Cubana's culo you know what it is
I think I'm Jimi Hendrix, experience my fate
All I'm missin' is a band of gypsies and some purple haze
But now it's OG Kush and aeroinstrumentals
No need to insinuate, miss me with the innuendo
Ya outlooks lousy someone needs a new window
I'm a win I just don't know when though
you bimbos know what you in for some info to
make you exercise your mental
A seed small as my pinkie can be your weeping willow
I'm so I'll I'm held hostage at a hospital
Doin' it big like not little
Tivo the revolution when it's televised
Heaven's a better place, I hope you all die!
I think I'm Jimi Hendrix, I think I'm Kurt Cobain
I think I'm John Lennon, gone insane
Someone take this gun, before I blow out my brains (BANG)
Ab-Soul, and A-Y-I-R-O
[Chorus:]
Grab a bitch then grab ya dick
Pop a fifth and have a sip
Smoke a blunt, pop a pill
Fly nigga, fly nigga
Party every single night
Mingle with a nigga wife
Doggone, we all gone
Die nigga, die nigga
In "Gone Insane," Ab-Soul combines humor, drug culture references, and social commentary, painting a picture of a profound level of disillusionment with mainstream society. The first verse opens with him rapping about his connection to the Illuminati, a secretive organization believed by many to be controlling world events. However, his next line - "this is your enlightenment" - suggests that his disillusionment with society led him to explore these fringe beliefs as a means of finding meaning in life. The rest of the verse explores Ab-Soul's drug use, with references to Vicodin and acid, before ending with a dark twist: he finds no joy in sexual encounters, and he hopes that everyone dies.
The chorus repeats the phrase "die nigga, die nigga," which initially appears to be a celebration of nihilism. However, as the song goes on, it becomes clear that Ab-Soul is not advocating for his listeners' deaths, but rather expressing the extreme alienation he feels from the world around him. The following verses continue to explore his disconnection from society and his altered states of consciousness, with references to famous musicians and models, but always with the underlying sense that something is deeply wrong.
One of the most interesting aspects of "Gone Insane" is the way Ab-Soul uses humor to mask his pain. Lines like "I be eatin' rappers that's the only way I'm bitin' them" are funny on their own, but become much darker when contextualized with the rest of the song. This tension between levity and darkness makes the track both engaging and uncomfortable, forcing the listener to confront the darker aspects of American culture that Ab-Soul is grappling with.
