I'm Gone
DJ Kay Slay Feat. Eminem & Obie Trice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kay Slay! (Yeah)
Yo
Drama King! Yeah, (check it out, check it out)
O Trice!
(Shady Records nigga, it's goin' down once again, boy)
It's just a scratch, man (Let's go, Em)

I Murder this Inc as soon as I touch the page
You ain't gon' have no other choice but to rush the stage
And charge the mic, and I hope you got the heart to fight
'Cause you gon' have to, 'cause you ain't got the smarts to write
Something that good, to try to come back at me with
What you gon' do, try to out-rap me with that happy shit?
You motherfuckers crack me up, talkin' 'bout you gonna smack me up
Y'all won't even back me up
Throw up your paws, you pussies can't even scratch me hard
It's like fuckin' cats de-clawed tryin' to jack me off
You think I'm afraid? What you tryin' to throw some fear in me?
You think I'm dumb enough to roll with no security?
I'm doin' my best to try to show maturity
But don't sit there and stare at me like hoes and sneer at me
Like it's supposed to be scarin' me
Like I won't leap clean over this fuckin' V.I.P. rope and throw this chair
At anyone close or near me, tryin' to approach me physically
'Cause he don't spit lyrically
And he knows that my flow's so sick, his ho's on my dick
And he's so sick of hearin' me, my posters are starin' at him
But I don't think he knows the severity
Of what it could escalate to or that it could grow so seriously
If I go hysterically, 'cause I guarantee
There's no one in here that would resort back to childhood
Any quicker than I would, or hit you with plywood
Especially when I'm sippin' on this liquor and tonic
One swig of this bottle I'ma go upside your head so hard with it
The mark from it'll be so dark that it'll leave a scar so big
You'll be able to read a label from the motherfuckin'
Sticker that's on it, I'm sick of the nonsense
Shit is ridiculous and I refuse to let it get to this point
Where I'ma let you sit on my conscience
I'm gone, bitch (yeah)

I'm gone bitch
Shady Records, motherfucker, we gone, bitch
I said we gone, bitch, so long, bitch
Catch up if you can (woo), we movin' on, bitch (oh)

Now who you know been to Kyoto, Tokyo
Off of one debut, screamin', "I'm in Janai yo!"?
Obie Trice, showed you right
He done seen overseas, he's not a prototype (nah)
Nobody's protΓ©gΓ©, Em only showed O the way
Fuck what the media say
If you listen to music then you should know that O Trice fused it
In a matter where he speaks how the streets views it
Choose, to translate it through the art of music
And started using it reachin' the youth
Influenced by the truth in it (truth)
And as a boy, a man, I ran from boys in vans
Do the knowledge, acknowledge and try to comprehend
Hand full of contraband
A product of my environment, narcotics and violence
Inspires the content, but my intent is
To retire these tired-ass writers in silence (yeah)
'Cause haters, they hate us 'cause Shady became famous
And claimed the rap game when they thought he'd be nameless (hah)
But racist accusations won't change us
Let the truth be told, you think O will be over here
Like, "Massa, show them you got soul" (Massa)
No, anybody knows us knows that's not how we roll
So, I still push the bucket




If I ain't trust it I wouldn't fuck with it
But fuck it, I'm gone bitch!

Throw up your paws, you pussies can't even scratch me hard
Raise your hands in surrender, you weaklings can't even harm me

Like I won't leap clean over this fuckin' V.I.P. rope and throw this chair
I am capable of jumping over this VIP rope and throwing this chair at you


At anyone close or near me, tryin' to approach me physically

And he knows that my flow's so sick, his ho's on my dick
He is jealous of me because his girlfriends like me


And he's so sick of hearin' me, my posters are starin' at him
He is tired of hearing my music, even my posters seem to mock him


But I don't think he knows the severity
He does not understand the seriousness of the situation


Of what it could escalate to or that it could grow so seriously
He does not realize how serious this can become


If I go hysterically, 'cause I guarantee
If I lose control, I promise you


There's no one in here that would resort back to childhood
No one here is more likely to act immature than me


Any quicker than I would, or hit you with plywood
I will hit you with a piece of wood with no hesitation


Especially when I'm sippin' on this liquor and tonic
Especially when I'm drinking this alcoholic beverage


One swig of this bottle I'ma go upside your head so hard with it
If I take one sip, I will hit you with the bottle so hard that it hurts


The mark from it'll be so dark that it'll leave a scar so big
The mark from the bottle hit will leave a huge, noticeable scar


You'll be able to read a label from the motherfuckin' sticker that's on it
The hit will be so hard that you will be able to read the label on the bottle


I'm sick of the nonsense
I am tired of the foolishness


Shit is ridiculous and I refuse to let it get to this point
The situation has become absurd, and I will not allow it to continue


Where I'ma let you sit on my conscience
I will not let you cause me to feel guilty


I'm gone, bitch
I am leaving, goodbye


Shady Records, motherfucker, we gone, bitch
Shady Records is leaving too


I said we gone, bitch, so long, bitch
I said it before, and I will say it again, goodbye


Catch up if you can (woo), we movin' on, bitch (oh)
Try to follow us if you can, but we are moving on


Now who you know been to Kyoto, Tokyo
Do you know anyone else who has been to Kyoto and Tokyo?


Off of one debut, screamin', "I'm in Janai yo!"?
With only one debut album, I was already popular in Japan


Obie Trice, showed you right
Obie Trice is the real deal


He done seen overseas, he's not a prototype (nah)
Obie Trice has seen the world, he is not just a copy


Nobody's protΓ©gΓ©, Em only showed O the way
Obie Trice is not a student, he is a peer of Eminem


Fuck what the media say
I don't care what the media says, it's all lies


If you listen to music then you should know that O Trice fused it
If you like music, you know that Obie Trice is a very talented rapper


In a matter where he speaks how the streets views it
Obie Trice raps about how the streets see the world


Choose, to translate it through the art of music
He expresses these views through his music


And started using it reachin' the youth
He uses his music to reach young people


Influenced by the truth in it (truth)
He is influenced by the truth in his music


And as a boy, a man, I ran from boys in vans
When I was younger, I had to run away from kidnappers


Do the knowledge, acknowledge and try to comprehend
Understand and try to comprehend what I am saying


Hand full of contraband
I used to carry illegal items


A product of my environment, narcotics and violence
I grew up in a violent, drug-filled environment


Inspires the content, but my intent is
My music is influenced by my experiences, but my goal is


To retire these tired-ass writers in silence (yeah)
To become so successful that other writers give up


'Cause haters, they hate us 'cause Shady became famous
People hate us because Eminem became famous


And claimed the rap game when they thought he'd be nameless (hah)
He became very successful when others thought he would fail


But racist accusations won't change us
Even if people accuse us of being racist, we won't change


Let the truth be told, you think O will be over here
Let me tell you the truth, do you really think Obie Trice will act like a slave?


Like, "Massa, show them you got soul" (Massa)
Like saying, "Master, let me show you how much soul I have"


No, anybody knows us knows that's not how we roll
Everyone who knows us knows that we would never act like that


So, I still push the bucket
I still drive a crappy car


If I ain't trust it I wouldn't fuck with it
If I didn't trust the car, I wouldn't drive it


But fuck it, I'm gone bitch!
But whatever, I'm leaving
