Im Gone
Eminem; Obie Trice Lyrics

I Murder this Inc as soon as I touch the page
I'm so good at rapping that I'll destroy any competition as soon as I start writing lyrics

You ain't gon' have no other choice but to rush the stage
My rap skills are so powerful that people will be compelled to come see me perform live

And charge the mic, and I hope you got the heart to fight
I expect other rappers to try and take me on, but they better be prepared for a battle

'Cause you gon' have to, 'cause you ain't got the smarts to write
Other rappers aren't smart enough to come up with lyrics that can compete with mine

Something that good, to try to come back at me with
They won't be able to come back at me with anything nearly as good as what I can do

What you gon' do, try to out-rap me with that happy shit?
I don't take fake or happy lyrics seriously, and no one can beat me in a rap battle with that kind of content

You motherfuckers crack me up, talkin' 'bout you gonna smack me up
Other rappers who threaten me are ridiculous and can't actually do anything to intimidate me

Y'all won't even back me up
They won't even support me or stand by my side

Throw up your paws, you pussies can't even scratch me hard
You can't even hurt me--it's like a cat without claws trying to take me down

It's like fuckin' cats de-clawed tryin' to jack me off
Even if they try to mess with me, it's like a cat without claws trying to jack me off--they can't do it

You think I'm afraid? What you tryin' to throw some fear in me?
I'm not scared of anyone trying to intimidate me

You think I'm dumb enough to roll with no security?
I'm not stupid enough to go without security when I know there are people who might try to hurt me

I'm doin' my best to try to show maturity
I'm trying to be more mature and not let things bother me as much as they used to

But don't sit there and stare at me like hoes and sneer at me
Don't look at me disrespectfully, like how some women might view me as inferior and sneer at me

Like it's supposed to be scarin' me
Don't expect me to be scared of your petty insults or looks

Like I won't leap clean over this fuckin' V.I.P. rope and throw this chair
I won't hesitate to jump over a barrier and attack someone physically if they upset me enough

At anyone close or near me, tryin' to approach me physically
If anyone tries to come at me physically, I won't hesitate to fight back

'Cause he don't spit lyrically
If someone can't rap as well as I can, they won't tangle with me in a rap battle

And he knows that my flow's so sick, his ho's on my dick
Other rappers know how good my rapping is, and that's why some of their own fans even like my music more

And he's so sick of hearin' me, my posters are starin' at him
Other rappers can't stand how good I am, and they see my face everywhere they go

But I don't think he knows the severity
Other rappers don't realize how serious I am about my craft and how hard I'll work to stay on top

Of what it could escalate to or that it could grow so seriously
They don't realize that a rivalry between us could become a much bigger deal if they keep pushing me

If I go hysterically, 'cause I guarantee
If I lose control or get too angry, I know I could cause a lot of damage

There's no one in here that would resort back to childhood
I know that I can be childish sometimes, and I guarantee no one here is more childish than I am

Any quicker than I would, or hit you with plywood
If I decide to use violence, I'll be quicker and more destructive than anyone else here

Especially when I'm sippin' on this liquor and tonic
I might be more likely to start a fight if I've had some alcohol to drink

One swig of this bottle I'ma go upside your head so hard with it
If someone upsets me, I won't hesitate to use a bottle as a weapon against them

The mark from it'll be so dark that it'll leave a scar so big
If I hit someone hard enough with a bottle, it'll leave a big scar that will never fully heal

You'll be able to read a label from the motherfuckin' Sticker that's on it
The wound will be so bad you could literally read the label on the bottle that caused it

I'm sick of the nonsense
I'm tired of all the petty insults and drama between rappers

Shit is ridiculous and I refuse to let it get to this point
I won't let this situation get any worse because it's already ridiculous and childish

Where I'ma let you sit on my conscience
I don't want to have to regret any violent or aggressive actions I might take because of this drama

I'm gone, bitch
I'm done with this situation and I'm leaving

Now who you know been to Kyoto, Tokyo
I've travelled to some unique places, like Kyoto and Tokyo

Off of one debut, screamin', "I'm in Janai yo!"?
Even when I was starting out, I was already rapping about being successful and living the good life

Obie Trice, showed you right
Obie Trice is a talented rapper who has proven himself in the industry

He done seen overseas, he's not a prototype (nah)
He's travelled all around the world and isn't just copying what other rappers have done before him

Nobody's protégé, Em only showed O the way
Obie Trice isn't just copying me, he's a talented rapper in his own right who learned some things from me along the way

Fuck what the media say
I don't care about what the media says or thinks about me or other rappers

If you listen to music then you should know that O Trice fused it
If you're a fan of rap music, you should know that Obie Trice has a unique style that combines different genres

In a matter where he speaks how the streets views it
His lyrics reflect the struggles and experiences of people who live in the streets

Choose, to translate it through the art of music
He decides to express these experiences through his music, using his artistic talent to tell a story

And started using it reachin' the youth
He tries to make a difference by reaching young people and showing them a different way of life

Influenced by the truth in it (truth)
He's motivated by the truth and the real stories of the people he's trying to reach

And as a boy, a man, I ran from boys in vans
Growing up, Obie Trice had to run from people who tried to hurt him or kidnap him

Do the knowledge, acknowledge and try to comprehend
Think about what he went through and try to understand the struggles of people who grow up in that environment

Hand full of contraband
He's had to deal with illegal things in order to survive

A product of my environment, narcotics and violence
The environment Obie Trice grew up in was full of drugs and violence, and it influenced his life and his music

Inspires the content, but my intent is
While he's influenced by the violence and drugs around him, he's trying to inspire others and change things for the better

To retire these tired-ass writers in silence (yeah)
He's sick of rappers who aren't passionate about their craft and just copy what others have done before them

'Cause haters, they hate us 'cause Shady became famous
Some people don't like us just because we're successful and famous

And claimed the rap game when they thought he'd be nameless (hah)
People didn't think I was talented enough to make it in the rap game, but I proved them wrong and became successful anyway

But racist accusations won't change us
People who accuse us of being racist or prejudiced won't be able to change us or our music

Let the truth be told, you think O will be over here
The truth is, Obie Trice isn't going to change his music or his style just to please his critics

Like, "Massa, show them you got soul" (Massa)
He's not going to act subservient or change his style to please white critics who expect him to act a certain way

No, anybody knows us knows that's not how we roll
People who know us know that we're true to ourselves and won't change our style just to fit in

So, I still push the bucket
Even though he's successful, he still has to work hard and grind in order to keep making music

If I ain't trust it I wouldn't fuck with it
If he doesn't think something is good or worth his time, he won't bother with it

But fuck it, I'm gone bitch!
He's done talking about his haters and critics, and he's moving on with his life and his music career
