I'm Gone
Eminem ft. Obie Trice & DMX Lyrics

I Murder this Inc as soon as I touch the page
I am so skilled at rap that I can destroy other artists with ease.

You ain't gon' have no other choice but to rush the stage
If someone tries to compete with me, they will have to physically confront me on stage.

And charge the mic, and I hope you got the heart to fight
I am daring anyone who tries to challenge me to come forward and face me.

'Cause you gon' have to, 'cause you ain't got the smarts to write
The reason why someone would have to fight me is because they are not talented enough to beat me with their words.

Something that good, to try to come back at me with
It would take a truly talented person to come up with a comeback to my rap.

What you gon' do, try to out-rap me with that happy shit?
There is no way that someone can defeat me by using happy or positive lyrics.

You motherfuckers crack me up, talkin' 'bout you gonna smack me up
It's ridiculous for anyone to threaten physical violence against me.

Y'all won't even back me up
Even my supposed friends or allies are not willing to support me.

Throw up your paws, you pussies can't even scratch me hard
Even if someone tries to fight me, they won't be able to hurt me.

It's like fuckin' cats de-clawed tryin' to jack me off
Someone trying to harm me is as ineffective as a cat with no claws trying to masturbate.

You think I'm afraid? What you tryin' to throw some fear in me?
I am not intimidated by anyone trying to scare me.

You think I'm dumb enough to roll with no security?
I am not foolish enough to let down my guard and move around without protection.

I'm doin' my best to try to show maturity
I am trying to be more grown-up and responsible in my actions.

But don't sit there and stare at me like hoes and sneer at me
I do not appreciate people looking down on me with contempt or disrespect.

Like it's supposed to be scarin' me
I am not scared by anyone's attempts to intimidate me.

Like I won't leap clean over this fuckin' V.I.P. rope and throw this chair
I am capable of physically attacking someone who tries to mess with me, even if it means jumping over barriers and throwing things.

At anyone close or near me, tryin' to approach me physically
Anyone who tries to get too close to me will be met with physical resistance.

'Cause he don't spit lyrically
Someone who can't write good rap lyrics is not a challenge to me.

And he knows that my flow's so sick, his ho's on my dick
My rap skills are so impressive that even the women who belong to my competition are attracted to me.

And he's so sick of hearin' me, my posters are starin' at him
My rival is tired of hearing me talk about my skills and accomplishments, even to the point where merchandise featuring my image seems to mock him.

But I don't think he knows the severity
My competitor does not seem to understand how serious I am about this.

Of what it could escalate to or that it could grow so seriously
Things could potentially turn violent or more intense than he thinks.

If I go hysterically, 'cause I guarantee
If I end up losing control and reacting in an extreme way, it will be because someone has really crossed me.

There's no one in here that would resort back to childhood
If someone pushes me too far, I am capable of acting out like a child or getting into a childish fight.

Any quicker than I would, or hit you with plywood
There is no one who can fight harder or more intensely than I can, including using a weapon such as a wooden board.

Especially when I'm sippin' on this liquor and tonic
If I am drinking alcohol, I may be even more prone to violent outbursts or irrational behavior.

One swig of this bottle I'ma go upside your head so hard with it
If someone tries to mess with me while I am drinking, I may use the bottle as a weapon against them.

The mark from it'll be so dark that it'll leave a scar so big
The resulting injury from my attack will be so severe that it will leave a permanent mark on my opponent.

You'll be able to read a label from the motherfuckin'
The injury will be so bad that the label on the bottle will be imprinted on the victim's skin.

Sticker that's on it, I'm sick of the nonsense
I am tired of people acting tough or trying to start drama with me.

Shit is ridiculous and I refuse to let it get to this point
I will not let things escalate to a point where violence becomes necessary.

Where I'ma let you sit on my conscience
I do not want to feel burdened by hurting or injuring someone because of their disrespect towards me.

I'm gone, bitch (yeah)
I am done with this situation and I am leaving.

Shady Records, motherfucker, we gone, bitch
Everyone associated with my record label is leaving this situation behind.

I said we gone, bitch, so long, bitch
We are leaving and never looking back.

Catch up if you can (woo), we movin' on, bitch (oh)
If anyone wants to try and compete with us, they'll have to try and keep up with our incredible success and momentum.

Now who you know been to Kyoto, Tokyo
I am highlighting the fact that one of my collaborators has traveled, gained worldly experience and is accomplished in the rap game.

Off of one debut, screamin', "I'm in Janai yo!"?
Despite being new to the scene, my collaborator made an impact in Japan with his first album.

Obie Trice, showed you right
Obie Trice has proven to be a talented and trustworthy artist.

He done seen overseas, he's not a prototype (nah)
Obie Trice has traveled the world and isn't just a copycat of other rappers.

Nobody's protégé, Em only showed O the way
While I did help guide and mentor Obie Trice, he has his own unique style and we are not a copy of one another.

Fuck what the media say
I don't care about what the media thinks of us or our music.

If you listen to music then you should know that O Trice fused it
Anyone who appreciates music will understand and appreciate Obie Trice's unique style and sound.

In a matter where he speaks how the streets views it
Obie Trice raps about his experiences and perspectives on the streets.

Choose, to translate it through the art of music
Obie Trice expresses his thoughts and feelings through his music.

And started using it reachin' the youth
Obie Trice is inspiring and influencing younger generations with his music and experiences.

Influenced by the truth in it (truth)
Obie Trice takes inspiration from real life experiences and expresses the truth through his music.

And as a boy, a man, I ran from boys in vans
Growing up, I was forced to run away from dangerous situations involving strangers in vans.

Do the knowledge, acknowledge and try to comprehend
I am urging others to understand and learn from my past experiences.

Hand full of contraband
I have had experience with illegal substances or items.

A product of my environment, narcotics and violence
My upbringing and environment exposed me to drugs and violence.

Inspires the content, but my intent is
Even if my music talks about my past experiences with drugs and violence, my true goal is to inspire and help others overcome those issues.

To retire these tired-ass writers in silence (yeah)
I am confident that my talents are greater than other writers, and it's time for them to retire and step aside.

'Cause haters, they hate us 'cause Shady became famous
Jealousy and hatred towards our success is the reason why some people dislike us.

And claimed the rap game when they thought he'd be nameless (hah)
It's satisfying to see how much we have achieved in the rap game, especially since some people thought I would never gain success.

But racist accusations won't change us
We won't be brought down by false accusations of racism.

Let the truth be told, you think O will be over here
The truth is that Obie Trice won't be seen trying to beg for approval or acceptance from anyone.

Like, "Massa, show them you got soul" (Massa)
Obie Trice won't try to bow down and kiss up to anyone who thinks they have power over him.

No, anybody knows us knows that's not how we roll
We won't compromise our values or beliefs just to appease others.

So, I still push the bucket
Despite our success, we remain humble and still hustle and work hard.

If I ain't trust it I wouldn't fuck with it
I don't take unnecessary risks and only get involved with things I believe are worth it.

But fuck it, I'm gone bitch!
Even though we are content with our success, we are ready to leave any drama or negative energy behind and move on to bigger and better things.
