Gone ft. Consequence & Cam'ron
Kanye West Lyrics

But it's too late, it's too late
There is no turning back now, it is too late to change things

He gone
He has left or gone away

You sweat her, and I ain't talkin' 'bout a Coogi
You obsess over her, and I'm not just referring to a brand of clothing

You a big L, and I ain't talkin 'bout Cool J
You are a big loss, and I'm not referring to the rapper Cool J

See me at the airport, at least 20 Louis
You can see me at the airport with at least 20 Louis Vuitton bags

Treat me like the Prince and this my sweet brother Numpsay
Treat me like royalty, and this person here is my close associate

Brother Numpsay! Groupies sound too choosy
Hey, Brother Numpsay! The fans or groupies are being too picky

Take 'em to the show and talk all through the movies
Take them to the concert but they just talk through the movies

Says she want diamonds, I took her to Ruby Tuesdays
She says she wants expensive jewelry, but I took her to a casual restaurant called Ruby Tuesdays

If we up in Friday's, I still have it my way
Even if we are at a casual restaurant like Friday's, I still have things my way

Too late, we gone, we strivin' home
It is too late, we have left, and we are heading home with determination

Gone, we ride on chrome
We have left and are driving in a car with chrome rims

Y'all don't want no prob from me
You all do not want any problems with me

What you rappers could get is a job from me
Instead of rapping, you could get a job from me

Maybe you could be my intern, and in turn
Perhaps you could work for me as an intern, and in return

I'll show you how I cook up summer, in the winter
I will teach you how to achieve success or create a buzz even during the off-season

Aaron love the raw dog, when will he learn
Aaron loves to take risks without protection, when will he understand the consequences

Caught somethin' on the Usher tour he had to 'Let it Burn'
He caught a sexually transmitted disease while on tour with Usher, he had to deal with the consequences

Plus he already got three chil'run
In addition, he already has three children

Arguin' over babysitters like, 'Bitch, it's yo' turn!'
Fighting over who should take care of the kids like, 'Hey, it's your turn!'

Damn 'Ye, it'd be stupid to ditch you
Damn, Kanye, it would be foolish to abandon you

Even your superficial raps is super official
Even your songs that may seem shallow are incredibly authoritative or legitimate

Are-are-are-Roc pastel with Gucci on
I am wearing Roc-A-Fella clothing in pastel colors along with Gucci accessories

With TV's in the ride, throw a movie on
With televisions in the car, let's play a movie

Said he couldn't rap now he at the top with doobie long
He said he couldn't rap, but now he is at the top with success that continues on

Cause the dookie's on any song that they threw me on, gone
Because I excel on any song that they put me on, I have moved on

We strivin home, gone
We are striving to reach home, we have left

I ride on chrome
I drive in a car with chrome rims

We strivin' home, gone
We are striving to reach home, we have gone away

Killa, I ride on chrome
I, Killa, drive in a car with chrome rims

Knock knock, who's there
Someone is knocking, who is it

Killa Cam, Killa who
It's me, Killa Cam, who are you referring to

Killa Cam, hustler, grinder, gorilla true
Killa Cam, a hustler, hard worker, a true beast

Oh my chinchilla blue, blue you ever dealt with a dealer
Oh my, my chinchilla fur coat is blue, have you ever dealt with a drug dealer

Well here's the deal ma we goin' to the dealer
Well, here's the plan, we are going to meet the drug dealer

No concealin', no ceiling I don't need a roof
No hiding, no limits, I don't need a roof

Act up, get out, I don't need you poof
If you misbehave, get out, I don't need you, vanish

Poof, be gone, damn tough luck dag
Disappear, leave, damn it's unfortunate, God

Dag, niggas still doin' puff puff pass
Damn, people are still smoking and passing the joint

Pull the truck up fast and I tell 'em
Park the truck quickly and I tell them

Hey, back in a touched up Jag, shit
Hey, return in a refurbished Jaguar, whoa

Y'all niggas want Killa Cam, cerebellum
You all want Killa Cam, his brain or intelligence

An old man just goin' tell 'em (Too late, he, gone)
An old man is just going to inform them that it's too late, he has already left

Then I see how y'all gonna react when I'm (Gone)
Then I can see how you all will respond when I am no longer here

My last girl want me back then I'm on
My ex-girlfriend wants me back, but I have moved on

Fine stay, you got the grind hey
Fine, stay if you want to, but I have my own path and hustle

Came back, read what the sign say (Too late, he, gone)
Returned, read what the sign says, it's too late, I have already left

Yes I know you want to see my demise
I know you want to witness or experience my downfall

Yeah you church boy actin' like a thief in disguise
Yes, you act pious or religious, but you are actually deceitful like a thief

Ain't leavin' my side, see the greed in my eyes
You are not abandoning or separating from me, you can see the greed in my eyes

Ask Abby y'all hustle for a week to the Chi, shit
Ask Abby how you all work hard for a week in Chicago, damn

And that ain't leavin' alive, please believe me
And that is not leaving here alive, please trust me

Gave Weezy a piece of the pie, and
Gave Lil Wayne a portion of the profit or success, and

You can ask George or Regina
You can ask George or Regina for confirmation

The whole Westside I explore with the Beemer now
I am now exploring the entire Westside with my BMW car

Listen homeboy move on
Listen, my friend, it's time to move forward

That's your best bet, why's that
That is your smartest option, why do you ask

Cause
Because

I been pourin' out some liquor for the fact that my pal's gone
I have been mourning the fact that my friend is no longer here

And tryin' to help his momma with the fact that her child gone
And I have been trying to support his mother in coping with the loss of her child

And since we used to bubble like a tub full of Calgon
And since we used to have success and excitement like a bathtub full of Calgon bubble bath

Guess it's only right that I should help her from now on
I suppose it is only fair that I should assist her from now on

But since they got a foul on, what coulda' gone wrong
But since they have encountered a problem or issue, what could have gone wrong

Now they askin' Cons, how long has this gone on
Now they are asking Cons, how long has this situation been happening

And maybe all this money mighta' gone to my head
And perhaps all this money has affected my judgment or ego

Cause they got me thinkin' money mighta' gone to the feds
Because they have made me believe that my money may have attracted the attention of law enforcement

So I ain't goin' to the dread, but he'll go on up to bed
So I am not going to use drugs, but my friend will go to sleep

And when I came the next mornin' he was gone with my bread
And when I woke up the next morning, he had taken my money and left

And with that bein' said, I had gone on my instincts
And with that being said, I had relied on my intuition or gut feeling

And gone to the spots where they go to get mixed drinks
And went to the places where people go to get alcoholic beverages

But lookin' back now shoulda' gone to the crib
But looking back now, I should have gone home

And rented 'Gone With the Wind,' cause I'da gone about 10
And rented the movie 'Gone With the Wind,' because I would have stayed there for about 10 minutes

But I had gone with my friend, and we had gone to the bar
But I went with my friend, and we went to the bar

And heard a nigga talkin shit so I had gone to the car
And overheard someone talking disrespectfully, so I went to my car

And now the judge is tellin' me that I had gone too far
And now the judge is telling me that I had crossed the line or taken things too far

And now we gone for 20 years, doin' time behind bars
And now we are sentenced to 20 years, serving time in prison

And since I gone to a cell for some petty crimes
And since I ended up in a prison cell for some minor offenses

I guess I gone to the well one too many times, cause I'm gone
I suppose I have relied on my luck or resources too many times, because now I am gone

I'm
I am

Ahead of my time, sometimes years out
I am ahead of my time, sometimes years ahead of everyone else

So the powers that be won't let me get my ideas out
So the people in power do not allow me to express or share my ideas

And that make me want to get my advance out
And that makes me want to take my advance payment

And move to Oklahoma and just live at my Aunt's house
And relocate to Oklahoma where I can live with my Aunt

Yeah, I romance the thought of leavin' it all behind
Yeah, I am captivated by the idea of leaving everything behind

Kanye step away from the limelight, like, when I was on the grind
Kanye, step away from the spotlight, like I did when I was working hard to succeed

In the 'One, Nine, Nine, Nine'
In the year 1999

Before, model chicks was bendin' over or
Before, female models were willing to compromise or do whatever

Dealerships asked me Benz or Rover, man
Car dealerships offered me options between a Mercedes-Benz or a Land Rover, man

If I could just get one beat on Hova
If I could just produce one song for Jay-Z

We could get up off this cheap-ass sofa
We could move to a better living situation from this low-quality couch

What the summer of the Chi got to offer an 18 year old
What does the summer in Chicago have to offer an 18-year-old

Sell drugs or get a job, you gotta play gyro
Should I sell drugs or get a regular job, you have to make money either way

My dog worked at Taco Bell, hooked us up plural-fied
My friend worked at Taco Bell and gave us free food or special treatment

A week later the manager count the churros
A week later, the manager realized some churros were missing

Sometimes I can't believe it when I look up in the mirror
Sometimes I can't believe what I see when I look in the mirror

How we out in Europe, spendin' Euros
How we are traveling in Europe, spending the Euro currency

They claim you never know what you got 'til it's gone
They say you never appreciate something until you no longer have it

I know I got it, I don't know what y'all on
I know I have it, but I don't understand what you all are thinking or doing

I'ma open up a store for aspiring MC's
I am going to open a store for aspiring rappers

Won't sell 'em no dream, but the inspiration is free
I won't sell them false hope, but I will provide free inspiration

But if they ever flip sides like Anakin
But if they ever switch sides like Anakin Skywalker

You'll sell everything includin' the mannequin
You will sell everything, even the mannequin used for display

They got a new bitch now you Jennifer Aniston
They have a new partner now, you are like Jennifer Aniston (irrelevant or replaced)

Hold on I'll handle it, don't start panickin', stay calm
Wait, I will take care of it, don't start panicking, remain calm

Shorty's at the door cause they need more
Shorty is at the door because they need more inspiration or guidance

Inspiration for they life, they souls, and they songs
Inspiration for their lives, their souls, and their songs

They said sorry Mr. West is gone
They said sorry, Mr. West has left or is no longer here
