Lupe Fiasco Go To Sleep (Full + Lyrics) (Explicit) Coming Off "Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album"
Lyrics:
[Intro: Lupe Fiasco]
yaawn -- Thanks,
Feels good wakin' up,
Get back... on my J.O.
ooohh,
And you will be going, cause I gotta go to work
It's coo...
Verse 1]
I wipe the cold from my eye
Stationed in Antarctica; coldest nigga alive
Flow is Armageddon, might smite crows from the sky
Before you drive you have to wipe locusts off your rides
But i'm warming up, oceans is on the rise
I be Ocean with 11 associates on my side
Colder than Chris Martin guitaring
Would you look at all these spies
But they can't see me, I took out their eyes
Replace with some he's, so all they see is eee's
But I will never run, not even if they cry
See I can never fall, not even down their cheek
But I will always bawl, let's see who the first to blink
And I don't need no passwords cause I don't need to cheat
But you can say your last words
And you can rest in peace
I'm the hook after your last verse I'm also like the beat
But I will turn it down so you can go to sleep
[Hook]
So you can go to sleep
Yes, you can to sleep
Good night, good night
Official niggas on they job
And you know we gotta ball
Good night, good night
Real niggas pop it all
Phony niggas not at all
[Verse 2]
Official niggas at they job and you know we gonna ball
Niggas popping off for the niggas nodding off
Insomniac since way back, see this is what I been like
Baking eggs and pancakes, eating that at midnight
Getting up and going hard, I don't need no Enzyte
Come across as very calm: mental status is Zen-like
Always had a lot of heart, never been the tin type
Never will I drop a dime, never been the 10 type
My girlfriend is very fine, yes she is a ten right
Mink is draggin' on the flo', fire in my windpipe
You should come and clean up after the riots that I incite
Things get off the handle, left behind a landfill
Traffic at a standstill, stadium is fan-filled
Fill this bitch up with fans you still won't blow my candle out
My "can do" spirit's in the house and is possessing your possessions
Did you hear it by the couch?
Boogieman under your bed, not in your closet
Cause I'm not a homo
Won't drill no door hole
I won't make a peep, so you can go to sleep
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I wipe the cold from my eye
Then put it in my stove and hope that my dough rise
And then my clothes dry, but I am so high
I am sitting on the storm that I got soaked by
Now you can come closer, you can get warm but you get no pie
But you can sell it for em so here's you bow tie
Now get ready to fall cause humans don't fly
The boy in the balloon - see? I didn't go hide
And I'm coming back to float again
Close down all the opium but I had to O-P-EN
They said they need a hero in it so I'm back to dope again
Pull up in that old-school Flintstone drop on rolling pins
Time is all behind me, this make me feel old again
Grandma's all around me, I can feel her soul within
Hope my daddy over him; woke the roosters, woke the hens
Everything's cashmere, count the sheep that you...
Who’s here after watching documentary “what happens to lupe”
BBoySmurf meeeeee
Imma huge Lupe fan and somehow I missed this one. Glad I watch that what happened to vid
🙋♂️
Not after I went after Quake told me to go 😂😂
Definitely had to come check this out after the documentary.
Diverse Mentality got me here
he made me revisit this track, one of my favs
Same what a fucking tune!
I literally did what he said and will return to his “what happened to” afterwards.
Same Here
Yep
Hate that this song isn't on spotify. Always been one of my favorites of Lupe's
anappyboi11 this song & we on ft gemi
I was just thinking this !
Top 5 Lupe track
I used to crazy for this track, the amount of literary devices he used effortlessly is insane
It was added November 2023 by the way 😊
lupe telling his "preformance self" to go to sleep is still one of the best pieces of literature ever written , the layers this song has is actually mind blowing, 100 yrs from now they're going to be studying this man like a prophet
If talk is cheap, then my silence is diamonds. Epic Lupe.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Here because of diverse mentality lol
“Always had a lot of heart, never been the Tin type.”
The level Lupe's on in this song is absolutely untouched by any rapper in the last 5 years.
15 years my guy
"before you drive you have to wipe locusts off of your rides, but im warmin' up, oceans is on the rise" Don't sleep on Lupe, he's hittin' on top priority issues.
Best rapper
2022 and this is still hard af
And I thought I was a LUPE fan 🤦🏾♂️ I slept on the real music from him.
You need to search for his mixtapes...crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not even a big lupe fan and I knew about this in 2010
1ZosoLZ Congrats
"Close down all the opium but I had to O-P-EN" "They said they need a hero in it so I'm back to dope again" DAMN it YES! Lupe is a damn beast.
Marcus Alan Cherry dude literally opened the word open
hero in it (heroin)
You missed the hero-in (heroin) part.
That bar is sooooo crazy !!!!!!!!!!
"I wipe the coal from my eyes and put it in my stove and hope the dough rise" -- so many meanings , Thank You Lupe! from a fan...
Too real!!
Soooooo deep
Chills and goosebumps
Can someone explain that line? I feel dumb lol
@@ivanpeters2374 Oh nice! He has so much wordplay! Thanks.
Is this anybody else's favorite hip hop song? Once I listened to the lyric breakdown of this, I was sold.
Yep. Same here. This song is rap art.
It's hard to choose for me. My top 5 consists of this song, failure, Manilla, put you on game and the coolest. The top 5 most artistic songs I've ever listened to.
I listen to this at least once a month still. Don't care how old it is Lupe killed this shit, brought back to life, gave warning he was gonna kill it again and made the beat commit suicide.
This beat exhudes greatness
persona 1: hey you know lupe fiasco right? person 2: oh yeah the show goes on? person 1: oh.....nevermind......you don't know lupe
Person that doesn't even know: So what's your favorite Lupe album? Me: Friend of the People (I Fight Evil) Person that doesn't even know: Wha? Me: What?
JakePyre that’s a Mixtape though. Not an album
@@JakePyre that's a mixtape bruh
You mean that modest mouse song? Hahaha
after listening to the song and reading the lyrics over and over again i realized how lyical this song is. Lupe has always been my favorite artist and he is so metaphorical and this song is Lupe as his best. He describes all the corruption gong on in the world while being so imaginitive and creative. I love it!
Makes me happy people still listen to Lupe :)
Still bumping in 2020
Whenever anybody doubts Lupe on any level, I show them THIS song. Mural and Dumb it Down are contenders, but they may fly over some people's heads. This however, THIS, is the apotheosis of word play and lyricism.
I know of this song from being an avid Lu fan and during the era when we was dying for that LupEND he was letting loosies off. Listen to Lupes mixtapes too man hes got gems
Go to sleep, prolly one of his hardest songs to crack lol
Had this on my MySpace
keystone and most underrated lupe song, lupes my most respected rapper, but I feel like he was confused, never really stuck to a single flow, this was where it was at imo.
Not sticking to a flow is what separates the great rappers!!!!! Being able to switch flows is incredible!!!! Listen to the cool and tell me every song didn’t have a different flow!!!!
coalest nniga alive G🎧🔥🔥
Go to sleep. He’s woke.
I never thought it had kid cudi feel until you mentioned it. it does, but it's good. there are about 5 or 6 songs i like on the new album, but his lyrics are deep as hell and amazing.
Kid Cudi is a boss, Lupe Fiasco is a boss.
This song is so good! Keeps me happy and calm!
The view is so low for that kinda song.I dont know what happened to peoples taste of music these days.
aka648 because it wasn't advertised it was leaked n it's an old song lol calm down
Lupe really let go of himself on LASERS, but that was expected by all of us. This one really puts it him back in perspective for me. This isn't pop shit that was written by record companies, this is Lupe Fiasco. This is the Lupe Fiasco we're getting back now that there's no more Atlantic in the picture. This is the Lupe Fiasco we're going to see and Food and Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album. One last fiasco, and surely a masterpiece.
11 years later, what do you think about your comment,?
@@chirex5014Lmaooo word… def didn’t play out how any of us imagined
"im the hook after your last verse, im also like the beat, so i will turn it down, so you can go to sleep"!!!!!.............damn
Still here 2019🤟🏾💯
Lupe Fiasco = The results of a young man having a strong father figure who is educated in his life.
I GOT CHILLS THRU THE WHOLE SONG
lupe should be in GOOD music. he's so good.
all the way LEFT!!! I use to play this to put my kids to sleep every night!!!
S.L.R. 84 FaCtz
Such a underrated song
Diverse mentality told me to come here, I'm thankful 🔥
Truly one the best yet underrated 🙌
Some people are still sleeping on this in 2020
Here from Diverse Mentality 🔥🤯
same here
Classic underrated
Wow smh smh forgot about this shit, prime Lu
this a gem
In love with this song!
so happy this gettin a proper release
Nostalga to the max with this one
Correction: I took out their eyes ("I's) replaced em with some "me's", so all they see is me, but I will never run, not even if they cry.." Lupe is the eye. That's why he'll never run, or why he "ball (eye) / bawl"
feelings good waking up to my Lupe!
this songgg
is that you in the avatar?
yes
love this song
Whoelse agrees that Lupe's songs have one of the best Hooks😎
Metaphorically Genius! Chi-Town is proud to call you one of the best MC's out of our city and in the world.
Every time I listen to this it gets better.
This is soo dope nostalgic at its best.
how is this not a worldwide hit, bloody radio
this is the best lupe song and i like most of them
Oh wow. I love it.
Just look at them metaphors [extended], wordplays and religious references in first verse... goat lyricist.
I was literally instructed to pause a video and come bump this... 🦯
The best.
Whoever said he needs to spit this to a different beat ,you are crazy. This beat fits him so well, it sets the mood of the song. hell I almost napped until the the dragon blew fire.....
lupe for president
Yes Lupe has less views , less net worth , less mainstreaming close to none nowadays! But all this just because he is free now , free from all Atlantics shit and other slavery records companies , he is free he spits what his intelligent mind tells him to , So you can just fucking enjoy , Learn and grow ! Respect Lupe !!
Colder than Chris Martin guitaring... Smh
This one of my favorite song by Lupe true tells of I am legend
Elite 🔥
Amazing lupe is god himself sent to show the world what its been missing this whole time
Happy memories.. happy days
Who listened to this song back in 2010 like me
Still listening on 2019
I remember this song from listening to my Lupe Mix and i liked it as well. Lupes one of my fav's, it's crazy he went through this with the label, very unfortunate.
Damn this and Lamborghini Angels are amazing. F&L2 - album of the year.
I’m the hook after your last verse I’m also like the beat but I will turn it down so you can go to sleep🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LUPE!!!!
GOAT.
The instrumental is cool. Big chords and harmonising.
Its sad that lupe isnt doing any raps anymore. Havnt heard this lyrically since 2010
I wish i made this beat smh, this song is super dope and well produced.
did anybody else buy the deluxe Lasers that had this, Shining Down and I'm Beaming on it? I did, and when I synced my new laptop to my iTunes it wasn't there anymore! So pissed, this song is FIRE! That middle verse is crack on crack
oh shit i just listened to the second verse HOT DAMN i cant bare anymore
This is always the last song I listen to before I sleep =P
ffs wow that first verse just ended me right there. i cant even listen anymore it was that good
I'm here because of A diverse mentality channel
Kid cudi is pretty damn good though... him and lupe are my favorite artist of modern music.
This dude is the GOAT. But it came on the regular too
I was wondering what album this was on, pretty old song to be on f&l2 but probably one of my favorite lupe songs, flows so well. Lupe is one of the best out there.
ryan Bresnahan it was suppose to be but it go leaked real early
im loving the coldplay reference in this
💯🔥👑
this song is actually like on a entirely different level high
Food and Liquor 2 will be the greatest Album of all time
Correction: but they can't see me I took out their eyes replaced it some knees so all they see is knees but I will never run not even if they cry
Finally! but a quick question... F&L II: The Great American Rap Album or LASERS? Which is coming out first or did he just change the name of the album again?
#1 with the pen
same
@MTWENTY its amazing how much figures of speech he uses in one verse haha
