ReplyDeleteI wipe the coal/cold from my eye
Stationed in Antarctica,coldest nigga alive.
Flow is Armageddon might smite crews/crows/Cruise? 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 guitarin'- would look at all these Spies?
But they can't see me, I took out their eyes/I's.
Replace with some me's, so all they see is he's.
But I/eye will never run, not even if they cry.
See I can never fall, not even down their cheek.
But I will always ball/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.
You can go to sleep
Said you can go to sleep
Now you can go to sleep
Said you can go to sleep
Good night, good night
Good night, good night
Real niggas up again
Yes, you can go to sleep
Said you can go to sleep
Now you can go to sleep
Said you can go to sleep
Good night, good night
Good night, good night
Official niggas on the job and
you know we gonna ball.
Real niggas poppin off, phony niggas noddin off.
Sunglasses? Way back?
See this what I been like.
Bacon, eggs and pancakes.
Eating that at midnight.
Getting up and going hard.
I don't need no Enzyte?
Come across as very car?
Mental state is zen-like.
Always had a lot of heart, never been the tin-type. (Tin Man from Oz)
Never will I drop a dime, never be the tin-type.
My girlfriend is very fine, yeah she is a ten right?
??? Dragon on the flow/floor fire in my windpipe.
You should come and clean up after the riots that I incite.
Things are off the handle, left behind a landfill.
Traffic at a standstill.
Stadium is fan-filled.
Fellas get your fans you still won't blow my candle-
Out. My candle spirit's in the house.
And its possessing your possessions, did you hear it by the couch?
Boogeyman under here but not in your closet cause I'm not a [fag?].
[He kind of spaz here so I need some help]
You can go to sleep

I wipe the coal/cold from my eye and then put it in my stove and hope my dough rise.
And then my clothes dry, but I am so high I'm sitting on the storm that I got soaked by.
Now you can close so you can get warm, but you get no pie but you can sell them for'em.
So here's your bowtie, now get ready to fall cause humans don't fly.
The boy in the balloon.
See I didn't go high now I'm coming back to float again.
??? I'm opium.
But I had to open, they said they need a hero and if 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, I can feel her soul within.
Hope my daddy over him, ???.
Everything is cashmere so count the sheep so you can...
Go to Sleep.
Help is always welcome!!!
verse 2 starts out with insomniac
ReplyDeleteDopest Line:
ReplyDelete"Flow sound hard like opium, but I had to OPM(?)
And they said they need a hero in it (heroin) so I had to dope again"
The entire 3rd verse is about dope.. he's talkin bout selling pies and stuff and he says all that stuff about being so high that he's sitting on a storm and human's thinking they can fly.. Lupe is back on his gangsta "drug shit" again and when he was at his best he was flippin all the drug metaphor's.. so i think the old classic Lu is comin back!
I thought he was talking about cooking dope.... who else but Lu else?
ReplyDeleteya he's talkin bout cookin dope too but he says "But you get no pie but you can sell em for'em". I'm not saying that Lu is saying he is selling dope himself i'm saying he's talking about selling it
ReplyDeleteVerse 1:
ReplyDeleteI wipe the cold from my eye

ReplyDeleteDear lupe,
ReplyDeleteWhen recording songs for your F&L pt.2 album... please cont. with the STYLE of flow that you left off as well as the PROFOUND content of your lyrics...
P.S. a SEQUEL must be just as GOOD or BETTER than the 1st one... I would greatly appreciate this!
Thank you...
from a FAN that is tryin hard NOT to lose INTEREST in you...
cdq clean!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.waterblocknyc.com/2010/08/new-music-lupe-fiasco-go-to-sleep.html
There's a CDQ clean out at http://usershare.net/8z5uf0iyc6k0
ReplyDelete(Y)
close down all that opium, but I had to o-p-e-n????
ReplyDeleteA thought. Not sure.
Shake from 2dopeboyz claims to have the cdq in his email,,yet hes not posting it,,theres like a lupe protest going on within the blogs on the site...lol
ReplyDeleteclosed down all the opium so i had to OPN?
ReplyDeletegoogled OPN, got "ora pro nobis (pray for us)" ??
^^^^ replace "so" with "but"
ReplyDeleteso freshhhh
ReplyDeleteFirst, I hope that this is relased on iTunes Tuesday. We have seen the artwork, and heard the finished product, so let's hope that all the Lupe, Busy, and Atlantic tweets mean that we are going to get more than a radio drop.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I hope this is on Lasers. I know all the tags say F&L 2, and we have seen the tweets about F&L 2, but this has a Lasers sound, and I really don't understand the whole premiering a song that's supposed to be on an album released after an album that hasn't been released yet.
Third, I hope we get some info from Lupe or Atlantic, but something more than a one sentence tweet. It has been like a year now and we want answers. There has to be some communication going on between them, and I want to know what's going on. Do an interview or ustream or something, but we want answers.
Fourth, I really hope Lasers does not get shelved that would be the biggest mistake ever.
Just hopes.
Is this supposed to be a single? Not saying it is a better song, but I'm Beamin has more of a radio sound than Go To Sleep. What's going on?
ReplyDelete^im beaming is from "lasers"
ReplyDeletego to sleep is from "food and liqour 2"
I merged the lyrics cuz i saw one had some the other didnt so by puting them together i think its a pretty correct lyrics list

ReplyDelete"Boogeyman under your bed not in the closet 'cause I'm not a homo"
ReplyDeleteWow, is this what it has come down to, Wasalu? I love the song and all, but from all the rappers, I would have NEVER expected such a low line from you. Like, it's not even average.
And again, he abuses the "hand-ill (handle)", "draggin'(dragon)", and the "eye(I)"-like entendres in this song. It has certainly become his trademark.
Now I'm positive F&L Lupe will never come back. Which is not precisely bad per se, but personally disappointing.
arghhh stop being pussies he didnt say ANYTHING bad or derogatory towards gays he just said hes not one
ReplyDeletegeez people sooo sensitive these days they make something out of nonthing
Yo did we forget about the petition lasers
ReplyDelete^^^
ReplyDeleteno, i signed it like 5 times.
@Lawfer and @Antoine seriously calm down. most gay guys aren't that sensitive.
ReplyDelete^Cosign dude. So much truth.
ReplyDeletePut down the Glenn Beck, anonymous 2:22am.
ReplyDeleteAre you really getting hurt over a line about gays from Lupe?
ReplyDeleteyou know how many time I heard Lupe say "Nigga"
last time I checked that was a form of the racial slur "Nigger", a word used to bring down African slaves since the early 1600s. So if you claim to be losing respect (or whatever point your trying to make) from Lupe cause of a line thats probably not even offensive to most gays than your probably just looking for negative attention.
*for
ReplyDelete"they need a hero(in) it so I'm back to dope again"
ReplyDeletewoooowww
personally i could care less what lupe thinks of homosexuality.. that doesnt reflect on him as a rapper and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. i do care, however, whether or not he puts some thought into how he expresses himself.. and honestly you cant say that that was one of his best lines.
ReplyDeleteremember how he used to address his political/social views on F&L/the cool? seems like hes caring too much about maintaining his rhyme scheme and not enough about the content.
hey Lawfer who are your favorite rap artists?
ReplyDeleteloving the tune....thou not expecting the No homo thing from lupe... but sick tune
ReplyDeletedid they change the name from lasers to food and liquor 2? if they did, that's lame...
ReplyDeleteI don't know what Lupe's stance is on homosexuality but it was just shocking to see him use the word. I'm sure as I listen to the song another hundred times I'll get over it, just like I got over him saying "nigga" (I was a sensitive black dude about that too).
ReplyDeleteUltimately I'm more concern with Lupe trying to hold to a rhyme scheme and less to content as an anonymous commenter mentioned earlier.
And to the other anonymous commenter that says you don't have to accept people they way they are, you are a completely right. That same token goes vice versa. Lawfer and I don't have to enjoy or accept a line like that from Lupe. We also have the right to simply say "hey what we are hearing doesn't sound that cool." I also think a of you (who I'm realizing are mostly anonymous) were beginning to make personal attacks to our sensitivities when, at least for me, I was just pointing out my discontent with the line. I certainly never said, and hopefully never inferred, that "I only listen to rappers that don't insult anybody." Just as you said, our first amendment protects our freedom of speech (and petition, lol). This is why the KKK can publicaly hold a meeting denoucing everyone who is not of the Aryan-nation and advocate "white power."
In any case, Lasers needs to drop and whatever album this song is on needs to come out too.
"Discussion creates intellect."
@ *_*Antoine*_*
ReplyDeleteBUT HOMO is NOT a bad word its shorten from homosexuals which is the proper and politically correct way to decribe gays so way be shocked that he said homo when
1. its not a bad word
and
2. you just said it yourself
faggot is a bad word to gays not homo
thats like getting mad at a white rapper cuz he said african american
^You are absolutely correct. And also saved me the trouble of explaining myself. And for that I thank you!
ReplyDeleteBut one last little thing though:
I am not gay, neither have gay friends/family members nor I am personally offended by the line. It is just that the line is CHEAP for an artist of Lupe's caliber. The line in itself has no purpose to the song, the reason it bothers me is the fact that he used it not to add a meaning to the stanza, but to simply rhyme. It was simply a very poor choice of words.
Alternatively, I'm not making a big deal about it either, I initially stated I really liked the song overall. So no need to get offended with your defensive asses. (See what I did there?)
And lastly, I'm immune to trolls; I've been in the Internet for far too long. So neither your arguments nor insults to my opinion, will detach the truthfulness of my words.
Cheers!
at the end of the day Lupe is a RAPPER..not a politician or a Revelutionary or whatever so why do people complain when he doesn't have some kind of message?!??!!?! cant he just flex his skills as RAPPER......some of u fans really confuse me
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I think he's merely saying that he's out of the closet in the sense of he is in the open and less about him not being gay.
ReplyDeleteIt's really interesting stuff. thanks for all sharing great info here.
