Lupe Fiasco - Go To Sleep Lyrics






[Intro:]
[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 guitarin' - would you look at all these Spies?
But they can't see me, I took out their eyes
Replaced them with some me's, so all they see is he'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 ball, 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 then 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

[Chorus:]
You can go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
Said you can go to sleep [x2]
Good night, good night [x2]
(Real niggas up again)
(Phony niggas tuckin' in)
Now you can go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
Now you can go to sleep [x2]
Good night, good night [x2]
Official niggas on they job and you know we gonna ball
Real niggas poppin off, phony niggas not at all

[Verse 2:]
Insomniac since way back, see that's 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 calm, mental state is Zen like
Always had a lot of heart, never been the tin type
Never will I drop a dime, never been the ten type
My girlfriend is very fine, yeah she is a ten, right?
Mink is dragon on the floor, fire in my windpipe
You should come and clean up after riots that I incite
Things got 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 it's possessing your possessions,
did you hear it by the couch?
Boogeyman under here but not in your closet, cause I'm not a...
Won't drill no door hole, I won't make a peep, so...

[Chorus:]
You can go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
Now you can go to sleep
Said you can go to sleep
Good night, good night [x2]
(Real niggas up again)
(Phony niggas tuckin' in)
Now you can go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
Now you can go to sleep [x2]
Good night, good night [x2]
Official niggas on they job and you know we gonna ball
Real niggas poppin off, phony niggas not at all

[Verse 3:]
I wipe the cold from my eye, then put it in my stove and hope that my dough rise
And that my clothes dry, but I am so high, I'm sitting on the storm that I got soaked by
Now you can come close so, you can get warm
But you get no pie, but you can sell 'em for him so, here's your bow tie
Now get ready to fall, 'cause humans don't fly, the boy in the balloon
See I didn't go high, and then I'm coming back to flow again
Closed out all that 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'
Hold my daddy over him
I woke the rooster's, woke the hen's
Everything's cashmere, count the sheep that make 'em..

[Chorus:]
(You can) go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
Now you can go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
(Go to sleep, it's okay!)
Good night, good night [x2]
(Real niggas up again)
(Phony niggas tuckin' in)
Yes you can go to sleep [x2]
Now you can go to sleep
Yes you can go to sleep
Good night, good night [x2]
Official niggas on they job and you know we gonna ball
Real niggas poppin off, phony niggas not at all
[Fades]

  31. M.... H....

    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.

    M.... H....

    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!!!!

  32. F.... E....

  39. a.... ....

    Um... YES I AM serious. Seriously, have you taken the time to listen to his lyrics?

  53. M.... B....

    8 people need to go to sleep

  54. V.... ....

    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.

  55. T.... A....

    If talk is cheap, then my silence is diamonds.

    Epic Lupe.

  56. r.... B....

    Kid Cudi is a boss, Lupe Fiasco is a boss.

  57. I.... ....

    This dude is the GOAT. But it came on the regular too

  58. G.... ....

    this came out in the deluxe version rigt?

  59. i.... ....

    which this was on the new album

  60. r.... B....

    Kid cudi is pretty damn good though... him and lupe are my favorite artist of modern music.

  61. r.... B....

    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.

    r.... B....

    ryan Bresnahan it was suppose to be but it go leaked real early

  62. M.... ....

    There is no "Illuminati". Wake up.
    Sure there is globalization, but the interconnected nature of our existence isn't the same as the Illuminati. Good Night Good Night

  63. c.... ....

    I wish i made this beat smh, this song is super dope and well produced.

  64. x.... ....

    The level Lupe's on in this song is absolutely untouched by any rapper in the last 5 years.

  65. L.... ....

    you're not serious

  66. T.... ....

    September 25th buddy

  67. N.... G....

    Damn this and Lamborghini Angels are amazing. F&L2 - album of the year.

  68. d.... ....

    so happy this gettin a proper release

  69. P.... T....

    I need some motivation to go to bed.It's 3am here.
    Hopefully I'll have the strenth to wake up tomorrow...:)))

  70. 1.... ....

    september 25

  71. J.... K....

    I hope when lupe goes indie he can release both parts of F&L2 and all three parts of lupE.N.D. I think if I heard those, I would be okay with him retiring.

  72. A.... R....

    Oh wow. I love it.

  73. i.... ....

    Yep it has! 9/25/12! woohoo!

  74. D.... ....

    Mink is draggin (dragon) on the floor, fire in my windpipes

  75. J.... C....

    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

  76. J.... B....

    I wipe the cool from my eyes...

  77. K.... K....

    Derrick Rose.!

  78. F.... ....

    lupend isnt scrapped. that will still be the name of his last album and will still have 3 cds in it but hes jus postponed it indefinitely because of his contract with atlantic and because he may continue with other albums

  79. b.... ....

    Someone should make an instrumental of this song

  80. M.... L....

    Pull up in that old school, Flintstone drop on rolling pins. I feel dumb for not realizing he's talking about the Flintstone's car....

  81. M.... L....

    Wrong. He scrapped LupE.N.D too. F&L2 and one more album has to be done to appease his contract at Atlantic. Then he's released... apparently he's said he wants to go indepedent but I'm hoping GOOD music.

  82. S.... R....

    @sm6697 it says both. Lupe loves ambuiguity

  83. j.... ....

    "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

  84. M.... ....

    @YoohPhuck about the lupe.n.d

  85. M.... ....

    @YoohPhuck Lol i know i was doing some research and thats what i found.

  86. a.... a....

    @MrOreoTv he still hasnt made LupE.N.D..

  87. M.... ....

    I think this is going to be Lupe's last album, i heard some rumors bout that.

  88. D.... B....

    Food and Liquor 2 will be the greatest Album of all time

  89. B.... A....

    Allen iverson ;) :P..Respect

  90. Q.... ....

    Another example why Lupe is so fucking underrated it's ridiculous. We need more rappers like this, what we don't need is more dickheads like Soulja Boy! Somewhere there's a middle-aged, German librarian that's fucking with this!

  91. N.... I....

    Can't wait for F&L II.

  92. s.... ....

    They dont say I wipe the cold from my eye they say "I wipe the cool from my eye"

  93. R.... ....

    Please go back to sounding like this Lupe! I'm stick of this recent shit. =|

  94. N.... ....

    @UniqueBrigadiers What the fucked wrong with you? It's more like 3,000 rappers in one verse. Stop being disrespectful.

  95. c.... ....

    @foodman28 extra lasers
