Wu-Tang Clan - I Can't Go To Sleep Lyrics






[Ghostface Killah:]
The technique is ill son, watch how I spill one
Peace to Biggie, 2Pac, Big L and Big Pun
Havoc on the streets of Staten, snitches
House niggas, children watch as they produce the same pattern
Somebody raped our women, murdered our babies
Hit us with the cracks and guns in the early 80's
For those that murdered me shall stand before God
To fall at the hands of fate, then out comes the rod
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

What the fuck is going on, I can't go to sleep
Feds jumping out their jeeps, I can't go to sleep
Babies with flies on they cheeks, it's hard to go to sleep
Ish bowled two 6's twice, I couldn't go to sleep
Aiyyo we deep in the stairs, we carry big guns
Whippy got hit up with the big shit, bong bong
Stop at the cheeba spot, then pass the leak spot
Drove past y'all niggas again, you took a cheap shot
Not knowing, fucking with me you get your meat chopped
You thought we fell on our face, you need to be stopped
Call on the chariots, call on an ambulance
You better smile, my nigga you on Candid Cam
Gangsta broad, these be the laws, walk with big balls
Nigga, motherfucking eunuch, I even take which was yours
I'm the nigga that made you, man
When your rap wasn't doing well I'm the nigga that gave you a hand

[Isaac Hayes:]
Don't kill your brother, learn to love each other
Don't get mad, cause it ain't that bad
Look at who you are, you've come too far
It's in your hands, just be a man
Get the jelly out your spine
Cobwebs out of your mind

[RZA:]
I can't go to sleep, I can't shut my eyes
They shot the father at his mom's building seven times
They shot Malcolm in the chest, front of his little seeds
Jesse watched as they shot King on the balcony
Exported Marcus Garvey cause he tried to spark us
With the knowledge of ourselves and our forefathers
Oh Jacqueline you heard the rifle shots crackling
Her husband's head in her hands, you tried to put it back in
America's watching, blood-stained ink blotches
Medgar took one to the skull for integrating college
What's the science? Somebody? This is trick knowledge
They try to keep us enslaved and still scrape for dollars
Walking through Park Hill, drunk as a fuck
Looking around like these Devils
I'm ready to break this world down
They got me trapped up in a metal gate
Just stressed out with hate
And just give me no time to relax and use my mind to meditate
What should I do, grab a blunt or a brew
Grab a .22 and run out there and put this fucking violence in you
I can't go to sleep, I can't shut em, son, I..

[Isaac Hayes:]
Don't let the game make you lose your head
You should be calling the shots instead
The power is in your hands
Stop all this crying and be a man

    killing the isaac beat good job WU

  57. T.... J....

    The Wu-Tang Clan is the only rap group whose track's don't sound dated or trapped in a timeline. If it was dope in '93, '94, 95, '96, '97, or early 2000's it still sound's dope and relevant in 2019.

  78. U.... R....

    1000 comment it’s1 I can’t go to sleep

  79. B.... M....

    Imagine DOOM on this track

  80. T.... L....

    Technique is ill son

  81. j.... ....

    Wish they did this one at the concert in Raleigh last wknd..

  82. d.... ....

    This track is so fuckin Ill.

  83. A.... J....

    legit question:
    why is RZA's 2nd line (They shot the Father *at his mom's building* seven times) censored?
    I know what it means (Clarence 13X, Five Percenters) but it can't be on some conspiracy theory level ish, though, right?

  84. J.... S....

    GHOST IS THAT DUDE!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  85. e.... T....

    Just bought Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul today, then I come home and hear this song for the first time, what a coincidence.

  86. J.... ....

    DOOM sampled this Isaac Hayes joint before the Wu on the track ‘Dead Bent’. Both tracks are equally amazing but check out DOOM’s track as well.

  87. s.... ....

    wish i could see them in Raleigh this saturday. Id give anything. My love to them and all the people who know. Lets try to sleep tonight. Lets have sweet dreams and wake up and go forward another day. Everybody. Peace from NC♥

  88. B.... M....

    This that bs where it sounds like Ghost b crying on every joint, LITERALLY got RZA to do it in this song with him..i personally LOVED GFK, I listened to him intently and only saw promise and dominance in his lyrical assault as he destroyed verses MCs everywhere was shook!! I thought he woulda lasted longer with tha grimey gritty N.Y. staircase style! but this?! K>jv: b hoo This I can't even listen to it, not for the lyrics n definitely not for the beat, those went out the window along with his aggressiveness the second he dropped tha whiney ass verse..i personally think this is where his career went south, he fell right tha f$! Off! Raekwon aint never conformed to this (complaining rap style) he STILL HARDER THAN GHOST! #STOPCRYIN #COMPLAININLEVEL1000 #rmft WUTANG4EVER N A DAY DONTGET IT TWISTED!! IF GHOST WAS IN GRAVEDIGGAZ THIS WOULD NEVER HAV HAPPENED

  89. E.... M....

    Tracks like this make me wish I could give more than only one like

  90. b.... f....

    joints

  91. T.... R....

    Hands down best song on the W and one of the clans best ever

  92. G.... W....
