DMX feat. Eminem & Obie Trice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep, in the dirt
Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
'cause we, are just gonna be, enemies
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
Coming to terms, where we can agree
You speak on my seed, then me, no speak-a ingles
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
And you're gonna see, this gangster beat on himself
I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
We never met, but best believe you gon know me
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
I'm rid of you, all of you, Ja, you'll get it too!
Now go to sleep bitch!
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Go to sleep, bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Die motherfucker die, bye, bye, motherfucker, bye, bye!
Go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? Why, die motherfucker, ah, ah, ah
Go to sleep bitch!
We got you niggaz, nervous
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
When lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
You fuck with a label overseeing the Earth
Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
And as I mold, I become a curse
So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
Depicts fiction in his verse
And as I breathe, and you be deceased
The world believe you deceived just to speak
You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt
Now go to sleep bitch!
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Go to sleep, bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Die motherfucker die, bye, bye, motherfucker, bye, bye!
Go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? Why, die motherfucker, ah, ah, ah
Go to sleep bitch!
Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets
I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
Stalk on the beat, walk wit my feet
Understand my pain, the rain ain't sleet
Peep how I'm moving, peep where I'm going
Shit don't seep, then sleep not knowin
But I'ma keep growing, getting larger than life
Easy-going with the same one that started the fight
He be knowing how dog get, when dog gon bite
Tried to show him the dog shit, it's dog for life
Grand champ, and my Blood Line is tight
'cause it's all good, it's all right
Niggas tried to holla, but couldn't holla back
Now they gots to swallow, everything in the sac
Blood Line, and, we can go track for track
Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that?
Now go to sleep bitch!
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Go to sleep, bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Die motherfucker die, bye, bye, motherfucker, bye, bye!
Go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Why are you still alive? Why, die motherfucker, ah, ah, ah
Go to sleep bitch!
All you motherfuckers, take that!
Here, take this too, bitch! Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Waaaaaahoo
We're killing all you motherfuckers dead, all of you
Fake ass gangsters! No more press! No more press!
Rot, motherfuckers, rot! Decay, in the dirt, bitch, in the motherfucking dirt!
Die nameless, bitch, die nameless! No more fame!
Ahhh! Hahahaha
Yo X, come on man, Obie, let's go, haha
The lyrics of DMX's song Go to Sleep featuring Eminem and Obie Trice highlight revenge against a potential victim. It starts with DMX declaring he would not eat, sleep or breathe until the person he wants to see dead lies in the dirt permanently. He insists that they are enemies that can never come to terms and there would be no reasoning with him as long as they both breathe. He talks about his willingness to settle the issue face-to-face and emphasizes the demon that would be unleashed after the matter. Eminem's verse comes in strongly in support of DMX, narrating how they got them nervous to hurt their focus, that they're not MCs, and that they're worthless. Eminem even goes as far as telling them to die repeatedly, with his rage delivering the song's climax.
The song is full of violent lyrics, and the verses are aggressive. It is almost like a diss track targeted toward a specific person or group. The song has various rhyming patterns, which give it a different approach in each verse. The verses deliver a message of not accepting disrespect and standing up to those who threaten to come against you. The chorus is the most recognizable part, with the phrase "go to sleep, bitch" being repeated several times throughout.
Line by Line Meaning
I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
I won't do anything until I reach my goal
Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
I won't stop until I witness my desire
And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep, in the dirt
I want you dead and buried
Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
You being damaged is not enough, you must die
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Just harming you isn't satisfactory for me
'cause we, are just gonna be, enemies
We'll remain foes
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
We'll never reach an agreement and one of us will die
Coming to terms, where we can agree
We'll never get to a point of compromise
There ain't gonna be, no reasoning, speakin wit me
I won't listen to any logic when it comes to you
You speak on my seed, then me, no speak-a ingles
If you talk about my child, I won't understand any language
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
We'll continue fighting, unless
You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
You'll meet me in person
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
We'll resolve this in person, and you'll witness the result
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
You'll see a side of me you've never witnessed
And you're gonna see, this gangster beat on himself
You'll see me beating myself like a gangster
I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
I appreciate D-12, but I don't need their assistance
Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
I'll handle this alone, I don't need help from my friends
When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
I'm only focused on you when we meet
We never met, but best believe you gon know me
Although we haven't met, you'll get to know me well
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
When I'm near you, and your true nature is revealed
Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Attack me, confront me
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
Grab me and lift me, just as you said you would
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
That's what you promised, but I see you're pathetic
I'm rid of you, all of you, Ja, you'll get it too!
I'll get rid of all of you, Ja Rule, included
Now go to sleep bitch!
Die now
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Die, it's over, close your eyes
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
Why haven't you died yet? How many times do I have to tell you to die?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
Die, now
Why are you still alive? Why, die motherfucker, ah, ah, ah
Why are you still breathing? Die, now
We got you niggaz, nervous
We have you guys scared
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
We're intentionally sabotaging you, you're not real MCs, you're worthless
You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please
You're not gangsters, you're more like a circus, you don't have any talent
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You're done, you use meaningless words that are hard to understand
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
You're pretending, you're not a danger, who are you working for?
When lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
I should demolish you with my words
You fuck with a label overseeing the Earth
You're messing with a major record label
Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
I'm a shady individual, Obie Trice is my protégé
And as I mold, I become a curse
As I influence Obie Trice, I become a negative presence
So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
We can settle this through rap lyrics, or through violence
Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
Pull the trigger, whoever ends up dead
Depicts fiction in his verse
Writes made-up stories in his music
And as I breathe, and you be deceased
As I live on, you'll be dead
The world believe you deceived just to speak
People will see that you lied whenever you spoke
You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
You're not from the streets, you're just a desk worker
Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Don't be brave, protect yourself
Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Before you had a chance to decide, you were already dead
Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt
You'll be buried six feet under
Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets
I'll behave aggressively, like an animal, and use street slang
I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
I'll keep New York hot by using firearms
Stalk on the beat, walk wit my feet
I'll chase my enemies, and use my feet to run
Understand my pain, the rain ain't sleet
Comprehend my struggles, there's a difference between rain and sleet
Peep how I'm moving, peep where I'm going
Watch how I behave and see where I'm headed
Shit don't seep, then sleep not knowin
If you're not careful, you'll be caught off guard
But I'ma keep growing, getting larger than life
Despite the challenges, I'll keep growing, achieving success
Easy-going with the same one that started the fight
I'll remain calm with the same person who initiated the conflict
He be knowing how dog get, when dog gon bite
He knows how I behave, when I'm angry and violent
Tried to show him the dog shit, it's dog for life
I tried to teach him the ways of the 'dog', it's for life
Grand champ, and my Blood Line is tight
I'm the champion, and my family members are loyal to me
'cause it's all good, it's all right
Everything's fine, don't worry
Niggas tried to holla, but couldn't holla back
People tried to interact with me, but I ignored them
Now they gots to swallow, everything in the sac
Now they have to accept everything I say
Blood Line, and, we can go track for track
My family members and I can compete against you, track for track
Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that?
Why did you have to damage those guys?
All you motherfuckers, take that!
All of you will feel my wrath
Here, take this too, bitch! Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Waaaaaahoo
Take this as well, you coward!
We're killing all you motherfuckers dead, all of you
We're destroying all of you
Fake ass gangsters! No more press! No more press!
You're not real gangsters! Don't talk to the media anymore!
Rot, motherfuckers, rot! Decay, in the dirt, bitch, in the motherfucking dirt!
Decay in the dirt, scumbags!
Die nameless, bitch, die nameless! No more fame!
Die unknown, and forget about fame
Ahhh! Hahahaha
Laughing uncontrollably
Yo X, come on man, Obie, let's go, haha
