Detox
Dr Dre ft The Game & Jay-Z Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh Dr Dre. Or should I say Dr Gay.
You are very bad man, you diss the wrong motherfucker. You think Osama won't diss you black biaaatch.
[verse 1:]
Things just ain't the same for Osama,
Since the World Trade Bombings,
And the Pentagon got the world calling
The Strangest things can happen to an Afghan
When people get wrapped up in Islam and Allah,
Then some shiteaters fly planes and wreak havoc,
Then go drop the blame on Bin Laden.
Now I got a faggot-ass rapper attacking me
With this gangsta rap, like I'm not gonna battle,
Dr Dre? The man wasn't done shit since NWA
And gave Eazy-E AIDS.
Don't make shoot night on your fat ass,
You homofuck, you ain't the only one goin' platinum.
Osama Bin Laden, keeping it gangsta,
Fuck Dr Dre, I'm the Aftermath.
[Chorus:]
Everywhere that I go ain't the same as before,
People I used to know just don't know me no more
And everywhere that I go, I got people I know,
Who've got people they know, so I suggest you lay low.
[verse 2:]
Oh Dr Dre look at you, you fool
I use your own rap against you, and I'm better.
Lick my balls, til they are dry,
Sorry... come again.
Things just ain't the same for Bin Laden,
This planet hates me more than Michael Jackson,
Hating on the Taliban for keeping me captive,
Threatening to find my little cave and blast it,
Now I've got to worry about this wannabe gansta,
Who pays other rappers to write his wack shit,
Everyone knows that your beats are helped man,
And you'll never blow by yourself man.
Sorry, you'd blow... blow cocks,
Use the hole as a straw and blow sperm out your nostrils.
I don't give a hurried fuck, call Slim Shady,
Snoop Dogg, D.O.C, Wren and Jay-Z,
To write a verse, fuck I'll do it for ya,
You still lick dick, this is Booshu Babara.
Do you know who, do you know what, do you know who?
Let's keep this between me and you.
[Chorus]
Osama...
Osama...
Oooosama...
O-o-o-osama...
Biatch.
The lyrics of the song Detox, featuring Dr Dre, The Game, and Jay-Z, are controversial, provocative, and satirical. The song introduces Eminem as Osama Bin Laden, who delivers a scorching criticism of Dr Dre, accusing him of disrespecting him and suggesting that he is the wrong person to diss. The first verse is Bin Laden's response to the World Trade Bombings and blames the blame on him. He is angry at Dr Dre for attacking him with gangsta rap and challenges him to a battle, claiming that he is not the only one going platinum. In the second verse, Bin Laden taunts Dr Dre, saying he will use his own rap against him and suggesting that his beats are helped.
On the surface, the lyrics of Detox are paradoxical, as they seem to glorify Bin Laden's terrorist activities while critiquing Dr Dre's rap skills. However, the song should not be taken literally, as it is primarily used to poke fun at the hip-hop culture and highlight the absurdity of some of its excesses. The song also raises important questions about the nature of revenge, hate, and bigotry, as well as the role of music in society.

@phuse175
Are you kidding me!? Dre, Jay and Game and not even 500k views!? This is an outright classic right here
@ravibhatti746
It’s cause this track is not legit. Jay never got on this song with game. He never gave it to game. Game just put a verse on and put it on a mixtape. They were beefing at the time too. So it makes no sense.
@eyecontrol4900
@Ravi Bhatti this was the song that started the beef with Jayz and Game.
@rossfylesthadon1443
@Eye Control yeah Jay Z was crying because Game put it on his mixtape
@Gardenstateking
