Go to Sleep
Eminem/Dmx/Obie Trice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
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
There ain't gonna be, no reasoning, speakin wit me
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Go to Sleep by Eminem, DMX, and Obie Trice depict a violent exchange between two enemies. The singer declares that they won't rest until their enemy is permanently hurt or dead. They assert that there can be no reasoning or justification for the animosity between them, and the only resolution is for a physical confrontation. The singer taunts their opponent, challenging them to face them in person and threatening to unleash a demonic rage they have yet to witness.


The second verse sung by DMX takes on a more confrontational tone, calling out those who try to compete in the rap game but fall short. He declares that those who are not true MCs are worthless and have no chance of succeeding. He goes on to assert that he is an all-powerful force, and those who try to come against him will be buried beneath the dirt. The final verse, sung by Obie Trice, is an aggressive and boastful declaration of his talent and determination to succeed in the rap game.

I am telling you to go to sleep forever in a series of aggressive, profanity-laden lines. You have caused me too much pain, and it is time for you to face the consequences.


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
We are intentionally trying to rile you up and mess with your focus. You are not real MCs and lack any kind of appeal. It's curtains for you. You use words that are cool but ultimately meaningless.


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
You are posing as something you are not and are no real threat to anyone. We will bury you with our superior lyrics. We are part of a label that oversees everything, and we are not to be messed with.


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
As I change and evolve, I become a curse to my enemies. We can put our arguments aside and settle this with music. If you exaggerate or lie in your lyrics, you will be the one who ends up in a coffin.


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
Once I have killed you, people will believe that you were a liar who only talked a big game. You are not someone from the streets - you are a poser. Don't speak from your heart and be vulnerable - protect yourself with a bulletproof vest.


Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
You have made your choice to face death rather than come to any kind of agreement. I will continue to act like a wild animal and talk like someone from the streets. I will stay carrying weapons around New York.


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
I am walking with a sense of purpose and pain, and the rain cannot deter me. Watch me closely and see where I am headed. If you can't keep up, you will never know what happens next.


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
I will continue to grow and become a bigger figure in the rap world. I won't hold it against my friend for starting this fight - he knows how I can be. I tried to warn him about the consequences, but it's too late now.


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
I am a grand champion and surrounded by close friends and family. Everything is going well for me. People have tried to start beef, but they have been unable to keep up and must acknowledge me as the superior artist.


Blood Line, and, we can go track for track Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that? 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!

We are proud of our Blood Line and are willing to take on anyone who wants to compete with us musically. Why did you have to go and demolish all of these lesser artists? We are done with all of the fake gangsters and don't want any more press coverage. You will rot in the dirt and no one will ever remember your name.
