Where'd You Go
Eminem Jay-Z; 2Pac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Acting like a hoe
I don't know why I'll be fucking with you
Was it the liquor, that makes me act blind, times that I'm with her
Anonymous pictures of other niggas tryin' to kiss her
Will I love her or shall I diss her?
Tryin' to paint a perfect picture
My memories of jealousy no longer carefree
'cause so much bullshit your girlfriends keep tellin' me
I'm on tour, but now my bedroom's an open door
So it got me thinkin', what am I tryin' for?
When I was young I was so very dumb, eager to please
A lil', trick on a mission tryin' to get in my P's
Me and my niggas is thug niggas, former known drug dealers
We don't love bitches and believe, they don't love niggas
I gotta blame my attraction
But you became a distraction, a threat to my paper stackin'
I thought you changed but now I know
Can't turn a hoe into a housewife, baby, and there you go
There you go, actin' like a hoe
There you there you go, actin' like a hoe
There you go, actin' like a hoe
Actin' like a hoe, actin' like a hoe
Hoe! See the word on the streets you're a
Hoe! Just a groupie on a world tour

So how I look, gettin' hooked, like I ain't got G?
Truly cutie booty big, but that ain't enough
And the head make me beg, still that just ain't enough
When I don't trust her, the bitch be lyin' too much
When she be dyin' to fuck me you be buyin' her stuff, hoe
See girlfriend I know, your whole M.M.'s preoccupied with mostly
Gettin' clown after clown, town coast to coast, see

Got me turned off completely by that sheisty shit that you do
Knew from jump yo' aim, straight through them spandex, don't front
Just name, spots on yo' body for me to touch while you clutch this game
I keep flowin' like H20 it ain't Outhin' for me to say
Why you keep actin' like a hoe? but there you go

The lyrics to Eminem, Jay-Z, and 2Pac's song "Where'd You Go" address a common theme in rap music: the betrayal of trust and the unfaithfulness of women. In this particular song, the rappers are calling out a woman for acting like a hoe, or engaging in sexual activity with multiple partners without much regard for her own well-being or the feelings of others.
The song is a series of verses in which each rapper takes a turn describing his own experience with a deceitful woman. The verses describe a variety of scenarios, from anonymous pictures of other men trying to kiss her to the woman chasing after other men while her current partner is away on tour. The chorus is a repeated refrain of "there you go, acting like a hoe," which highlights the frustration and disappointment of the rappers as they navigate relationships with women who are not loyal.
The lyrics of "Where'd You Go" are both a reflection of the misogyny and toxic masculinity that is often present in rap music and a lamentation of the broken trust and broken relationships that can result from infidelity. The song is a reminder that relationships take work and honesty, and that acting like a hoe can have real, lasting consequences for everyone involved.
