Where'd You Go
Eminem Jay-Z & 2Pac Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There you go,
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?
I'm sick of this scandalous shit I deal wit
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
Hoe! Now I found out for myself you're a
Hoe! Girl you need to check yourself

So I don't claim 'em, just bang 'em
Papa raised a player, so player, I play 'em
I got hoes that got more, hoes than me
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
I been tryin' to stay away from sluts like you
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Where'd You Go" by Eminem, Jay-Z, and 2Pac delves into the issues of infidelity and the consequences that come with it. The song starts with the lyrics "There you go, acting like a hoe," implying that the subject of the song is not being faithful. The lyrics go on to discuss the struggle of trying to decide whether to continue a relationship plagued by betrayal and deceit, or walk away from it entirely. The artists admit to being attracted to the woman, but they are also aware that this attraction is a distraction and a threat to their financial stability.


The song's chorus repeatedly uses the phrase "Actin' like a hoe," which is often used as a derogatory term for a promiscuous woman. However, the verse where Tupac raps about the woman giving her number out to every man she meets is especially significant. This suggests that the "hoe" label can be used to describe someone who is disloyal and untrustworthy, regardless of their sexual activity. Thus, the song's message is that regardless of gender or sexual orientation, disloyalty is never acceptable.
