Go to Sleep
Eminem feat. DMX vs 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

We are trying to weaken and demoralize our enemies


You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please

My enemies are weak and have no power


When lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
I will defeat my enemies with my superior lyrics


You fuck with a label overseeing the Earth
Don't mess with our record label, we're very powerful


Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
We are loyal to our record label, Shady Records


And as I mold, I become a curse
I am becoming a powerful force to be reckoned with


So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
We will settle this with our music and our words


Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
The person who dies is the loser


Depicts fiction in his verse
My enemies are liars and phonies


And as I breathe, and you be deceased
I will emerge victorious and my enemies will be dead


The world believe you deceived just to speak
Everyone will know that my enemies are liars


You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
My enemies are pretending to be tough but are actually desk jockeys


Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Don't be foolish, protect yourself


Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
If you fight with us, you will die


Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt
You will pay the ultimate price for challenging us


Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets
I will behave like a savage animal to intimidate my enemies


I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
I will remain in New York and continue making music


Stalk on the beat, walk wit my feet
I am confident and in control


Understand my pain, the rain ain't sleet
My experiences have been difficult, but not unbeatable


Peep how I'm moving, peep where I'm going
Watch how I operate and be aware of my intentions


Shit don't seep, then sleep not knowin
If you're not careful, you will be caught off guard


But I'ma keep growing, getting larger than life
I will continue to grow and be successful


Easy-going with the same one that started the fight
Despite all the conflict, I'm still loyal to my friends


He be knowing how dog get, when dog gon bite
My enemies know how dangerous I can be


Tried to show him the dog shit, it's dog for life
I proved my point and won't back down


Grand champ, and my Blood Line is tight
I am a champion and loyal to my family


'cause it's all good, it's all right
I'm confident and unafraid


Niggas tried to holla, but couldn't holla back
My enemies tried to challenge me, but I proved them wrong


Now they gots to swallow, everything in the sac
My enemies must accept defeat


We can go track for track
We can compete with our music


Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that?
Why did you have to defeat our enemies so badly?
