Go to Sleep
Eminem feat. DMX vs Obie Trice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

Line by Line Meaning
I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
I won't rest until I have achieved my goal
Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to succeed
And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep, in the dirt
My goal is to see my enemy defeated, even if it means they die
Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
I am willing to inflict permanent damage to win this conflict
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Anything short of total victory is unacceptable to me
'cause we, are just gonna be, enemies
Our conflict is irreconcilable
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
There is no hope for reconciliation or compromise
Coming to terms, where we can agree
We will never find common ground
There ain't gonna be, no reasoning, speakin wit me
I'm not interested in listening or reasoning with my enemy
You speak on my seed, then me, no speak-a ingles
If you insult my family, I won't understand you
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
This conflict will continue until one of us is defeated
You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
We can only resolve our issues face-to-face
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
This conflict can only be resolved in person
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
You will see how fiercely I can fight
And you're gonna see, this gangster beat on himself
You will see me defeat my enemy single-handedly
I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
I don't need help defeating my enemy
Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
I can defeat my enemy alone without any assistance
When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
Our conflict is personal and directly between us
We never met, but best believe you gon know me
Even though we haven't met, my enemy will soon learn who I am
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
I will soon reveal my enemy for who they really are
Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
I dare you to try and defeat me
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
I want to see if my enemy is really as strong as they claim
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
My enemy is weaker than I thought they were
I'm rid of you, all of you, Ja, you'll get it too!
I will defeat my enemy and their allies
Now go to sleep bitch!
I am victorious! Sleep forever!
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Die now, it's time for sleep!
Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
Why wonโt you just die and leave me be?
And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
I command you to die!
Die motherfucker die, bye, bye, motherfucker, bye, bye!
You will die forever, goodbye!
We got you niggaz, nervous
We have our enemies on the defensive
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
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 not true gangsters and have no credibility
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
My enemies are finished and their raps are outdated
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
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?
