Obie Trice (Feat. Eminem) 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
The lyrics for the song "Go to Sleep" by Obie Trice feat Eminem and DMX are filled with aggression and violence. The overall theme of the song is the desire to eliminate an enemy, to the extent that the singer vows to stop eating, sleeping, or breathing until he has achieved his goal. The lyrics are a reflection of the intense anger and frustration that often accompanies gangsta rap. The verses are littered with expletives, and contain vivid descriptions of violent acts. The first verse is particularly focused on a desire for revenge, and the singer is determined that his enemy will be hurt to the point that he is permanently damaged.
The second verse contains a similar message, but there is also an emphasis on the idea of "realness." The singer insists that he is the genuine article, while dismissing his enemies as pretenders. He also uses the opportunity to remind listeners of his own talent as a rapper. The third verse is focused on the idea of Blood Line, and how being part of this group gives the singer a sense of pride and strength. As a whole, the song is designed to be provocative and aggressive, which is in keeping with the ethos of gangsta rap.
Line by Line Meaning
I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
I won't rest or take care of myself until I get what I want
Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
I won't stop until I see my enemy suffer and die
And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep, in the dirt
I want to see you dead and buried
Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
I want to murder you, not just hurt you
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Just hurting you isn't enough for me
'cause we, are just gonna be, enemies
We will always be mortal enemies
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
I don't see either of us ever forgiving or forgetting
Coming to terms, where we can agree
We'll never agree or come to terms
There ain't gonna be, no reasoning, speakin wit me
I won't listen to reason or try to make peace
You speak on my seed, then me, no speak-a ingles
If you mention my family, I won't understand any language
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
We will continue fighting unless you meet me face-to-face
You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
You need to agree to meet me in person
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
We need to settle this in person, and you'll see my true rage
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
You'll see a side of me you've never witnessed
And you're gonna see, this gangster beat on himself
I'll hurt myself before I let you hurt me
I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
I appreciate my crew but I can handle this alone
Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
I can do this myself, I don't need a large group to help
When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
When I see you, it's just me and you
We never met, but best believe you gon know me
We've never met, but you'll know who I am soon enough
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
When I'm close enough, I'll reveal your fakeness
Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Come on and try to fight me, let's do this
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
Try to fight and overpower me, like you said you would
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
You're pathetic and weak, just like I thought you'd be
I'm rid of you, all of you, Ja, you'll get it too!
I'll get rid of all of you and Ja Rule as well
Now go to sleep bitch!
Now die, motherfucker!
Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
Die already, time's up, close your eyes and let it happen
We got you niggaz, nervous
We've got you scared and worried
On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
We're doing it on purpose to destroy your confidence, you're worthless
You'se not them G's, you'se a circus, you'se no appeal, please
You're not real gangsters, you're just a joke. You've got no appeal
You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You're finished, you're rapping on tracks with nonsense rhymes
You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
You're acting tough but you're not a real threat, who are you serving?
When lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
I should lyrically destroy you and bury you in the ground
You fuck with a label overseeing the Earth
You went up against a label that has complete power over the music industry
Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
We're both artists under Shady Records
And as I mold, I become a curse
As I grow as an artist, I become more dangerous
So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
So let's battle it out through our lyrics, in the streets
Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
Pull out your guns and shoot, the one who dies is the loser
Depicts fiction in his verse
Tells fake stories in his raps
And as I breathe, and you be deceased
I'll outlast you and you'll be dead
The world believe you deceived just to speak
Everyone knows you're filling your rhymes with lies
You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
You're not a real gangster, you're just a paper pusher
Use not your chest nigga, use a vest
Don't try to be tough, wear a bulletproof vest
Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Before you get to choose, I'll choose death for you
Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt
You're going to die, and I'll bury you six feet deep
Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets
I'll walk confidently and talk tough like a beast on the streets
I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
I'll stay smoking and carrying guns in New York
Stalk on the beat, walk wit my feet
I'll walk around the music industry and dominate it
Understand my pain, the rain ain't sleet
You don't know my hardship, you're just facing minor difficulties
Peep how I'm moving, peep where I'm going
Watch how I move and where I'm headed
Shit don't seep, then sleep not knowin
If you don't understand, then you'll die not knowing
But I'ma keep growing, getting larger than life
I'll continue to become more successful and famous
Easy-going with the same one that started the fight
I'm still on good terms with the person who I first fought
He be knowing how dog get, when dog gon bite
He knows how I get when I get angry and lash out
Tried to show him the dog shit, it's dog for life
I tried to show him the hard truth, but we'll always be enemies
Grand champ, and my Blood Line is tight
I'm a grand champion and my crew is strong
'cause it's all good, it's all right
Everything is fine, everything is okay
Niggas tried to holla, but couldn't holla back
People tried to challenge me, but couldn't handle it
Now they gots to swallow, everything in the sac
Now they need to accept defeat and everything that comes with it
Blood Line, and, we can go track for track
My crew and I can make music that is just as good as yours
Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that?
Why did you have to defeat those guys so badly?
All you motherfuckers, take that!
Take the hit, all of you motherfuckers
Here, take this too, bitch! Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Waaaaaahoo
Take this as well, you coward
We're killing all you motherfuckers dead, all of you
We are destroying all of you, you will all die
Fake ass gangsters! No more press! No more press!
You're all fake gangsters, no more media attention for you
Rot, motherfuckers, rot! Decay, in the dirt, bitch, in the motherfucking dirt!
Rot and decay in the ground, you're all finished
Die nameless, bitch, die nameless! No more fame!
Die with no recognition, you will no longer be famous
Ahhh! Hahahaha
I'm victorious and laughing about it
Yo X, come on man, Obie, let's go, haha
Eminem and Obie Trice are ready to continue to the next challenge
