eminem dmx 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Go To Sleep" by Eminem, DMX, and Obie Trice express the unrelenting anger and determination of the singers, who assert that they won't stop or rest until their enemies are defeated. The song starts by declaring the intent of the singer to not eat, sleep, or breathe until they see their enemy in the dirt, dead and defeated. They refuse to agree or reason with their enemy and claim that they will keep on beefing until they meet in person and settle their differences. The song ends with the singers taunting and aggressively urging their enemies to go to sleep, die, and rot in the dirt.


The lyrics of the song convey the themes of revenge and aggression, which are a common motif in Eminem's music. The song is filled with profanity and violent references, which are aimed at the singer's enemies. The chorus of the song is especially aggressive, with the refrain "Go to sleep, bitch!" repeated over and over. The song is notable for its intense energy and the powerful performances of all three singers.


Line by Line Meaning

I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
I'm not going to do anything until I achieve my goal


Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
I won't be satisfied until I get what I want


And what I wanna see, is you go to sleep, in the dirt
My objective is to get rid of you permanently


Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
Harming you is not enough, I want you gone for good


For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Harming you is not enough to fulfill my objective


'cause we, are just gonna be, enemies
We will be enemies and nothing else


As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
As long as we're alive, we won't come to an agreement


Coming to terms, where we can agree
Reaching a point where we can reconcile is not possible


There ain't gonna be, no reasoning, speakin wit me
Don't expect me to listen to reason or talk this out


You speak on my seed, then me, no speak-a ingles
If you mention my child, I won't understand a word you say


So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
We will continue to fight unless


You're gonna agree, to meet with me in the flesh
Unless you agree to see me face-to-face,


And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
And we'll deal with this in person and you will witness


A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
The extent of my wrath that you've never seen before


And you're gonna see, this gangster beat on himself
You'll see me at my most violent


I see you D-12, and thanks, but me need no help
Thank you D-12, but I don't need your help


Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
I'm going to accomplish this alone, without the help of my friends


When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
When I catch you, it will just be me and you, no one else


We never met, but best believe you gon know me
We haven't met yet, but rest assured, you'll recognize me


When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
When I'm within striking distance, I'll reveal your true nature


Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Come on, let's fight. Give it your best shot


Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
Fight me just like you said you would


You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
You're a pathetic liar, that's what I thought


I'm rid of you, all of you, Ja, you'll get it too!
I'm done with you and your crew. Ja Rule, you're next!


Now go to sleep bitch!
Now it's time for you to die!


Die, motherfucker, die! Ugh, time's up, bitch, close ya eyes
It's the end for you. You're gonna die now.


Go to sleep, bitch! (what?)
Get ready to die!


Why are you still alive? How many times I gotta say, close ya eyes?
Why haven't you died yet? How many times do I need to say it: you're going to die.


And go to sleep bitch! (what?)
It's time to go to sleep permanently.


Die motherfucker die, bye, bye, motherfucker, bye, bye!
Goodbye forever, you're gonna die.


We got you niggaz, nervous
We've got you worried and scared.


On purpose, to hurt your focus, you'se not MC's, you'se worthless
We're doing it intentionally to throw you off. You guys are not real rappers, 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 a joke. Nobody likes you.


You'se curtains, you use words, cool heard, slurred in two thousand third
You're done for, your rhymes are weak and every year you sound worse


You'se purpin, you'se no threat, who's ya servin?
You're fake, you're not dangerous. Who are you trying to impress?


When lyrically oughta bury you beneath the dirt when
You're so bad that I should be able to defeat you easily


You fuck with a label overseeing the Earth
You're fighting against a powerful record company


Shady muthafucka, O. Trice's birth
Eminem is a badass and Obie Trice is his protege.


And as I mold, I become a curse
As I grow and learn, I become more dangerous and powerful.


So we can put down the verse, take it to the turf
We can have a rap battle and take it to the streets.


Cock and squeeze, and he who reach the hearse is he who
We'll use guns, and whoever gets killed is the loser


Depicts fiction in his verse
Makes up lies in his lyrics.


And as I breathe, and you be deceased
As long as I'm alive and you're not.


The world believe you deceived just to speak
Everyone thinks you're a liar, even when you're talking.


You'se not the streets, you'se the desk
You're not a real gangster, you're a wannabe.


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


Before two's choose ya rest, you chose death
Before you were ready, you picked a fight that will cost you your life.


Six feet deep, nigga, that's the debt
You're going to be buried in a grave 6 feet deep.


Hey dog, I'ma walk like a beast, talk like the streets
I'm going to act like an animal and talk like a thug.


I'ma stay blazin New York wit the heat
I'm going to keep causing problems in New York with my violent behavior.


Stalk on the beat, walk wit my feet
I'm going to roam the streets on foot.


Understand my pain, the rain ain't sleet
You don't know the pain I've gone through. Rainy weather doesn't compare.


Peep how I'm moving, peep where I'm going
Watch how I operate and where I'm headed.


Shit don't seep, then sleep not knowin
If you don't understand, go to bed early tonight and don't worry about it.


But I'ma keep growing, getting larger than life
I'm going to keep getting bigger and badder every day.


Easy-going with the same one that started the fight
I'm going to stay on good terms with the person who originally caused the conflict.


He be knowing how dog get, when dog gon bite
He knows what to expect when I get angry.


Tried to show him the dog shit, it's dog for life
I tried to teach him how to be a real thug, but he didn't listen.


Grand champ, and my Blood Line is tight
I'm a champion and my family is close-knit.


'cause it's all good, it's all right
Everything is going well, no worries.


Niggas tried to holla, but couldn't holla back
People tried to communicate with me, but I didn't respond.


Now they gots to swallow, everything in the sac
They have to accept everything that comes with the consequences.


Blood Line, and, we can go track for track
My family can compete with anyone on the rap scene.


Damn dog, why'd you have to do them niggas like that?
Wow, you really hurt those guys, didn't you?


All you motherfuckers, take that!
Everyone who doesn't like me can deal with it.


Here, take this too, bitch! Uh, Uh, Uh, Uh, Waaaaaahoo
Take this as well, loser! Ha ha ha!


We're killing all you motherfuckers dead, all of you
We're going to destroy all of you.


Fake ass gangsters! No more press! No more press!
You're all phony thugs! Leave us alone!


Rot, motherfuckers, rot! Decay, in the dirt, bitch, in the motherfucking dirt!
Die and rot in the dirt!


Die nameless, bitch, die nameless! No more fame!
You're going to die and no one will remember who you are. No more fame for you!


Ahhh! Hahahaha
Evil laughter


Yo X, come on man, Obie, let's go, haha
Okay DMX, let's move on to the next topic with Obie.
