About

Kill You is an unofficial and rarely documented live cover associated with Robbie Williams’s The Sermon on the Mount Tour in 2000. The tour supported Sing When You’re Winning, which was released in August that year. Eminem issued the original Kill You in May 2000 on The Marshall Mathers LP. Reports from attendees indicate that Williams incorporated a short extract of the track into selected shows, but it was never included in official setlists, recordings or releases.

As performed, Kill You would have retained its stark, confrontational tone, characteristic of Eminem’s early work. In Williams’s arena setting, these moments functioned chiefly as high tempo contrasts within a set dominated by material from Sing When You’re Winning, I’ve Been Expecting You and Life thru a Lens. Without verified footage, any further detail on arrangement or delivery remains undocumented.

Although Kill You has no official status in Williams’s discography, its reported appearance on the Sermon on the Mount Tour is often noted by long time followers as an example of his willingness to weave contemporary material into his performances. In the absence of primary sources, it remains a minor and largely unverifiable footnote in his live history.

Lyrics

(Sung by his band)
You don't want to fuck with Robbie
Because what?
Because Robbie will fucking kill you
Say what?
You don't want to mess with Robbie
Why man?
Because Robbie will fucking kill you
Ain't no shit gringo!
You don't want to mess with Robbie
Why?
Because Robbie will fucking kill you
Uhuh!
You don't want to mess with Robbie
Because Robbie will fucking kill you
