House Music
Cadence Weapon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
right around the block use to slang wraps round
got it all up, got it all back now
it's a haunted house, got sold by the pound
if you wanna dance, think about it right now
see, i'm not in it yo listen, i'm not in it
this song's about beats, streets, i walked in it
when hit i get defensive cause he kris-krossed in it i've known who i am for longer than i've remember
but that was before i met you, so don't try eject into
some old-school memories, they never came up
i was never seen clean, so don't get it mixed up
y'all know what i'm talking bout
when it's time to rock about
sock em out, STOP now
(ch, ch) i'm in the house
yeah im in the house
i got friends who star for theyselves
gold-rimmed cronies with a handful of shells
in the next tuesday, i'll line myself with crisp
on the CBC, they film me above the hips
look at that car i drive, i whip it real good
devos, titos, rims, ghost ridin and it feels good
no, that ain't "real" hood
no that ain't lifestyle
i just rap about it so the kids can clap about it
i rap about drugs, i do it for my family
sold those packs from the back of a Camary
(NO) make sure what you write is correct
i gotta good eye, now my lines are connect
y'all know what i'm talking bout
sock em out, STOP now
(ch, ch) i'm in the house
yeah im in the house
welcome to the club scene
half of these rappers thugged it out
i've never had fun in the club scene
yo i dance real close in the club scene
started a real toast in the club scene
it's lovely
the club scene loves me, i spend my time in it
4 days a week, yo i write my rhymes in it
drink "grasshopper" with a couple lines in it
i know some bathrooms they did a couple lines in em
at the studio i get a couple styles out
wait in line for drinks, it's another time out
made out on the floor with a couple dames
how come i never seem to get what my money is spent?
y'all know what i'm talking bout
when it's time to rock about
sock em out, STOP now
(ch, ch) i'm in the house
yeah im in the house
