That's How...
D12 Lyrics
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
This is how it happens to you
That's how people get fucked up!
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
This is how it happens to you
That's how people get fucked up!
Yo, if you a loudmouth, trying to wild out
And we see just how you laying and we peeped yo' style out
That's how niggas get fucked up!
No love at home with your kinfolk
And the world just keep fucking with your mental
And all these kids making fun of your trench coat
That's how students get shot up!
Hating on us but you come to our show
(Fuck them niggas) I crowd surf and you let me go
(Oh no!) Whup yo' ass when I get off the flo', just so you know though
That's how haters get fucked up!
When the police pull you over and shit
Then find ganja, now every month they checking on yo' piss
They getting mad cuz you ain't come back since, and now they sweating you
That's how P.O.'s get fucked up!
When your mans hook you up with a bitch
Over the phone and when you see her she ugly as shit (god damn!)
Now at the end of date she want a kiss, AND some dick
That's how blind dates get fucked up!
Saying we not a real crew with a lot of skill
And only one nigga in our crew make the dollar bills
Y'all fools just mad cause y'all ain't got a deal
Local rappers talk too much!
(We gon' rob this bank) but you roll with punks
Manager tripped the alarm and you all get stuck
Cops got AK's, y'all only got pumps - that shit's just dumb!
That's how Cool C got locked up!
When yo' ass wanna walk in a club
Instead of telling you to wait, the nigga wanna push and shove
(Move!) Then get trampled from the niggas you brung, so move over
That's how bouncers get fucked up!
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
This is how it happens to you
That's how people get fucked up!
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
When you get your guns out of the stash
And gather all your homies up to go and shoot up a pad
Soon as you finish y'all run out of gas - you better haul ass
That's how drivebys get fucked up!
Mixing weed with the brew, ecstasy and Kahlua
Gasoline fumes, nitrous balloons
Acid tab-lets and the magic mushrooms
That's how D12 get fucked up!
(Hey I like your records) but my album ain't dropped
(Dr. Dre's my favorite) bitch get off his jock
Got a backstage pass and I need to get off; wanna meet da-da-d-Doc
That's how groupies get tossed up!
Drop out of school, take drugs and molest sluts
Got your girlfriend sucking on my left nut
Your parents don't like me, but guess what?
Cause Bizarre don't give a fuck!
Chokin' your wife all in front of your peeps (bitch!)
She toss a brick through the window of your Jeep
Get back together by the end of the week, that's so sweet!
Slim and Kim argue too much!
Invite a ho to your house while your bitch is out
Now you got your dick all up in her fucking mouth
Pull it out and then you bust off on her favorite blouse
That's how Clinton got caught up!
Steal cars, wreck bars, get fucked up beyond
Recognition walk in titty clubs like we stars
Our mission every day is just to smoke bongs and fuck bitches in thongs
That's how Runyan Ave. is cut!
When your life wasn't raised up right
Then see your mother coming home with different niggas every night
And then you run into the one you don't like; so get the FUCK lost
That's how step-dads get fucked up!
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
This is how it happens to you
That's how people get fucked up!
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)
This is how it happens to you
That's how people get fucked up!
(Niggas, crackers, whities, jews)

D12 (aka The Dirty Dozen and D-Twizzy) was initially formed in 1991 by Proof who invited local Detroit rappers such as Bizarre, Eminem and other members who would leave the crew before it achieved success including Eye Kyu, Killa Hawk and Fuzz. The group was a loose collective in the vein of Wu-Tang Clan. Several members began making names for themselves in hip hop during the late 1990s. Bizarre was named Inner City Entertainment's "Flava of the Week" and Proof won a free-styling competition run by The Source in 1998.

The group was a loose collective in the vein of Wu-Tang Clan. Several members began making names for themselves in hip hop during the late 1990s. Bizarre was named Inner City Entertainment's "Flava of the Week" and Proof won a free-styling competition run by The Source in 1998.
However, it was as a solo artist that D12 member Eminem found success. All of the members of D12 have aliases and Eminem chose Slim Shady as his. Eminem was formerly in a group called Soul Intent along with Proof before leaving and forming with D12.
Eminem's success persuaded Proof to establish D12 on a more permanent basis in early 1999. Bizarre, Eminem, Kon Artis, Bugz, and Kuniva were recruited to join the group. Kuniva and Kon Artis were previously part of Da Brigade. However, Bugz passed away in Detroit on May 21, 1999 because of a gun incident at a picnic that turned into a shooting, leading to Kuniva proposing Swift take Bugz's place. Each of the members of the crew wears a tattoo of Bugz's name in his honor. The tracks Good Die Young and Bugz 97 (the latter of which features an appearance from Bugz) on D12 World are also in his memory.
The six members of D12 signed a contract with Eminem's Shady Records and Interscope in 2000. The fact that D12 rose to prominence after Eminem led many people to assume that the other members had less significance in the group - this would be the concept of the group's 2004 hit single My Band. They also made the song to adress the common using of Eminem featuring D12.
Despite Eminem's prominence in the music industry, D12 insists that there is no frontman in the group and that Eminem is just another member. In spite of this, D12 recently began to tour as a separate entity to Eminem, a controversial move that could lead to confusion among concert-goers who may believe they are paying to see Eminem as well as the other five performers.
Sadly, early morning on April 11, 2006, Proof was shot and killed at a Detroit-area nightclub. Proof, real name DeShaun Holton, was 32 years old. Proof was also one of Eminem's best friends and will be missed by fans and friends.

These guys were really underrated. Definitely my favorite group from the Midwest.
Spice King
@Isa the Rebel yeah they were some of the most unique for their time.
Isa the Rebel
@Spice King Probably the best relationship I've seen between mentor and artist bro, Dre's work on Em's album is amzing bro, but Em's work on D12's beats and Get Rich or Die Tryin' is amazing bro, D12 beats definitely was insane, really funky bro
Spice King
@Isa the Rebel yeah that's where he found out he had an affinity for it was watching Dre. I couldn't imagine having that type of mentorship as an artist. I personally think some of ems best producer work shines on 50's get rich or die trying album. But a lot of d12's beats were insane.
Isa the Rebel
@Spice King For real bro, the early beats sounded the best I think Eminem should get credit for his producing as well, but g-funk is a genre I really enjoy, Dre making this type of sound for Em, nothing sounded better, even Em used to watch Dre produce
Spice King
@Isa the Rebel yeah his earlier beats were really just something else. Hes overlooked as a producer almost to a criminal degree just because he's known for rapping so much it kindve overshadows it.

Evidence that D12 didn’t need Eminem to be good.
OsK_bar Lopez
Fuck all of you! Eminem is the dick in this world 🌎

@D-Documentários “probably”
