Purple Hills
D12 (Ft. Eminem) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers
But nothing compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
I've been to mushroom mountain, once or twice but who's countin'
But nothin' compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
Yo, yo
With a couple of Valium inside her palm
It's Mr. Mischief with a trick up his sleeve
To roll up on you like Christopher Reeves
I can't describe the vibe I get
When I drive by six people and five I hit (oops)
Aw shit, I started a mosh pit
Squashed a bitch and stomped her foster kids (AHH!)
These 'shrooms make me hallucinate
Then I sweat till I start losin' weight
'Til I see dumb shit start happenin'
Dumber than Vanilla Ice tryin' to rap again
So bounce, bounce, come on bounce
I said come on, bounce
Everybody in the house with a half an ounce (me!)
Not weed, I meant coke, dumb-ass sit down
We don't bullshit, better ask around
D-12 throws the bombest bash in town
Bizarre, your mom is passin' out
Get her ass on the couch 'fore she crashes out
Come on!
Fuck that, someone help Denaun
He's upstairs naked with a weapon drawn
Heh, hey Von you see me steppin' on these leprechauns?
It gotta be acid cause the X is gone
Ya I took them all dawg with some parmesan
And I think my arm is gone
Naw it's probably numb
Young, dumb, and full of cum
And I think he 'bout to swallow his tongue
Scary ass it was a false alarm
You think I'm 'bout to die when I just got on?
Yo stop actin' stupid
You so high that you might wake up with a guy on some new shit (EWW!)
Yeah I think I did too much, this substance equals cups
Red pills, blue pills, and green, big pills (that's ill), mescaline!
I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers
But nothing compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
I've been to mushroom mountain, once or twice but who's countin'
But nothin' compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
Dirty Dozen, eighty of us, Shady brothers, ladies love us
That's why our baby mothers love us but they hate each other
They probably wanna take each other out and date each other
Some, somethin', some'un, some'un, some'un
Pop pills, pills I pop
Pop two pills on stilts I walk
Snort two lines that were filled with chalk
Thought it was Incredible and killed the Hulk
I wanna, roll away like a rollerblade
Until my eyes roll back in my skull for days
And when I'm, old and gray look for dope to smoke
No okey-doke, I'm packin' my nose with coke
Am I supposed to choke?
Had an accident when the Trojan broke
Ahh, poor baby, born by whore lady
Now I gotta strangle a (you're crazy!)
I pop fo' E's at one time
And I don't need water when I'm swallowin' mine
(Yeah, you got any shrooms?) Does Bizarre smoke crack?
We can't get jobs cause our arms show tracks
Why the hell you niggaz think I rap?
We do it just to get your company hijacked
And if you like smack (uh-huh) then I might too
(Swift, chill) I just wanna get high like you! (ewww)
And I don't give a damn if they white or blue (uh-huh)
Speed, 'shrooms, down the valiums (uh-huh)
Even smoke weed outta vacuums
I just copped some and I'm goin back soon
I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers
But nothing compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
I've been to mushroom mountain, once or twice but who's countin'
But nothin compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
I'm at rave lookin' like a slave, high off chronic
Gin and tonic demonic, body smell like vomit
Pussy poppin', acid droppin', dope-headed guy
Heroin mescaline, pencilnecks, wanna try?
Blue pills, golden seals, got Bizarre, actin' ill
Drugs kill (yeah right) bitch, I'm for real!!!
Shut your mouth you dirty slut, you know you want it in your butt
I'll put it in your cunt, let Bizarre nut!
I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers
But nothing compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
I've been to mushroom mountain, once or twice but who's countin'
But nothin' compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
Dirty Dozen, eighty of us, Shady brothers, ladies love us
That's why our baby mothers love us but they hate each other
They probably wanna take each other out and date each other
Some, somethin, some'un, some'un, some'un
The song "Purple Pills" by D12 (featuring Eminem) is about abusing and experiencing the effects of various drugs, from uppers to downers to mushrooms and prescription pills. The lyrics describe taking these drugs and experiencing hallucinations and weight loss, and also reference the dangers of drug use, such as overdosing and blacking out. The song also includes boastful statements about partying and references to sexual acts.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of danger and recklessness, with D12 and Eminem seemingly unafraid to experiment with different drugs and push their limits. The use of drugs is portrayed as a form of escape from reality and a way to have fun, but there is also an underlying message that highlights the negative consequences of drug use.
Overall, "Purple Pills" is a cautionary tale disguised as a party anthem, warning listeners about the dangers of drug use while also celebrating the wild and unpredictable nature of a drug-fueled night.

Dirty Dozen, eighty of us, Shady brothers, ladies love us
We're the Dirty Dozen, a group of eighty people, and we're all connected through our affiliation with Shady Records. Women are attracted to us.
That's why our baby mothers love us but they hate each other
Our childrens' mothers love us because we're rich and famous, but they hate each other out of jealousy
They probably wanna take each other out and date each other
They likely want to hurt each other and then date the same person out of spite

Am I supposed to choke?
Should I be choking on the cocaine?

I don't need water to help me swallow the pills
(Yeah, you got any shrooms?) Does Bizarre smoke crack?
I'm looking for mushrooms and making a joke about whether or not Bizarre uses crack cocaine
We can't get jobs cause our arms show tracks
We can't get hired for jobs because people can tell we use drugs based on the track marks on our arms
Why the hell you niggaz think I rap?
I rap as a way to gain money and status since traditional employment is not an option for me
We do it just to get your company hijacked
We're just trying to gain attention and stir up trouble
And if you like smack (uh-huh) then I might too
If you enjoy heroin, I might enjoy it too
(Swift, chill) I just wanna get high like you! (ewww)
My friend Swift tells me to calm down and I respond that I just want to get high like he is

I'm partying hard and doing various drugs
Heroin mescaline, pencilnecks, wanna try?
I'm listing drugs that I'm taking and challenging others to try them
Blue pills, golden seals, got Bizarre, actin' ill
I'm mentioning more drugs and noting that Bizarre is acting crazy
Drugs kill (yeah right) bitch, I'm for real!!!
I'm sarcastically acknowledging that drugs can be deadly, but I'm still using them
Shut your mouth you dirty slut, you know you want it in your butt
I'm saying vulgar and inappropriate things to a woman
I'll put it in your cunt, let Bizarre nut!
I continue to make inappropriate and vulgar comments about sexual behavior
Some, somethin, some'un, some'un, some'un
This line doesn't have any real meaning and appears to be nonsense
