Purple Hills
D 12 feat. eminem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh yo yo yo yo

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
Cool, calm, just like my mom
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

Line by Line Meaning

I take a couple uppers, I down a couple downers
I consume both stimulants and depressants


But nothing compares to these blue and yellow purple pills
The drugs I take now are superior to all others


I've been to mushroom mountain, once or twice but who's countin'
I have experimented with psychedelic drugs before


It's Mr. Mischief with a trick up his sleeve
I am someone who likes to pull pranks


When I drive by six people and five I hit
I am so high that I can't safely operate a vehicle


These 'shrooms make me hallucinate
The psychedelic mushrooms are causing me to experience illusions


Dumber than Vanilla Ice tryin' to rap again
Something incredibly stupid or absurd


Not weed, I meant coke, dumb-ass sit down
I did not mean marijuana, I meant cocaine


D-12 throws the bombest bash in town
My group throws the wildest parties


Your mom is passin' out
Your mother has fainted and needs medical assistance


He's upstairs naked with a weapon drawn
One of my associates is in a dangerous and irrational state


And I think my arm is gone
I am experiencing a loss of sensation in my limb


Young, dumb, and full of cum
It is an expression referring to someone who is inexperienced yet confident


Scary ass it was a false alarm
My fear was unwarranted since nothing happened


You so high that you might wake up with a guy on some new shit
You are so intoxicated that you may engage in unexpected behavior


That's why our baby mothers love us but they hate each other
Women who have children with us adore us but do not get along with each other


Thought it was Incredible and killed the Hulk
I mistakenly believed I had superhuman strength and hurt someone


And when I'm, old and gray look for dope to smoke
Even in my old age, I will still seek out drugs


Now I gotta strangle a (you're crazy!)
I feel compelled to commit a violent act towards someone


And I don't give a damn if they white or blue (uh-huh)
I do not discriminate based on the color of drugs


Drugs kill (yeah right) bitch, I'm for real!!!
Despite the risks, I will continue to consume drugs


Shut your mouth you dirty slut, you know you want it in your butt
An offensive comment objectifying and degrading women
