Purple Hills
Eminem (ft. D12) 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 Hills" by Eminem (ft. D12) is about drug use and its effects on the user. The lyrics describe taking uppers and downers and the experience of hallucinating from mushrooms. The chorus emphasizes the superiority of "blue and yellow purple pills" over other drugs. The verses are filled with explicit language and violent imagery, including references to hitting pedestrians with a car and squashing a woman at a concert. The lyrics also touch on themes of sexual assault and incest.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the reckless and dangerous behavior that can result from drug abuse, as well as the culture of excess and hedonism in the music industry. Eminem and D12 use their lyrics to critique society's attitudes towards substance abuse, while also admitting their own struggles with addiction.

I've been to mushroom mountain, once or twice but who's countin'
I've done drugs like mushrooms before, but I don't really keep track
Cool, calm, just like my mom

Oops, I started a fight at a concert
Squashed a bitch and stomped her foster kids (AHH!)

There are a lot of us (12 in my group, plus 80 more people), and women are into us
That's why our baby mothers love us but they hate each other
Our ex-girlfriends, who are also mothers of our children, are jealous of each other
They probably wanna take each other out and date each other
They probably want to kill each other or have sex with each other
Some, somethin', some'un, some'un, some'un

Pop pills, pills I pop
I take a lot of pills
Pop two pills on stilts I walk
After taking two pills, I feel like I'm walking on stilts
Snort two lines that were filled with chalk
I snorted two lines of what I thought was cocaine, but it was really chalk
Thought it was Incredible and killed the Hulk
I felt invincible and like I could take on anyone
I wanna, roll away like a rollerblade
I wish I could escape and roll away like I'm on roller skates
Until my eyes roll back in my skull for days
Until I'm so high, my eyes roll back in my head for days
And when I'm, old and gray look for dope to smoke
Even when I'm old, I'll still want to smoke drugs
No okey-doke, I'm packin' my nose with coke
I'm not lying, I really do snort cocaine
Am I supposed to choke?
I'm having trouble breathing
Had an accident when the Trojan broke
I had a pregnancy scare when a condom broke
Ahh, poor baby, born by whore lady
I'm making fun of someone born to a prostitute
Now I gotta strangle a (you're crazy!)
Now I have to assault someone
I pop fo' E's at one time
I take four ecstasy pills at once
And I don't need water when I'm swallowin' mine
I don't even need water to help me swallow the pills
(Yeah, you got any shrooms?) Does Bizarre smoke crack?
Someone is asking me if I have mushrooms, and I joke by asking if Bizarre smokes crack
We can't get jobs cause our arms show tracks
We can't get jobs because our arms show signs of drug use
Why the hell you niggaz think I rap?
The only reason I'm a rapper is to get my hand on drugs and party
We do it just to get your company hijacked
We only want to hang out with people so we can steal from them
And if you like smack (uh-huh) then I might too
And if you like heroin, then I probably do too
(Swift, chill) I just wanna get high like you! (ewww)
I just want to do drugs with you, nothing sexual

I take speed, mushrooms, and Valium all at once

I'm a guy who likes to do drugs, dance with women, and have sex
Heroin mescaline, pencilnecks, wanna try?
I'll do any drug, even heroin and mescaline, and challenge anyone to try it with me
Blue pills, golden seals, got Bizarre, actin' ill
There are different types of pills around, making Bizarre act strange
Drugs kill (yeah right) bitch, I'm for real!!!
People say that drugs kill, but I don't believe that and I'm still doing them
Shut your mouth you dirty slut, you know you want it in your butt
I'm talking to a woman in a derogatory way, implying she wants anal sex
I'll put it in your cunt, let Bizarre nut!
I'll have sex with you, and Bizarre will ejaculate as well
Some, somethin, some'un, some'un, some'un
I'm just saying random words to fill space and sound cool
