Purple Hills
Eminem and D-12 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

I have the urge to move and skate away with my rollerblades on
Until my eyes roll back in my skull for days

Even when I'm old, I'll still crave drugs
No okey-doke, I'm packin' my nose with coke
I'm being honest. I'm snorting cocaine
Am I supposed to choke?

We can't get jobs cause our arms show tracks
We're not able to find jobs because our arms show signs of injection from drugs
Why the hell you niggaz think I rap?
The reason we rap is to make money since we're unable to find jobs
We do it just to get your company hijacked
And since you enjoy our music, we want to use our fame to promote our drug use and convince you to do the same so we can rob you
And if you like smack (uh-huh) then I might too
If you enjoy using heroin, I might do it too as peer pressure and to feel accepted
(Swift, chill) I just wanna get high like you! (ewww)
Take it easy, Swift. I just want to get as high as you're getting right now
And I don't give a damn if they white or blue (uh-huh)

I'm enjoying the lustful attention of women, dropping acid, and using narcotics
Heroin mescaline, pencilnecks, wanna try?
Would you like to consume hard drugs like heroin or hallucinogenic mescaline?
Blue pills, golden seals, got Bizarre, actin' ill
Different types of pills like blue pills and 'golden seals' can make Bizarre, my friend, act irrational
Drugs kill (yeah right) bitch, I'm for real!!!
Drugs are dangerous and can be life-threatening, but I do not care, and I'm being honest about it
Shut your mouth you dirty slut, you know you want it in your butt
Tell that promiscuous female to keep quiet and stop resisting anal sex
I'll put it in your cunt, let Bizarre nut!
I'll have sex with her, and Bizarre will finish himself off by ejaculating
Some, somethin, some'un, some'un, some'un
A group of people saying gibberish or names without any particular meaning or context
