[Everlast]
What, you think it can't happen?
Soul Assassins, two-thousand, word
It goes somethin' like this
I'm Vision-Quest, Fresh Fest era terror
Krush Groovie like a low budget movie
I'm Wild Style like Lee Quiñones
Stop ridin' on my cajones

I talk with a speak that's much unique
While you desperately seek for that Susie freak
Yo, word to Rob One he used to like the big ladies
My name's Everlast I started back in the eighties like
All up in your nostril, actin' hostile, thirteenth apostle
Going postal, holy ghost mode
While you walkin' on the host strow actin' bicoastal
Bitch, try to play the middle, snitch, wind up in the hospital
Cat on a hot tin roof with no fiddle
Put your money in the middle get broke like coal

[Chorus]
Two deadly assassins makin' the fall
I'm Real, I'm Everlast and I'm takin' 'em all
Just when you thought it was safe to make a tape
Two deadly assassins sealin' your fate

[B-Real]
I spit out the fire you won't know what hit
Watch me lace you up quicker than the joint gets lit
I got years in this shit what do you got a couple?
If you gotta hustle, what do you want, trouble?
Lookin' at the two who go way back like chucks (way back)
With a hand on the pump by the big black trucks (fools)
You can't trust a soul in the City of Angels
The strange hoes want a piece look at these lame hoes
I stained those with hot blood and changed clothes
And main fools who want to rock the same clothes
And use the same flows, these unoriginals
Niggas, all of a sudden if anyone wants to run up
You get chastised and baptised and blood
When the gat lies it don't matter, you scatter
You run, you ungrateful most hateful leech niggas
Swallow in your misery I'm out of reach niggas

[Chorus]
Two deadly assassins makin' the fall
I'm Real, I'm Everlast and I'm ready to brawl
Just when you thought it was safe to make a tape
Two deadly assassins sealin' your fate
Two deadly assassins makin' the fall
I'm Real, I'm Everlast and I'm takin' 'em all

Just when you thought it was safe to make a tape
Two deadly assassins sealin' your fate

Overall Meaning

In the song "Deadly Assassins" by Everlast, the rapper speaks about his experience as a part of the Soul Assassins in the early 2000s. Everlast highlights his skills as a lyricist and his unique style of speaking while criticizing those who try to imitate his rapping. He describes his position and skills as a "thirteenth apostle" and talks about being in "holy ghost mode" while others are walking on the "host strow" and pretending to be bicoastal. The second verse sees B-Real enter the scene, and he talks about the hustle and the problems with trusting anyone in the City of Angels.

The song mentions references to hip-hop music from the 80s through the 90s, such as the Fresh Fest and the Krush Groove movie. Everlast's choice of words is clever and full of wordplay, which makes the song interesting to listen to. The song has a raw sound that is typical of the Hip-Hop genre, with a heavy bassline and strong lyrics that make it an exciting listen for any hip-hop fan.

This song is not called "how I roll" it's also not called "birthday cake jaunt"...let's pretend to go to prison for a moment and try to think of real reasons why we would want to listen to music like this and why it conforms to inverted modes of thought contrary to it's lyrical content when considered suggestion of sorts and subcontent and maybe even a conversation in another language...and let's think of how dangerous that could be and why creativity....even if totally made up and imaginary should not be a redeeming kind of prompt nor coax that we should familiarize or even creatively institutionalize ourselves with any kind of pro-criminal or pro-post criminal or post correctional psuedo corporal character or it's influence and how society doesn't recognize this kind of character so it tries to process it as it is suggested through art and promotion that this character is a success and contributor to society in a real and binding way. Consider that maybe if you could develop a relationship with this kind of hero or antihero that maybe in your mind...in your psyche...if you only allowed it space there that it could develop its own conciousness and it's own ethics and it's own vocabulary and eventually take over and drift into your own..perhaps without you even knowing...we know this can happen when Americans are slowly exposed to foreign languages and accents...they wil evolve to appear in use with English and eventually a dialectic influence occurs...this has occured in America as well internationally when Americans relocate abroad...new orleans, new York, California, even in places like Hawaii and Kentucky these types of verbal and accent based influences can be seen to shift the dynamic and evolve how we speak...this isn't in as much about how we speak as the remaining idea that if we do not assert an identity singular and maintain it...we are in fact inserting identity and the end result of input of so many different characters with different stories and backgrounds and real though artistically created or motivated...is a kind of hosting of at the ready through practice of recitation of lyric and thier stylings through voice and dialect and didactic approach is actually a kind of host for a prompt of behaviors and regional application and anti-ism as these characters and thier modes are often recognizable and blocked from being accepted as stereotypes...for example you wouldn't easily make the associated use of this content and it's context with a modernly associated black social group...if doesn't blend well and it would be noticed immediately as fraudulent...what you thing it stands for or represent is hip hop and a notoriously black ethic in America...but you'd be mistaken...it actually poses as a form of trickle down or force bleed in that black Americans can refuse to speak with slang or ebonics or gangster or correctional ism and schism of language in thier vocalisations and when this occurs it reveals that many of them refuse to listen to and accept these kinds of musics because it is directly associated with black failures and black racism and an irregular mode of perpetrating one has power and strength...this often is noted to bleed through in whites who don't identify with themselves or are over exposed to media of the same nature of who don't have legitimate positive influences that have an intellectual association to help increase verbalizations and modes of positive and successfully creative or objective ways of speaking. The suggestions are made and are obviously there....the associated act or representation is a real one of personal experiences as well...these kinds of artists we're represented as disagreeable, violent, self agrandizing, self promotingly incongruent with society or making exception to some nationalist or international agenda of congruency. Specifically here the individual was associated with a hip hop based version of white power and pride and an establishment and reconnectivity with Irish Scottish English nationalist influence and maybe even thier internal connections to gang based platforming and participation and influence as a member of "house of pain" in the early 1990s...is there a positive turn there? Is any negative association in acts related really a positive turn? Or just another story of how negative these ideas and person's specifically are? Being abused within gangs or cultural or ethnically related groups until you are eventually bounced out or your association is deepened as gangs may abuse members to demonstrate that they are family and that family doesn't represent itself as gangsters or criminals...in this way it can allow "gang families" to develop into business associated groups for various reasons...drug smuggling, industrial alignments to channel funds legitimate or otherwise, or simply to host and adapt and delete psuedo members so as to turn the bias of society on its edge and force or coerce ethical questions or examinations like these so to orient us all into a psuedo legal examination mode so we are all accidentally pursuant of the law and order and may put ourselves in harm's way? There's really no telling honestly...these kinds of developer are meant to install and disappear or represent a redeeming of a culture or cult or ethnicity that was previously installed or burried within the individual. This is a highly manipulative way of simply adding to population. This is a common mode of re-education or brainwashing by social means through negative reinforcement or false rewards that you are worthless and you don't know who you are and so it's up for debate and you can be overtaken from without because there's no standard within. That is also the effect of music itself. It is a mechanical performance referencing naturally occuring sounds voiced or occuring in nature. There's no other framing for sound on this Earth or in the universe. None for voicing or vocabulary and none or object related sounds either. This obviously since there is no other life form in this universe nor on earth whom speaks or mechanically makes a sound. So, we have all the evidence pointing the idea and fact that music is illigitimate. Especially when it transitions from an instrument based stimulation for hosting dancing and social congrigation and congruencies into messages of identity or entity or congruency or even incongruencies or problems. I'm not picking on one style of music over another but there are some signs that there are variables to consider...it also may be true that congruencies with negative behavior may be hidden from the musical venue and audible evidences...drug use, gang membership, industrial curruption, or antisocial behavior or character may be part of being in the band or group itself and not the music or lyrics. This is commonplace as well and bands may even be a front for direct and specific criminal activity. Allowing members to scan audiences and locales for goods or services complicit with criminal activity they may seek or desire connection with. They may also see endeavors to collect income from making music and entertainment as a legitimate way of robbing society and even specific people and groups within society. If detainment and entertainment can be assumed related then we are always one or the other and that may be the goal. Religion uses a similar platform to coax membership and ritual participation...are you afraid to join? Are you embarrassed? Are you in respect of order? Do you understand the commitment and goals of this relationship to the church and what it requires of you? No. Most often not. The same goes for music...but we have disbelieved the real standards of knowledge here...so we make a disposable commodity of it...and likewise that comes from the same idea and views we hold of correction in our institutions and prisons. Also this has transitioned into opinions on the military as well...in most cases you'll remember music wether you like it or not...in my opinion that's not good..why do people accept it? Because they would rather be packed with extra identity and use the content after they can disambiguate it from the creator and sender than go without and seem or be considered stupid. That's called embarrassment and greed and being buggered by the issues. It's hard to stay clear of influence...it's harder to eliminate it. I think we are worse than lost in it...but found in it and clearly unchanged despite the effect and worsened for it as a being and person...being all...knowing all...but having done so little...and needing to...that we fail to see a value in life without pretending or rendering acts just to have something to ride upon as promotion we even exist and can function beyond asking what we do or why if we aren't these created spin offs of art or media or crime or industry. Which we aren't...but is there anything left...no..not really...that's the way they want it and like it and they don't care...or they use it ..to promote they do care ..who are they? The lost and found...the bottom and top...or anyone anywhere in between...it's a great trick...but what do we do when we can't like it or not like it and it won't change? Automate? It seems we have no real choice at all. The technology was not checked or feared or prevented from perverting us. Fact.

Samantha Allman I don’t know your age but yes this is Everlast off his 3rd solo album “Eat at Whiteys” he is also the leader of House of Pain “Jump Around”, Whitey Ford is (Everlast), La Coka Nostra, Warpornindustries, Sam he was my idol in High school he’s 4 yrs older than me, I know him and House of Pain, Cypress Hill, & Funkdoobiest are the original Soul Assasins (Hence the song name). He has a singing career but he is the original white rapper starting in 1988 under Ice T’s Rhyme syndicate. An album was put out at 17. This album has a cool song called “ I can’t move/video. Sorry, but I’m in the business and Irish which we celebrate with House of Pain in Boston or New York. Btw new Everlast album coming out 9/7/18 already preordered. First single is on here “The Culling”. So much more including movies but hon Everlast, & Whitey Ford is the same.. his real name is Erik Shrody. Take care.

Samantha Allman Are you ok? You know he is a hip hop artist don’t you? I spelled it out for you and he is one of the best, unique rappers ever. He came out with What it’s like after a heart attack in ‘98. That album is half singing/half rap. The 10 years before was all rap the good shit listed below. He’s all hip hop even his singing. Not a good style for him? It is his style! Here’s when he was 17. https://youtu.be/W8f-6siFakk

House of Pain (Everlast) https://youtu.be/XhzpxjuwZy0

Do some homework and get the knowledge he can hit you hard with a rhyme and sing a ballad. It doesn’t matter what you think it’s what it is. Peace
