Y'all the reason I might do this All My Life
I've been feeling underrated All My Life
They been telling me I wouldn't make it All My Life
I been building energy from hatred All My Life
Nigga All My Life, Yea, Yea, All my Life
Never crossed they mind now I got 'em thinking twice
If you bet against me know you 'bout to pay that price
Jealousy and envy in your heart I'm cutting ties

Nah I just can't let it slide, I've been walked on All My Life
Look, Who keep it real with you?
Never know until you go through it, stuck in the mud who build with you?
True friends what they show for it, 4th down they gon' go for it, or turnover
We'll see who still here when the enemy getting a lot closer
Niggas be giving the cold shoulder, when that injury happen?
You sit on the side running your mouth, you want me to pass it
I hope you recover the rest of the season I'm being the captain
Kevin Ware I'm about to be snapping, I'm well aware this is March Madness
Like A.I. we ain't talking 'bout practice, y'all sitting right on the bench
Stop all the cap when writing your raps then you might start in this bitch

Line by Line Meaning

Once I got here you knew
You were aware of my troublemaking nature as soon as I arrived

I was trouble, I can't fake it
I am naturally inclined to cause problems, it's just who I am

When I see the crowd
I thrive off the attention of a large group of people

I know that they want more
I am confident in my ability to entertain and keep people interested

(and I want to make them want more)
My ultimate goal is to satisfy their desire for more entertainment

But I don't think that you could handle
I doubt your ability to handle the chaos and excitement that I bring with me

Baby, I want to start an scandal
I want to cause a stir and be the center of attention, even if it means causing controversy

Like no other, be my lover
I am looking for someone who can handle my wild nature and join me in my adventures

And at the end, you'll be invited
If you stick with me through all the excitement, I promise to reward you with something special

To the factory of love
I will bring you to a place full of passion and romance

The pleasure is coming to you my darling
You can expect to experience great pleasure and intimacy with me

(and yes I got it)
I have what it takes to please you and keep things interesting

You don't want me to get what's mine
You are trying to prevent me from achieving my goals and desires

But I got it all my life (x3)
Despite your attempts to hold me back, I have always managed to get what I want in life

So take a sit honey
Just relax and enjoy the show

'cause it's about to start
Things are about to get exciting and unpredictable

And when it comes to end
When the excitement ends

I don't wanna break your heart
I don't want to hurt you or disappoint you in any way

(but it's already falling apart)
But I know that things are not going to end well, despite my best efforts

You don't want
You are trying to prevent me from achieving my goals and desires

But I got it
But despite your efforts, I have what it takes to succeed

But I own it, all the night
I am in control of the situation and I will ensure that the night goes exactly as planned

And, you're invited to the factory of love
You are welcome to join me in my world of passion and romance

(factory of love)
A place where love and intimacy are the main focus

But I know how it goes
I know that things will not end well

And I'll just keep running 'round the world
But I will continue to seek out new adventures and experiences, no matter the consequences

And I know you very well
I understand your concerns and doubts about me

So I'm saying farewell
So I am saying goodbye, as I embark on my next adventure

This scene, and the one with Wilson likening his pain to House's, gives us deep insight as to what House goes through 24/7. And yet he pranks friends, makes them see life for what it really is, and saves people on the side.

To see people feeling for Wilson because of one event and people treating House like a jerk despite being in pain for years is definitely frustrating.

Sv

4y↑62

Ezekial Ogle One event? , Don't make cancer sound mundane dude and house is a jerk to everyone intentionally. People have recovered from the kind of debilitating condition that house suffers from yet he chose to suffer because he knew he couldn't get better without compromising on his intellect and his work . In the end house became a selfless person and sacrificed everything for Wilson .

Fionnbarr Casey

True... but supposedly he was a jerk even before the leg pain. According to his most prolific ex Stacey.
And I agree, you (*probably unintentionally*) did make a terminal cancer diagnosis seen smaller than it is by calling “one event”

Am I the only one who seen the entire show? All the eventS that happened during his life? Being abused as a child? Cast aside every moment growing up because he wasn't average, through every test, exam, university, work place? Being shot? Assaulted? Ignored? Hated? Left by the people he cared about?
The leg was only a small part of House's continuos suffering.

Javier

@Jessica Brack Agree. I feel people totally miss the fact that House is a genius, and being a genius, although desired by many, is almost always an incredibly shitty position to be in. You're an outcast from the get to. Sure, you may get respect, but love? Forget about it. And that is just one side of the issue imo.

Jost Rodríguez sometimes pain is not only emotional but physical, Idk what the OP is going through but after months of physical pain struggle, and now falling into the struggle of opioid withdrawals I can finally truly understand what House was going through. Sometimes you don’t get to let go when it’s physical pain... you just have to live with it, or unless there’s an actual solution. I’m lucky to have surgery done which took away some of my pain at the moment but for a lot more chronic patient there isn’t... thanks for your comment though

Also wilson's character ,in the pilot he states that in terminal cancer patients those who have their families and friends are pretty much okay with dying and those who are alone arr the ones that expierence the whole grieve ...its not fact of dying what scares the people but the fact of dying alone what thrills them the most.

It cant be a coincidence, they planned from the begining that wilson would die from cancer and he would be afraid from dying alone

Taub’s reaction when House yells at him is priceless. He was taken back because he was expecting just another passive aggressive remark, not a real display of emotion. Great acting.

jmackmcneill

Yeah, you are so used to the back-and-forth banter, the realisation that ONCE without meaning to, Taub managed to hit a nerve.
In a show full of people spouting semi-philosophical BS all the time, the Taub character was brilliant for being: "Yeah, I'm just here for a paycheck, but I still have principles.", it was just kind of amazing to watch him dig an ever deepening hole in his personal life and never redeem himself.

TheTrueCallen

31w↑1

I think it's made all the better because the fellows along with us the viewers know Houses stance on suicide. If you're going to die a painful agonizing death from something terminal that there is no hope against, he doesn't hold it against anyone. He'll even help. His promise to 13, she was so shocked, stunned even, that she spent moments studying him trying to see if he was serious or not before she realized he was. But he's staunchly against suicide just because things are hard or your depressed or just don't want to live anymore or whatever reason. So to see him openly and emotionally admit he's contemplated ending his misery here is a shock to us the viewer just as much as Taub. It was a brilliant bit of acting on both actors parts. Scenes like this and the emotional weight they carry are what define House as a show and make it one of the best ever

What always kills me about this scene is that they're in a hospital (a place to heal sick people) and upon hearing someone yell out "I'm in chronic pain and constantly have suicidal thoughts" everyone's reaction is to look away like they didn't hear anything and let House walk out onto the street.

House "moving forward" presents a very interesting scenario that people don't seem to want to address. On one hand, he always resolves the actual hardships that he faces, like how Cuddy left the hospital while House kept working there even after prison. On the other hand, though, five or ten or thirty years down the line, House will also always look back and realize that going through those hardships changed him as a person. He actually has a line about this exact thing, where he admits that going through the blood clot and deciding to keep his leg ultimately made him a meaner and lonelier person.

So really, what even is "moving forward?"

KINDLE

4y↑146

Hands down the most powerful scene in this series. Still grips me to this day. God I miss House so much. No show has this attitude towards the truth.

Salem Anna Smith

2y↑20

This scene never fails to make me cry, no matter how many times I rewatch this episode. I can see why House is upset. Yes, it’s Wilson’s choice. But House views it as Wilson betraying him. Even though House doesn’t show it very often, Wilson is the only reason why House still continues to go on. He said it himself, without Wilson he has nothing. I can also see where House is coming from when he talks about his pain. House has been through trauma and heartbreak ever since he was a boy, and yet people still treat him like crap. I understand it’s not an excuse to treat people rudely, and believe me I in no way condone everything he does, but that was House’s defense mechanism. House is actually a good person, he just pretends to be a jackass in order to protect himself. Wilson is suffering and everyone is helping him (which he deserves) but they wouldn’t once do that for House even after all the sacrifices he’s made for his team. They all let House (including Wilson) nearly kill himself while he was abusing pain pills. Now I know what some may think “you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.” I disagree. Everyone wants to be helped, they are just scared to admit it. I’ve always related a lot to House ever since I saw the first episode. In fact the reason why I started watching the series (besides the good reviews) was because one of my friends told me I reminded them of House. I thought they meant it as a compliment or a sarcastic comment. Turns out they meant it because I’m always “rude.” I’ve been through a lot of similar things House has went through, not exactly the same events but the same upbringing. Abused, assaulted, outcasted, bullied, etc. Therefore I’ve always found it easy to emphasize with him. House is one of the few characters who will always have a special place in my heart, because he was really one of the only characters I ever really could relate to.

Joshua Johnson

5y↑522

I can definitely feel House on this one. In kind of a twisted sense it’s like betrayal to him. He lives his life everyday in pain and despite wanting to quit he continues on, with Wilson being really his only reason. And now that Wilson dabbled in his shoes and wants to give up, it’s almost like a stab in the back to House that he’s just going to leave him alone despite all the shit he’s been put through. I don’t think either one is necessarily right or wrong in this situation, but it really is a contrast between the two.

This is one of the few times in the entire series that House raises his voice in genuine anger. He’s been snappy, sarcastic, rude, demeaning, annoyed, and downright cruel but it’s one of the few times we see anger from him.

TheTrueCallen

31w↑2

Like Cuddy told Wilson after the "good thing you failed to become a mother" jab. People don't realize that house does have a filter, and how much he does hold back. So when we do get these burst of raw emotion from him it's so much more impactful. There's a great scene in the earlier seasons, where they're treating a woman that is hearing voices due to an illness. And House and Foreman are talking, and House glances at the patients room and notices the babies bed is empty. And he pretty much instantly jumps into gear. He throws his cane to the side and the rush of adrenaline, he and Foreman bust in. It's not necessarily the same type of emotion. But it shows how much he does and can care. It's a really powerful scene as well imo.

Not a usual commenter but this scene keeps me going. Despite the fact it's actors and depression can be hidden a lot more than an infarction in the leg, I always remember that you just keep going. For me that statement is so powerful no matter what the pain is.
Life is pain.
I wake up every morning I'm in pain.
You know how many times I wanted to give up?
How many times I thought about ending it?
Even with actors it's nice to know people get it, so the rest of us keep going

It really does. House secretly respects Wilson more than he lets on and so wants him to be stronger. House is already incredibly cynical but a selfless oncologist getting terminal cancer is enough to make anyone jaded. And House is also a very devout Atheist. He believes this is it and that Wilson will be gone forever and so he should fight.

A scene I connected with A LOT. I was born with seizures and are incurable. Get them a lot and A LOT of what House said I relate to as well, even the "giving up and ending it" part. We hide our pain and people think we aren't in pain. People think at times we are being jerks, but we are in pain. I did what House did a couple of times and snapped at a person/people and got the same reactions of "oh yeah, you are in a pain that I will never know or understand".

I've been suffering with severe chronic pain for few years now... That scene really hit me hard... What can you do when all treatment options have run out and all you've got left is the knowledge that you're destined to live a life with pain forever... I think I'd prefer to be an addict than to deal with this agony...

Dar S

You keep going. Addiction won't help your pain, it will just change its shape. And then you'll have two things to make your life hell. Let me put it like this; if you had the choice, you would never have given pain any power over you. So why would you do the same thing for addiction? It's a false promise. It's a lie. It's a demon, if you let it in.

I know I've thought about screaming this at the top of my lungs about a billion times. Anyone who has not dealt with chronic pain every single day has no idea what it's like to go through life and try to be happy for others who are enjoying what you used to enjoy doing and doing the things you dreamed of eventually doing.

Careful! If you did that to me or anyone with Autism, well… in the words of Markiplier!

Fusion

As someone who is nearly always in nerve pain or back pain, that scene almost made me tear up. People often dismiss chronic pain since people with it have it every day. What they miss, is that we miss out on things, we are always ill or frustrated, and we stay in pain that isn’t fixable.

I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bones disease), and I’m constantly in a state of pain. I break a bone once or twice a month if not more, I have constant muscle aches, severe nerve pain, and nothing helps it. I’m on 8 different medications and they barely put a dent in my pain.

I’ve wanted to end it several times, but something inside stops me from doing it. Is it fear, family, or just a glimmer of will to live? I don’t know.

To people reading this I’m going to be honest, the pain might not get better. It’s all dependent on your body and condition. With that being said, don’t give up. There are people like us, who live in pain every day. One day you will find your person, and that will be the thing that keeps you going.

I think the saddest point is when you actually can’t remember what it was like to wake up without pain. Days, months, years go by and you just carry on through every single blaze of pain, but can you ever get a modicum of sympathy?? No. You force yourself to do things to please others, you paint a smile on everyday, use humour as a shield to hide the darkness that is always inside you because at the end of the day if my giving out happiness is the only thing to come out of the torment I’ll take it.

It's sad but I like how the background doctors are barely phased by House's confession. They've worked by him for years and don't need to be a psychologist or even close for it to be obvious that House hates his life, himself or some combination of the 2.

When House walks out, notice thar he moves his leg completely, like he actually walks, its not until the scene with Park, after he gets off the elevator, that he starts limping again. Thats adrenaline for you kids

I relate alot here... im in emotional and mental pain almost everyday... it was caused by my moms death on january 3rd of 2017 from 9/11 caused cancer, all the while i thought she was gonna make it out and come back home from the hospital.. but no.. i didn't even know she was dying, i just thought she was really sick from her 3rd cancer relapse and treatment and that it was some side effect... but no.. i learned after her death it was metastatic cancer,
Her breast cancer spread to other parts of her body, her doctors thought it was just normal breast cancer she had, but no.. it was much worse thanks to the toxic dust at ground zero after 9/11.. anyway, after she died, ive been dealing with mental and emotional pain, i had thoughts of quitting and running away and or thoughts of suicide, because she always had my back, she was always supportive. I felt lost, i felt hurt, i felt sorrow, it hurt. Also after she died, i turned to food and lounging around, thus i gained an immense amount of weight... i was losing weight when she was alive, i was about to go down to 200 pounds when she was alive... but now... my weight is 404 pounds (originally 411), but thankfully im excercising and eating healthy. Im trying to shed this body caused by my sorrow.

Unfortunately i also deal with pain now, after excercising, im usually very sore and have muscle pain. Sometimes i wanna just quit, but i cant do that. My mom wouldnt want that. Life is pain.. but it can also be a life full of care and love from other people.

I have been hit on my motorcycles three times now, before anyone says give up riding; I say give up living, on my bike I have no stress, no worries everything goes away and I can reset. Both my knees are shot out have to get two full knee replacements, my back is completely shot out, my left shoulder is held together with a titanium plate and 8 screw's. This scene hits home for me cause I can't just give up, do myself in cause my daughter and wife need me.

Can’t imagine what it’s like for your friend but remembering that life does have more things to it other than just pain could help alleviate it, a tangible goal so to speak. It’s how I keep going.

Say what you want about Taub: about his adultery and other behaviors. But the man attempted suicide once and survived. Watched a friend and a colleague commit suicide right beside him at work. Worked under a man who was suicidal a lot of the time who had to watch his friend give up on life almost due to cancer. The man has seen a lot of dark shit. Can you blame the man for wanting to hide inside as many vaginas as he could?

I had back surgery because of the pain. The pain stop for a while but the surgery wear off and the pain goes down to my leg, same leg as house and my pain force me to walk with a cane. I don't remember what surgery it was, it was years ago and watching house helps me. I'm living in chronic pain just like house and I'm only 26 years old I wish my pain stop but like house said you always get what you want

Helen Moran I can relate with your situation. I’m 25 and have been dealing with chronic back pain for the last 3 years. I’m not as spry and energetic as before, and it kills me when people tell me I’m too young to be in pain or when they can’t even begin to comprehend how much agony I’m in. I’m just grateful i can still stand and walk, but the pain reminds me that it’s still there and not going away

Sarvonis

I understand that constant pain ... I have atrophy in my neck and back from an old injury causing the nerves in them to fire randomly making my muscles seize and tighten 24/7.
The pain is excruciating... Every day I wake up feeling like someone is ripping out my back and stabbing me in my neck all through the entire day.
People simply do not understand the level of pain others go through unless they feel it for themselves.

All I can say is never give up! The pain won't stop, but that doesn't mean you have to let your mind to dwell on the pain 24/7. You control your pain not the other way around.
I find punching a punching bag has allowed me to focus the pain in a positive manor. You just need to find something that works for you to distract your mind from it and that also help you improve your body!

For people laughing at mental health disorders and making this scene entirely about physical pain: how about we exchanged places and you start experiencing a different kind of pain, like depression... oh wait, depression is just a symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder. Combine depression with self-harm, paranoia, wide mood swings lasting from a few hours to a few days, which can include intense emotions, irritability, shame or anxiety. Yeah, let's trade places. :)
