Scary Movies
Royce Da 5'9 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live from the dungeon, we coming
Y'all best be running, we coming
Y'all don't want none of this gun and
I don't know why y'all keep frontin'
I'mma scare the socks off you for sure the shock stops all you
Lurking in the back like a crook in the black of the bushes
With the rats, with a axe, and the stacks of wood is
By the garage, the Mirage tracks the shadow
My weapon is large with bodies, I'm strapped for battle
My soul is in the crossroads, it hides the feeling
Somewhere deep inside the spirit to rise the killer
I'm too distant to talk, my vicious assault
Is inflicted in parts to slit you and stick in your heart
I got nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Only way I'm dying is up in flames, I'm stuck in the game
Look at you busting ya thang
Shots only get stuck in my frame, I got you not trusting ya aim
I never speak but you can hear me breathe at night
With a hunger and greed for life 'til this eve was right
I'm a true killer, a troop risen to do business
Live on a booth on a river drooped with news clippings
I only come out when it's time to run out and find
An innocent victim inside one house with blinds
I'm Freddie Kruger, Jason and Scream chasing a dream
Looking for a scene to take to the extreme for the mean
You better carry your Uzi's is rare to do me
Everybody's scared to view me, I'm Scary Movies
Y'all want drama? Wanna make a scary movie?
Rappers coming in with their team and carry toolies
You can jump right out of the screen and barely move me
We hard hitting, directing and starring in it
Yo niggas from the Wall don't bleed, Dirty Dozen niggas don't bleed
Royce 5'9" don't bleed, Rock City niggas don't bleed
Live from the dungeon, we coming
Y'all best be running, we coming
Y'all don't want none of this gun and
I don't know why y'all keep frontin'
All this room in this big house you chose the attic
You running slower and slower so you froze in panic
I'm wearing a white mask, black cloak and dagger
You scatter hoping for life, grabbing ropes and ladders
Under this robe, I'm tatted up, automatic'd up
I'm mad as fuck, I'mma kill no matter what
You, live in the wrong house, at the wrong time
You've, answered the call so you all mine
You can't put fear in the heart of the heartless
Got a list of names just don't know which one to start with
At your house, staking it out, posing as carpenters
Looking for closets and house guns with cartridges
I'm low down and stressed, I go around the rest
Of the house looking for Granny to throw down the steps
And when it's your turn - oh you know it's tragic
And the music in the background is so dramatic
I'm tryna lift you off your feet - hope you know gymnastics
Try to, soak the mattress with rope molasses
You try to, cover your head like a prophylactic
Next time somebody calling your phone, don't answer it
Hello? Hello?
Y'all want drama? Wanna make a scary movie?
Rappers coming in with their team and carry toolies
You can jump right out of the screen and barely move me
We hard hitting, directing and starring in it
We making names for each other like the Wayans Brothers
Rock City niggas always name each other
Niggas got crews, don't even claim each other, 2000
The lyrics to Royce Da 5'9"'s song "Scary Movies" are a chilling portrayal of a killer lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike. The opening line poses the question, "What's your favourite scary movie?", setting the stage for a horror-inspired rap. The verses are full of vivid imagery, describing the killer as lurking in the bushes with an axe, stalking his prey, and wearing a white mask and black cloak. The lyrics also touch on themes of revenge, with the killer out for blood and determined to not stop until he achieves his goals.
The chorus urges listeners to join in on the drama and create their own scary movie, with rappers coming in with their own teams and weapons. The lyrics convey a sense of fear and danger, with the killer always one step ahead and always ready to strike. The imagery is graphic and chilling, with the music in the background only adding to the overall eerie atmosphere.
One interesting fact about "Scary Movies" is that it was released in 2000 as a part of the Scary Movie soundtrack. The song was also included on Royce Da 5'9"'s debut album, "Rock City (Version 2.0)." Additionally, "Scary Movies" samples the theme from the classic horror movie Halloween, further adding to its horror-inspired feel.
Another interesting fact is that the song was produced by Eminem, who was a longtime collaborator and friend of Royce Da 5'9" at the time. The two rappers had previously worked together on a number of projects, including Eminem's hit song "Bad Meets Evil."

Live from the dungeon, we coming
We're coming from the darkest, scariest place to scare you
Y'all best be running, we coming
You better run because we're coming for you
Y'all don't want none of this gun and
You don't want any of this violence and guns
I'mma scare the socks off you for sure the shock stops all you
I'm going to scare you so bad that you won't be able to move
Knock ya lox off and chop your watch off you
I'll knock your hair off and chop your watch off too
Lurking in the back like a crook in the black of the bushes
I'm hiding in the shadows waiting to scare you
With the rats, with a axe, and the stacks of wood is
I'm surrounded by rats, holding an axe, near a stack of wood
By the garage, the Mirage tracks the shadow
I'm near the garage, my footprints are hidden, and my shadow is following you
My weapon is large with bodies, I'm strapped for battle
I have a large weapon with me and I'm ready for a battle
My soul is in the crossroads, it hides the feeling
My soul is lost, and I'm hiding my emotions
Somewhere deep inside the spirit to rise the killer
I have a deep desire to kill
I'm too distant to talk, my vicious assault
I'm too far gone to communicate, I'll just attack
Is inflicted in parts to slit you and stick in your heart
I'll hurt you piece by piece until I stab your heart
I got nothing to lose and nothing to gain
I'm already lost, and I don't care about anything anymore
Only way I'm dying is up in flames, I'm stuck in the game
The only way I'll die is if I'm burned alive, I'm trapped in this violent world
Look at you busting ya thang
You're trying too hard to look tough
Shots only get stuck in my frame, I got you not trusting ya aim
You're missing your shots and can't aim because I'm moving too fast
I never speak but you can hear me breathe at night
I'm silent, but you can feel my presence when it's quiet
With a hunger and greed for life 'til this eve was right
I have an insatiable desire for life until I accomplish my goal
I'm a true killer, a troop risen to do business
I'm a skilled murderer, and I'm here to do my job
Live on a booth on a river drooped with news clippings
I live near a polluted river, surrounded by old newspaper clippings
I only come out when it's time to run out and find
I only leave my hiding place when it's time to find a victim to scare
An innocent victim inside one house with blinds
I look for an unsuspecting victim inside a house with closed blinds
I'm Freddie Kruger, Jason and Scream chasing a dream
I'm like the terrifying movie characters Freddie Kruger, Jason, and the Scream killer, chasing my dream of scaring people
Looking for a scene to take to the extreme for the mean
I'm searching for a way to scare people even more than usual
You better carry your Uzi's is rare to do me
You'll need a powerful weapon to stand a chance against me
Everybody's scared to view me, I'm Scary Movies
People are afraid of me, I'm like a character in the Scary Movie franchise
Y'all want drama? Wanna make a scary movie?
Do you want to experience some drama and pretend to be in a scary movie?
Rappers coming in with their team and carry toolies
Other rappers are joining us, armed with guns
You can jump right out of the screen and barely move me
You can attempt to scare me, but it won't work
We hard hitting, directing and starring in it
We're making this movie with fierce intensity, and we're the stars
Yo niggas from the Wall don't bleed, Dirty Dozen niggas don't bleed
My friends from the Wall and the Dirty Dozen gang are tough and don't bleed easily
Royce 5'9" don't bleed, Rock City niggas don't bleed
I, Royce Da 5'9", and my friends from Rock City are also tough and don't bleed easily
All this room in this big house you chose the attic
You had a whole house to choose from, but you decided to go to the creepy attic
You running slower and slower so you froze in panic
You're getting tired from running and are now too scared to move
I'm wearing a white mask, black cloak and dagger
I'm dressed in a classic horror movie outfit - a white mask, a black cloak, and a dagger
You scatter hoping for life, grabbing ropes and ladders
You're trying to escape by grabbing onto ropes and ladders
Under this robe, I'm tatted up, automatic'd up
Underneath my cloak, I have tattoos and many guns
I'm mad as fuck, I'mma kill no matter what
I'm angry and will kill no matter what
You, live in the wrong house, at the wrong time
You're unlucky enough to live in the wrong house at the worst possible time
You've, answered the call so you all mine
By answering the phone, you've become my target and I'm in control
You can't put fear in the heart of the heartless
I'm so tough, even fear cannot affect me
Got a list of names just don't know which one to start with
I have a list of potential victims, but I can't decide where to start
At your house, staking it out, posing as carpenters
I'm watching your house, pretending to be a carpenter
Looking for closets and house guns with cartridges
I'm searching for weapons in your house, like guns with cartridges
I'm low down and stressed, I go around the rest
I'm always nervous and on edge, looking for my next victim
Of the house looking for Granny to throw down the steps
I'm searching every part of your house, including the upstairs where your elderly family members may be
And when it's your turn - oh you know it's tragic
When it's your turn to face me, you know it's going to end badly
And the music in the background is so dramatic
There's intense, scary music playing in the background as we approach the climax of the film
I'm tryna lift you off your feet - hope you know gymnastics
I'm going to scare you so bad that you'll jump and need to use your gymnastics skills
Try to, soak the mattress with rope molasses
I'll try to tie you up on the bed with thick, sticky molasses
You try to, cover your head like a prophylactic
You'll try to protect yourself by covering your head, like wearing a condom
Next time somebody calling your phone, don't answer it
You'll regret answering the phone when I called
Hello? Hello?
This is the last thing you'll hear before I get you
You better carry your Uzi's is rare to do me
You'll need a powerful weapon to stand a chance against me
Everybody's scared to view me, I'm Scary Movies
People are afraid of me, I'm like a character in the Scary Movie franchise
We making names for each other like the Wayans Brothers
We're making a name for ourselves, like the successful Wayans Brothers comedy family
Rock City niggas always name each other
My friends from Rock City always give each other nicknames
Niggas got crews, don't even claim each other
Other gangs have members who don't even claim each other as part of the same crew
