Slaughterhouse Lyrics

You herbs we merged, we're an alliance
We have come together and formed a strong partnership

We fight fire with flamethrowers, why would you try us?
We respond to challenges with even greater force

We an outfit, equivalent to voltron's
We are a united and powerful force, like Voltron

That boy crooked I is equivalent to four arms
Crooked I is incredibly skilled and capable

Joell Ortiz is the body
Joell Ortiz is a vital and integral part of the group

The cannibal slash killer, kill you then eat your body
Joell Ortiz is metaphorically ruthless and devouring, overpowering his opponents

Joe Budden is the pair of legs
Joe Budden is an important and influential member, providing support and momentum

He runs shit alongside I, the apparent head
Joe Budden and I are in charge and control the situation

I am the general, bow now
I am the leader, demanding respect and obedience

Fuck saluting!
We don't care about traditional displays of respect and authority

I don't really think y'all niggas get it
I don't believe you fully understand the power and skill of our group

Run up on your with an army it is
If you confront us, you will be facing a large and formidable force

On until it's done, finished
We won't stop until we have accomplished our goals

You got a problem with any one of my slaughters
If you have an issue with any member of our group

Then y'all niggas can come with it
Feel free to challenge us, if you dare

Me and joey, we a perfect fit
Joe Budden and I complement each other perfectly

He like starting shit, I like ending shit
Joe Budden is confrontational, while I am decisive and focused on concluding conflicts

I don't squash the beef, I don't bend a bit
I refuse to back down or compromise in a conflict

It ain't intricate
It's not complicated or difficult to understand

I'm gon' shoot your stupid ass
I will use violence against you

You too could laugh, you gon' die smiling
Even in death, you will experience the consequences of your actions

Try wilding, I get hostile then I'm violent
If you provoke me, I will respond aggressively and with force

I don't make threats nigga I promise
I don't make empty threats, I follow through on my intentions

My style is stalin mixed with sick lyrics
My style is powerful and ruthless, combined with impactful and compelling lyrics

If you hear it, it'll lift your spirit
If you listen to my music, it will uplift and inspire you

Turn your appearance into a disappearance
My music can have such a profound impact that it can make you vanish or transform

Di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, di, ding
This repeated sound signifies the end of a section or shift in focus

I fuck with nothing but gangstas
I only associate and align myself with tough and fearless individuals

Nothing but hustla niggas, sound off, sound off, hut!
Everyone in my circle is hardworking and ready for action

I fuck with nothing but my clique
I only trust and support those in my close-knit group

Nothing but hot shit, follow me, sound off, sound off, hut!
We only produce and deliver exceptional music, join us and make some noise

I put my money on my clique, hot shit
I invest my resources and bet on the success of my group, confident in our abilities

Coming out the barrel of my fifth
My music is powerful and impactful, like a gunshot from a firearm

I got a raw flow, and I stay hungry more so
I have an authentic and unfiltered style, and I remain fiercely ambitious

Guess that's why I'm the torso
That's why I am the central and essential part of the group

I pour sweat when I perform shows
I give my all and exert myself physically during live performances

What I record goes down as the best, but the vets won't let that torch go
My recorded music is recognized as top-quality, but established artists are reluctant to pass on the torch

Y'all could keep it, they got flashlights now
You can hold onto the old ways, but new and brighter talents are emerging

And flamethrowers, and I got one on my back right now
There are even more powerful and aggressive individuals, and I am prepared to fight with them

Remain focused, that's what I tell myself now and then
I constantly remind myself to stay concentrated and driven

Don't want to go back to that block like when variation defends
I don't want to return to my old lifestyle, where conflicts and disagreements were resolved aggressively

Uh-oh, my stomach growls again, I ain't none of you cowards friends
I am motivated by hunger and ambition, and I don't associate with weak or fearful individuals

Every human out of my sight before I count to ten
I expect anyone who is not strong or capable to leave immediately, or face the consequences

I'm hungry like I never ate
I have a relentless drive and desire for success

Set a table up with knives, forks and spoons, I'm 'bout to get a plate
I am preparing to feast and enjoy the rewards of my hard work

All these sweet dummies looking me like a pepper steak
These naive and foolish individuals are underestimating the power and danger I possess

Means we never separate, we ain't married
Our group is united and inseparable, but we don't have the same level of commitment as a marriage

Jab it every time I touch a pen, I sort of set a date
Each time I write and create music, I am establishing a new moment or opportunity

I'll devastate your career, look I'm a demonstrate
I will completely ruin and destroy your career, and I will prove it through my actions

Let me get a good breath take before I regulate (takes breath) okay
Let me pause and take a breath before I impose my authority and control

Bye bye you guys, don't try to rhyme
Goodbye to all of you, don't attempt to compete with me in the world of rap

Cause line for line
When it comes to lyrical skill and wordplay

What I design is mine and mine
The creative and artistic content I produce is unique and belongs to me

My joint's divine, meaning right behind
My music is exceptional and remarkable, always pushing the boundaries of greatness

And thank god it shines all the light in mine
I am grateful that my talent and success illuminate my life and career

So my eyes can find a nice dime to grind
My success allows me to attract attractive women and enjoy a fruitful lifestyle

Come here girl, toma, toma, take that, take that
I am calling out to a woman, enticing her to come closer and experience my seductive charm

You rappers chasing popularity by any means, doing silly things
Other rappers are desperate for fame and will do foolish and desperate acts to achieve it

Buying too many size twenty skinny jeans
They are wasting their money on trendy fashion items that don't suit them

The west treat me like I'm really king
The west coast rap community shows me respect and treats me like royalty

I'm pacquiao in the Philippines, illest thing niggas seen
I am seen as the fiercest and most skilled rapper, like Manny Pacquiao in the Philippines

You rappers dressing like you fittin to sing Billie Jean
Other rappers are dressing inappropriately, as if they are about to perform a pop song like 'Billie Jean'

I got to intervene, fuck you I'm a intervene
I have to step in and interrupt their behavior, I don't care what they think

You loud talking, wouldn't kill a thing
They are all talk and no action, incapable of causing any harm

Matter of fact, where's your head nigga? I got the guillotine
In fact, I am in control and ready to execute my opponents

Fuck your Hollywood limousine and rented bling
I disregard their flashy and fake displays of wealth and success

I give you three red dots and I call it a triple beam
I will mark them for elimination and refer to it as a triple beam, a reference to a weapon's laser sight

I'll put your pad on your property, fag
I will invade their territory and claim it as my own, using derogatory language

Properly rob you and hop in the jag
I will steal from them and escape in a luxury car

If you stopping the profit, the glock will be popping your body
If they interfere with my money-making, I will use my gun to harm them

You'll rock a colostomy bag
They will be injured and left with a colostomy bag to collect waste

Shot in the abs, moms will be sad
If they are shot in the abdomen, their mothers will grieve

Pops will be mad, doctor be glad
Their fathers will be angry, while doctors will be pleased with the business they bring

Possibly be stopping the plasma dropping
They are disrupting the flow of money and causing the business to suffer

Clock running out and the outcome bad
Time is running out for them, and the result will be negative

Any one of you niggas fuck with my team
If anyone dares to challenge or disrespect my group

Pretty ass thing with the infrared beam
They will be targeted and eliminated with precision, represented by the infrared beam of a weapon

Sleep on that and get killed while you dream
If they underestimate or ignore us, they will face deadly consequences even in their dreams

Fuck a rap group slaughterhouse a machine
We are not just a rap group, we are a powerful and efficient force

Slaughterhouse, a regime
We are a governing and dominant force in the rap industry

I'm gooned up if you know what I mean
I am armed and ready for any confrontation, if you understand

Everybody want to be down with the king
Everyone wants to associate and align themselves with me, the ruler of this domain

No, no, no, no, no fly zone.
I am declaring this area off-limits and under my control

My one goal's to astonish
My sole objective is to amaze and impress

Tell the President, VP, (you could) notify the congress
Notify the highest levels of government about my talent and impact

They say I'm arrogant, pompous, but I'm honest
I may come across as conceited and proud, but I always speak the truth

I tell them keep an accomplice away from the accomplished
I warn them to avoid involving themselves with successful individuals like me

They still making threats on your highness
They continue to make empty threats towards me, the king

But I tell them where I be, they just ignore the compass
I reveal my true location, but they choose to ignore or dismiss it

I think all your mans' play dough, I don't buy that movie, fandango
I consider your friends to be easily manipulated and unreliable, and I am not interested in playing along

Fans they know that what you a soldier to a general
The fans understand and recognize the difference in power and authority between you and me

Baby steel, got it in a bag, airtight navy seal
I carry a concealed weapon with me at all times, safely secured and ready for use

Tell them little dudes I ain't mad at y'all
I want to assure those who may feel threatened by my success that I have no ill will towards them

College kids like Asher Roth
I see younger and less experienced artists, like Asher Roth, trying to make their way in the industry

Y'all just trying to put food on the table
They are simply attempting to provide for themselves and their loved ones

While I'm a just come and try to snatch it off
Meanwhile, I am aggressively competing and seizing opportunities for success

If it ain't for me
If it wasn't for my influence and impact

Most young dudes would be angrily
Many younger artists would be filled with resentment and frustration

But anxiously awaiting bankruptcy
But they are eagerly and eagerly anticipating financial ruin

Wonder what makes little motherfuckers think they the same as me
I question what delusion leads these individuals to believe they are on my level

I'm synchronized you and your men should die
I am in perfect harmony and coordination, while you and your crew should perish

Learn certain shit you ain't meant to try
There are some skills and actions that are beyond your abilities and should not be attempted

Got the ground covered with some niggas in disguise
I have covert and undercover individuals who are ready to act on my behalf

Best bet is to attempt to fly
Your best option is to try to escape or flee

Shit's a game, you down, you in for life
This is a dangerous and life-altering situation, once you are involved, there is no turning back

Fuck y'all, I ain't got to generalize
I don't need to make generalizations about all of you, I know what I am dealing with

Y'all enabled to write what the pen describes
You don't have the ability or skill to capture and express your experiences with the written word

So when he asked what I meant and why, I tell him
So when someone questions the meaning and motivation behind my lyrics, I provide a clear and confident explanation
