Our House
Slaughterhouse Eminem Skylar Grey Lyrics

I wanna be the best who ever did it
I have a strong desire to achieve greatness and be recognized as the greatest in my craft.

Don't know if that goal is feasible, or it isn't
I am unsure if achieving this goal is possible or not.

But if it is then God, if you're listenin'
If it is indeed possible, I pray to God for the strength and ability to accomplish it.

Please grant me the strength to crush all competition
I ask for the strength and capability to surpass and defeat all my competitors.

You can't blame me for dreaming, I'm a dreamer
I am an ambitious person who dreams big, and it's not fair to criticize me for having those dreams.

And if I'm coming off brash please forgive me
If my confidence and boldness in pursuing my dreams come across as arrogant, I apologize.

But, that's all I want
All I truly desire is to achieve greatness and reach my full potential in my chosen field.

I just wanna be the illest MC (That's all I want)
My sole aspiration is to become the most skillful and impressive MC in the music industry.

The same time being as real as can be
While striving to be the best, I also aim to remain genuine and authentic in my music and persona.

Yo, in my house, the lights out
Within the realm of my music and personal space, there is darkness and uncertainty.

No utilities in the facilities
There is a lack of necessary resources or support to fully succeed in my endeavors.

Feeling my life's 'bout, to wipe out
I have a sense of impending failure or disaster that could potentially eliminate everything I have worked for.

These feelings I'm feeling be killing me
The emotions and doubts I experience are severely affecting me and causing immense distress.

I pull the mic out, can't strike out
When I step up to the microphone, I cannot afford to fail or disappoint in my performance.

Cause if winning is really my enemy
If achieving success becomes a detriment to my well-being or personal relationships, then it becomes a challenge to overcome.

I pull a nine out, blow my mind out
In desperate situations, I may resort to extreme measures or self-destructive behaviors due to the pressures of failure.

Is the end of me really serenity?
I question whether my own demise would bring me the peace and tranquility I seek.

So welcome, to our house
I invite you to enter the world we have created through our music and artistry.

Where no one, comes back out
Once you enter this world, it is difficult to return to your previous state or mindset.

You won't find, comfort
This environment and journey may not offer comfort or familiarity, but it pushes boundaries and demands growth.

When I was a little boy I wanted to be a rapper
From a young age, I had a strong desire to pursue a career as a rapper.

Wanted to be on the radio and snapping pictures after
I aspired to not only hear my music on the radio but also have my image captured and celebrated by fans.

And so I grabbed my pen and pad and scribbled chitter chatter
I eagerly started writing lyrics and expressing my thoughts and ideas on paper, regardless of their initial quality.

It started off wack
My early attempts were not impressive or skillful.

But in the words of a ten year old, my shit was getting phatter
Despite my lack of talent at the time, as a ten-year-old, I believed my skills were improving and becoming better.

I hit the studio at 16, stupid ill
At the age of 16, I entered the recording studio and displayed impressive talent and skill.

Not knowing how the booth would feel, what's ADAT's and two inch reel
Despite my talent, I lacked experience and technical knowledge of the recording process, including the equipment used.

How you ad-lib? What's a punch? I ain't a boxer
I had to learn the techniques of ad-libbing and adding emphasis to my lyrics, and I had no knowledge of punch-ins in the studio.

But I sure enough learned the ropes, look D and Mike you made a monster
With time and guidance from experienced producers D and Mike, I became a formidable and talented artist.

Now everyday's a game of Contra, I got 99 men
Every day feels like a challenging video game, similar to Contra, where I have numerous opportunities to succeed and conquer obstacles.

An infinite amount of rounds inside this mighty fine pen
I possess an endless supply of lyrics and ideas within my creative mind.

This is my dream, don't fuck with it, I'm telling you
My music career is my ultimate dream, and I am fiercely protective of it, warning others not to undermine or interfere with it.

Cause anyone can get dusted as long as production is available
I assert that anyone can be outperformed and overshadowed in this industry, as long as there is quality production and music available to support the artist who surpasses them.

I'm disgusted as a fan, look how niggas sounding, damn
As a listener and fan of hip-hop, I am deeply disappointed and frustrated by the current state of other artists' sound and quality.

Weak head, ya'll suck bad, fuck swag and your kicks from South Japan
I criticize the lack of skill and creativity in other artists, dismissing their reliance on superficial trends and fashion choices.

I'm finna to be the best in this profession
I am determined and fully committed to becoming the greatest in my profession and surpassing all others in skill and success.

I've been invested all my life, so wipe your feet before you step in
I have dedicated my entire life to my craft, so I expect others to show respect and acknowledge my hard work before entering into my world.

In our, house we spit like Sig Sauers
Within our circle and creative space, we deliver our rhymes with powerful and impactful force, likened to the impact of a Sig Sauer firearm.

The way I feel now I could spit for six hours
I currently possess an incredible amount of inspiration and energy, capable of delivering an extensive and impressive freestyle or performance lasting six hours.

Straight, only way to be great, is to dig down
In order to achieve greatness, one must dig deep within themselves and tap into their innate talents and capabilities.

If you can hear this sound inside my head sounds like a fucking drive-by
If one could hear the thoughts and sounds inside my mind, it would be reminiscent of a chaotic and intense drive-by shooting.

That's what the inside of my mind's like
The internal workings of my mind are filled with intense and aggressive thoughts and emotions.

Looking back on my career, even hindsight, tunnel vision, 5 mics
Reflecting on my career, I realize that my singular focus and dedication, even with the passage of time, has earned me the highest praise and recognition in the form of a perfect rating of five microphones, symbolizing excellence.

Never wanted that so bad well I got-ta go mad
I have an intense desire and drive to achieve greatness, to the point where I am willing to embrace madness and push myself to the limits.

Nomad with a notepad
I am constantly on the move, wandering in search of inspiration, always armed with a notepad to capture my thoughts and ideas.

Go Taz, spaz on these ho bags
I unleash my aggression and go all out, displaying ferocity and intensity in my performances and lyrics, especially when confronted with lesser talent.

That bother me, but I never wanna show that
Although I am bothered or affected by criticism or negativity, I strive to never let it show or impact my confidence and drive to succeed.

Just don't act like it ever does
I expect others to not pretend as if negativity or criticism has any real influence or power over me.

Even though you know that there will never come
Despite the knowledge that there will never be a day when someone surpasses me in talent or skill.

A day someone blows past you, never was
There will never come a day when someone exceeds my abilities, as it was never meant to be.

Someone who's as dope as you ever was
No one will ever match my level of talent and greatness, as I have always been destined to be unique and unparalleled.

And you hope that's, true cause the competitor in you
I hold onto the hope that my talent and greatness will be recognized because the competitive nature within me craves that validation.

Couldn't let somebody be better than you
As a competitive person, I cannot accept the possibility of someone being superior to me in skill or achievement.

And you know that, so you don't ever hold back
Because I am aware of this competitive drive, I refuse to hold back or limit myself in any way.

What you gonna go back, to working a regular job?
If I were to hold back or not pursue greatness, it would mean settling for a mundane and ordinary job or lifestyle.

Fuck that, I'm gonna go hard grab on my, gonads
I reject the notion of settling and instead choose to push myself to the extreme, facing challenges head-on, and seizing control of my destiny.

They call me a wigger like Renee Zell
Critics and haters label me as a white person trying to be black, similar to the criticism faced by Renee Zellweger when she portrayed a black character in the film 'Bridget Jones's Diary'.

But I raised hell like a stay-at-home dad
Despite these criticisms, I have caused controversy and disruption, comparable to a stay-at-home dad defying traditional gender roles.

Rap is the only thing that I was ever really, bad to the bone at
Rap is the one aspect of my life where I excel naturally and possess undeniable talent and skill.

Guess I'm similar to, gangrene when I'm, angry then I'm
When I become angry or furious, I become unstoppable and consume everything in my path, like the infectious and destructive nature of gangrene.

Hulk Smash, so much passion but no compassion
I display great strength and intensity, similar to the Hulk, but lack empathy or sympathy in my pursuit of success.

If eyes are the windows to the soul
If one's eyes reflect their inner emotions and character.

Then it's, broken glass and there's no trespassing
The state of my eyes could be described as shattered glass, symbolizing internal turmoil and warning others not to intrude or interfere with my inner thoughts and emotions.
