Our House
Slaughterhouse feat. Eminem Skylar Grey Lyrics

I wanna be the best who ever did it
I have the desire to become the greatest in this field

Don't know if that goal is feasible, or it isn't
I'm not sure if achieving this goal is possible or not

But if it is then God, if you're listenin'
In case it is possible, I ask for God's support

Please grant me the strength to crush all competition
I request the strength to outperform and surpass all rivals

You can't blame me for dreaming, I'm a dreamer
I shouldn't be criticized for having aspirations and ambitions

And if I'm coming off brash please forgive me
If my confidence appears arrogant, I apologize

But, that's all I want
To achieve greatness in this field is my sole desire

I just wanna be the illest MC (That's all I want)
My only wish is to become the greatest rapper

The same time being as real as can be
While pursuing greatness, I aim to stay true to myself

These are the kind of words that describe my aura
Mayhem, sickness, murder, and horror encapsulate my essence

Redman I am cut from that cloth
I possess the same qualities and style as Redman

Write a rhyme about me, you a dead man
If someone disrespects me in a song, they will face dire consequences

Learned the whole routine and performed it for my father's friends
I memorized and showcased a rap routine to my dad's acquaintances

Thank God for the one-two cadence
I express gratitude for the rhythmic flow of my rap

Thank God for the lunchroom tables
I appreciate the lunchroom tables where I honed my rap skills

I'm trying to be the sickest nigga, dead or alive
My objective is to become the most talented and respected rapper, regardless of life or death

And if I happen to fall short, it's been one hell of a ride
If I don't achieve my goal, at least I can say my journey has been incredible

Up until the day the sun is you
I will persist in pursuing greatness until the end of my existence

You listening to hip-hop, you in Jay's house
If you appreciate and listen to hip-hop, you are metaphorically inside Jay's house, symbolizing the genre's influence

So welcome, to our house
Welcome to the world of hip-hop and our collective

Where no one, comes back out
Once you enter this world, it's difficult to leave

You won't find, comfort
This world doesn't offer solace

In here, in here, in here
Within this realm of hip-hop

When I was a little boy I wanted to be a rapper
Since childhood, I aspired to become a rapper

Wanted to be on the radio and snapping pictures after
I desired to have my music played on the radio and gain recognition

And so I grabbed my pen and pad and scribbled chitter chatter
I started writing random words and phrases on my notebook

But in the words of a ten year old, my shit was getting phatter
Even at a young age, I believed my rhymes were improving

I hit the studio at 16, stupid ill
At 16, I entered the recording studio with great skills

Not knowing how the booth would feel, what's ADAT's and two inch reel
I lacked knowledge about recording equipment, like ADAT's and two inch reel

How you ad-lib? What's a punch? I ain't a boxer
I was unfamiliar with techniques like ad-libbing and punching in while recording

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

Now everyday's a game of Contra, I got 99 men
Every day feels like the challenging video game Contra, where I have numerous lives

An infinite amount of rounds inside this mighty fine pen
My pen seems to have limitless ammunition and creativity

This is my dream, don't fuck with it, I'm telling you
My rap career is my ultimate aspiration, and I won't tolerate any interference

Cause anyone can get dusted as long as production is available
In the rap industry, anyone can get overshadowed if better production is accessible

I'm disgusted as a fan, look how niggas sounding, damn
As a hip-hop fan, I'm appalled by the lackluster quality of some artists' music

Weak head, ya'll suck bad, fuck swag and your kicks from South Japan
You all have weak mindsets and lack talent; I despise your sense of fashion and your sneakers from South Japan

I'm finna to be the best in this profession
I'm determined to become the greatest in this field

I've been invested all my life, so wipe your feet before you step in
I have dedicated my entire life to this, so show respect when entering my realm

Yo, in my house, the lights out
In this realm of hip-hop, darkness prevails

No utilities in the facilities
The facilities lack the necessary resources and support

Feeling my life's 'bout, to wipe out
I sense that my life is on the verge of being destroyed

I pull the mic out, can't strike out
I grab the microphone and refuse to fail

Cause if winning is really my enemy
If success poses a threat to me

I pull a nine out, blow my mind out
I resort to extreme measures, even risking my own mental well-being

Is the end of me really serenity?
Would my demise provide true peace and tranquility?

Man in my house, it's rap or die
In my realm, one must either succeed in rap or face ruin

Get a piece of that apple pie
I strive to attain a share of success and wealth

Life is a Pharcyde song, and that bitch just passes by
Life is fleeting, similar to the transient nature of a Pharcyde song

I got 99 men
I have numerous opportunities and chances

An infinite amount of rounds inside this mighty fine pen
My creativity and skill seem boundless

This is my dream, don't fuck with it, I'm telling you
My dream of rap success must be respected and not hindered

Cause anyone can get dusted as long as production is available
With better production, anyone can be outshined and forgotten

I'm disgusted as a fan, look how niggas sounding, damn
As a rap fan, I'm deeply disappointed by the poor quality of some artists

Weak head, ya'll suck bad, fuck swag and your kicks from South Japan
You all lack talent and have terrible taste in fashion, especially your sneakers from South Japan

I'm finna to be the best in this profession
I am determined to become the top artist in this field

I've been invested all my life, so wipe your feet before you step in
I have devoted my entire life to this craft, so show respect when entering my territory

Welcome to our house
You are now entering our hip-hop collective and community

Where no one comes back out
Once you enter this world, it's challenging to leave

You won't find comfort
This realm doesn't provide solace or ease

In here, in here, in here
Within the confines of this hip-hop community

So welcome, to our house
We invite you to the world of hip-hop and our collective

Where no one, comes back out
Once you enter this world, it becomes difficult to escape

You won't find, comfort
This community lacks the comfort and ease you seek

In here, in here, in here
Within this realm of hip-hop

I just wanna be the illest MC (That's all I want)
My sole desire is to become the most skilled and talented rapper

The same time being as real as can be
While striving for greatness, I also aim to stay authentic and true to myself

In our house we spit like Sig Sauers
Within our realm, our rap skills are as potent and impactful as Sig Sauer handguns

The way I feel now I could spit for six hours
I feel so inspired and passionate that I could rap continuously for six hours

Only way to be great is to dig down
To achieve greatness, one must delve deep within themselves

If you can hear this sound inside my head sounds like a fucking drive-by
The thoughts in my mind are as intense and overwhelming as a violent drive-by shooting

That's what the inside of my mind's like
The inner workings of my mind are chaotic and intense

Looking back on my career, even hindsight, tunnel vision, 5 mics
Reflecting on my rap career, I had unwavering focus and received top ratings from critics

Never wanted that so bad well I got-ta go mad
I desired success in rap to such an extent that it drove me to madness

Nomad with a notepad
I am a wanderer, always carrying my notebook to write rhymes

Go Taz, spaz on these ho bags
I unleash my anger and energy on mediocre artists

That bother me, but I never wanna show that
Although these artists annoy me, I prefer not to reveal my emotions

Just don't act like it ever does
Don't pretend that their mediocrity doesn't affect me

Even though you know that there will never come
Despite knowing that there will never be

A day someone blows past you, never was
A day when someone surpasses me is nonexistent

Someone who's as dope as you ever was
Someone who is as skilled and talented as me

And you hope that's true cause the competitor in you
You hope this is true because your competitive nature won't accept anything less

Couldn't let somebody be better than you
You couldn't allow someone to outshine you

And you know that, so you don't ever hold back
You are aware of this and never hesitate to showcase your skills

What you gonna go back to working a regular job?
What's the point of returning to a normal job?

Fuck that, I'm gonna go hard grab on my, gonads
No, I refuse that option; instead, I'll give my all and take control

Tell them fuck themselves
I dismiss and defy those who doubt me

They call me a wigger like Renee Zell
They insultingly label me as a white person who emulates black culture, like Renee Zellweger

But I raised hell like a stay-at-home dad
However, I cause trouble and make waves like an assertive stay-at-home father

Rap is the only thing that I was ever really, bad to the bone at
Rap is the only pursuit where I have displayed true talent and proficiency

Guess I'm similar to, gangrene when I'm, angry then I'm
When I'm angered, I can be as destructive and infectious as gangrene

Hulk Smash, so much passion but no compassion
I have immense passion and intensity, but little empathy

If eyes are the windows to the soul
If one's eyes reveal their true thoughts and emotions

Then it's, broken glass and there's no trespassing
Then my eyes resemble shattered glass, warning others not to intrude

Alright now here we go
Now, we are ready to proceed

Dre stamped me now I'm stamping Yelawolf
Dr. Dre gave me his approval, and now I endorse and support Yelawolf

Get ready for the most competitive
Prepare for the most fierce and intense competition

Clique in the world it's like Clash Of The Titans
Our collective is like a clash of titans, with each member highly competitive

I released the cracker it's time to set it again
I have unleashed my skills and now it's time to demonstrate them again

And when it's said and it's all done
When everything is finished and concluded

None shall ever fuck with this squadron
No one will be able to challenge or defeat our group

So come on in, at your own risk
You are welcome to join, but be aware of the potential consequences

This is (Our House) Bitch!
This is our domain and we are in charge
