Wood pecker, peck on wood, take me out you never could,
act up in my neighbourhood, you better not, my aim is good,
the house of pain is not a game, just a funky irish name,
a celtic savage making cabbage with corn beaf on the side,
Irish pride's what I've got, I've got a lot so don't dispute it,
constantly I'm zooted, if you've got a gun then shoot it,
blah-de-blah-de-blah-deblah, etc., etc., etc.

[Comrade Ceausescu]

Here are some real everlast lyrics.

One and the same, one and the same

I wish I could see beyond the filthy blue horizon, see what lies ahead of me
Perhaps I'd see the path of my own destruction
And avoid my destiny, she said Heaven and Hell is one and the same boy
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, was one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
I said it can't be true

I wish I could touch you in some totally new fashion
Who are you girl, I'm a man, now I can't guarentee your complete satisfaction
So I'm gonna do you the very best way I can

She said Heaven and Hell is one and the same, boy
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle
She told me Heaven and Hell, boy, is one and the same
I said it can't be true

Wish I could find some time to stop and smell the roses
My landlord won't let me be, my head is full of paranoia
New roses, tryin' to consume my identity

She said heaven and hell is one and the same, boy
She told me heaven and hell, boy, is one and the same
We all meet somewhere in the middle, yes we do
She told me heaven and hell, boy, is one and the same
I said it can't be true, it just can't be true

Children grow and women produce and men go work and some go stealin' [repeat X1]
Heaven and Hell (children grow and women produce),
here on Earth (and men go work and some go stealin')


It goes one for the prophet
Two for Islam, three for the hood ??? (???)
Four for the Mother that birthed my frame
Five for the Father 'cause it's heart began
Been 'round the world suns all the same
Sometime's when I'm asleep I still call your name
Back when I was young I used to dream of fame
Now they all point their fingers sayin' "who's to blame"
Mother's put their girls in some pig tail curls
Father's teach their sons how to shoot their guns
They say, boy, don't ever ???, control your emotions
Take it like a man and make your stand
They say sex and violence go hand in hand
Every man blessed they gotta be tempted
Span through the depths of space and time
Stand, three eyes blind on the firin' line
Word to my man Divine, come too far
Singin' la allaha a lala
(???)
I was hopin' that the Lord got some mercy to spare
It goes one for the rumor, two for the deed
Three for the Angels, four for the Alamin
Somewhere in between, totally obscene
Perfectly clean, I've got a Babylon Feeling
Wombs need healin', truth need revealin'
Hands need washin' from all the dirty dealin'
Floor to the ceilin', from the stage to the door
Kings and the Queens and the slaves and their whores
For every lost cause where the martyr's are found
That funky little sound that make you wanna get down
Somebody told me once that love makes the world go 'round
And kids they carry pistols out on the playground
That profound, gone too far, prayin' on my life to the burnt out star
Put your lights on, put down your crosses
It's time to tally up your wins and your losses
It goes one for Scott LaRock and two for Pac and B.I.G
Three for all the mothers who got graves to dig [X3]

[suffianr]

Singin' la allaha a lala
(???)

That's the thing, a friend says it sounds like he's saying: "La ilaha illallah", which means "There is no god but Allah".

It hasn't effected his singing, though. :)

[Alejandro C]

i used to really dig on house of pain when i was younger, blasting it in middle school. i also got whitey ford sings the blues when it came out, i really liked it. 'what its like' could never get played too much

[canikickit]

Those are real lyrics I posted. I think they're from "Top of the Morning To Ya", but I'm not sure.

[Eastside Revolt]

Here we are, my friend.
Once again
I’m inclined to rhyme one time.
So won’t you lend me your ear?
Cuz it’s clear
That this here has no pain
If this song was the blues you’d be sheddin a tear
Like a baby
Maybe
Is shoulda held back.
Some of you look shocked
I guess you couldn’t tell that
I was here to drop knowledge
College is irrelevant
My next move,
To prove I’m smooth but still intelligent
Expressing
Lessons with sheer precision
First hear me out then make a decision
On whether everlast knows what time it is.
Does this song belong in the rhyming biz?
Yes, I think so, cuz I’m a pioneer
Blazing the trail across a new frontier.
I’m growing lengths of growing stregth as I get older.
Cuz I’m a syndicate soldier.

All affections left behind,
There’s two more gears to grind.
Before I’m through,
I’m sure that you will find
A new respect for the rhymes I inject.
Through your eardrum,
Don’t play dumb
Just let me get to the point of my address
Unless you feel you can’t go.
This song is on the tables to make you dance, so
Get up, and if you don’t, leave the premises
I’m rula-ku so you can call me a genesis.
Born to perform and please a large crowd
Of people at night and to my right is el-o
The scale is brother,
Known for being treacherous
A sucker made a move and that’s the reason
Fletcher was forced to put his head out
He got too close to me,
Two by my side
And that’s that’s how it’s supposed to be.
These are my brothers,
And they’ve been around me
Since back in the days when the syndicate found me.
They are the people deserving of credit.
List my name, gained fame, and made sure I wouldn’t let it
Go to my head
Instead
I keep my feet down
Unlike sucker’s from the past I beat down.
The fatal mistake was to break on my confidence
Overall, their fall was due to overconfidence.
As we go, the ego’s
All start acting up
With statements
Of greatness, the rhymes aren’t backing up.
Talking louder as they get bolder,
But there’s no defense
Against a syndicate soldier.

As we reach the final stage,
Something got engaged,
In a conflict,
That’s sick with violent rage.
I gained fame,
From my name, everlast.
How long can this hype about a devil last?
A star was formed, but everyone took it serious.
Now it’s seems, I’m seen as delirious.
That’s okay, I’ll stay under rated.
And good things will come to all who have waited.
For the brother of a lighter skin to begin
Droppin’ knowledge with weight,
Cuz you rate paper thins.
Science is one thing, knowledge is another.
What do I mean when I say that I’m a brother?
Being a brother is a state of mind
For all those who chose to remain unblind.
Growing wisdom as I get older.
That’s right I’m white and I’m a syndicate soldier

Ends



Everything must change...
Ends...


some people would rob their mother for the ends
Rat snitch on one another for the ends
Sometimes kids get murdered for the ends
So before we go any further I'm on my ends

I knew this cat named Dale
Who didn't have a dollar
He was Harvard material
Ivy League scholar
Had a PHD
An MBA
But now he's waitin' tables 'cause there's rent to pay
Company's down sizin'
Inflation's risin'
Can't find a job
He's feelin' kind of stressed
Doesn't even feel the effects when he says
Forgot to count how many times he's been blessed
So he falls off track
Starts smokin' the crack
And once it hits his brain
It starts a chain react
Sells the shirt off his back
The shoes off his feet
He's losin' all his teeth
Now he's out on the street
And all of the sudden he's like Jesse James
Tryin' to stick up kids for their watches and chains
But he's from business school
And he's nervous with the tool
So he ends up on his back in a bloody pool
For the ends


I knew this chick named Sally
She had a nice strut
And everywhere that I went she was up in the cut
Swingin' that butt like "place your ad here"
Only rapped the Benz
And rocked the fly gear
Brand name wearin'Champagne wavin'
Jewels around the neck
A lotta style she's cravin'
Ain't no savin'
She's doin' all the spendin'
If you do the lendin'
She'll do the bendin'
Straight machine vendin'
That's money for tail
Shoppin' sprees get her on her knees
And then you hit her with the keys of your krib you actin' funny
Come home one day find her countin' out your money
From the Wetlands all the way to the Apollo
If you broke she's spittin'
If you're rich she might swallow
For the ends

[CHORUS]

I knew these two homeboys
That made a lot of noise
Makin' money on the block
The kids was on their jock
They was tougher than leather
Like Reverend Run
DMC they was tokin' guns
Hold and wait
Goin' out of state
Stackin' mad chips
And pushin' phat wears
Fly jewels and clothes
And got no job
And then one disappeared
And one got robbed
For the ends

[Sabocat]

I think it's pretty easy to see where Everlast is coming from....



What It's Like



We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied


God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked daddies dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game


God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like
To have to lose...

[praxis1966]

That's not from Top O' the Mornin, but I recognize the lyrics. Definately House of Pain's first album. My personal favorite is "Put on Ya Shitkickers." I wonder if anyone knows what band their turntabalist DJ Lethal is spinning for now...
