House Music

Lived in 20 houses in the same damn town
Right around the block, used to slang raps round
Got it all up, got it all back now
It’s a haunted house, got soul by the pound
If you wanna dance, think about it right now
See, I’m not in it, yo, listen, I’m not in it
This song’s about beats, streets, I’ve walked in it
When I hit, I get the biz intensely criss-crossed in it
I’ve known who I am for longer than I remember
That’s before I met you so don’t try and engender
Some old school memories that never came up
I was never scene clean so don’t get it mixed up
Y’all know what I’m talkin' bout
When it’s time to rock about
Shock ‘em out, stop now, yeah yeah
I’m in the house
Yeah, I’m in the house
I got friends out for theyselves
Gold-rimmed cronies with a hat full of shelves
In the next two days, align myself with crips
On the CBC, they film me above the hips
Look at that car I drive, I whip it real good
Devo, see those rims, ghost riding and it feels good
No, that ain’t real hood, no, that ain’t lifestyle
I just rap about it so the kids can clap about it
I rap about drugs, I do it for my family
Sold those packs from the back of a Camry
No, make sure what you write is correct
I got a good eye, now my lines all connect
Y’all know what I’m talkin' bout
When it’s time to rock about
Shock ‘em out, stop now, yeah yeah
I’m in the house
Yeah, I’m in the house
Welcome to the club scene, half these rappers thug me out
I never had fun in the club scene
Yo, I dance real close in the club scene
Start a real toast in the club scene, it’s lovely
The club scene loves me, I spend my time in it
Four days a week, yo, I write my rhymes in it
Drink Grasshopper with a couple limes in it
I know some bathrooms, they did a couple lines in ‘em
At the studio, I get a couple styles out
Wait in line for drinks, it’s another time out
Made out on the floor with a couple dimes
How come I never seem to get where my money is spent?
Y’all know what I’m talkin' bout
When it’s time to rock about
Shock ‘em out, stop now, yeah yeah
I’m in the house
Yeah, I’m in the house
