Still Gotta lotta love (repeat 8X)

Much love to my man Leor
Keep rockin' them beats and gettin' hotties on the floor
Much love for my man Danny Boy
Ever since you came in my life, you helped bring me joy
Much love for my man Grand Mixer-Muggs
For taking me off the street and mixin' with the thugs
And much love love for my man B-Real
I'm glad you got rid of that steel
And much love for my man Sen-Dog
The crews rolling thicker than some London fog
And much love for my man Steve Urkel
I trust him wit' my life and with the loot from every show
And much love for my roadie named Justin
Cause if anyone steps up I know you gonna bust 'em
And much love for my man Scott Ian
For bein' a really down to earth human bein'
And much love to my man Guy-O
Cause every day of the week he's got another fine ho
And much love to my man Bronx Style
You came to my party and son, you made it worthwhile
And much love to my man Son Doobie
If I needed it again you'd sell the gun back to me
And much love to my man Ralph Emms and the Tomahawk Funkster
Funky like a dumpster
And much love to my man Kaves, ADMoney and the Edge
We're family like Sister Sledge
And much love to my moms and my sister and my niece
And everyone out there fighting the beast
And much love to the pioneers
Cause now i get paid for rhymin' and drinkin' beers
And much love to the Ultramagnetic
Cause everybody knows you never got enough credit

Still gotta lot of Love
Gotta lotta love (repeat 10X)
Still gotta lot of Love

Everlast was barely of legal drinking age when he released his major label rap debut, Forever Everlasting, as part of Ice-T’s Rhyme Syndicate. Next he teamed with his high school pal Danny “Danny Boy” O'Connor, a hype man and graphic designer, to form the Irish American-centric House Of Pain, backed by Everlast’s longtime DJ, DJ Lethal (who is of Latvian/Russian descent).

“Jump Around” (produced by DJ Muggs) pushed House Of Pain’s debut to multiplatinum status, followed by the crossover rap/rock remix of “Shamrocks & Shenanigans.” After tours with Beastie Boys and Rage Against The Machine, their sophomore album went gold, but the group disbanded by the time their third album dropped.

DJ Lethal joined Limp Bizkit and Everlast went solo, going multiplatinum yet again on the acoustic/rap hybrid, Whitey Ford Sings The Blues. House Of Pain has reformed for festivals and club dates here and there ever since, often performing with Everlast’s backing band.
