While I’m HereHouse of Pain

Released: October 22, 1996

Songwriter: Everlast

Producer: DJ Lethal

Cockni O'Dire and my man, Divine
Danny Boy, you my brother till the end of time
The big boss Ross, for engineerin' the track
My man Bilal Bashir, for his backyard shack
My man Sadat X, for a pocket full of stress
And my man Diamond, for when he kicks it out west
For my man J. Disco, and fly tie, too
My man Frank Ball, for the phat tattoo
My peoples King Emms and Mike Nadone
Killa Rhyme Klik, the kings of the microphone
My man DJ Lee, cause his beats are so stank
And these are just a few people that I wish to thank
My man Lucky Locked Up, and Avinar
My man Albee, just for chasin' squaws

Chorus:
I got a whole lotta love to give
I still got a lotta love to give
I still got a lotta love to give
I got a whole lotta love to give

My girl T-Love, for the hook up and vibe
And Dilated Peoples be down with the Tribe
A yes yes y'all, I "Lowball" with Peter Greene
Killa Rhyme Klik be wreckin' the scene

Chorus

House of Pain

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.
