[Sample: Royce Da 5'9" & Joe Budden]
This is the life, we gone!
I ain't with the leaning and rocking
That ain't even seen as a option...

[Intro: Crooked I (K-Young)]
You're nothing without (Focus...)
Woo.. Long Beach (Lay your seats back)
New Jersey (Turn your speakers up)
Brook-lyn! Detroit!

[Chorus: K-Young]
We-we, we lyrical murrrrrrrrrrrderers
Welcome to the Slaughterhouse
(What you talkin 'bout?)
Where we bring them verbal llamas out, blaow
We-we, we lyrical murrrrrrrrrrrderers
Man, we own these streets
And the freaks they love us
We ain't worried 'bout you fuckers (Slaughterhouse)

[Verse 1: Crooked I]
Lyrical murderer, blame Rakim
I'm a sniper shooting my way into your lame top 10
Pistol at your head if I ain't next to Eminem
Then I bust in your face like I'm fucking Lil' Kim
Niggas better pray to the lyrical lord
That I fall off like the umbilical cord before I fill up the morgue
This is how a killer record
With the double-edged triple syllable sword
I'm iller than ordinary, see I'm a literary genius
Bury niggas with words, a cemetery linguist
Most rappers are comedy gold
They like they boyfriend's sodomy hole - they full of shit!

[Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9"]
Now you could walk through the shadow of death next to that shady street
Where the verbal cocaine business and 80's meet
Where them niggas is backwards
I'm riding with my daughter in the front with the A.K. in the baby seat
We them copycat killers, unleashing venom
Commit them lyrical murders and then we re-commit 'em
Lyrics be high quality
Bitches be giving me brain, my dick be deep in they heads like psychology
Independently penning the best words that were ever said
The mixture of Leatherhead and Everclear
You can't hide, we everywhere
Now, picture a grizzly standing next to a teddy bear

[Chorus: K-Young]
We-we, we lyrical murrrrrrrrrrrderers
Welcome to the Slaughterhouse
(What you talkin 'bout?)
Where we bring them verbal llamas out, bloaw
We-we, we lyrical murrrrrrrrrrrderers
Man, we own these streets
And the freaks they love us
We ain't worried 'bout you fuckers (Slaughterhouse)

[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
Yeah, hello hip-hop, I am here, you dying yeah and I'm aware
A beast so at your wake I'll cry lion's tears
And that's no disrespect to the pioneers
If we ain't who you trying to hear
Something either wrong with your eyes and ears
I came in this game screaming Jers'
Ain't an MC in our lane to try and merge
Try and run with our wave
But I'm cool with being Eddie Levert seeing my son on stage
Gun gon' blaze, act up in this joint
And I'ma be Nate Robinson and back up the point
Your run's over, run with us or get run over
I'm here to save this shit, and I brung soldiers

[Verse 4: Joell Ortiz]
This is lyrical murder
Me and every track have a physical merger
When I stab it in the chest I'ma bit of a curver
So it bleeds to death, like the middle of a unfinished burger
Or sometimes I wrap my hand around his throat
'Cause he think his kick is slick or his little snare is dope
Shoot the bass in the face but sometimes I carry a rope
To hang the piano keys when they hitting every note
I'm what no beat's able to withstand
If you suffer from writer's block and your label got big plans
Listen to this fam
Slide a little dough out that budget, and hire the instrumental hitman

[Chorus: K-Young]
We-we, we lyrical murrrrrrrrrrrderers
Welcome to the Slaughterhouse
(What you talkin 'bout?)
Where we bring them verbal llamas out, blaow
We-we, we lyrical murrrrrrrrrrrderers
Man, we own these streets
And the freaks they love us
We ain't worried 'bout you fuckers (Slaughterhouse)

Slaughterhouse

Slaughterhouse was a rap Supergroup consisting of Royce Da 5'9", KXNG CROOKED, Joe Budden & Joell Ortiz.

The group saw its beginnings In 2008, when Joe Budden reached out to Royce, Crooked, Joell and Nino Bless to feature on a track called “Slaughterhouse” which appeared on his 2008 album Halfway House. After it became clear the group had chemistry, they decided to continue working together, eventually forming the Slaughterhouse group.

Unfortunately, the mystery album Glass House has never been released by Shady Records and amongst plenty of disagreement, Slaugherhouse officially broke up in April 2018, as announced by Royce in this
