Slaughterhouse…

[Intro]

...Presents, The Way It began

"Let’s see now

First thing I can remember is an evening years back

The four of us was together even then

And from that time on, nothing was ever gonna be quite the same again

Yeah, especially us"

[Verse 1: Royce Da 5’9”]

G-G-God given, I’m killin’ this bomb bidniz

I’m calling rap that because I put my time in it

I-I don’t mind being ready to die as long as this is at an arena

And we did it and my momma seen it

This is my arm swinging and my alarm ringing

Fighting against time but writing this song singing

"In light of my wallet just look how the mighty have fallen"

You fell for it, say bye to them, say hi to Ryan mature

I can’t (lose) ‘cause God won’t let me (lose)

Bet against me you can go (lose)

Anybody can tell you (nah) nah

I knew the cats knew I was down so I fell back

Hit the ground, landed on my feet vertical, fell back too, so you can (lose)

I will never lay down and (lose), I was definitely about to (lose)

Then Eminem came like (“nah”) “nah”

This shit is entertaining, listen to the shit they saying

Venom is spraying which is why all I know is

I’m on a all time ultimate high inspired by all time low

[Hook]

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

[Verse 2: Crooked I]

In these days life is short, shots’a try to end you

And this game is like a sport, comp’ll try to pen you

I leave the stage on life support when I rock a venue

If you ain’t got a knife and fork you’re probably on the menu

If I ain’t make history before I left

It will be like using my last important breath before my death for snorting meth

More or less, I'm, Jordan-esque, I ignore the refs

I son you like you morphed into a Orphan yes

(Lose) Nah, I never (lose) yeah, you said I would (lose)

My destiny said (nah), homie you went against me

Foolish as Judas, nigga you’re lost

Now I’m feeling like Black Jesus, wrong nigga to cross won’t (lose)

If I refuse to (lose) the fact that I used to (lose) is making me say (“nah”)

This is how we attacking it, four rappers who passionate

Took the idea of a group and re-imagined it without planning it

Now the whole planet has to admit that’s the shit

[Hook]

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

[Verse 3: Joell Ortiz]

Everybody y'all invited to a crazy party

Have some fun, blocking the sun with the Shady Army

These women is feeling like skin, baby, they be on me

My flow water for sure, I’m a great tsunami

I’m with my awesome clique on another touring trip

From front of the stage all the way back to the door it's thick

Like secretly filming a mob, we recording hits

What a fucking lifestyle, maybe that’s why I'm on my dick

(Lose) Man, I ain't about to (lose) I don’t know how to (lose)

You beating the yaowa (nah) Mr. Ortiz I got you

Can’t find a reason not to, my ink, take 'em to church

Guess you could call it pentecostal, man Eminem told me (lose) yourself

So how can I (lose) focus, you roaches

(Lose) In combat so war? (nah), but if y’all need me to make it clear, for those slightly impaired

Like a flat in a snowstorm with no gas we ain’t going nowhere

We the sixty minute group, this year finna be our year!

[Hook]

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

[Verse 4: Joe Budden]

A mixture of showman and skill, imposing my will

A visionary, want me with my back to the ground, I ain’t with the missionary

Walk in my shoes and reap all of that I gain

Along with every invisible woe that accompanies fame

Louis Vuitton frames cover the scars that go with stardom

Got enemies that I birthed these bars are for Postpartum

So I tuck me the steal plate, they threatening me from behind a condom

But you can’t scream, fuck me! Then feel safe you just (lose)

Some people are praying I (lose), I thought I was set up to (lose)

Then Slaughterhouse came like (nah) nah

So I live by a real simple philosophy

If you stay grounded, watch God keep giving you reasons not to be, can't (lose)

It’s not in my plan to (lose), if I so happen to (lose)

Is that even possible (nah), keep that out of my reach

Still I’m praying the shit get manifested

Let the flow stage dive and hope for the fans to catch it

If you ever persevered you should understand the message

[Hook]

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

How quick are you gonna get up

[Outro]

The rest, what they say, is history
