House of Pain was an Irish-styled American hip-hop group who released three albums in the early to mid 90's before lead rapper Everlast decided to pursue his solo career again. The group is best known for its 1992 hit single "Jump Around". Band history Rise to fame After a failed short solo career, Everlast teamed up with DJ Lethal and high school friend Danny Boy to form House of Pain. The group was signed to Tommy Boy Records, and their self-titled debut album (1992) went multi-platinum, spawning the successful DJ Muggs produced single "Jump Around". Fashioning themselves as rowdy Irish-American hooligans (Lethal is actually of latvian heritage), they toured with various rap and alternative-rock bands after their breakthrough.

House Of Pain

Here come the...here come the, here come the pain (pain)...x4
Uplift your soul
Get your house in order
Mcs be actin like they walkin on water
Ill break ya down like a poem wrote in hyku
Who you gonna lie to
Before I crucify you
Hammer to the nails
My face impailen
My acid flashbacks got everything trailin
Im sailen blind on the open sea
Like an overload of coatahacian refugees
And Im on my knees
My face on the rug
One more frustration for my salvation
My jinns buggin up
Got me fuckin up
Callin my flesh
But my sole wouldnt mesh
[chorus]
So lick a shot when I heat up the spot
Im taking from the haves
cause to be the have nots
Lick a shot when I heat up the spot
Boy, where you gonna run when the gun get hot
So lick a shot when I heat up the spot
Im taking from the haves
cause to be the have nots
Lick a shot when I heat up the spot
Boy, where you gonna run when the gun get hot
Here come the...here come the...here come the pain...x4
I got the pressures of the world comin down all around me
I thought I was lost but thank God you found me
Im gettin crazy ideas of suicide
Lord I tried...lord I tried
To make the best of what I got
I keep on takin my shots
From the critics and the media
Thats what it be to ya
But you can stick it where the sun dont shine
cause Im goin for mine
I rock it all the time
Here come the pain
[chorus]
Well in the race for rats that be holdin gats
Ill run the hustle on the legend like minnesota fats
Not domino cause your wisdom found at thrill
Drunk on strawberry hill the episode be re-runnin
Over and over, and three times a lady
She said peep the scene at the end I aint shady
But, you and me be hush hush
The word be mush
If you take the low pro
Ill still give you some
cause I got a man and he pays my bills
Keeps my wears real fly and hooks my hair and nails
Baby dont sweat it...baby keep calm...baby dont worry I be vietkong
I can live three days on a bowl of rice and a piece of fish
Ill grant your every wish
[chorus]
