I'm a Swing It Lyrics


I'm a swing it
Watch me bring it
To the next level
The graphic devils
Gettin' funky like the NevillesBrothers from the bayou
So why you wanna trip?
Just play the sideline kid
And wait for me to trip'Cause I can feel it in the air tonight
But yo I'm not Phil Collins
I'm more like Henry Rollins'Cause I search and destroy
Retoy with the plot
Tryin' to get what I got
Ya might get shotHot damn I'm a slam ya like ONYX
Then teach ya how to write a rhyme
Like hooked on Phonics
Mother Goose ain't got shit on me'Cause I get loose at the jam
And wreck the whole party
I make em' jump and mosh

Oh, my goshThe're slamin' in the pit
When I'm kickin' my shot
They're buggin' at the eyes
'Cause I got mad styles
And ain't a damn thing funny
I get money in pilesSome people thought I died
That's just a rumor though
Others thought I fell off
But now I'm numero unoDos not cuatro
Word to Kool Kieth
I'm a break up your teeth
When I die
(Die)
Bury me
(Me)Hang my balls from a cherry tree
(Tree)
Let them get ripe and take a biteAnd if they don't taste right
Then don't blame D
(D)You need to quit swingin'
The styles that I'm bringin'
The funk knuckle dragon
The kids on the wagonI'm not the 12 stepper
Don't play me like a lepper
My mic sounds nice
But it's not salt-n-pepaWell, it's the man with the plan
To get all your skins
The tip of my dick
Is where the line beginsSo hoe's form a line
Take off that swine
Strip your ass butt naked
Let's see if you can take it'Cause I'll make you feel
Like a natural women
'Cause I keep it comin'I'm the everlastin'
Free style assasin
My soul and my goal
Is to bring a little passionTo your girl's life like the Daily Sun
Throw her down on the bed
And tie her up wit ropes
I'm just another rager with a Dairy Face
Punk motherfuckers beef and rhyme my raceYou need to step back kid
And give me some space
So I can cold spark the party
When I'm rockin' the placeDanny Boy's arrivin'
I stand six five and a half, don't laugh kid
The outlaw biker with my big shit kicker
On a highway to hell
'Cause I never tellWell, it's the funk back breaker
We heat it up like Jamaica
Don't bring your woman
To the party cause I'll take herHit the deck
'Cause I'm down with the Hoolis
I got a trunk full of funk
Like the groovy dooliesI'm not the man
But I'll ask who was he?
Quick's hot the hair
Do just like Ruth BuzzyRunnin' 'round town
Like ya been to jail son
But ya hit the swap meet
To get your hair and your nail doneGet off my sack
'Cause your shit is wack
Ya, dis me and I'm a dis ya back
I'm a swing it, I'm a swing it
I'm a swing it, I'm a swing it

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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.

The band's history starts with 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. They participated together with Helmet, along with several other rap acts, on the influential 1993 rock-rap collaborative Judgement Night movie soundtrack.

Sophomore album and decline in popularity

Their follow-up effort, 1994's Same As It Ever Was, went gold despite minimal airplay and no major hits. The first single, "On Point," is noted for taking a swipe at another American rapper with a strong Irish heritage, Mark Wahlberg ("Calvin Klein's no friend of mine/So I don't like Marky"). Like Cypress Hill, who, with House of Pain, were a part of the loosely-affiliated Soul Assassins posse, they found urban radio airplay an increasingly closed path, which affected album sales.

Third album

House of Pain abruptly broke up in 1996 after the release of their third album, Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again, which featured guest appearances by rappers Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Guru of Gang Starr, producer/rapper Divine Styler and reggae singjay Cockni O'Dire (credited as the Scheme Team). On the release date of the album, Everlast announced his departure from the group.

Split, solo and current affairs

From this point on, the status of the group would seem to be in the past tense, though the members would continue their careers separately. Danny Boy would found an art company, DJ Lethal became a member of nu metal band Limp Bizkit, and Everlast would finally get multi-platinum solo fame in 1998. In that year his acoustic rock/blues-inflected Whitey Ford Sings the Blues album hit the charts, together with the single "What It's Like". In 2000, a feud between Everlast and rapper Eminem coincided with the gold-selling Eat at Whitey's, which had minor hits like "Black Jesus" and "Black Coffee", and featured a collaboration with Carlos Santana. After the sale of the Tommy Boy Records catalogue of master tapes to Warner Bros. Music, Everlast signed with Island/Def Jam, and released the solo LP White Trash Beautiful in 2004.

Later the same year Rhino Records, a subdivision of Warner Music, has released a hit collection, Shamrocks & Shenanigans, with singles from Everlast's early solo days, the House of Pain and his post-group solo efforts. Prior to the release, Everlast announced on his official message board that he was not endorsing the compilation album.

Founded by Danny Boy in early 2006, La Coka Nostra is a new project that has reunited him, Everlast and DJ Lethal for the first time since House of Pain's split. Other group members include Ill Bill of Non Phixion, and newcomers Slaine and Big Left.
