Shamrocks and Shenanigans (Butch Vig Mix) Lyrics


Alright, now
Boom sha lock lock boom
Boom sha lock lock boom
Boom sha lock lock boom
Boom sha lock lock boomI kicks the flava, like Steven King writes horror
If I was a Jew then I'd light a menorah
I got rhymes for ya, excuse me, senora
Are you a hore or are you a lady?
Is it Erica Boyare or Marcia Brady?Let me know hon, the deed'll get done
Just assume the position, I'll take my rod
And then I'll go fishin', I'll get your river flowin'
I'm always in the knowin'
When it comes to givin' pleasure
I'm every woman's treasureI came to work your body, so let me do my job
I've never been laid off, my rhymin' skill paid off
'Cause now I'm makin' records, now I'm makin' tapes
Steady bustin' suckers in bunches like grapes
Makin' all the papes, scoopin' up the loot

Puttin' suckers on the run, pull my gun and then I shootI never been a front, I never a fraud
I gotta natural skill, for that I thank the Lord
'Cause I feel blessed, I'm casually dressed
I always got my gun but I never wear a vest
I'm quick on the draw like the horse named McGraw
From the cartoon 'Boom Sha Lock Lock'(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Everybody
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)Breaker, breaker, here comes the caper
Straight with the taper, the lyric skyscraper
Hit ya like a lyrical murderer
I know ya think I have but, yo, I never heard of yaJust because you heard of me, kid
Fuck around until you do the lifetime bid
I'll put you in the dirt and leave your ass for dead
When it comes to tools, T's the sharpest in the shed'Cause I'm the 55 Cadillac king
It ain't nothing, my cargo ring
We'll bust you in the crib
I got the skill, you gots to chill
'Cause I bring doom
I got the boom sha lock lock boom(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Everybody
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
A little louderA preacher in the dirt
A preacher in the dirt
A preacher in the dirtI rock mad styles, I hop turnstiles
I rock all mikes, I last all night
I puff fat blunts, I rock fine stunts
Step up, bo, I'll knock out your gold frontsEverlast, that's my name
My unique rhyme style's my claim to fame
'The House Of Pain's' the name of my clip
You can't be down, punk, get off my dickYou make me sick, like Strawberry Quik
Your style is wack, you ain't the mac
So yo, step back, get off the crack
And sing a new tune like boom sha lock lock boom(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Everybody
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
A little louder(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Everybody
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
A little louder(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Everybody
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
A little louder(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Alright now
(Boom sha lock lock boom)
Everybody
(Boom sha lock lock boom)

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.
