Purple Hills Lyrics

I've been so many places
I've seen so many faces
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
I've climbed the highest mountain
Once or twice but who's countin'
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
Cool, calm, just like my mom


With a couple of lawsuits inside her palm
It's Mr. Mischief with a trick up his sleeve
To roll up on you like Christopher Reeves
I can't describe the vibe I get
When I drive by 6 people
And 5 I hit
Ah shhh
I started a mosh pit
Squashed a chick
And lost the foster kids
This room make me hallucinate
Then I sweat till I start losing weight
Till I see dumb shit start happenin'
Dumber than Vanilla Ice tryin to rap again
So bounce, bounce, c'mon bounce
I said c'mon bounce
Everybody in the house with a half an ounce
To the women in the thongs wit thier asses out
We don't bullshit, better ask around
D12 throws the bombest bash in town
Bizarre, your mom is crashing out
Get her on the couch while she passes out
Fuck that, someone help Denaun

Who's upstairs wrestlin with Elton John
Hey Von
You see me steppin' on these leprechauns?
It's gonna be acid 'cos the X lax is gone
Yeah I took 'em all down with some parmesian
And I think my arm is gone
It's probably numb
Dumb, dumb, and fulla...
And I think he 'bout to swallow his tongue
You scary ass it was false alarm
You think I'm 'bout to die when I just got on?
So stop acting stupid
You so high
That you might wake up with a guy
On some new...
I think I did too much
I think I got the runs
Rolaids, Pepto, Anton
Watch out: Here it comes
I've been so many places

I've seen so many faces
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
I've climbed the highest mountain
Once or twice but who's countin'
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
Dirty Dozen
80 of us

Shady brothers
Ladies love us
That's why our baby mothers
Love us but they hate each other
They probably wanna take each other out
And date each other
Some, something, something, something
I dont know...
Pop pills
Pills are hot

Pop two pills
On stilts I walk
Snort two lines that were filled with chalk
Thought I was incredible and killed the hulk
I wanna, roll away
Like a rollerblade
Until my eyes roll back in my skull for days
And when I'm old and gray
Look for coke to smoke
No oki dok
I pack up my nose with smoke
*cough cough cough*
Am I supposed to choke?
Had an accident when the Trojan broke
Ahh, poor baby
Born by... lady
Now I gotta straight born infant
(You're crazy!)
I take four shots at one time
And I don't need chase when I'm swallowing mine

(hey)Yall need a room?
Ay Bizarre attach back?
We can't go wrong
'Cos our car has flats
Why the hell you people think I rap?
cuz my momma taught me to push contracts
If you got the cash
Then hide it too
(Swift, chill)
Im just get by like you
And I don't give a damn if finally move
me and the crew the hell wit you too
i only need a three bucks and im cool
I just got some and I'm going back soon
I've been so many places
I've seen so many faces

But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
I've climbed the highest mountain
Once or twice but who's countin'
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
I'm at rave
Looking like at a babe
Like she want it

Gin and tonic demonic
Body smelt like vomit
Lonely, crazy, dont be sexy, dopey headed guy
Whip Cream, dirty matresses
wanna try?
Blue hills, golden seals
Got Bizarre actin' ill
Drugs kill (yeah right)
chick I'm for real
Shut your mouth you dirty dirty
You know you want it in your...(what)
Ladies please dont fight
cuz im here all night
REFREIN
I been so many places
I seen so many faces

But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
Ive climbed the highest mountain
Once or twice but who's countin'
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple hills
Dirty Dozen
80 of us
Shady brothers
Ladies love us
That's why our baby mothers
Love us but they hate each other
They probably wanna take each other out
And date each other
Some, something, something, something
I dont know

D12

D12 (aka The Dirty Dozen and D-Twizzy) was initially formed in 1991 by Proof who invited local Detroit rappers such as Bizarre, Eminem and other members who would leave the crew before it achieved success including Eye Kyu, Killa Hawk and Fuzz. The group was a loose collective in the vein of Wu-Tang Clan. Several members began making names for themselves in hip hop during the late 1990s. Bizarre was named Inner City Entertainment's "Flava of the Week". He would also release an album entitled Attack Of The Weirdos and become a member of Tha Outsidaz with Eminem and Rah Digga. Proof won a freestyling competition run by The Source in 1998.

However, it was as a solo artist that D12 member Eminem found success. All of the members of D12 have aliases and Eminem chose Slim Shady as his. Eminem Was Formerly In A Group Called Soul Intent Along With Proof before leaving and forming with d12. They recorded an album called Infinite followed by an independent EP called The Slim Shady EP in 1997 that caught the attention of famed rap producer Dr. Dre and Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine, and soon signed to Aftermath/Interscope, releasing his breakthrough album The Slim Shady LP in 1999 which went on to be certified 4x platinum in the U.S.

Eminem's success persuaded Proof to establish D12 on a more permanent basis in early 1999. Bizarre, Eminem, Kon Artis, Bugz, and Swifty McVay were recruited to join the group. Kuniva and Kon Artis were previously part of Da Brigade. However, Bugz passed away in Detroit on May 21, 1999 because of a gun incident at a picnic that turned into a shooting death, leading to Kuniva proposing to take Bugz's place. Each of the members of the crew wears a tattoo of Bugz's name in his honor. The tracks Good Die Young and Bugz 97 (the latter of which features an appearance from Bugz) on D12 World are also in his memory.

The six members of D12 signed a contract with Eminem's Shady Records and Interscope in 2000. The fact that D12 rose to prominence after Eminem led many people to assume that the other members had less significance in the group - this would be the concept of the group's 2004 hit single My Band. They also made the song to adress the common using of Eminem featuring D12.

Despite Eminem's prominence in the music industry, D12 insists that there is no frontman in the group and that Eminem is just another member. In spite of this, D12 recently began to tour as a separate entity to Eminem, a controversial move that could lead to confusion among concert-goers who may believe they are paying to see Eminem as well as the other five performers.

Sadly, early morning on April 11, 2006, Proof was shot and killed at a Detroit-area nightclub. Proof, real name DeShaun Holton, was 32 years old. Proof was also one of Eminem's best friends and will be missed by fans and friends.

There is rumored to be a new album in the process that will release either in 2010 or 2011. Eminem and Kon Artis validated that statement in an interview with Tim Westwood. Read more on Last.fm.
