    Story Behind the Song
    The lyrics explain it all...

    Lyrics
    Slaughter House Jive (1998)

    Yo, ya think the storys over, but its just startin
    The people of Honesdale call me Chris Martin
    Danny D is my brother, Mary Jo is my mom
    Mary Jane in my glass, cuz that shit is the bomb
    Well, ya know the Stickman rocks microphones,
    The Queen is Dead and Jeremy Jones
    I said where its at, but the answers know
    I got two hand drummers and a xyolphone.
    Livin day to day, readin K.V.J.
    I got words to say, a guitar to play
    And I got good rhythms, I got good rhymes
    I got good friends and we got good times
    But before the lip lock get the fresh breath tic tac
    Kickin out rhymes but collectin no kick backs
    Yeah I got skills bu tthey dont pay the bills
    Gotta get up and go to work
    Just watch me now

    (Chorus)
    I gotta get down, just to stay alive
    Stick around and catch the Slaughterhouse Jive
    When youre down, know that youll survive
    Stick around and catch the Slaughterhouse Jive

    Slaughterhouse Five to the six and seven
    The price is right like Rob, Mike and Kevin
    Dont lift weights, but I elevate my mind
    49er rhymes, Im a lyrical gold mine
    Gimme a little room, yeah back the fuck off of me
    The fifth insight from the Celestine Prophecy
    From Wayne County to the great beyond
    Spend a little time down at Walden Pond
    I send peace to peeps, who be talkin in their sleep
    Ill be playin my guitar, Ill be playin for keeps
    Ill be playin at a friends backyard celebration
    Never been to jail but Ive been on probation
    Never been to Texas, the lone star state
    But Ive been to Kutztown, and that place is great
    When I play guitar, it makes me say goddamn
    Yo, I jam therefore I am
    Just watch me now

    (Chorus)

    S to the T to the I to the C to the K to the M A Nand thats me

    Yo, which came first, the chicken or the yolk
    The ecstasy I ate, or the marijuana smoke
    Im more down with the old school then I am with the new jack
    Fuck Will Smith, Johnny Cash was the Man in Black
    People always coming, but they dont know where theyre going
    Gotta catch a good vibe and be goin with the flow and
    See a good show an I pull an all-nighter
    Hey man, whos got my lighter?
    That shit aint cool
    If your mind is stable youre unable to fail
    Smokin Marlboros in the borough of Honesdale
    Readin Kurt Vonnegut

    Anyway you want it, thats the way you need it, anyway you want it
    It was 3 am when I wrote this rhyme
    But like Billy Pilgrim I can trip through time
    Whats up, you down with what Im talking about
    Yo, Im out like Kilgore Trout
    Just watch me now

    (Chorus)
