Royce Da 5'9" - Caterpillar Lyrics
[Gil Scott-Heron:]
You will not be able to stay home, brotha
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip out for beer during commercials
Because the revolution will not be televised
[King Green:]
This right here for the number one
Number ones here with your number one
You ain't number one, just another one
Now everybody sayin' that they number one
[Royce Da 5'9:]
Ring the alarm, the caterpillar keeps firing
Oh, we in the war, where butterflies keep dyin', ah
If didn't do this, where in the fuck would you be at?
See there's a difference between us, what I spit hit arenas
You a drip from my penis, I eat lions and sip hyenas
You number one when it come to slaughtering mics
I'm tryna be number one in my son and daughter life
Uhh, all you niggas my little rapper babies
Y'all my children, y'all bit my shit and contracted rabies
Don't you grade me next to these rappers, baby, that's degrading
My style got so many different facets
I switch into so many different passions
I'm skippin' class to be fascinatin'
My pen is like Big Ben, this shit's just a classic waiting
Your favorite rapper come at me, I just decapitate him
I hate congratulating these has-beens who had their highs
These rappers only won their matches because they strategize
I bring Attica to these patterns, and here's my battle cry
Ring the alarm, the caterpillar is firing
Oh, we in the war, where butterflies keep dyin', ah
[King Green:]
This right here for the number one
Number ones here with your number one
You ain't number one, just another one
Now everybody sayin' that they number one
Kid think your number won't quit
Number one song, get your number one chick
Number one fly with your number one kick
When it's all done then your number gon' switch
[Royce Da 5'9:]
Hold up, wait a minute
Guess what I'ma never do
Show so much respect to you
That I feel like we're friends, so now we no longer competitors
That could be the death of you
Never let someone who's not as smart as you gas you up
And tell you somethin' you never knew
Always stay professional
You always gon' make revenue
Don't let people next to you that don't want the best for you
It's completely normal to hold on to a regret or two
I do what I want to do, they do what I let them do
Everything niggas be sayin' is a fuckin' lie
There is nothing I can say to you that is realer
Remember when you raisin' the butterfly
Don't you ever disrespect the fucking caterpillar
[King Green:]
This right here for the number one
Number ones here with your number one
You ain't number one, just another one
Now everybody sayin' that they number one
Kid think your number won't quit
Number one song, get your number one chick
Number one fly with your number one kick
When it's all done then your number gon' switch
[Eminem:]
You're looking at Attila
The psychopathic killer, the caterpillar
Don't tell me when I'm supposed to rap until
Especially when your favorite rapper ain't even half as ill
A savage still, the track's a banana peel, attack of the silver-back gorilla
You're havin' a little trouble fathomin' this is actually happenin'
Like Anderson Silva back when he snapped his shin in half
And then had the shit hangin' by a flap of skin
After he tried to plant the shit back on the mat again
Pad to pen I'm batty like eyelids when they're blinkin' a lot
You copy me, but you're not
You can't be butterflies
My offsprings are just moths
I see that thing I'ma squash it and rip the wings of it off
So ring the alarm, pull the extinguishers off of the wall, set the sprinklers off
Like Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah
'Till the shingles come off the roof we'll shout at the ceiling
Slaughterhouse in the building, middle fingers aloft
Say what I think when I rhyme, in ink-pen I talk
And the language I speak is my mind
Kingpin and Penguin combined
Spit like it's King of the Dot
A singular thought I think of will help you distinguish apart
The frauds from the cream of the crop
([Royce Da 5'9:] Wait a minute)
Hold up like a flashcard
Damn dawg, is that copyin' or payin' homage?
It's sad because dad taught you to rap as a damn toddler
My dad is your grandfather
I have to rehatch on ya
Come back as black wasp
Half yellow jacket, you can't swat a
Sasquatch dancing on top of an ant trample it and stomp it
Smash it and stand on it
Dammit, I can't stop it
The rap is a vag' and I'm goin' in like a tampon in this bitch
It's a manslaughter
Stampin' out grasshoppers, you can't be no Rap Gods
In fact you're exact opposites
You make a wack song, and can't hold a candle
But even Daniel-san whacks off
You jack-offs need to come to grips like a hand job
The boom bap is coming back with an axe to mumble rap
Lumberjack with a hacksaw
Number one, but my pencils are number twos 'cause that's all I dos with 'em
Poop is my pseudonym
On the john like a prostitute when I'm droppin' a deuce
And when I'm producing them lyrical bowel movements
These beats are like my saloons
'Cause these bars always got my stools in 'em
And I don't need Metamucil to loosen 'em
Bitch, shit is real like I pooped Jerusalem
I'm 'bout to go spin another cocoon and I'm cuttin' you from your mother's womb then I'm flushin' you

Need to come to grips, like a hand job
The boom bap is back with an axe to mumble rap
Lumberjack with a hacksaw
Number one, but my pencils are number two 'cause that's all I do with 'em
Poop is my pseudonym
On the john like a prostitute when I droppin' a deuce and
When I'm producing them lyrical bowel movements
These beats are like my saloons
'Cause these bars always got my stools in 'em
And I don't need Metamucil to loosen them
Bitch it is real like I pooped Jerusalem
I'm 'bout to go spin another cocoon
And I'm cuttin' you from your mother's womb then I'm flushin' you
Idk shit bout Royce but when I seem he teamed up wit Em I had to check it out and God Damn is this dude fuckin on fire.
"Number one, but my pencils are number twos
'Cause that's all I dos with 'em, poop is my pseudonym
On the john like a prostitute when I'm droppin' a deuce
And when I'm producing them lyrical bowel movements
These beats are like my saloons
'Cause these bars
always got my stools in 'em"
...my head exploded after these lines first entered my ears...
Bad Meets Evil - Caterpillar ft. King Green
I just got my new BEATS by Dre and I can honestly really appreciate finally hearing that low hum and riding it through the song that wasn't being made clear before. Real classy work on the audio, love this song. One of my new favorites
Ok boomer
Em said “I’m number One, but my Pencil’s a Number 2 ..” 🔥🔥
To be honest i came here for em's verse
Em's accpellas are fire.
Royce till this day is still underrated
Yall sleeping on these verses
Been listening to this shit since 2018 and it just dawned on me this is Bad meets Evil!
Indestructible
Need to cum to grips like a hand job 🤣🤣
I just dont understand Em.....I have been trying to figure it out since 99.....Still nothing
If rap was a vag (vagina) I'm going in like a tampon in this bitch it's a manslaughter... like killing shit and a bloody situation
My bars got stools in them like bars got stools to sit at but also stool as in bathrooms also found in bars.
This shit "is real" like I pooped Jerusalem but also Israel
It's deep thinking with Em most of the time not surface level
eminems verses in features are better than his actual songs most of the time
these guys nuked mumble rap into a coma
Lol true
This song has one problem
Jk it doesnt
I wonder if he got the opening from Tekken movie the revolution will not be televised
I’m here in 2020
BITCH!
This may be the most savage shit I ever heard. Don’t care.
i love how he just stands there motionless x
He is charging
I like the fact that when shady does a feature his verse is at the end.... But even if it's his own song... His at the end.. Cos he knows people always highly anticipate it
you know it's a banger when Em raps in half of the tune when he's only a feature
Kinda feels like royce dissed eminem in his verse
"You Jack-offs need to cum to grips like a handjob"? WTF EM that was FIRE
1:55 only 5'9 can touch the GOAT
Theres a beat and then there's a em
Eminem + Rocye = fire
Damn.....nice caterpillarin,lookin blank,still cannabin,
STANS would die to be a CATERPILLAR from now on...
Ooh.
I'M a CATERPILLAR from now on!😍😍😍😍
My favorite is eminem. What now Royce?
Walk like crabs, rap like people...CRAB PEOPLE
FUCK Eminem he's a cuckold FUCK Royce for disrespecting white people by saying don't disrespect a caterpillar oh puzzazz nigga I'm Jesus fucking biiiitch y'all dien from cuckolds now suck a nigga Dick mine white but Yu can still suck a nigga Dick LOUISIANA NIGGA FUCK Ya
Dumbass.
Imagine Eminem directing traffic 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I will take that route everyday 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eminem while just standing there: Logic didn’t even get a second be thankful
'Magine em bearing some drums 🥁 real hard ....
Royce killed it but em still made it his track 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still one of my favorites to this day
I’m not a rap music fan, but this compared to shit like Drake isn’t even close, Eminem is a real musician and rapper.. those idiots are just products of their music label.. they have no talent.
Royce is not relevant to say anything
@KoolaidPlaysRL He's not unique,lyricism is not a problem.Look Kendrick is young but he's more unique and way more relevant than slaughterhouse company,and I could accept that
Heisenberg okay I’ll give you that, Kendrick is an example of a lyrical rapper who is also creative and unique. But like I said I mostly listen FOR the lyricism which is what makes them unique to me. Beats, ad libs, album themes, etc are nice too but I’m here for the bars first and foremost
@KoolaidPlaysRL But flow isn't
@KoolaidPlaysRL even JID is more relevant than Royce,u know what am sayin...I respect Royce but he's not relevant.
Heisenberg you keep saying this word “relevance” bro I do not give a fuck about relevance lmao I will listen to a rapper who averages a thousand views if he has bars before I listen to any of the radio amateurs. Why do you care about relevance that’s just the same as saying you want to listen to what others are listening to
I'm the caterpillar bruv
Gil Scott big up...
5'9-aze
Royce is a savage.
Slim nurtured this nigga.
1st time I heard this literally just now. 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥 chico bean gets his swag from Royce.
Royce da 5’9 ...looks like if Chico Bean was a rapper and not a comedian...😂
lol em looks like kevin spacey
Why did they change Atilla to At her.....
2:48 when u change characters in a game
Snoop said well take Eminem and whites can have 2 of our black guys but I forgot who he mentioned. Fair trade I'd say, 2 no one's for 1 goat, probably an unfair trade actually. Make it 10 for 1. Or 10000
I'm old skool gimme a example of a mumble rapper?? Gracias
Lil uzi vert
Who else saw Royce bump into eminem at 1:55
Instead of going to barbershop listen to Eminem’s verse.
You’ll lose all of the extra hairs on your body
Didnt known Em was a MMA fan
https://youtu.be/4Ae2iKC3R4w Mr. Peter was a product of the nation aqui!
Well, I can thank Nick Cannon for one thing...he got me in my hip hop bag, listening to REAL rappers who are the best lyricists. Nickel and Em did this.
Even this fucking video is fire
who the fuck is more insane than Eminem??????
i came here to see n listen to Eminem
I dunno who put these two together but something wild just happend
Why did I not know this shit existed??? Holy F!!!! Made my day this shit right here!!!!
I dont know which one is more dope...the song or the video?? R.I.P mumble rapper's.
Curtir.No Spike inglish
Yeah I might be a little late saying this but this song kicks ass I like it alot good shit glad they still actually make music like this and I'll be honest I don't know nothing about Mumble rappers because I never could leave their music on long enough to know they were Mumble rapping I like real s***
Oh and this is real s***lol
Eminem The Real Slim Shady Marshall Bruce Mathers III
3:52 snake jazz
Flow is to slow?
Speed on ×1.25
There you go
3 months later still everything they say is a fuc.. ng lie
That Anderson Silva line gets me everytime. Narly
This still on repeat 2yrs later!! Em an Royce need to do a entire album.
Em just standing there bc he dont want to steal the song bc that's his homi!!! Love this old school flow, lyrical assaulted all other rappers, mumble rappers are not real rappers btw
They f n suck. Ty Eminem for always saving the game. Wth will we do when he is gone??? I cant even think about it
I will be f n broken forever
Seriously. After listening to Hell: The Sequel, I'm just itching for a new BME album
Fuck rap god, Em is the God of Rap
Eminem said , hes going in on this bitch like a tampon... that was lil Wayne's bar... I guess even the greats bite bars and steal flows... after all this time I just noticed he stole that from lil Wayne
money Mig MM just bc Wayne said it doesn’t mean he stole it lol
@KoolaidPlaysRL its recycled he used it... what if I was rap battling and I said a bar someone else said bitches would be crying
I usually prefer Eminems verses when he makes a song with someone,but this time prefer royce.
Never thought I was#1 but I be a #0 before #1 that's right #ZERO be how all see #FACT
Em jus goes off it’s too sick lol
F for logic
Royce: em you gonna move
Eminem: hmmmmmmmm
You know the world has gone to ish when n!gga$ in paris has more views than this masterpiece. Royce and EM would bury j and mrs kardashian.
313 bro...
What if Em stood there
Bad Meets Evil reactivated ?
"But even Daniel-san wax off, you jack-offs" I literally almost died from laughter when I heard that for the first time.
I'm still trying to eat lions and sip hyenas.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💨
The only problem I have with this song is i can't turn the volume up any louder
Imagine if you're just sleeping then all of a sudden you see Royce da 5'9 and Eminem standing there in the corner while staring at you.
i was disliking 6ix9ine music videos i saw a trash wit 800M views and this golden song gets only 47M damn man it really hurts...
Em standing there like me in a family gathering
Royce deserves way more even those fuckers cocksuckers like lil xan get more attention
Em standing there like he wants a talk with my dad
“These bars always got my stools in them” That whole line was one of the sickest metaphorical wordplay designs you will ever hear! Period!
And I don’t need Metamucil to loosen em
Bitch shit Israel like I pooped Jerusalem!
That whole scheme is ridiculous. How the fuck did he even think of that?
Michael Scott I’ve checked out a lot of ‘reaction’ videos and only one caught that bar! ✌🏽I salute you comrade :)
No homo, but Royce is effin ripped up...I'm exactly his age but my chest looks like a wet blanket compared to his...
The accapella is strong in this one
“You copy me but you’re not,
you can’t be butterflies,
my offsprings are just moths,
I see that thing imma squash it and rip the wings of it off”
He’s literally saying that nobody can try and become what he is. Anyone who tries he will destroy.. “I see that thing imma squash it and rip the wings of it off”
