About This Track

Eminem and Dr. Dre collide on a track built for maximum disruption. The song announces itself with a simple contract: when they arrive, the crowd moves. Eminem's opening verse sets the tone with boasts about dominance and control, his flow tightening around the central metaphor of unstoppable force. The production sits somewhere between menace and celebration, a platform for both rappers to assert their reach over the room. The chorus, anchored by Nikki Grier's hook, frames the song as the moment things tip into chaos. "Hell breaks loose" becomes shorthand for the inevitable consequence of their presence, a promise made and kept across four minutes. Dre's verse arrives with the weight of co-production, trading bars with Eminem in a sequence that feels less like collaboration than mutual confirmation of dominance. The track moves with purpose, never settling into comfort, always pushing toward the next beat.

"Hell Breaks Loose" is a track by Eminem, from the album Relapse: Refill, released 15th December 2009. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Eminem.

Lyrics

Hell Breaks Loose

[Verse 1: Eminem]

I want you (I want you) to understand something (To understand something)

That when I come up in this bitch, I want the fans jumping

I want the fists pumping in the air, I don't look like a millionaire

But I feel like a million bucks, ladies won't ya fill your cups?

Shady's come to feel ya up, are you a D or a C cup?

You could even be a B, it's just me and D.R.E

You'll be in the ER, we are strapped with so much TNT

We may blow, no, not even CPR from the EMTs

Could help you to resuscitate, you, busters, must be flustered, wait

You can't cut the mustard

What's your problem, can't you bust a grape?

(Chkk-chk-chk) What's my name?

Shady came and just crushed the game

It's really not even fair to them

'Cause they pale in comparison

So much they might as well wear his skin

Don't you wish you could just share his pen?

'Cause this shit's getting embarrassin'

The fog is thick and the air is thin

'Cause he won't even let them try to breathe

La-dididi-dadada-didi

He makes it look so easy, girl, you just hit the lottery

[Chorus: Eminem & Nikki Grier]

Now this'll be the part of the song that they drop the needle on

And hell breaks loose (Hoo)

Try to restrain us, you can't contain us

We're still gonna make a stink no matter what we do (Yeah)

Everywhere we go it seems, we're looking for any excuse

To just cut loose (Come on)

So this'll be the part of the song that they drop the needle on

And hell breaks loose (Hoo)

[Verse 2: Dr. Dre & Eminem]

This is when shit hits the fan like it just splattered on Stan

This is the only moment that matters, your homie rolled in with Mathers

Now chaos erupts, Em's in back, Dre's in the front

So do what we say at once, this song’s like a seance, it haunts

It makes them stay in a trance, no choice, they have to dance

It's like the playoffs, just making sure that we stay in the hunt

Take a day off of what? Man, you better lay off the blunts

You must be smoking something, you think I ain't smoking nothing, stay off my nuts

Now hit the floor, baby, time to wipe away all the rust

Shake all them cobwebs loose

Loosen up with a little bit of Grey Goose

Yeah, girl, shake that caboose

I don't wanna see you try to make no excuse

D.R.E is on the loose

A mongoose when it comes to the chronic use

You know, I can't stand to lose

Me and my goons are like animals

We come through like a pack of wolves

And we came here to retract the roof

Yeah, man, ain't that the truth?

Girl, your man's back in the booth

Definitely back up in this bitch

And this is when all hell breaks loose

[Chorus: Eminem & Nikki Grier]

Now this'll be the part of the song that they drop the needle on

And hell breaks loose (Yeah)

Try to restrain us, you can't contain us

We're still gonna make a stink no matter what we do (Oh)

Everywhere we go it seems, we're looking for any excuse

To just cut loose (Come on)

So this'll be the part of the song that they drop the needle on

And hell breaks loose (Hoo)

[Verse 3: Eminem]

Now, I know you're feeling discouraged, but, homie, just mark my words

I'm murderin' the flow, liquid courage, I'm finna blow

As soon as we hit the door, power surges head to toe

I'm sure to push it as far as words are meant to go

We're in the indigo Winnebago with tinted windows

Ferocious as we proceed to beat up the block wit' your ho

With speakers knocking, it's three-o'clock, me and Doc then proceed to drop

E and hop out the vehicle and knock on your door

[Verse 4: Dr. Dre]

Yeah, so let us in 'fore we huff and puff and we blow

We ain't bluffing for nothing, we'll knock the stuffing out you

Revenge is so sweet, move 'til you injure your feet

Yeah, move it or lose it, freak, move to the beat

Lose yourself indubitably

Pass up on that little cute chick right there?

That'd be pretty damn stupid to me

Born and raised in the C-P-T, yeah, Los Angeles, rules of the streets

Them haters hatin' on me, but I refuse to lose any sleep

Keep that deuce-deuce in the seat

Dre fall off? That's news to me

[Chorus: Eminem & Nikki Grier]

Now this'll be the part of the song that they drop the needle on

And hell breaks loose (Hoo)

Try to restrain us, you can't contain us

We're still gonna make a stink no matter what we do (Yeah)

Everywhere we go it seems, we're looking for any excuse

To just cut loose (Come on)

So this'll be the part of the song that they drop the needle on

And hell breaks loose (Hoo)
