Cypress Hill

Cruising through the neighborhood

Some say I'm no good

Claimin' I'm a criminal

But let's make it understood

I'm just one man with a whole lot of homeboys (Whole lot)

You get the click in the Glock

When I pull out the chrome toy

Check me and I'll check you back (Check you back)

Then jump back to my big Buddha

Like I'm not a bad guy

But don't take advantage

I'm throwin' out the garbage

Just show me where the can is

All I was doin' was searching for the boom!

Then some punk tried to hit me with a broom

Lucky I ducked quick or else I'd be assed up

Last thing I wanted was have to pull the gat out

Here comes a nigga

And he's got a .38

Well my roundhouse said

Hey yo I'm shootin' up straight

Once I put away the shotgun

Borrow me a Glock

Took a little trip to the funky weed spot

Tried to jack me but homie got shot

La-la-la-lalala-la!

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Couple niggas from the Eastside

Fuckin' up ya program

No one witnessed

But they heard the gun blast

It left the problem unsolved

Now I'm gonna sum up

People gettin' hurt in the process of the come up

Gotta get with fools

That'll wait for you to run up

Rollin' in the hood

That's already shot up

Pocket full of gats

And see if we can spot the-

Homie that's slick

In the process of the dip

When we find this out

Gonna unload the clip!

Then take a little trip down to Rio

My neighborhood's hot and so

I gots to go chill

'Cause I put away the shotgun

Borrow me a Glock

Took a little trip to the funky weed spot

Tried to jack me but homie got shot

La-la-la-lalala-la!

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Kickin' that funky Cypress Hill shit

Think I'll load a clip

Let's see if you can deal with

'Cause the bulletproof vest ain't shit

When the infrared's

Pointin' at your head kid

And that's just too bad yo

Now I'm headed up a river in a boat

In no paddle

Shoulda put the Glock down (Glock down)

Now they got me in lockdown

Livin' like a nigga who done lost his mind

'Cause self-defense turns to the offense

But nobody even really knows that (Knows that)

All they see is me and the gat

Up in the courtroom

Lookin' at the jury

Starin' down the punk ass

District Attorney

La-la-la-la-lala-la!

Verdict's in

You're not guilty as charged

When I put away my shotgun

Borrow me a Glock

Took a little trip to the funky weed spot

Tried to jack me but homie got shot

La-la-la-lalala-la!

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Understand where I'm comin' from

Self-defense turns to the offense (Cypress Hill)

Understand where I'm comin' from (Cypress Hill)
