It's another one of them ol' funky Cypress Hill things

You know what I'm sayin?

And it goes like this

Hey don't miss out on what you're passin'

You're missin', the hoota of the funky Buddha

Eluder of your fucked up styles, I get wicked

So come on as Cypress starts to kick it

'Cause we're like the outlaw stridin', when suckers are hidin'

Jump behind the bush when they see me drivin'

By, hangin' out the window

With my Magnum takin' out some putos

Actin' kinda loco, I'm just another local

Kid from the street gettin' paid from my vocals

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

I'm ignorin' all the dumb shit

Yo, because nothing is comin' from it

I'm not gonna waste no time fuckin' around

My gat straight hummin'

Hummin', comin' at cha

And you know I had to gat ya

Time for some action, just a fraction of friction

I got the clearance to run the interference

Into your satellite, shinin' a battle light

Sen got the gat, and I know that'll gat ya right

Here's an example, just a little sample

How I could just kill a man!

One-time tried to come in my home

Take my chrome, I said "Yo, it's on

Take cover son, or you're assed-out

How you like my chrome?"

Then I watched the rookie pass out

Didn't have to blast out, but I did anyway

That young punk had to pay

So I just killed a man!

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

It's gonna be a long time before I finish

One of the many missions that I have to establish

To light my spliff, ignite ya with insights

And if you ain't down, bullshit!

Say some punk try to get you for your auto

Would you call the one-time, play the role model?

No, I think you play like a thug

Next ya hear the shot of a Magnum slug

Hummin', comin' at cha

Yeah ya know I'm gonna gat ya

So how do ya know where I'm at

When you haven't been where I've been?

Understand where I'm comin' from?

When you're up on the hill in your bigger home

I'm out here riskin' my dome

Just for a bucket, or a fast ducat

Just to stay alive, ay yo I gotta say "fuck it"

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

How I could just kill a man

Here is something you can't understand

All I wanted was a Pepsi
