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
