It's another one of them old phunky Cypress Hill things, you know what I'm sayin'? And it goes like this:
Hey, don't miss out on what you're passing You're missing the hootah 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 outlaws stridin' While suckers are hidin' Jump behind the bush when you see me drivin' By Hanging out the window With my magnum taking out some putos Acting kind of loco I'm just another local Kid from the street getting paid from my vocals

I'm ignoring all the dumb shit Yo, because nothing is coming from it I'm not gonna waste no time fuckin' around my gat straight humming Hummin', Coming at ya Yeah ya know I had to gatt ya Time for some action Just a fraction of friction I got the clearance To run the interference Into your satellite Shining a battle light Sen got the gatt and I know that he'll gatt you 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 do you like my chrome then I watched the rookie pass out Didn't have to blast him 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 had to establish To lite My spliff ignite You with insight So if you ain't down, bullshit!

I think you'll play like a thug Next you hear the shot of a magnum slug Humming coming at ya Yeah ya know I'm gonna gatt ya! How you know where I'm at when you haven't been where I've been? Understand where I'm coming from When you're up on the hill in your big home I'm out here risking my dome Just for a bucket Or a fast duck it Just to stay alive, yo I got to 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

I heard he sang a good song I heard he had a style And so I came to see him To listen for a while And there he was this young boy A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever Embarassed by the crowd I felt he found my letters And read each one out loud I prayed that he would finish But he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me In all my dark despair And then he looked right through me As if I wasnt there But he was there this stranger Singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers Singing my life with his words Killing me softly with his song Killing me softly with his song Telling my whole life with his words Killing me softly with his song
just kick a little somethin' for them cars that be bumpin' somethin' real smooth you can just ride to tell me how you feel here we go... The day seems nice and bright and everything feels alright Went to school without a fool tryin' to pick a fight I was loced out Kris Kross shirts and khakis Lookin' and feelin' like nothin' but a Mac See the bell rang and I got my dash Fellin' good cause it was the last day of school and I passed No moms trippin' so me and my mom went dippin' To celebrate the fact that I wasn't slippin' The downtown scene was packed People screamin' from they ride to my ride and to the Mac I says "What I am is what I am is who I be" And yall should have seen how they was tryin' to get to me Cool, cause dissin' and no pay They're the reason why we are who we are to this very day And all that love keeps me and Chris tight Long as we give some love back everything's alright.
Now everything feels alright when I'm rollin' through my hood And I see the one that used to do the dirt then turned good Little kids try to be like me with the braids, the shades, some pants, and some Nikes, G And yet more letters, and the letters sayin' "I'm your number one fan could you write me back man?" Yesssss..... I try to pass 'em my autograph I try to do as many as I can Now it feels good when I'm rollin' through my hood Ain't nobody dissin' and a nigga thinks he's too good Cause I'm down like four flat tires Just a little nappy headed kid from the proj. Showin' I can do right and not do wrong Rappers and the Beejees comin' up strong And we ain't got no love for the side We only love those who love us back Right?
Now people seem to think what I do is a blast Cause I'm always on the road and I'm makin' some cash But they don't know Really know The pressure it is for some kids tryin to make it in this here biz Early mornin' interviews then we step to school Step from school Back to interviews then it's on to other dues So, warm it up Chris I said "Ya warm it up Chris" That's what I was born to do Now throw your hands in the air and wave from side-to-side If the feelin' thatcha feelin' is the feelin' of pride See, I ain't come out wack I come out right Unlike those 'mose who tried to pass the mike It's the Daddy Mac Big thing Everything is real but you wanna dis cause a nigga sold a couple mill. Look here, ya can't say nothin' if ya last in a line So when you dis it just lets me know I'm on your mind And it's alright
