Makin funky music is a must... I'm #1! [one echoes]
|
|
People still takin rappin for a joke
|
A passing hope, or a phase with the rope
|
Sometime I choke and try to believe
|
when I get challenged by a million MC's
|
I try and tell them, we're all in this together
|
My album was raw, because no one would ever
|
think like I think, or do what I do
|
I stole the show, then I leave without a clue
|
Whattayou think makes up Cypress Hill?
|
Concisive teaching, or very clear speaking
|
Ridiculous bass, aggravating treble
|
Rebel, renegade, must stay paid
|
Not by financial aid, but the break of hits
|
causing me to take long trips
|
I'm the original, teacher of this type of style
|
Rockin off beat with a smile or smirk
|
or chuckle, yet some are not up to
|
Cypress Hill Posse, so I love to
|
step in the jam and slam, I'm not Superman
|
Cause anybody can
|
or should be able, to rock a turntable
|
Grab the mic, plug it in and begin
|
But here's where the problem starts, no heart
|
Because of that, a lot of groups fell apart
|
Rap is still an art, and no one's from the old school
|
cause rap is still a brand new cool
|
I say no one from the old school cause rap on the whole
|
isn't even twenty years old
|
Fifty years down the line, you can start this
|
Cause we'll be the old school artists
|
And even in that time I'll say a rhyme
|
A brand new style, ruthless and wild
|
Runnin around, spendin money havin fun
|
Cause even then, I'm still #1! [one echoes]
|
|
Soul Assassin crew of course
|
comes to express with styles galore
|
Ways of rhyming, old and new
|
Past and present, knock knock who is it?
|
A brand new style, RRRAH time to change
|
People talk about me when they see me on stage
|
Live in action, guaranteed raw
|
I hang with the rich and I work for the poor
|
And after all you can say you saw
|
Cypress Hill, stompin once more
|
I play it by ear, I love to steer
|
the fifty-seven Bel Air from here to there
|
I grab the beer, but not in the ride
|
Cause I'm not stupid I don't drink and drive
|
I'm not a beginner, amateur or local
|
My album is sellin, because of my vocals
|
You know what you need to learn?
|
Old school artists don't always burn
|
You're just another rapper whose had his turn
|
now it's my turn, and I am concerned
|
about idiots, posing as kings
|
What are we here to rule, I thought we're 'sposed to sing
|
And if we are to sing, then let us begin to teach
|
Many of you are educated open your mouth and speak
|
A Cypress Hill soldier, is something like a total renegade
|
Except I don't steal I rhyme to get paid
|
Airplanes flyin, overseas people dyin
|
politicians lyin I'm tryin
|
not to escape, but hit the problem head-on
|
from bringin out the truth in the song
|
So C-H-P short for Cypress Hill Production
|
Made a little noise cause the crew was sayin somethin
|
People have the nerve to take me for a gangsta
|
an ignorant one, somethin closer to a prankster
|
Doin petty crimes goin straight to penetentiary
|
but in the scale of crime that's really elementary
|
This beat is now compellin me, to explain the silence
|
why my last jam was so violent
|
It's simple, Cypress Hill will teach reality
|
No beatin around the bush, straight up, just like 'My Weed is Free'
|
So now you know, a poet's job is never done
|
But I'm never overworked, cause I'm still #1! [one echoes]
