How I Could Just Kill a Man (radio / clean version) Lyrics

[Intro:]
"Just another one of them old phunky Cypress Hill things, you know what I'm sayin'?
As we go a little something like this:"

[Verse 1:]
Hey, don't miss out on what you're passing
You're missing the hootah
Of the funky buddha
Eluder of your wick wack 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

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
[Hook:]
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

[Verse 2:]
I'm ignoring all the dumb stuff
Yo, because nothing is coming from it
I'm not gonna waste no time comin' around my gat straight humming
Hummin', coming at ya
Yeah ya 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
Shining a battle light
Sen got the gat and I know that he'll gat 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
[Hook:]
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

[Verse 3:]
It's gonna be a long time before I finish
One of the many missions that I had to establish
To light my spliff ignite
You with insight
So if you ain't down, bullshit

Say some punk tried to get you for your auto
Would you call the One-time and play the role model?
No! 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 gat 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 ducket
Just to stay alive, yo I got to say "fuck it!"
[Hook:]
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

[Outro:]
"All I wanted was a Pepsi!"
"What does it all mean?"
