Cypress Hill - Dead Man's Gun lyrics
[Cypress Hill - Dead Man's Gun lyrics]
"Am I a good maaaaaaan?
Am I good maaaaaaaan? Am I a foooool?
Am I fooooooool? "
It was a cold dark night in December
Running from the po-po's the alleyway I enter
Trying to hideaway - when I stumbled on a gun
And nobody's knows nothing about -
Where it came from!
And nothing hotter then the summers in June
Who knows how many souls -
They put in the tomb
When I picked it up man, I felt alot of pain
After it went away - I felt a sudden change
Like - I can do anything -
And don't get in my way!
I'm scared for my family!
- They couldn't understand
With gun in my hand - I became - another man
No more running and hiding away from the cops
No more getting robbed from the
Dudes on the block
You're looking at a new man in
The light of the sun
You're staring down the barrel of
A dead man's gun! (dead man's gun)
Cause you never know what's
Around them corners
Enemies try to run up on us!
So I keep that gun right by my siide
If you want it you gotta take my liiiife
And if you got problems, I got answers!
Anyway you want it, it don't mat-ter!
"If you got hard - I'm a go harder!
" - You gotta take my liiiife!
You walk into a dream and
Shit feels like a game
Everyone is different - but they
All end up the same
Even the places - and the faces all change
At the end of the dream - I
Could see - the bullets rain!
I thought it was me who brought
These people to the death
'Til I noticed a funny thing
I was standing on the left!
Looking at other people with their
Hands on the gun
And pulling the trigger - until
Their enemies were done!
And with each hand that held
The gun it got deeper
They ended a question against the
Shoulder of the Reaper! (yeeeahhh)
They all look invincible with the
Weapon that was cursed
Until it was their turn -
To ride in the hearse!
Seems like the history - is
Passing down to me (GO)
Cause my finger was itching
(GO) to go after my enemies (GO)
I welcome them all
(GO) with the best on my chest (GO)
Because I put 'em
(GO) to the test and laid those
Bodies to rest (bodies the rest)
Spring for more pimpin' - it's time passes by
And people are telling me about
The look in my eye
Sayin' it seems there's a chip on my shoulder
And for some reason my
Attitude has gotten bolder!
I knew it was true -
Cause, I felt myself changin'
But, I don't care what they think
Cause, I'm still the same man
I don't show weakness -
Anymore without a question
Don't wanna be stressin' and have to
Teach them rappers a lesson!
Never a time - I felt so alive (GO)
An' situations
(GO) I thrive - like bees to a hive (GO)
I murder these (GO) new kids - who got
Something against me (GO) the thought of you
(GO) talkin' shit - really
Fuckin' offends me! (GO)
In no time at all we come back to each other
Seems like I've seen it before -
I swear it on my mother!
Seen my body on the floor -
With the dead man's gun! (dead man's gun)
You gotta take my liiiife (liiiife)
You gotta take my liiiife (liiiife)
You gotta take my liiiife (liiiife)
Am I good maaaaaaaan? Am I a foooool?
Am I fooooooool? "
