Cypress Hill - Dead Man's Gun lyrics

[Intro: Sample from Them Two's - "Am I A Good Man"] "Am I a good maaaaaaan? Am I good maaaaaaaan? Am I a foooool? Am I fooooooool? " [B-Real:] 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, Like a shot [shot] thru the brain - for reasons I can't explain! 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...) [Chorus: Young De] 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! "One shot from the Revolver [shot] - can solve it! " Anyway you want it, it don't mat-ter! "If you got hard. - I'm a go harder! " - You gotta take my liiiife! [B-Real:] You walk into a dream and sh** 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 d**h '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 pa**ing 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...) [Chorus] [B-Real:] Spring for more pimpin' - it's time pa**es 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' sh** - really f**in' 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! A shot [shot] rang out - and then my hands went numb Seen my body on the floor - with the dead man's gun! (dead man's gun...) [Chorus] [Outro: Young De] You gotta take my liiiife... (liiiife...) You gotta take my liiiife... (liiiife...) You gotta take my liiiife... (liiiife...) You gotta take my liiiife... (liiiife...) [echoes] [beat stops]
