Cypress Hill - Dead Man's Gun Lyrics
(feat. Young De)[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 DecemberRunning from the po-po's the alleyway I enter.Trying to hideaway - when I stumbled on a gunAnd nobody's knows nothing about - where it came from!And nothing hotter then the summers in JuneWho 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 changeLike - I can do anything. - And don't get in my way!I'm scared for my family! - They couldn't understandWith 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 sunYou'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 cornersEnemies try to run up on us!So I keep that gun right by my siideIf 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 shit feels like a gameEveryone is different - but they all end up the same.Even the places - and the faces all changeAt 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 gunAnd pulling the trigger - until their enemies were done!And with each hand that held the gun it got deeperThey 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...)[Chorus][B-Real:]Spring for more pimpin' - it's time passes byAnd people are telling me about the look in my eye.Sayin' it seems there's a chip on my shoulderAnd 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 questionDon'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 *****in' offends me! (GO!)In no time at all we come back to each otherSeems like I've seen it before. - I swear it on my mother!A shot [shot] rang out - and then my hands went numbSeen 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]
