Cypress Hill介紹
樂隊的原始成員包括了DJ Muggs (原名b. Lawrence Muggerud, 生於1968年1月28日,紐約皇后區,義大利移民後裔)，歌手B-Real (原名b. Louis Freese, 生於1970年6月2日, 洛杉磯人，古巴/墨西哥移民後裔)以及Sen Dog (原名b. Senen Reyes,生於1965年11月20日，古巴移民)。Sen Dog在14歲的時候從自己的故鄉古巴移民到洛杉磯。他和他的弟弟Mellow Man Ace組成了樂隊的雛形，當時名字叫DVX，並且宣稱自己的風格是獨創一家的西班牙俚語風格，樂隊還包括了前7A3樂隊成員DJ Muggs和 B-Real。當Mellow Man Ace離開樂隊開始單飛，其餘成員決定把樂隊名改為當地街區的名字。
但樂隊取得巨大成功並不是因為這個，而是得益於他們流暢的融合了R&B的曲風，而其含糊不清的演唱和偶爾涉及槍枝的內容為他們庸懶的節奏增色不少。
歌詞
It's another one of them ol' funky Cypress Hill things
YouknowhatI'msayin?
And it goes like thisss...
Hey don't miss out on what your passin
You're missin the hoota of the funky Buddha
Eluder or the fucked up styles to get wicked
So come on as cypress starts to kick it
Cuz we're like the outlaw stridin
Suckers are hidein
Jump behind the bush when they see me driving
by
Hangin out my window
And my magnum takin out some puto's
Acting kinda loco
I'm just another local
Kid from from the street getting paid for my
vocals
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
I been doin' all the dumb shit,
yo, because I bet it's comin' from it
I'm not gonna waste no time,
fuckin' around like I got ya hummin
Hummin'... comin' at cha...
And you 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 sattelite, shinin a battle light,
swing out the gat, and I know that will gat ya 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 ass-out.
How you like my chrome?", then I watched the rookie pass out.
Didn't have to blast him, but I did anyway...
Hahaha... that young punk had to pay.
So I just killed a man!
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
It's gonna be a long time before I finish
one of the many missions that I have to establish
To light my spliff, ignite ya with these sights
and if you ain't down: bullshit!
Say some punk try to get you for your auto,
Would you call the one-time, play the role model?
No, I think you play like a thug
Next hear the shot of a magnum slug
Hummin', comin' at cha
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 ducat
just to stay alive, aiyyo I gotta say "fuck it".
(Be-Real) Here is something you can't understand
(Sen Dog) How I could just kill a man
Chorus:
All I wanted was a Pepsi
