Phenomenon lyrics
by Cypress Hill
[Verse 1: B-Real]
As I ride through the city, I see the struggle is real
Situation is sh*tty, but they don't care what we feel
They don't care how we heal, beg, borrow, or steal
And if we have to kill each other it ain't no big deal
I see my brother's afflicted, he's been addicted for years
He used to roll with conviction, he's been convicted for years
His mother's in tears, but she never gave up on him
She saw somethin' within him and he will escape that drama
Cut it out like a cancer, takе a chance on ya talent
Precious timе we don't waste it, you got a shot, then you take it
Excuses are words to blur the lines ya heard
The work you never put in, they kicked ya to the curb
I got the remedy, come with me, I'm the wolf, you should run with me
Join the pack if you wanna see how we live through this Odyssey
With a vision no stoppin' me, I'm the light, come and follow me
If you need you can call on me, I'm a f*ckin' anomaly
[Pre-Chorus: Billy Morrison]
Ruthless, they the ones called Cypress, don't f*ck around, I think they might just
Damn, they did, take a look at the damage, on the rampage straight to the rib cage
[Chorus: Billy Morrison]
We coming at ya
We're something like a phenomenon
And we got it going on
You're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, ya you got it going on
I'm something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it going on
Something like a phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon
[Verse 2: Sen Dog]
I came up from somewhere that you've never been
Had to scrap and steal for damn near everything
Grew up in the presence of an honest man
Hard work in time for what a day plan
Mama had his bad, she was the strong type
Stand fast against anything she didn't like
From them two, I saw nothing but the very best
They ran a good race and passed every test
At thirteen, I f*cked around and started smoking weed
That led to jail and other sh*t I didn't need
It's okay 'cause I found my way out the craze
That made me get wild and prone to misbehave
Then, one day, I met up with the righteous crew
They had money and power and knew what to do
Since then I stay hustling every day
Money, success be finding me a different ways
[Pre-Chorus: Billy Morrison]
Ruthless, they the ones called Cypress, don't f*ck around, I think they might just
Damn, they did, take a look at the damage, on the rampage straight to the rib cage
[Chorus: Billy Morrison]
We coming at ya
We're something like a phenomenon
And we got it going on
You're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, ya you got it going on
I'm something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it going on
Something like a phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon
[Verse 3: Sen Dog, B-Real]
Became a man in the jungle made of concrete
Watch yourself before they put your ass on Front Street
All good, you got the numbers and the big heat
It's what it takes out here if you wanna compete
You got to roll with the punches, I have a hunch, you can bear it
You got a talent, then share it, this is what we inherit
Just let go of your vices, turn up your devices
Take a chance on a dream and witness the cream that rises
[Chorus: Billy Morrison]
We're something like a phenomenon
And we got it going on
You're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, ya you got it going on
I'm something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it going on
Something like a phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon
We're something like a phenomenon
We're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it going on
Something like a phenomenon
Something like a phenomenon
