"Phenomenon" lyrics
Billy Morrison & Cypress Hill Lyrics
As I ride thru the city, I see the struggle is real
Situation is shitty; they don't care what we feel
They don't care if we heal—beg, borrow, or steal
And if we have to kill each other, it ain't no big deal
I see my brothers afflicted; he's been addicted for years
He used to roll with conviction; he's been convicted for years
His mother's in tears—she never gave up on him
She saw somethin' within him, and he will escape that drama
Cut it out like a cancer; take a chance on your talent
Precious time—we don't waste it; you got a shot, then you take it
Excuses are words to blur the lines—you heard
The work you never put in—they kicked you 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 thru 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 fuckin' anomaly
Ruthless—they the ones called Cypress
Don't fuck around; I think they might just...
...Damn, they did, take a look at the damage
On the rampage straight to the rib cage—we coming at ya
(We coming at ya)
We're something like a phenomenon
And we got it goin' on
You're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, you got it goin' on
I'm something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it goin' on
Something like a phenomenon, something like a phenomenon
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 and time—we had a game plan
Mama had his back; 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 13, I fucked around and started smoking weed
That led to jail and other shit 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
And since then, I stay hustling every day
Money, success be finding me a different way
Ruthless—they the ones called Cypress
Don't fuck around; I think they might just...
...Damn, they did, take a look at the damage
On the rampage straight to the rib cage—we coming at ya
We're something like a phenomenon
And we got it goin' on
You're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, you got it goin' on
I'm something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it goin' on
Something like a phenomenon, something like a phenomenon
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 gotta roll with the punches—I have a hunch, can you 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
We're something like a phenomenon
And we got it goin' on
You're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, you got it goin' on
I'm something like a phenomenon
Yeah, I got it goin' on
Something like a phenomenon, something like a phenomenon
We're something like a phenomenon
We're something like a phenomenon
Yeah, we got it goin' on
Something like a phenomenon, something like a phenomenon
Situation is shitty; they don't care what we feel
They don't care if we heal—beg, borrow, or steal
And if we have to kill each other, it ain't no big deal
I see my brothers afflicted; he's been addicted for years
He used to roll with conviction; he's been convicted for years
His mother's in tears—she never gave up on him

Cut it out like a cancer; take a chance on your talent
