Lyrics

It's time, I came to get mine

Expressing a determination to claim what is rightfully theirs.

Runnin' through the hoods with a hand on the nine

Running through dangerous neighborhoods with a handgun ready.

Why do the pigs come?

Raising the question of police presence or interference.

Bring your ass on cross the line so I can get the blast on

Challenging someone to cross a line and face consequences.

Oh shit, I'm empty, but I got a shank on the side so don't even tempt me

Being out of ammunition but having a concealed weapon (shank).

Runnin' the program, Cypress Hill on the real

Executing a plan with Cypress Hill in a genuine manner.

With the Pearl Jam and I'm packin' the steel

Collaborating with Pearl Jam and carrying a firearm.

Don't come my way, 'cause it only takes one minute to reach for the AK

Warning others not to approach, as aggression can escalate quickly.

Then pow!, whatcha' gonna do now

Describing the swift and deadly action with a firearm.

Nowhere to run when my dog's on the prow

No escape when the danger is actively searching.

Prowlin', howlin', give it up punk, you might want to throw the towel in

Prowling and howling, demanding surrender in a confrontation.

I like doin' the ill thing, 'cause ain't nothin' like the real thing

Expressing a preference for engaging in illicit activities.


It ain't nothin' like the real thing

Emphasizing the uniqueness and authenticity of real experiences.

It ain't nothin' like the real

Reiterating the unparalleled nature of genuine situations.

Ain't nothin' but the real thing

Stressing the authenticity and reality of the experiences.

Ain't nothin' but the Hill

Affirming the connection to Cypress Hill as the real thing.

Ain't nothin' but the real thing

Repeating the assertion of genuine experiences.

Ain't nothin' but the real

Reaffirming the connection to real, authentic experiences.

Ain't nothin' but the real thing

Emphasizing the real and authentic nature of experiences.

Ain't nothin' but the Hill

Reaffirming the connection to Cypress Hill as the real thing.


Keep me a tazer up in the blazer

Keeping a stun gun in the car and a concealed firearm.

And the black nine by the waistline

Carrying a black nine-millimeter gun at the waistline.

Never know when someone'll test ya'

Being prepared for potential challenges or threats.

Let you know I got mine by my body, yes why'all

Asserting possession of a weapon for self-defense.

I'm the victim that became the attacker

Having transformed from a potential victim to a proactive defender.

Have my little friend waitin' for the carjacker

Having a small weapon ready for potential carjackers.

That'll do anything for the looper

Willing to take extreme measures for protection.

When I leave the Hill I strack when I swoop

Maintaining a sense of readiness and alertness when leaving.


Clack, clack, bang, bang, 'cause it ain't no thang

Indicating a nonchalant attitude towards violence.

When I hang with Stone and I kick that funky slang

Enjoying a good time with Stone (possibly a reference to Pearl Jam).

I got the funk when I got ta' do the ill thing

Finding satisfaction in engaging in risky behavior.

'Cause ain't nothin' like the real thing

Expressing the pleasure derived from engaging in authentic actions.

Ain't nothin' like the real thing } (2x)

Reiterating the uniqueness and authenticity of genuine experiences.

Ain't nothin but the real }

Reaffirming the connection to real, authentic experiences.


Ain't nothin' like the real thing } (2x)

Emphasizing the unparalleled nature of genuine situations.

Ain't nothin' but the Hill }

Reaffirming the connection to Cypress Hill as the real thing.
