Illusions

Cypress Hill, 1995

[B-Real:]

Some people tell me that I need help

Some people can fuck off and go to hell

God damn, why they criticize me

Now shit is on the rise so my family despise me

Fuck 'em! And feed 'em, 'cause I don't need 'em

I won't join 'em if I can beat 'em

They don't understand my logic

To my gat to my money and I'm hooked on chronic

I never wanted to hurt a nigga

Unless ya come flexin' that trigger, I dig ya

That grave on the east side of town

Lay ya six feet underground

From man, to the dust to the ashes

All I remember tell me where the cash is

Click-clack, barrel at my dome

Give all your loot or you ain't goin' home

But I ain't goin' out with a bang

Wa da da dang, wa dada daa dang

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's drivin' me mad inside

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's fuckin' me up in my mind

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's drivin' me mad inside

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's fuckin' me up in my mind

Motherfuckers be drivin' me up the walls

Hopin' that I fall but they can lick my balls

Straight jacket, strap it

In a padded room when some punk niggas can't hack it

Distracted from all reality

Now I'm let out on a minor technicality

(Ah) They all fucked up now

'Cause they let a nigga back on the streets somehow

I'm lookin' for someone like me

Livin' in my own world to my own degree

On the loose in the city lookin' at the ho wit' the big titties

Lookin' at me and I feel shitty

A little tensed up gettin' hot

'Cause she looks like my girl who got smoked at the crack spot

I'm tryin' to find ways to cope

But I ain't fuckin' 'round with the gauge or a rope

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's drivin' me mad inside

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's fuckin' me up in my mind

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's drivin' me mad inside

I'm havin' illusions, all this confusion's fuckin' me up in my mind

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions

I'm havin' illusions
