How it is
Artist: Biohazard f/ Cypress Hill Album: State of the World Address Song: How It Is "Hey yo, what up baby! Yeah this is Cypress Hill, Biohazard steppin' to Ya Brooklyn, East-Side LA, what up now!" Look into the eyes of a madman You can see it in his face, he's a weak and sad man Staring straight ahead, his eyes set like stone With a nine millimeter cocked at your dome No way out, it's too late cause you're already in it So what ya gonna do you'll be dead in a minute Thinking slow will get you nowhere fast A young life terminated with one short blast You live like that, you die like this That 's how it is Livin' with regret ain't no way to live That's how it is You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss That's how it is yo That's how it is That's what you get for living like this With a bullet in your head - you're dead, you can't miss Ain't no time for regret when your body's in a bag Ain't no time to change your mind when your head begins to sag Shoulda known better, ain't working for you now If you'd know better you'd be here somehow So change your ways before you ways change you With a hole in your head that you can see through You're looking up and you're looking down Shots are rippin' out from all around You're crying out for help but it can't be found The voice of regret is the only sound You live like that, you die like this That 's how it is Livin' with regret ain't no way to live That's how it is You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss That's how it is yo That's how it is You live like that, you die like this That 's how it is Livin' with regret ain't no way to live That's how it is You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss That's how it is yo That's how it is You play the game and you pay the price For hustlin' in the gutter with the motherfuckin' street lice But sooner or later what goes around comes around You wind up dead and buried in the hard, cold ground Dead and buried in the hard, cold ground Dead and buried in the hard! Cold! Ground! "Cypress Hill, once again, my symphony, steppin' to ya. So back on up Ese, cause the 'Hazard is backin' me up homes!" You're looking up and you're looking down Shot's are rippin' out from all around You're crying out for help but it can't be found The voice of regret is the only sound!!! You live like that, you die like this That 's how it is Livin' with regret ain't no way to live That's how it is You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss That's how it is yo That's how it is You live like that, you die like this That 's how it is Livin' with regret ain't no way to live That's how it is You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss That's how it is yo That's how it is

Tales from the hard side HARD SIDE! Your cards were dealt when you drove through the night As a man in dark clothes came into your sight The barrel tapped the glass, you reached the window lock Get the fuck out the car and leave it in the crosswalk He climbed into your seat and dropped a vial of crack Pissin' down your leg, you're a victim of carjack Feel the cold steel as I pull the hammer back BANG! You're fuckin' dead 'cause it's like that Society pushed him down and out Soul provider what's it all about Another bad hand, the cards have been dealt Kid of fourteen, high aspiration held To get ahead and run shit with his powerful will Told by his role model you're old enough to kill See my ride, my bitches and my loot If ya want to survive be prepared to shoot Stay hard like me and you're bound to do well A waste of precious life, twenty five with an L Society pushed him down and out Soul provider what's it all about Religion, faith, can we do without Social pressure, we're too STRUNG OUT Tales from the hard side HARD SIDE! Motherfucker! I'll put a bullet in your head for the color of your skin This is my neighborhood who the fuck let you in I'll stick with mine, stay with your own kind The virus of hate infects the ignorant mind Society pushed him down and out Soul provider what's it all about Religion, faith, can we do without Social pressure, we're too STRUNG OUT
