[Orchestral Intro]
When I say Cypress you say Hill
Cypress
(Hill)
Cypress
(Hill)
When I say Cypress you say Hill
Cypress
(Hill)
Cypress
(Hill)
[Verse 1: B-Real]
Livin' on fat pockets on full with the gat
Rolling around the nine deuce Cadillac
I still got my homies to watch my back
And they'll smoke your ass if you wanna come and chat
That's why some pigs and the kids come sweatin'
And they follow a hollow point shell's hard to swallow (Come again)
Why wallow when they come to roll on?
I put the clip in my .45, bring it on
Left kicking dust as you hear the gat bust
My crib's surrounded, I'm about to get rushed
I brushed with death
How many shells stuffed in the closet
(Where the chrome Magnum's kept)
[Chorus: B-Real & Sen Dog]
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(When the shit goes down)
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(When the shit goes down)
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(When the shit goes down)
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(You better be ready, homeboy)
[Post-Chorus: B-Real, Sen Dog & DJ Lord]
What you gonna do when the shit goes down, Sen Dog?
(Gonna be ready)
What you gonna do when the shit goes down, DJ Lord?
(Gonna be ready)
What you gonna do when the shit goes down, London?
(Be ready!)
What you gonna do when the shit goes down?
(We are gonna be ready, homeboy)
[Verse 2: B-Real]
Go seeking the sawed off Glock and the rest of the gats
While I strapped on my bullet-proof vest
Oh, I think I caught one to my chest
Hot damn, I didn't wanna kill a man
Shit, I still stand tall with the Hill clan
Y'all better step back, who's about to fall?
Coming out blasting like Yosemite Sam
Get the cheese and the bread for the ham
[Chorus]
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(When the shit goes down)
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(When the shit goes down)
When the shit goes down, you better be ready
(When the shit goes down)
When the shit goes down, everybody be ready
(Better be ready, homeboy)
[Orchestral Outro]
(Hey)
(When the shit goes down)
What you gonna do when the shit goes down?
(Gonna be ready)
How you feeling, Sen? (Good)
I just want to say that I feel great
And it's an honor to be in London, England, once again
With people that have supported Cypress Hill from our very first album
And that's everyone here tonight
And I want all of us to have a good time and enjoy the funky Cypress Hill shit
