I'm Still #1 Lyrics - Cypress Hill

Funkmaster Flex, is down with us 

KRS-One, he's down with us 

The Wu-Tang Clan is down with us 

Busta Rhymes you know he's down with us 

Naughty and Fat Joe are down with us 

The MAAD Circle are down with us 

Def Squad, is down with us 

[Unverified] DN's and Mike M [unverified] are down with us 

Dr. Dre you know he's down with us 

Julio G he's down with us 

Sway and King Tech are down with us 

Makin' funky music is a must I'm #1 

People still takin' rappin' for a joke 

A passing hope, or a phase with the rope 

Sometime I choke and try to believe 

When I get challenged by a million MC's

Watch Ariana Grande Sing Her Hits On Carpool Karaoke 

I try and tell them, we're all in this together 

My album was raw, because no one would ever 

Think like I think, or do what I do 

I stole the show, then I leave without a clue 

Whatta you think makes up Cypress Hill? 

Concisive teaching, or very clear speaking 

Ridiculous bass, aggravating treble 

Rebel, renegade, must stay paid 

Not by financial aid but the break of hits 

'Causing me to take long trips 

I'm the original, teacher of this type of style 

Rockin' off beat with a smile or smirk 

Or chuckle, yet some are not up to 

Cypress Hill Posse, so I love to 

Step in the jam and slam, I'm not Superman 

'Cause anybody can 

Photos 

Or should be able, to rock a turntable 

Grab the mic, plug it in and begin 

But here's where the problem starts, no heart 

Because of that, a lot of groups fell apart 

Rap is still an art, and no one's from the old school 

'Cause rap is still a brand new cool 

I say no one from the old school 'cause rap on the whole 

Isn't even twenty years old 

Fifty years down the line, you can start this 

'Cause we'll be the old school artists 

And even in that time, I'll say a rhyme 

A brand new style, ruthless and wild 

Runnin' around, spendin' money havin' fun 

'Cause even then, I'm still #1 

Soul Assassin crew of course 

Comes to express with styles galore 

Ways of rhyming, old and new 

Past and present, knock knock who is it? 

A brand new style, time to change 

People talk about me when they see me on stage 

Live in action, guaranteed raw 

I hang with the rich and I work for the poor 

And after all you can say you saw 

Cypress Hill, stompin' once more 

I play it by ear, I love to steer 

The fifty-seven Bel Air from here to there 

I grab the beer, but not in the ride 

'Cause I'm not stupid, I don't drink and drive 

I'm not a beginner, amateur or local 

My album is sellin', because of my vocals 

You know what you need to learn? 

Old school artists don't always burn 

You're just another rapper whose had his turn 

Now it's my turn, and I am concerned 

About idiots, posing as kings 

What are we here to rule, I thought we're 'sposed to sing 

And if we are to sing, then let us begin to teach 

Many of you are educated open your mouth and speak 

A Cypress Hill soldier, is something like a total renegade 

Except I don't steal, I rhyme to get paid 

Airplanes flyin', overseas people dyin' 

Politicians lyin', I'm tryin' 

Not to escape, but hit the problem head-on 

From bringin, out the truth in the song 

So C H P short for Cypress Hill Production 

Made a little noise 'cause the crew was sayin' somethin' 

People have the nerve to take me for a gangsta 

An ignorant one, somethin' closer to a prankster 

Doin petty crimes goin' straight to penetentiary 

But in the scale of crime that's really elementary 

This beat is now compellin' me, to explain the silence 

Why my last jam was so violent 

It's simple, Cypress Hill will teach reality 

No beatin' around the bush, straight up, just like my weed is free 

So now you know, a poet's job is never done 

But I'm never overworked, 'cause I'm still #1 

MC Eiht, he's down with us 

Big Boy and Ralph M are down with us 

ReFugee Camp, is down with us 

Khartoum and Vigga V are down with us 

Call O' Da Wild is down with us 

Psycho Realm, is down with us 

Lifestyle Car Club is down with us 

Makin' funky music is a must, I'm #1
