Dust
Cypress Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make certain that no stone stands
That no creature crawls
I command you to let lose the last of the Titans

It's time to strike!

Let the rain pour down from God above
With the blood of my blade, no love, begin the flood
Open the gates, let the battle begin, wherein
With wind at our backs, ready for any attacks
Sound the horns, prepare for war, begin the storm
The flaming arrows hitting your body, keeping you warm
With the uniform of my sworn enemies
You raped and pillaged my city, and spread disease
Feel the sword of the warrior's wrath, the path you take
Can lead to the math that the master's break
The clash of the titans, are you frightened of loss
Fighting with the cause to free, you and yours, and God's law
Look in the stars, aligned with sign and Mars
Destruction, what's your function, you roll with God

Attention, attention

The soul of the master's elements, disaster
Breaking ya faster, transmitting the broadcaster
The blade swings, slashing your throat
The vision's on the mission, seeking the note
Dropping the bomb, by remote
Load up the cavalry's, no salaries, the keys
The life's memories, strife bringing the thieves
Cut the heads off, hide in the loft, don't even cough
Or breath, pay the cost, moving your life's lost
Let the spirit reunite, with your weapon, you wanna fight
Hear the sound of the warriors stepping into the night
The eye in the sky, looking to punish ya, never hide
No cover to shelter your life, the souls begin to rise
And to clash

Attention, attention

God's enemies, fall in upon, the knees crawling
Beheading the dead souls, who runaway from their calling
Behold, the white horse, remorse, never the case
Every corner of the world, the battle is taking place
Let the war drum set the pace, you face fire
Resume, from the Temple of Boom, and seek higher thought
Maybe you live, or maybe not, the blade's hot
Many renegades ready for battle, die on the spot
With one shot, one whole city becomes rocked
The clash rages on, people remain calm
Good, bad, all in the balance, you going mad
You can never tell, heaven or hell, the blood shed
And it's all around, you can't run, sit in the cell
When the war's over, the light will shine, covering the spell
Celebrate now, put the blades to rest
No wickedness, only the blessed will hold down

Attention




You creating hysteria
Attention, attention

Celebrate now, put the blades to rest
Rejoice now that the battle is finished, put the weapons away


No wickedness, only the blessed will hold down
There will be no more evil, only those who are blessed will reign


You creating hysteria
You're causing mass panic and chaos

Lyrics:
As we bust out on the scene like a machine with a team
Looking for theme between cracks searching for cream
Physical energy can never be lost
Never be cleverly read or took on into the search of your own
Suckers are looking for treasures and pleasures endeavors images of plastic
Material whenever you're ready and steady rolling with deadly and friendly
Territorial glorious story I've heard nothing but hate for me
Coming from ghetto the gueros are holding the metal
Settle for gas as we passing you by sticking the pedal
Down to the floor and the horror is starting to pour
Everything I just threatened your blood you can't take it no more
Why did you try to forget it I said it to FUCK OFF!!
Now you'll be headed said I'm making you try to do laws
That's what you get for fronting I'm hunting em all
Giving them suckers a push and they fall
[Chorus:]

Got what you want got what you need the hardcore
Breaking the law the new seed yes they want more
Cypress Hill Soul Assassins we smokin
420 all day we ain't joking
Serving up none less than the hard stuff
Excess of the zes make it sound right
Beat it up all you want it's a damn right
Get up in my way I'll smoke your ass like dust

???? is loaded with snakes serpents who come and they take
Pieces of those who they break bodies are found in the lake
Only the victim is passed you got what you wanted last
Pockets are loaded with cash now that you're actually grass
Time keeps ticking and slipping away
Look at you tricking I'm sicking its clicking the trigger
And so is your place
Only the strong will survive hoping to keep it alive
I'll never be denied watch in who you confide
People are out on the prowl looking for those
Who obey dying like these killas defy so I keep fucking with y'all
Join fucking with the pace your just a waste in my face
Hit you with bass in your case give you all just a taste
Even the lemo the rebel bringing the metal with treble
So many rebels incredible time we battle
You're looking for answers no chances or victory dances
Don't give me no glances you'er all through in time no advances
[Chorus:]

Got what you want got what you need the hardcore
Breaking the law the new seed yes they want more
Cypress Hill Soul Assassins we smokin
420 all day we ain't joking
Serving up none less than the hard stuff
Excess of the zes make it sound right
Beat it up all you want it's a damn right
Get up in my way I'll smoke your ass like dust

Under the heavens with weapons step in directions of flesh and feeling the heat
The tension now dissin' and stressin'
Life is a battlefield the gat'll kill really die
Think of how that'll feel Sen will gladly build up your high
And going through changes the pages keep turning and burning
The rage is concerning the stage is becoming the sermon
Searching for harmony you wanna be balling me
But you never get no where cause I'm killing your whole philosophy
Rising like temperature a signature flow when we just scavengers
And wait your posse watch I'm truly tipping ya
Must be sipping the liquid to try to get with the sickness
Only the hardest will limp in and only the thrill when we get it?
I'm an assassin of soul out of control when I roll
You better hide in your hole I got your name on my skull
There ain't no running from me assassin are cunning you see
Blasting at those who obey clashing and lashing the weak!
[Chorus:]

Got what you want got what you need the hardcore
Breaking the law the new seed yes they want more
Cypress Hill Soul Assassins we smokin
420 all day we ain't joking
Serving up none less than the hard stuff
Excess of the zes make it sound right
Beat it up all you want it's a damn right
Get up in my way I'll smoke your ass like dust

This is a kick ass song off the Skull and Bones album. I always loved the Bones side better than the skull side.
Had this CD since release. Haven't cranked it for ages though!

Joe Johnson

Best song on the album. I listen to this while I lift weights. Gets me going every time.
