Boom
Cypress Hill & Fugees Lyrics

Boom biddy bye bye
A violent goodbye to the person being targeted

Step back as I'm kicking up dust
Making a powerful entrance and imposing presence

For a while
Taking control for a period of time

As I put motherfuckers to rest
To kill and bury opposition

And pull their files
Investigating the opposition

Out from the cabinet
Retrieving files from a secret area

With the picture
Having a clear image of who to target

Get the 45 and settle it
Get the weapon and handle business

With this punk nigga
Directed at a specifically targeted person

Slow your roll
Chill out and relax

As I take control
Establishing power and control over the situation

Take your toke from the Indo'
Smoking marijuana to enhance the situation

Then hit and hold
To hold in the smoke

Now let it out
To exhale the smoke

How you feel when the herb
The effects of smoking marijuana

Got you by the balls
The powerful grip of marijuana's effects

And you're coughing up a lung anyhow
Negative side effects from smoking marijuana

You can't shake
Unable to escape a situation

That nigga that's gonna brake
The individual who is going to ruin the situation

Fool
A derogatory term for the opposition

On any one member of your bitch crew
Targeting any member of the opposing group

As I pull the trigger
To pull the trigger and shoot

On my nine
A reference to the weapon being used

Say goodnight nigga
Death to the opposition

Boom biddy bye bye
A violent goodbye to the person being targeted

Put your ass on the floor an' don't ask why
A warning to obey or face death

I put my Glock to your dome and you started to cry
Threatening and intimidating the opponent

Any last prayers before you die
Giving the opponent a chance to pray before death

Rock-a-bye nigga boom biddy bye bye
A final farewell indicating the target will soon be dead

You ain't never caught a rabbit
A reference to being incompetent and useless

So you ain't no friend of mine
Disregarding incompetent people

It's a habit
Habits are hard to break

Barkin' up your tree with my nine
Threatening with a weapon

Keep your bitch on a leash or at home
Keeping women under control

A nick knack
A small trivial item

Paddywack
A nonsensical word used for rhyming purposes

Give the dog a bone
Rewarding obedient behavior

The raw dog
Promoting raw, rugged behavior

Fuck a law dog
Disregarding authority figures

Still handin' out beat-downs wit' my sawed-off
Using a sawed off shotgun to cause damage

'Cause every now and then I got to knuckle up
Having to fight occasionally

Buckle up
Get ready for the ride

Chin checking
Hitting someone in the face

It's on I reckon
It's go time

It's the wild wild west
A reference to the violent west

Get your 40 and your blunt and your Glock and your bulletproof vest
Preparing for a violent altercation

Let me guess
Predictable behavior

Everybody want to test
Opposition wanting to provoke a fight

Everybody burning up, gonna get burned like Ses
The opposition will be defeated like sissies

Laudy daudy
Nonsensical rhyming filler

We're fucking everybody
Promoting sexual encounters and power

Boom biddy bye
A violent goodbye to the person being targeted

Sing the lullaby
Singing a violent farewell song

In the party
In the midst of the violent encounter

Yes yes y'all
Confirming the situation

To the beat y'all
Going along with the rhythm

Watch a punk slipin' see the puto fall
Watching the opponent slip and fall

I'm buck-loody
A reference to being buck wild or crazy

Looking for the nigga who want to cut me
Looking for the opposition who wants to harm me

'Cause the nigga gets so funky
The opponent causes trouble

Fool I'm the one
Establishing dominance and power

From the big bad Cypress Hill clica
A reference to the hip-hop group

Number one son of the funk freaka
The top dog of the funk lifestyle

I'll be the one with the mad Buddha blast y'all
Using marijuana to enhance the situation

Comin' from the west y'all
A reference to the west coast of the United States

But I figure
Making a calculated decision

You'd cry like a bitch
Assuming the opponent will act cowardly

Don't twitch
Not showing any movement or indication of harm

'Cause I just might pull the trigga
Threatening to shoot

Now lay down
Laying down the law and ordering obedience

Stay down
Stay still and do not move

Don't move a muscle if you see your homeboy's brains on the ground
Threatening to shoot someone's ally

Don't fuck don't say nothin'
Warning against speaking or moving

You fuck around and I might get ragamuffin
If you provoke me, I may show my wild side

Line up on the floor now you' all gonna die
Ordering the opposition to line up for execution

It's time to die
Indicating that the time to die has come

Time to say good-bye
Indicating the final farewell before death
