Amplified
Ian Eskelin Lyrics

I be that short temper, high style rhyme bringer
I am a rapper with an attitude and a strong delivery

Life style got wild, similar to rock singer
My lifestyle is crazy and comparable to that of a rockstar

Check me on the big screen, livin' out my dream
You can see me on the big screen, living my dream as a successful artist

Cypress, assassin, SX, Latin thug thing
I represent the Latin hip-hop scene, particularly from South Central LA

Fools need to get back, I ain't really with that
People who act foolishly should stay away from me because I don't tolerate that behavior

Flavor of the month, programmers try to dispatch
Programmers try to push trendy artists, but I won't be controlled by them

Always got the good batch, take it to the head
I always have quality music that people enjoy and consume heavily

Got you wasted like Jerry from the 'Grateful dead'
My music can intoxicate you like Jerry Garcia's music and lifestyle

Don't trip, get a grip, be strong and don't fake it
Don't worry, stay strong and authentic

Or else you get beat down and stripped butt naked
Otherwise, you'll face violent consequences and humiliation

I just kicked the lyric, straight from the spirit
My lyrics come from my soul or inner being

You can tell I got soul first time that you hear it
Upon hearing my music, you can sense the depth of my creative expression

When you chill with the hill, keep your mouth sealed
If you associate with the wrong people, don't speak too much and risk getting in trouble

If you rely on your skill, then rely on your steal
If you have a talent or ability, make sure it's protected or secure

What you sought was real to give 'em slots to fill
If you worked hard for something and achieved it, then you deserve recognition or opportunities

As I lock the will don't you mock the drill
As I stay focused and determined, don't disrespect my process

'Cause I'll cock my steal and make you drop and spill
If provoked, I will use my weapon and bring harm to you

Got no mercy unless you top the deal
I won't show mercy unless you can offer something of significant value

Quit talkin' nil, you won't top my will, bitch
Stop speaking nonsense because you can't match my determination

Ain't nobody better, on that you can bet
There is no one superior to me, I am the best

Wanna see a dog show put your money on my set
If you want to witness a great performance, bet on me

Real MC's and real DJ's, real Southsiders from the heart of L.A.
My crew consists of authentic and talented rappers and DJs from South Central LA

Now back in the days we had big success
In the past, we achieved great success

And it's like that now and we won't settle for less
We are still at the top and refuse to compromise or accept less

You can't beat the LP from the new Latin lingo
Our Latin hip-hop album is unbeatable

Nowadays you nothin' without a hit single
Today, you won't gain recognition without a popular single

Time to get locin', put bodies in motion
Time to party and start dancing

Hit the stage in a rage and start up a commotion
Perform with energy and drive the crowd wild

No, I ain't jokin', see my mic smokin'
No, I'm serious and passionate about my music

I slam it like the art and make sure it's broken
I perform with intensity and power that can damage the equipment

Yeah, Cypress Hill, 'Amplified Remix', Fredwreck drop that sh
This is a remix of a Cypress Hill song, produced by Fredwreck

Welcome to the show, all come inside
Welcome to the concert or performance, everyone is invited

So, you can hear brought my style when it's amplified
The sound system will make my music louder and more impactful

You wanna party with the best say, the rest
If you want to have a good time, come to my show

'Cause we take away your stress and never settle for less
Our music helps you relax and have fun, while also striving for excellence
