latin lingo (cypress hill)


Lyrics from www.cypressonline.com; revised by nds@gezetera.ch

Bag, let's start the funkin' show eh
Here it is
Burn it up
Turn it loose
Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Freak to the funk that no one else is bringin' (yeah)
Sen Dog with the funky bilingual
Yea that's the nombre heard that homie
Peace to Mellow and Frost en el deporte
Sen Dog is not a kid a veterano I'm down another proud Hispano
One of the many of the Latins de este año
And I got plenty for the jennies trying to hound yo
But wait they're clowning on me cause of my language
Ha ha ha ha ha
I have to tell them straight up it's called Spanglish
Now who's on the pinga the gringo
Trying to get paid from the funky bilinguals
Latin lingo baby funky bilinguals
(Yeah funky bilinguals)
Latin lingo baby funky bilinguals
(It's the Latin lingo)
Cuando entro (when I come in) suckers fronting
Me miran another bilingual vampira vengo con un ejemplo
Check the tempo aaa está chingón el instrumental
Ya oístes como somos yo no jodo
I got some soul though
And you can hear it en las congas
Tribal ceremony as the hemp will get stronger
Don't be such a leva what you got for the cavesa
Hey homes pass the cervesa before I have to push up on your esa
Hmmm she's fine, something fresca here homes have a hit of this yesca,
I teach you enseño el leño lo prendo
Now you know that I am the centro
Where you live si tu puedes
Nowadays you ain't shit without your cuente
Something like a gang thang vatos gettin' bang bang
Cause I hung out with them now you're calling me an insane
Sálte de mi cara sal de mi camino make way Yeah for the funky bilingual
Latin Lingo baby funky bilinguals
Funky bilinguals homes
Latin lingo baby funky bilinguals
It's the Latin lingo baby
Latin lingo baby funky bilinguals
Look at you
Mmmmmmm
Some of that ol' Latin funk you know what I'm saying
Latin lingo.
What's up homie don't you know me simón
Ain't you the brother of the mas pingón
Straight up and I'm down with the raza
Kid Frost got my back - booyaa - en la casa
Cause everyday things get a little crazier
As I step to the microphone area
First I claim my city puro Los Ángeles
You know homes that's where the gangas is
Vatos waiting on me along with the hynas
Catching all the sweat for what I said to one-timer
So when you see me at the party or the baile
Before I got here I was gaffled in the calle
Sued that gavacho who said I was borracho
Had an attitude why you trying to play me macho
Just relax calmado mijo Sen Dog with the
Funky bilinguals
