Cypress Hill is a prominent rap music group (formed in 1988), which has sold 17 million records around the world. It is composed of members B-Real (Louis Freese or Freeze, Mexican/Cuban), Sen Dog (Senen Reyes, Afro-Cuban), DJ Muggs (Lawrence Muggerud, Italian-American) and, since 1994, percussionist Eric Bobo. The name Cypress Hill refers to the place where the first members of the band have lived, who grew up mostly in Cypress Avenue in South Gate, Los Angeles. It also refers to a graveyard (where cypress trees grow) as an element of the "Gangsta Rap ideology." One aspect of their popularity is their commitment to the legalization of cannabis consumption.

Can’t Get The Best Of Me Lyrics
Cypress Hill
[sen dog]
Hell nah, you cant handle a man of my superior strength
Ive been rockin for years, now its time to go to length
Bitin emcees in their tracks I stop em
My rhyme style make em turn dropper
My concepts come sick like dennis hopper
I jack fools up and stick em like dirty coppers
Like I said before Im takin you lane of whores
Down to the phone, knock his ass on your good balls
Only one way to deal with these softies
Take they ass out like heroes and they flossin
And when you test me you better bring styles
Cause mine can go on and on and on for miles
[chorus]
[b-real & sen dog]
You cant get the best of me
Cant get the best of me
You cant get the best of me
Cant get the best of me
You cant get the best of me
Cant get the best of me
You cant get the best of me
Cant get the best of me
You cant get the best of me (you cant hold me down)
Cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me down)
You cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me)
Cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me down)
You cant get the best of me (you cant hold me down)

Cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me down)
[b-real]
Five roll with the weakest
What you need is, the chrome plated heater
So you can peep this, tragedy had to be in your mind soakin in
Sad to see you broken down, not at least broken in
Cant stop some hill shit from comin through
The reality is out with the old, and with the new
Ways and things change, with strange haids of braids shade
Switch place life and life plays with thumb pay
Does and un-trues, the mule leaves no clues
In the dark confused, we choose to eat you
Out the whole stroke away so I can listener
We dont stop if you can, fuck commissioner
[chorus]
[b-real & sen dog]
You cant get the best of me
Cant get the best of me
You cant get the best of me

Cant get the best of me
You cant get the best of me (you cant hold me down)
Cant get the best of me (you cant hold me down)
You cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me)
Cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me down)
You cant get the best of me (you cant, you cant hold me down)
Cant get the best of me (you cant hold me down)
You cant get the best of me (you cant hold me)
Cant get the best of me (you cant hold me down)

Takin out crews who think they are baddest
Mad dog sen for real is the maddest
