"How I Could Just Kill a Man" is a controversial song by Cypress Hill from their album Cypress Hill and was their first major hit in 1991. It was released as a double A-side to "The Phuncky Feel One" and the music video featured a cameo by Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest and Ice Cube (who B-Real would later feud with). It was re-released in 1999 with Spanish lyrics and a new video. It is featured as the first track on their greatest hits compilation "Greatest Hits from the Bong". It was covered in 2000 (though released as a single in 2003) by Rage Against the Machine for their covers album Renegades. The song was also featured on the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, appearing on the West Coast hip hop station Radio Los Santos.
Towards the end of the song (approximately the last 25 seconds) you can hear someone saying, "All I wanted was a Pepsi". This quote is taken from the well-known Suicidal Tendencies song, "Institutionalized".
