"(Can't You) Trip Like I Do" is a reworking of "Trip Like I Do", a song featured on the Crystal Method's debut album Vegas . The track was recorded for the 1997 film adaptation of the Spawn comic book series. The song was co-written by Richard Patrick and co-produced by Brian Liesegang, both from Filter, who also appeared in the song's video. "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do" is the opening song on the film's soundtrack release, Spawn: The Album, and is heard in the end credits. The song was also used for the theatrical trailer of The Matrix , promotional trailers for the Enter the Matrix video game and reveal trailer of Spider-Man but it does not appear in the film or on the soundtrack.

Inspiration for the song came from a friend of Scott Kirkland who was using ecstasy and leaving voice mail messages telling him "I wish you could trip like I do." ^[1]
