[Chorus: x2] These days, you gotta be strapped I'm already knowing ain't nobody got my back These days you gotta be down Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound I believe I got to see We been making music since we were kids Its all I want to do, for life Keeping it real until the day I die I stay funkish in my way Continue to mash and don't forget to pray I keep my hand on my steel Because I love my life and I always will Whatever people say to me I take it in stride I'm thinking negro league If you really don't know me Then you best back up, I suggest strongly They started this DPG Until the day I D-I-E For my L-I-F and E No matter where I look that's all I see And I know [Chorus: x2] Many n***as play to me I think its because they see me on BET 'cause everybody knows my name All the police think I'm serving game Jealous n***as call us out But I don't worry long as I hear their mouths If ever they decide to k** You better be prepared 'cause I know I will I think I can guarantee You don't want to be standing next to me
Before my final curtain call My mistakes they really won't be long If we bump this in the streets Or even at some party You n***as really can't see me My request is that you stop trying Before I let go [Chorus: x2] Everyday, the 45 stays I'm jacking forever I busting taking now bowing down never Gotta watch my back for these coppers As well as the n***as that I kick it with They stick you faster than these b**hes will Since I'm pimping everybody wants my riches And I can't keep my god for buying weed acting every time I smoke constantly and can't flinch me From committing the murders so I chill and puff the herb Who gots my back nobody If little giant gaudy laying n***as down at the homey's party Always be goin crazy I guess we are being who we are Really say the n***a gotta be a star I gots to get mine and if I'm blasting its my destiny If I die then it was meant to be intentionally Worry stressing no guessing your profession When the murder take place set yourself a tech 9 [Chorus: x4]
