first we pray

nate dogg

black people dont have no

no where to go

you know

all we got to do is kick it

we gonna kick it in our hood

you know

what we gonna do

we might

we might go kill a couple of niggaz mane

you know

go in they hood and do a drive-by

then come back in the hood and laugh about that stuff

you know

its just a thing

only how you really gonna get deep into it

is when one of your homeys die

just like when my partnaz died

first we pray

then we ride

first we pray

then we ride

he was my brother

loved him like no other

to top it off

i introduced him to this game

i knew his mother

loved her like my mother

part of me is gone

bout take my brother home

when the trials come

are you gonna run?

first i'm gonna pray

you muthafuckin right

first we pray

then we ride

first we pray

then we ride

i aint got nuthin but love for you loccs and hogs

and i ain't got nuthin but love for my muthafuckin dogs

in the mist of the war zone

its on on site

daylight tonight the heat held close and tight

beware here i come with the dpg on my chest

heat gonna spit like elliot ness

in the darkest zone you feel alone and on your own

and after i bust

niggaz call me kurupt coleone

all i'm about is money

loot and cash

homeys in the dpg nate

snoop and daz

now with these emotions how you approach yourself

knowin you all about your wealth and as it is to health

first i pray

get my thoughts intact

ask for forgiveness cuz i'm bout to lay this nigga flat

can you adapt

can you feel me

i doubt it

cuz the closest you see it

is when niggaz write about it

i can't live without it and it ain't shit i could do

but stay down with the homeys in grey and blue

so just keep the heat close in hand

cuz i done see niggaz get shit while they homeboys ran

heavenly father shine your light on me

i know i promise to slow down on this weed

seems i remember someone used to say

one life gets taken

if you take one life away

when the trials come

are you gonna run?

first i'm gonna pray

you muthafuckin right

first we pray

then we ride

first we pray

then we ride
