tha dogg pound

yo

this is dj quik

takin' a second out with tha dogg pound to let ya'll know somethin'

if you're lookin' in the source mag and don't see me

it's 'cause them niggas on the east is the enemy

it's real

i heard of meth

nas

and red

and i'm down with' 'em

indeed we all smoke weed and clown with 'em

hung around with 'em

one man

i ran with his clan

there's only one land

niggas down with me i can count on one hand

come dumb

i gets dumber

the double barrel pumper heat dumper

and i been rockin' mics since funky drummer

these adventures wreak havoc

speak lavish lifestyles

i crack your clavicle for the cabbage

rhyme savage

introduction to death

murder mc's 'til ain't shit left

in the sector

why must mc's flip like gymnastics

just to get they whole ass whipped

claim to be classic

but you don't set no classic examples

with ya fucked up beats and ya fucked up samples

your last verbal war you won't survive no more

i turned the channel 'cause niggas you ain't live no more

i used to follow but now you's a legend like sleepy hollow

i shoot to kill

a horse pill u can't swallow

there's no tomorrow

nigga

it all ends

i been down with krs since boogie down begins

that's my man

now what's this i hear? i was told to beware

i'm the inspirer

dissed by a nigga i admired

hell no

this can't be

now who the fuck is this i hear on the radio dissin' me?

b-i-double g-i-to the e

shit's scorchin'

doing a video for a song that got blew out of proportion

i found he's the deadliest force

in a world where it all about glamour

fame and fortune

nigga

we mobb deep

so fuck you

jeru

and any tribe who quests to compete

we the elite

the psycho assassin is blastin'

and next time you hit l.a. nigga

we mashin''

west coast sound

holdin' it down

we got the dank

the shit to make them fall out and faint

record it

shit that overseas imported

that genuine shit that be hard to find

my lyrical so irresistible

i get the dough

and flip the flow

over turn

if it wasn't black owned it got burned

up

when the s.c. erupt

i hear the fakes on the radio make my ears ache

we aim and shoot the wack to reduce the pain

black at ya

sick in the head body snatchers

'96

when i'm elected

wack mc's get ejected

out the tape deck dash

you're no match

your dj can't scratch

you won't last

so just hop out the battle

retreat for your saddle

it's too many of us

we kick plenty of dust

skulls melt from the heat from the microphone

mortal kombat make skeleton bones

ayo threat

i play the mc

niggas

they play the mic

i bash motherfuckers from words that i recite

tighter than the average mc tryna battle me

tragedy is a must as i crush nyc

lately i been on some crazy shit

imagine this

to make it 'til you die until you out of it

scouting your hood for murders

roamin' through your house and murder

when you wake up in the morning

your life will be over

i told ya

dogg pound ain't nathan nice

sacrificing motherfuckers from men to mice

twice

there's been a murder on your block

when he dropped

your homie thought he was nutty

what made him outrun my glock

you stop us but when we started mashin' ain't no stoppin'

on and on more of your dogs keep droppin'

what was your homie ain't yo homie no mo'

commit suicide and blow your brains on the floor

don't ignore the fact

grab the microphone and snap

then react with the shit that jumped off that night

callin' all dogs

and phoney rap stars that think they got me

i'm on some superman shit now

they shouldn't have shot me

uh

'cause i'm convinced that my squad is real

and god has blessed me with the power to be hard to kill

i got a mind that's full of murderous thoughts

when unleashed

i make them niggas bow

feel me now or be deceased

i ain't choosin' sides

hell nah

fuck everybody

it's westside when i ride

watch for dead bodies

lyrics are colorful

words are anesthetics

problems are gettin' worked out faster than calisthenics

i'm bulletproof

blazed up on top of my man's roof

hands on a fully ak

so what'chu plan to do?

move muthafuckaz 'til they feel me

it's west coast

nigga

fuck new york

now did everybody hear me?

you shot at my homies now i'mma blast

screamin' thug life muthafucka when i pass

ny '87

comin' through your town

gunnin' niggas down

fuck that shit

we knockin' niggas out

niggas just jealous

watching too much goodfellas

now that's dissin'
