Song by Nate Dogg w/ Daz<br /><br>

[(Chorus) x2]<br>

These days, you gotta be strapped<br>

I'm already knowin ain't nobody got my back<br>

these days you gotta be down<br>

who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound<br>

<br>

I believe I got good skills<br>

we been makin music since we were kids<br>

thats all I wanna do, for life<br>

keepin it real until the day I die<br>

obstacles get in my way<br>

continue to mash and dont forget to pray<br>

I keep my hand on my steel<br>

because I love my life and I always will<br>

whatever people say to me<br>

I take it in stride I'm thinkin negro please<br>

if you really dont know me<br>

then you best back up, I suggest strongly<br>

they started this DPG<br>

until the day I D-I-E<br>

for my L-I-F and E<br>

no matter where I look thats all I see<br>

and I know...<br>

<br>

[(Chorus) x2]<br>

<br>

Many niggaz cling to me<br>

I think its because they see me on BET<br>

cuz everybody knows my name<br>

all the police think I'm serving cane<br>

jealous niggaz call us out<br>

but I dont worry long as I hear their mouths <br>

if ever they decide to kill<br>

you better be prepared because I know I will<br>

I think I can guarantee<br>

you dont wanna be standin next to me<br>

before my final curtain call<br>

I forsake save hen and wont be long<br>

so if we bump hits in the streets<br>

or even at some party<br>

you niggaz really can't see me<br>

my request is that you stop trying<br>

before I let go...<br>

<br>

[Chorus x2]<br>

<br>

[Daz]<br>

Everyday, the 45 stays I'm jackin for whoever<br>

I bustin takin now bowin down never<br>

gotta watch my back for these coppers<br>

as well as these niggaz that I kick it with<br>

they stick you faster than these bitches will<br>

since I'm pimpin everybody wants my riches<br>

and I can't keep the Don from buying weed actin everytime<br>

I smoke constantly and can't flinch me<br>

from commitin the murders so I chill and puff the herb<br>

who gots my back nobody<br>

little John Gotti's layin niggaz down at the homey's party<br>

all be goin crazy I guess we are bein who we are <br>

really say the nigga gotta be a star<br>

I gots to get mine and if I blast then its my destiny<br>

if I die then it was meant to be intentionally<br>

worry stressin I'm guessin no confession<br>

when the murder take place set yourself protection<br>

<br>

[Chorus x4 to fade]<br>

<br>
