(Chorus) x2

These days, you gotta be strapped

I'm already knowin ain't nobody got my back

these days you gotta be down

who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound



I believe I got good skills

we been makin music since we were kids

thats all I wanna do, for life

keepin it real until the day I die

obstacles get in my way

continue to mash and dont 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 thinkin negro please

if you really dont 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 thats all I see

and I know...



(Chorus) x2



Many niggaz cling to me

I think its because they see me on BET

cuz everybody knows my name

all the police think I'm serving cane

jealous niggaz call us out

but I dont worry long as I hear their mouths

if ever they decide to kill

you better be prepared because I know I will

I think I can guarantee

you dont wanna be standin next to me

before my final curtain call

I forsake save hen and wont be long

so if we bump hits in the streets

or even at some party

you niggaz really can't see me

my request is that you stop trying

before I let go...



Chorus x2



Daz-

Everyday, the 45 stays I'm jackin for whoever

I bustin takin now bowin down never

gotta watch my back for these coppers

as well as these niggaz that I kick it with

they stick you faster than these bitches will

since I'm pimpin everybody wants my riches

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

I smoke constantly and can't flinch me

from commitin the murders so I chill and puff the herb

who gots my back nobody

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

all be goin crazy I guess we are bein who we are

really say the nigga gotta be a star

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

if I die then it was meant to be intentionally

worry stressin I'm guessin no confession

when the murder take place set yourself protection



Chorus x4 to fade
