Wise man he once told me, lost cause, ain't worth a roll

But our wheels keep spinning, I guess we broke the mold, I don't know



The life I lead is the life of a dog

I may have fleas but I run our yard

I see those clones looking down on me

But unlike those clones this dog is free



Oh Lord it's a dog's life

I'm feeling kinda irie

It's bubblin' inside me



Straight up it's a dog's life

Wait wait wait, stop that track

Let's rewind, retract, pull slack and roll back

To the days when I hung with G-mack you got to face facts

So relap, what about G-mack?

Met his homie E-Loc, met his cousin D-Loc

Move into his house and we didn't wanna be broke

So Loc slung smoke, I wrote rhymes

Decided way back that we have good times

And we drank brews, and we shot booze

Both got ladies and broke the rules

But when I snooze my squeeze, clean my slate

And like a dog should, yo I pissed on his plate



Man I'm lovin' Southern Cali, drinkin' brews in the alleys

Holding down the stages from Diego to the Valley

Bustin' on my Kauwai, getting lifted off the Maui

As I fly, goin' big at Snow Valley



Oh Lord it's a dog's life

I'm feeling kinda irie

It's bubblin' inside me



The life I lead is the life of a dog, I may have fleas

But I run our yard

I ain't no slave to a suit and a tie

No rat race clone, I'll never be that guy

I ain't got caught up in some selfish career

I'm livin' in love, but I'm not in fear

I see those clones lookin down on me

But unlike those clones my mind is free

Save the mold for the clones, my mental's home grown

I'd rather be myself than live
