Nine in the mornin' feds at my door (my door)
Lou Cortez creakin' cross the hardwood floor (right)
Dippin' through the alley I made my escape
Didn't even get a chance to grab my Snoop Dogg tape
Man with no music but happy he's free
Bailin' fast as I can bail down 19th Street
I got my sacks in my pocket and at least a grand
Gold on my knuckle, my pistol's closed in hand
I'm a Dogg Pound Gangsta from the LBC
Remotely controlled by the bombity
But just livin' in big city is a serious task
Didn't know what the feds wanted, didn't have time to ask
We're comin' with that G sh*t, that see sh*t that makin' nigg*s sick
How does it feel to see a G from your clique?
Wake up, jumped out of bed wit my grin on (why?)

But twenty five G's is what I left with
Teatley was the word I heard
I went deep in my pockets and threw my stars on the cone
Gimme the dice so I can break you nigg*s
I threw a see (C-I-X) so my point was the biggie
Seven-four-four-tre back to back

See now I'm off to the graveyard shift
And I gots ta pay my dues to make my grip
But I chill 'cause my ho might call
Ain't no thang 'cause I sleeps all day and slang when night fall
And I takes a quick walk up the block
With my Glock co*cked, ready to make a stop where I set up shop
On 59th and 8th Ave where all the homies be hangin'
That's where a nigg*'ll be slangin
I'm makin' a cool grip of sh*t, this ain't me
So I put my chips together and cops a quarter ki
And now the shops on deck
And everything that's mines I protect with a Tek, I don't half step

And I'm rollin' a Lexus, f*ck a Benz, and so many new friends
But I could only trust a few
And unawarely I trusted you
But if only G

But I still wadn't afraid to throw him from his shoulders
Gettin' good on the hood was the anticipation
And yeah, King Park was the destination
Every nigg* that I knew was at the Park that night
Even the smokers that be levellin' gettin' sparked tonight
Back on the streets, straight blue and grey
'Cause I represent like every day
