Dpg (g), c

[repeat 4 times]

[verse one: kurupt]

Smash, just before you talk spaz out
Hitting the switch, then hitting the stash
Before the year 2000, all the computers crash
I'm gone homeboy, this the hood where it's on homeboy
I'mma live long homeboy
Too deep, too strong homeboy
We rolling too deep with two zones homeboy
It's on homeboy
Songs with two candy-painted bronze homeboy
D-a-z, i can't believe this nigga gon' trip
He's nothin but a busta, bitch-ass mothafucka
With snoop in the coop, warren, nate, and big tray dee
Big c-style and mitch made to be
Shine dogg getting super-high lit
High-flying high super-duper high
We super-duper fly
I put ya in the mix
I ain't with that kibbles-n-bits shit
Bitch, where's the grip?

[chorus: nate dogg (singing), (snoop dogg)]

I'm still a dogg pound nigga, i'm neva gonna give it up (dpg {g}, c)
Neva gonna give it up
C'mon homies give it up
(dpg {g}, c)
I'm still a dogg pound nigga, i'm neva gonna give it up (dpg {g}, c)
Neva gonna give it up
C'mon homies give it up

[verse two: warren g, nate dogg (singing)]

[warren g]

What i'mma do, i'mma bang on the beat
What i'mma do, cain't cock and serve heat
You looking at me, i'm scoping on you
But you don't know my shit is right nigga, so fuck you
Everybody talking 'bout money ain't a thang
Everybody talking 'bout how they gangbang
If you was hard as me, i'm as hard as you
Cutthroats and bud smoke, i'm an eastside loc
So don't let the crossover fool ya
I been down since '81, lb top gun biyatch

[nate dogg]

Platinum-ass records that be paying bills
Dogg pound niggas, they be banging still
Money-making niggas, and they bona fide
Them money-making niggas still down ta ride
All them otha' niggas, they be claiming thangs
Scary-ass niggas wasn't born ta bang
Hang wit' dpg and i can give ya game
Coming from the hood, you can't be changing games

[snoop]

Dpg (g), c

[break: kurupt (talking)]

Yeah, bitch-ass niggas... dogg pound gangstas...
Fuck y'all!

[chorus: nate dogg (singing)]

I'm still a dogg pound nigga, i'm neva gonna give it up
Neva gonna give it up
C'mon homies give it up

[verse three: tray dee, snoop dogg, soopa fly]

[tray dee]

Yeah, i'm from that clique that slap clips with hollow-point tips
And serve bitch-niggas quick with this gangsta shit
Tray dee, ya heard of me, murder be my hobby
Banging and slanging in dangerous robberies
Fuck a mask, you bustas duck when i blast
I take the cash, and put a cap up in that ass
Sagging with my rag, 'bout to drag the street
Triple-x sweatshirt with blue chucks on feet
Killa instincts keep me ahead of my foes
Neva doze when i rose, let the chrome explode

[snoop dogg]

Man i wish a bitch would get me fo' some child support
I stuck my foot up her ass, like a super sport
Down shit, pound shit, gangsta
Fo'eva', wheneva', howeva', down fo' whateva'
Recognize game when it hits ya
Nigga, if ya slip up doggy dogg's gonna get-'cha
Been doing that thang-thang, long trynna' slang 'caine
Just before i was taught, how ta gangbang
All my peers through the years know
That snoop dogg ain't nothing but a fool do'
And if ya run up on that man trynna do-low
That's when he, pull out his homey, who, you know
Man i been through so much and i'm still going through it
But fuck all that, i got ta stay into it
I knew the job was dangerous when i took it
Shit, a nigga didn't even overlook it
I was so eager, just trynna get involved
But now's i gots ta represent for me and my doggs

[soopa fly]

Yeah, '94, became a d-o, double-g, p-o, u-n-d, gangsta
Now you can see me smoking dank in neighborhood, pranksta'
Play a trick, quick inimate, then out, no doubt
Paperboy wit' a new route
When i'm in front, they watch behind me
Mission: crush, ready to bust, grab the tom-my
Gun, keep one, i role with the heat-seeka's
Stash the gauge, pass the .9 to my nee-ga [nigga]
Roll, keep slow, peep, po-po
Creep slow, ready ta smash with the fo'-fo'
I go for broke wit' loc niggas who toke guns
Neva understood niggas high-up with low funds
Smoke one, represent my seaside o-cean
Eastside motion, we slide coasting through
Mothafuckaaz!! haha!!

[break: snoop dogg (talking) ("dpg {g}, c" said 4 times in background)]

Dogg pound... mothafucking gangstas...
1999, back up in this bi-yai-itch!
Eastside up, eastsidaz!
And niggas thought we fell off...

[chorus: nate dogg (singing), (snoop dogg (talking)), ("dpg {g}, c" said 8 Times in a row, then once again)]

I'm still a dogg pound nigga, (dogg pound in this mothafucka)
I'm neva gonna give it up
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Neva gonna give it up (yeah, yeah, yeah)
C'mon homies give it up
(ride on, ride on)
I'm still a dogg pound nigga, i'm neva gonna give it up
Neva gonna give it up
C'mon homies give it up
I'm still a dogg pound nigga, i'm neva gonna give it up (dpg {g}, c)
Neva gonna give it up
C'mon homies give it up
I'm still... [fades away]
