Tha Dogg Pound - Respect

I know you're bobbin' your head, 'cause I can see ya, huh
Yeah, I know you're bobbin' your head, 'cause I can see ya, uh
Uh, yeah, I know you're bobbin' your head, 'cause I can see ya (yeah)
Yeah, I know you're bobbin' your head (da da da dee)
'Cause I can see ya (da da da da da da da)

You can't see me, ha
Back up in that ass once again
With some of Dat Nigga Daz shit, haha
Beatin' up on your ear drums with some of that G Funk, ha
Some of that gangsta funk
Some of that ghetto funk, ha
Call it what you want, just don't forget the G, haha
The motherfuckin' Dogg Pound in the house

Now tell me what's poppin' in your head, my brother?
What you wan' do, end up dead, motherfucker?
I don't know why we got to kill each other
'Cause on the streets is do or die, motherfucker

Now as a child I was raised in the church
Now whatever possessed me to do the shit that I do to put you in the dirt?
I gives a fuck about a nigga on the streets (uh)
I'm runnin' '94 and I done ran '93, don't like no hurdle
For the murders I committed in my homie '4 convertible
And not a soul saw who did it (nigga)
As I lean to the side in my homie G-Ride
On a mission, fo' deep, Dogg Pound do or die

Now if you see me mobbin' down the streets, what would you think? (Not)
Realizin' that I'm survivin' off instinct
What makes my mind give the perfect timin'
For me to twist shit, switch and rip shit the fuck up like "The Shining"
'Cause I'm in my own zone, alone I'm found
Empty inside but death is all around like a ghost town
Perhaps you know I acts a fool if I have to
Can you comprehend or adapt to

Respect to the Deathrow Inmates
Deathrow Inmates Lawd dem never hesitate
To bust a gun shot, in a idiot face
Diss Tha Dogg Pound and your life goes to waste
'Fraid, Dogg Pound territory
Dat Da Nigga Daz will put you inna di cemetery
Snoop Dogg di criminal mentality
Fuck wit' Dutty Kurupt and yuh dead each way
(D-G-P, Dogg Pound Gangstaz)
Lawd

Now wit' Dat Nigga Daz, everywhere I roll I'm set to blast
The rate of success is elevatin' too fast
Every corner that I turn, there's money to burn
With no concern, countin' the amount, there's more to be earned
Set-trip, the word I hear every nigga spit
Sixty percent's trippin', forty percent's bullshittin'
Industry's shady, my safety's in jeopardy
Controllin' minds like mental telepathy, niggas
Shady as fuck, Kurupt can see it in your eyes
Anticipatin' for the real to come from the disguise
The Pound, we roll thick like one-time
And I could fuck yo' bitch after I bust just one rhyme
All we do is smoke weed and get blitzed
And kick that motherfuckin' gangsta shit
(Say what, say what, say what, say what, say what?)
Kick that motherfuckin' gangsta shit

Well, I see myself on top, by the age of twenty-two
Or will I drop? A fallen star that has been forgotten, not
In the past, I mainly hustled for the cash
Surprised to see that nigga rise up on that ass
Anybody killa, do or die if I have to
On deck, 24/7 and blastin' if I have to
I live my life by the sword, accordin' to the law
Before I stopped, I wonder why the journey's so far
From the danger that lurks, from the one that's out doin' dirt
Step to mine and find yourself vanish away from this Earth
Beyond the heartbreaks and heartaches, rest in peace
Ride or die, death is unexplainable when you die

We don't have to stoop low
We don't have to stoop
No, we don't have to stoop to their level (level)
But when they see we comin' Lawd
Ah when they see we comin' Lawd
Ah when they see we comin' Lawd, dem tremble (tremble)
Cah we a rebel, terrible, we well flexible
And you know we keep a grip to make your life invisible
So don't fuck, you betta be respectable
