Artist: Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dat Nigga Daz

|
Verse One: Snoop Doggy Dogg
|
|
Wake up, jumped out my bed
|
I'm in a 2 man cell wit my homie Lil 1/2 Dead
|
Murder was the case that they gave me
|
Dear God, I wonder can you save me
|
I'm only 18, so I'm a young buck
|
It's alright, if I don't scrap, I'm getting stuck
|
But that's the life of a G, I guess
|
Ese's way deep, shanked two in they chest
|
Bests run 'cause brothers is dropping quicker
|
Ugn, too late, damn, down goes another nigga
|
Bouncing off the walls, throwing them dogs
|
Getting that rep as a young hog
|
It ain't nuttin like the street life
|
Betta be strapped wit yo shank, cuz ain't no fist fight
|
So I guess I gots ta handle mine
|
Since I did the crime, I gots ta do my time
|
|
Chorus: Dat Nigga Daz
|
|
Lil' ghetto boy
|
Playing in the ghetto streets
|
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
|
And have to face responsibility
|
|
Verse Two: Dr. Dre
|
|
Now, I'm holdin the dub, sitting on swole
|
27 years old, up for parole, stroll
|
I'm back up on my feet wit my mind on the money
|
That I'm making as soon as I touch the street
|
Things done changed on this side
|
Remember they used to thump but now they blast, right
|
But it ain't no thang to me
|
'Cause now I'm what they call a lowked-ass O.G.
|
The little homies from the hood wit grip
|
Are the ones I get wit 'cause I'm down to set trip
|
Nigga, I'm bigger than you, so what'cha wanna do
|
Didn't know he had a 22
|
Straight sitting behind his back
|
I grabed his pockets and then I heard six caps
|
I fell to the ground
|
wit blood on my hands
|
And didn't understand
|
How a nigga so young could bust a cap
|
I used to be the same way back
|
I guess that's what I get (for what)
|
For trying to jack the little homies for they grip
|
|
Chorus: Dat Nigga Daz
|
|
Lil' ghetto boy
|
Playing in the ghetto streets
|
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
|
And have to face responsibility
|
|
Verse Three: Snoop Doggy Dogg
|
|
Something for the real OG's to get wit
|
Some facts, made our made, now you runnin but I play
|
Like every single day, really tho
|
You know me, I'm the smooth macadamien, gaming them for my homie
|
No need to being calm if you pack right
|
And learning just enuff to keep your sack right
|
Late nights, I wonder what they getting fo'
|
Early morning on the corners, what they hitting fo'
|
Seven young G's put they serve down
|
In a G ride, east side what they swerve now
|
Not thinking about what's really going on
|
Got crept on, stepped on, now they gone
|
I spent 4 years in the county wit nutting but convicts around me
|
But now I'm back at the pound
|
And we expose ways for the youth to survive
|
Some think it's wrong but we tend to think it's right
|
So make all them ends you can make
|
'Cause when you're broke, you break, check it out
|
So ain't no need for your mama to trip
|
'Cause you's a hustling ass youngsta, clocking your grip
|
|
Chorus: Dat Nigga Daz
|
|
Lil' ghetto boy
|
Playing in the ghetto streets
|
What'cha gonna do when you grow up
|
And have to face responsibility
|
