True Dawgs (Radio Edit)
[Verse 1]
The situations in my hood, I guess they still be the same
Mamas cryin' for they babies 'cause they trapped in the game
Different names, different faces, different [?] to kill
Through the weather, this dawg know yo dawg be real
I'm drinkin' the brew, smokin' blunts, tryna make myself high
But they always got yo back, from the blunt [?] to the lighter
We doin' the dirt together, cuttin' the loss of the chase
'Cause we both realized that life's a constant rat race
Uh, through plots and the schemes, we had the same dream
Were sellin' our soul for the cream, Monday 7 to 11
Stackin' mail to the fiends, you know your dawg hate that (I hate that)
When you're lookin' for the fellas, he's the first to be found
[?] around when the shit hit the fan
And them other n***as ran (Where you at?)
He'd be your man to the last stand, ready to rumble
The feelings from my heart make me humble
'Cause he's the one that's true when this world is like a n***a all up in this struggle
I never sweat 'cause I'm not alone
But we together, people label us as bad to the bone (Yo we bad to the bone)
That's not the facts, you gotta take a look at where we at (Where we at)
'Cause in my neighborhood, the cops [?] kill [?]

[Chorus]
Now if yo n***a is a dawg, throw your hands up high
If yo n***a is a dawg, lit them blunts up the sky
If yo n***a is a dawg, then drink a brew or two
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
If yo n***a is a dawg, throw your hands up high
If yo n***a is a dawg, lit them blunts up the sky
If yo n***a is a dawg, then drink a brew or two
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
[Verse 2]
Now give it up to your homes, how many down for you?
Ain't nothin' like blazin' up, drinkin' brews with your crew
Ghetto marriage until (Come on) death do us part
The start was '88 when we was creepin' at the door (Door)
See somethin' like a brother but blood type be the same
But we chose to be down and roll with the same gang
And when you got caught, got caught, got caught by yo self
You'd never mention my name, you just played like you was deaf
And I appreciate the values that you bring
Trust 'em on dawgs by any and all means necessary
Have a hundred in my commissary
I'm quicker than flash so I'll be up in a hurry
See much go by in the sun [?]
I'm havin' good dreams, you meet me at the Gate Bridge
No support from my trick 'cause she left me for dick
And I learned to player hate since I have been in the clique
First words that you say [?] after they changed [?]
[?] murder, that's some naughty n***as gettin' rich (Word up)
This might sound dumb but I gave my dawg a hood
'Cause he was that n***a who was down since day one, come on

[Chorus]
Now if yo n***a is a dawg, throw your hands up high
If yo n***a is a dawg, lit them blunts up the sky
If yo n***a is a dawg, then drink a brew or two
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
If yo n***a is a dawg, throw your hands up high
If yo n***a is a dawg, lit them blunts up the sky
If yo n***a is a dawg, then drink a brew or two
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
[Outro]
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
And if that n***a [?], he ain't true to you
(Inaudible)
