[Intro : ]
You're second to none...
Damn right

[Hook]
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I shoot more scrub?
It's nothing but the dog in me
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I pull more scrub?
It's nothing but the dog in me
It's nothing but the dog in me

[Gangsta D]
I remember way back when I was young
Livin' that crazy life gettin' sprung
Out there gettin' busy holdin' my own
Didn't really care cause mama wasn't home
They say, (young child don't you run so wild)
You're out there doin' wrong, hangin' with the wrong crowd
But I didn't really trip it so I kept a hard head
Got myself to the point where I wanted fools dead
Solvin' all my problems with that 1-8-7
Makin' ends meet with the deuce-11
Jacked this one fool, snatched him out his ride
Shot him nine times but the n***a survived
I didn't even know him or know where he was from
But I didn't really didn't care cause I was young
Now I'm rollin' with my son and my baby mama
Didn't even know we was in for drama
Here come the n***a on my passenger side
Dumped a whole clip all inside my ride
Hit me four times and one went in my head
Now I'm stretched out in the bed
While this fool kickin' back in Mira Loma
My family stressed out cause I'm in a coma
Everbody's prayin' while I'm tryin' to hang on
But even if I die, it's still on... yeah
[Hook]
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I shoot more scrub?
It's nothing but the dog in me
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I pull more srub?
It's nothing but the dog in me
It's nothing but the dog in me

[KK]
Now I can seem to recall all my days when I was little
Tryin' to put myself right up in the middle
Sprung up off the idea of tryin' to get a rep
You best believe I found trouble when I stepped
Ran up on n***as like I was holdin' bugs
I was only 5'5, still a young scrub
Didn't even matter if I got my ass jumped
As long as that I proved young KK ain't a punk
Now I done got my roam on, buzzed with the oldies on
Didn't really care, it was like ("Bitch, bring yo' ass on")
Yeah, one day rollin' with my straps I got caught (god damn)
I switched it up and made her [?] her fault
You see I couldn't go out, lettin' know she was right
I only corporated and started a fight
Damn, I really liked that girl and she was good to me
But my ego just wouldn't let it be, man
I tried to keep myself cool and find a little job
Yeah I'm workin', but these pockets still hurtin'
Then my relative [?] me on a double-up
I found another way for KK to come on up
I'm pushin' quarter pieces down the '10' freeway
Up to Baton Rouge, then back to L.A
Damn, I was out there kinda young and dumb
That's how it was, where we came from
[Hook] x2
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I shoot more scrub?
It's nothing but the dog in me
Why must I feel like that?
Why must I pull more scrub?
It's nothing but the dog in me
It's nothing but the dog in me
