[Verse 1: Violent J]
No, *Whimper*
I don’t have any recollection of the first time a kid felt
The piercing sting, a whip burst from his belt
And try to stay off my side with the worst welts
And crying “Mama, please stop him. It hurts. Help.”
When I hear the Hyundai pull up, in the closet I slide
Behind ‘em coats, prayin’ I don’t see them boots, or I’ll hide (No!)
“Please let me be,” I hoped and cried
But mother always told him I was inside, fuck
His big hand reaches in (Come here!), Fists my hair
Stricken with panic, I feel it rips and tears
Yellow underwear, again I pissed in fear
Always caught the beatings, never just a scare
I turned twelve and got a bowling pin. He trash picked
I said, “I don’t bowl,” then owned a fat lip
Mama laughs when asked how bad my stepdad hits
I’m just a sack of shit to beat on, I admit, because

[Chorus]
I’m the dog who gets beat
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Shove my nose in shit
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Why won’t mother save me?
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
Save me
[Verse 2: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
And when I turned 17
There was no datin’, only hatin’ and beatings
Bone breakin’, kicked teeth in. They waitin’ to greet me
“Mother, let me stay home, not another defeatin’”
She said, “No. Tell him you’re a friend. Make him believe it”
The school’s a nightmare (Ay). It ain’t cool to fight fair (Ay)
They shootin’ all night, told me "fool you ain't liked here"
Smacked up so black and blue, my head spewed white hair
They said every time we see you, we beatin’ you right here
Walked to the store, mistake, dinner died in the maze
Like Pac-Man, give it back, man. For them, crime pays
Knocked out 6 times by 6 thugs in 5 days
My whole head clocked crooked, sideways
Beat up and robbed, mugged, I shit and piss blood
Called the cops, got my head split by the pigs’ clubs
Saw my pops (Yeah?) Hugged? (Hey?) Nope (Oh) Slugged (Bam)
[Drugged, stuck, slit, shot?], [?], and never got loved
...And then it happened
One night, in the thug zone I got jacked
They slapped and attacked when I got back
And I lost it, snap, going wack
And swung the only shit I own until a skull cracked
Mother’s, with the bowling pin (Jeez...)
Her blood spreaded, and forehead folded in (Easy...)
The cops said, when they exploded in (Freeze!)
The step pops ain’t hold shit in (Fuck ‘em, though! Peace!)
[Chorus]
I’m the dog who gets beat
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Shove my nose in shit
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Why won’t mother save me?
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
Save me

[Verse 3: Violent J]
For two long years, I was medicated, sedated, I hate it
It’s how they keep you baited ‘til your shit lobominated
Thoughts disintegrated, then they amputate it and refrigerate it
Never invigorate it, so I never ate it
I played it, and fed it to the dedicated
They benefited me, I’m tryin’ to be eradicated
Acting blew out (Ay) and limble, no improvement (Ay), tripped out (Ay)
Smooth is how I’m letting off. (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
I took the screw out (Ay) the window (Ay), removed it (Ay), slipped out (Ay)
Phew, now I’m jetting off. (Off, off, off)
Happily hauling ass in my slippers, like I sorta rehearsed
Countin’ cash, slipped the wallet out an orderly’s purse
Broke in a funeral home, then I stoled a slick hearse
Flashbacks of that belt sting, that old whip burst
[Verse 4: Violent J]
"Looky looky, what that there?"
I found a bowling alley, scrub’s strollin’ in
First goal, I’ma win another bowling pin
Picked it up, thought of mother’s skull, in that
I’ma stick my fucking colon in ya
Gripped the hearse, headed for my succulent revenge
Mouth watering, dick hard, I won’t pretend
He’s passed out. Empty beer cans scatter the place
That’s when I swung me a strike. Blood spattered my face
Like an M-80 in a pot of mostaccioli
I got lots up on me, and I’ll be fine
Red noodles flung. Wet slop globs, stuck, stick
Drip, drop. Shit, Toodle’s a fun word
To now? Who knows, but I’m riding this hog there
And kicking in the asshole of every dog there *Whimper*
With just a bowling pin, bone again
My fury fuller now, a little gust of lonely wind

[Outro]
You’re the dog who gets beat
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Shove your nose in shit
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Your mother can’t save you
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
Save you
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
(Go outside! Bad dog!)
Your mother can’t save you
(Go lay down! Bad dog!)
Save you
