Tha Dogg Pound
Respect
[Intro: Dr. Dre]
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, yeah...
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
Huh, you can't see me, huh
Back up in that ass once again
Wit' some of Dat N***a Daz shit
Beatin' up on your ear drums with some of that G-Funk
Some of that gangsta funk
Some of that ghetto funk
Call it what you want, just don't forget the G
Got Tha muthafuckin' Dogg Pound in the house

[Verse 1: Dat N***a Daz & (Kurupt)]
Now, tell me what's poppin' in your head, my brother?
(What you wan' do? End up dead, muthafucka?)
I don't know why we got to kill each other
('Cause on the streets, it's do or die, muthafucka!)
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 n***a on the streets
I'm runnin' '94 and I done ran '93
Unlike no hurdle, for the murders I committed in my homie fo' convertible
And not a soul saw who did it
As I lean to the side in my homie G-Ride
On a mission, fo' deep, Dogg Pound do or die
[Verse 2: Kurupt & (Dat N***a Daz)]
Now, if you see me mobbin' down the streets, what would ya think?
(Not) Realizin' that I'm survivin' off instinct
What makes my mind flip to 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
You think you saw, 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?

[Bridge: Prince Ital]
Respect to the Death Row Inmates
Death Row Inmates, lawd, dem never hesitate
To bust a gun shot, in a i-diot face
Dis is Dogg Pound and your life goes to waste
Free Dogg Pound territory
Dat N***a Daz put you inna di cemetery
Snoop Dogg, di criminal mentality
Fuck wit' dirty Kurupt and yuh dead each way
(D.P.G — Dogg Pound Gangstaz)
Lawd

[Verse 3: Kurupt]
Now, wit' Dat N***a Daz, everywhere I roll I'm set to blast
The way to success is elevatin' too fast
Every corner that I turn, there's money to burn
Wit' no concern, count the amount, there's more to be earned
Set-trip, the word I hear every n***a spit
Sixty percent's trippin', forty percent's bullshittin'
Industry's shady, my safety's in jeopardy
Controllin' minds like mental telepathy
N***as shady as fuck, Kurupt can see it in ya eyes
Anticipatin' for the real to come from the disguise
Tha 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 muthafuckin' gangsta shit
(Say what? Say what? Say what? Say what? Say what?)
Kick that muthafuckin' gangsta shit
[Verse 4: Dat N***a Daz]
Well, I see myself on top
By the age of 22, or will I drop?
A fallen star that has been forgotten not!
In the past, I mainly hustled for the cash
Surprised to see Dat N***a rise up on dat 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 to 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

[Outro: Prince Ital]
We don't have to stoop low
We don't have to stoop low
We don't have to stoop to your level
But when they see we comin', lawd
Now, when they see we comin', lawd
Now, when they see we comin', lawd, they tremble
'Cause we a rebel, terror from a well fractured gun
And you know we keep it real to make your life invisible
So don't fuck, you betta be respectable
The nine millimeter, is really dreadable
Wicked an' wild, yes, you're wicked an' wild
