Tha Dogg Pound
A Doggz Day Afternoon
[Intro: Dat N***a Daz]
Ye-yah! Straight up! '95!
Kurupt Tha muthafuckin' Kingpin
Dat N***a Daz
Creepin' and crawlin' thru yo' hood, smokin', locin'
Provokin' punk muthafuckaz like yo' self
Wuz happenin'?
[Verse 1: Kurupt]
In the dead of winter, is when I kick my coldest phrases
Mental as telepathy, lyrically it amazes
Construction of thoughts that's lethal as turpentine
An expert when I flex rhymes feared like ex-cons
In my zone you can't even find like Atlantis
Stalk like a prayin' mantis, leavin' battered bodies on the canvas
The burial ground for clowns
Open casket, trackin' n***as down like fuckin' basset hounds
Tragic how the mic gets handled
Prodigious like a vandal on a midnight scandal
You scramble like Randall, abusive when I recite
On the stage, double access with a brand new muthafuckin' mic!
[Verse 2: Dat N***a Daz]
Now, can I grab the microphone and spit some shit that's known
To blow the mind of Michelangelo's poems?
Clones get crushed like stones
I forbid for busta muthafuckaz to be actin' like they all in
Wit' da clique, I checks dat shit!
And once again, it's on, and it's on wit' da gangsta shit
I create the beats that beats the fucks right outta ya speakers!
Amps are blown, shown for me to grab the microphone alone
Like Jodeci, notice, see, yaself needs help
The homie Style got the strap on deck
Don't neglect the fact I can make you or break you (Break you)
Awake you to a new plateau wit' mo' hoes
Now the paper is made, now don't think twice
N***as is gettin' pimped because they game ain't tight
Now, well, well! (Well)
Now, welcome where the ballers dwell
Another day, another dollar, Blueberry to sell
I makes that fast cash (Hmm)
Dat N***a Daz — I'm quicker ta' out-slick ya, blast then dash
[Verse 3: Kurupt]
D.P.G. eliminates the whole area
Beyond the thought dismemberin', muthafuck surrenderin'!
Who? What? When? Let's tear shit the fuck up!
The homies coolin' while you and ya chest get fuckin' blew in
Provoke us, survey wit' the superior focus
I'm Dat N***a like Daz, crooked as scoliosis
It's impossible to survive on my arrival
When I arrive, it's left to ya instinct of survival
Mashin', cashin' in chips, I gotta lick
Sadistic, sick minded I find it, I'm mentally sick
And badder, it doesn't matter when ya enterin'
Ya just entered in a war zone all alone
Wit' ya microphone unguarded
I just started — poetical poltergeist precise and cold-hearted
Empty! Tempt me? Simply ya get shot
Ya forgot I'm down to empty out my clip on ya block
Stop! Make the whole place evacuate
Wait until we face-to-face, then it escalates
Duck down! Kurupt clowns n***as daily, hoes can't play me
Observe — I serve those that betray me!
[Outro: Nate Dogg]
I ain't never seen a joint that I couldn't light
And I ain't never seen a busta that didn't bite
I ain't never seen a G that would go for that
Especially when he knows Tha Dogg Pound got his back
I ain't never seen a game that didn't multiply
We gettin' kinda deep, yeah, the crew and I
[Kurupt] And who am I?
[Snoop] Who am I?
That crazy muthafucka from the D.P.G., do or die!
