[Chorus: x2]
These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin ain't nobody got my back
These days you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

I believe I got good skills
We been makin music since we were kids
That's all I want to do, for life
Keepin it real until the day I die

Obstacles get in my way
Continue to mash and don't forget to pray
I keep my hand on my steel
Because I love my life and I always will

Whatever people say to me
I take it in stride I'm thinkin negro please
If you really don't know me
Then you best back up, I suggest strongly

They started this DPG
Until the day I D-I-E
For my L-I-F and E
No matter where I look that's all I see
And I know...

[Chorus: x2]

Many n****z cling to me
I think its because they see me on BET
'Cause everybody knows my name
All the police think I'm serving cane

Jealous n****z call us out
But I don't worry long as I hear their mouths 
If ever they decide to kill
You better be prepared because I know I will

I think I can guarantee
You don't want to be standin next to me
Before my final curtain call
I forsake save hen and won't be long
So if we bump hits in the streets
Or even at some party
You n****z really can't see me
My request is that you stop trying
Before I let go...

[Chorus: x2]

[Daz]
Everyday, the 45 stays I'm jackin for whoever
I bustin takin now bowin down never
Gotta watch my back for these coppers
As well as these n****z that I kick it with

They stick you faster than these b****es will
Since I'm pimpin everybody wants my riches
And I can't keep the Don from buying weed actin everytime
I smoke constantly and can't flinch me

From commitin the murders so I chill and puff the herb
Who gots my back nobody
Little John Gotti's layin n****z down at the homey's party
All be goin crazy I guess we are bein who we are 

Really say the n**** gotta be a star
I gots to get mine and if I blast then its my destiny
If I die then it was meant to be intentionally
Worry stressin I'm guessin no confession
When the murder take place set yourself protection

[Chorus: x4]
