[Intro: [?]] 9-4 is a brand new thang Dogg Pound with the gangsta swing And we just gon' hang And I still got my motherfuckin' gangsta name [Verse 1: Snoop Dogg] There once was a kid by the name of Dave Who stayed in the hood and never ever obeyed He paid no attention to the shit that was taught to him Always stay strapped for the shit that was brought to him This nigga was a motherfuckin' fool Only 13, fuckin' bitches in high school Laid back, his game was trump tight He be chillin' in the day time, clockin' at night Make me wanna holla 'cause the dollar he kept As he grows in this game, goin' step by step To the status of a Snoop Capone Mr. Big 6 in the game of bones but you know what they say What goes up, it must come down So just peep while I speak as you focus to the sound [Chorus 1: Snoop Dogg] A little bitty nigga by the name of Dave Who was from the hood always misbehaved And when the cavi got took it was time to get paid Sack his shit up in dubs and now he's on his way [Verse 2: Snoop Dogg] Mischievous and devious is how his life was Puttin' swerve down with cavi just to keep the [?] bud Some of the money makin' motherfuckers from the other side Was thinkin' about a jack move tryna hoo ride Gettin' jealous 'cause the nigga got the dope game sowed up Them niggas tried to trip, biddy biddy back, they got blowed up Grown up or not, you'll still get shot You don't never play a motherfucker (Mmm-mm, mmm-mm) out for his knot Rule number 1, pay attention to the shit Don't be fuckin' with them lil niggas, they (Haha) ain't to be fucked with He kept gettin' it on to the break of dawn And now he's known for serving more than a ozone He's got a 187 on his motherfuckin' chest A strap in his lap and a bulletproof vest (And he) He lookin' for the niggas from the night before but he don't know Them niggas chillin' at his back door [Chorus 2: Snoop Dogg] Dave on a mission out to set trip But one of his peoples is a motherfuckin' snitch Some nigga Mick from around the way, they say "we'll give you 20 G's if you show us where he stay" [Verse 3: Snoop Dogg] Now that muthafucka straight snitched on Dave And he got him in the penitentiary doin' a century He mobbin' through the county main line Back in 9500 on the grind Spittin' game at the homies 'bout the good ol' days While we try to pass time, waitin' for the chain To Chino, we see no, reason to cry Cause a nigga still alive, right? [Verse 4: The Lady Of Rage] Forgive me God for I have forsaken thee Not wanna say that it's the devil that's makin' me (Uh-uh) Do what I do, (Uh-huh) the things that I've done just because I'm young and it's all for fun I never really thought about the consequences (But what?) But ever since Eazy died, I said "Now I'ma listen" (Uh) [?] I walk through the valley of death I open my eyes, they droppin' like flies, my last breath Might get snatched, taken, broke down or shaken (Uh) Shaken by that shit that's breakin' down Your nervous system, so if your nervous listen Kissin' cousins (Uh-huh) die by the dozens Because I like this lovin' will I burn in a oven? Fire we furnace 'cause sometimes the yearn gets (Uh) Tempting so I yield into temptation (Uh, uh) Intoxication mixed with fornication, face The nation, face revelation, the ending Will I be caught up in the rapture or will I be left behind because when I [?] [?] and got [?] Amazing grace can save a wretch like me but a wretch like me feels that hell is already my destiny Because I messed with he, him, he who sends them, the demons I see 'em scheming amongst my dreamings They tell me he awaits suddenly I awake I got the funny feeling it won't be long before he takes, my soul That was the deal, all for mass appeal Dollar, dollar bill now my fate seems sealed Nail in the coffin, he's coughing, I'm lookin' through my iris to see if he's got the virus Paranoia starts to sink in, uh The rain [?] start to blink in and out of my mind playin' tricks on me [Verse 5: Technic]
