| [00:29.89] |
Working LA tryin to get paid tha right way |
| [00:32.44] |
But somehow the right way don't pay |
| [00:35.10] |
I'm comin home late every night gotta struggle an fight |
| [00:37.66] |
Wit tha baseheads on tha late night hype |
| [00:39.81] |
Tryin to creep in tha house through tha cut for what? |
| [00:42.28] |
So I won't be seen by none of the homies but |
| [00:44.55] |
Tha homie Nate Dogg spots me and say "Yo what's happenin' |
| [00:47.42] |
Oh you don't know me no more" and passed me tha satin |
| [00:49.81] |
I said "Ah naw it ain't like that G |
| [00:52.18] |
I'm trying to go straight and have a J-O-B" |
| [00:54.64] |
"You need to quit that faggot ass job" that's what he said |
| [00:57.28] |
Showed me his grip and took some satin to tha head |
| [00:59.81] |
Damn that n*gga had at least two G's |
| [01:02.04] |
And he was clockin it wit so much ease |
| [01:04.72] |
I told him I was gone so I'm headin in tha house |
| [01:07.26] |
Everybody knocked out so I'm locked out |
| [01:09.76] |
I go back to tha front where my homies is hangin at |
| [01:12.04] |
They offer me a cavi sack so I can start slangin dat |
| [01:14.62] |
They say you ain't a hustler I say don't doubt it |
| [01:17.08] |
Hold dat thought and I'll think about it because |
| [01:22.73] |
I don't like to dream about gettin paid....... |
| [01:39.72] |
The thought's complete so let me take a seat |
| [01:41.78] |
Since I was born and raised on tha streets |
| [01:44.35] |
I quit tha job I had cop myself a sack |
| [01:46.99] |
Went from a double of fifty into a ceno stack |
| [01:49.42] |
Within a week but my peak wouldn't reach |
| [01:51.73] |
I was gettin too known on tha north side of Long Beach |
| [01:54.59] |
N*ggas got to trippin and I thought I heard it |
| [01:56.73] |
So I went to tha hood on twentieth and Murder |
| [01:59.22] |
I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back |
| [02:02.79] |
And bid my sack |
| [02:04.68] |
Or maybe it's seven or was it eight hundred strong |
| [02:06.71] |
In other words Daz had it goin on |
| [02:09.49] |
I bought myself a bucket that's right a bucket b*tch |
| [02:11.66] |
Who you f*ckin my car or my d*ck |
| [02:14.39] |
My lifestyle switched a bit but my attitude didn't |
| [02:16.76] |
I told all my old b*tches good riddance |
| [02:19.22] |
Cause when you got money hoes come automatically |
| [02:21.58] |
And old hoes don't do nothing but cause some static see |
| [02:24.10] |
I went from khakis to Guess braids to a fade |
| [02:26.44] |
I'm not Special Ed but I had it made |
| [02:28.96] |
Livin tha life of a baller care free |
| [02:31.41] |
Havin b*tches dyin to sleep wit me ya see |
| [02:33.88] |
But I went bankrupt from all the spending and gamblin |
| [02:36.30] |
Business was gettin slow and I wasn't handlin |
| [02:38.78] |
Mine tha way I was supposed to |
| [02:41.00] |
Now I'm broke and on a jack mission so don't get close to |
| [02:43.94] |
Tha D-P-G gang cause we scandalous when we broke |
| [02:46.30] |
We get tha doggs in us and we get ta actin like some |
| [03:09.23] |
Last night I had a dream |
| [03:11.29] |
Felt so good it had to be |
| [03:14.24] |
Me and my homies were gettin paid |
| [03:16.29] |
Man oh man we had it made |
| [03:18.82] |
Some homies want to roll wit me |
| [03:21.12] |
Some homies claim insanity |
| [03:23.56] |
Well if you want to set trip I will |
| [03:25.87] |
If you don't want to drop be still |
| [03:28.28] |
Damn I can't believe this but you can best believe thistoday |
| [03:31.30] |
I'm on another mission to get paid |
| [03:33.23] |
Serve what I can serve right So my pockets will stack up |
| [03:35.94] |
N*gga don't trip n*gga back up I gots to react off the first impulse I find |
| [03:41.05] |
But my mama thinks I should take my time |
| [03:43.72] |
And work for mines but how much work would it take |
| [03:46.21] |
And how much money would I make |
| [03:48.65] |
Wait theres somethin I gotta think about |
| [03:50.58] |
But I ain't got that much time |
| [03:51.89] |
Moms want a n*gga out tha house |
| [03:53.45] |
I ain't gettin no younger I'm only gettin older |
| [03:55.68] |
I'm only thinking about what my mama told me |
| [03:58.29] |
Now I'm a Dogg Pound gangsta for life |
| [04:00.69] |
And the fact that I'm out to get paid twice |
| [04:03.17] |
I ain't nuttin nice down to slang or pull a heist |
| [04:05.65] |
Jack or break muthaf*ckas on the dice |
| [04:08.28] |
That's real now what should I do |
| [04:10.30] |
Just chill when it's time to peel caps and adapt to kill |
| [04:13.06] |
I've concealed tha concealed so I've maintained for tha salary |
| [04:15.57] |
And my mentally is raw from tha door |
| [04:18.18] |
I go hard from tha door up against all odds |
| [04:20.55] |
Always down to squab dogg Pound for life |
| [04:22.99] |

| [04:27.07] |
