[Technique] By dawn's early light I shine brighter than the stars in the night And 'bout ready for a fight Come noon, I've consumed enough juice To cut loose and throw a mic to the moon Since I'm the sun, I'll make you one, it's all for fun I'm torching hot and all the same From playing war games with Saddam Hussein Now who's sane? I'm insane, my membrane's on cold-grown The tempature's rising, to fry the cells in your dome It might be on, and if you think so, you know me It's Tech Caponey, the Doggfather's little homey [Snoop Doggy Dogg] Ain't that somethin', how I got little homeys now? I remember when I was just a little bow-wow Writing for my rep, calling 'fore I step Now I put niggas in the game just to stay on deck High profile, but my style low-pro Top dogg on the Row, Doggystyle C.E.O. And I blow the best indo, that you know of So when I'm in your town, dip down, and show love You know what? What's up? Shit, I'm feeling good now You better come and get me 'fore I fall into a freestyle [Technique] They say, what's a rapper? Well nigga, what's an emcee? If they don't got the skills, then they don't roll with me Ain't that the truth?, I'm bulletproof off the roof I got a mic and a fix, that'll jack you for your tooth I'm out for rep, but how long will it last? I'm coming up quick, cause broke niggas need cash At last, I'm at the top, so I maintain now Gotta bang now, nigga this Doggystyle [Snoop Doggy Dogg] All she ever wanted was a small time, love thang Got my homey caught up in the dope game, coke game He so sprung, on top of that he young He's only thirteen years old, and the world's so cold He never took the time-out to fall down on his knees Until he fucked his G, got some keys, now they's enemies The niggas he grew up with, they put him in the game Now they 'bout to take him out the game Man it's a shame, but you know how that shit go That's life in the fast lane, that's why I roll ?? [Chorus]: Kurupt,(Snoop), <*some singing in the backgound*> I'd rather not get shot I'd rather sit in the studio and rock spots Dogg Pound, Doggystyle, we're one big family, it's all DPG (DPG) I got a G on the best bomb money can buy I ain't out for no homicides, I'm out to survive Dogg Pound, Doggystyle, one big family, it's all DPG (DPG) [Technique] (Niggas) Niggas and hoes will try to get you twisted But I'm unlisted in the books You base your life on that, you might get your life took, BLAOW! Put me in the game, I'm riding hard 'til I win Serve a crew, kill a few niggas, 'til the end I mean, I'm a fiend for superior green And all my life I got advice from a superior team I gotta stay away from the casket Don't get blasted, and tell my kids how I lasted But my crew's mafioso, so my philoso- Phy is to G to the day that I d-i-e <*echoes*> [Snoop Doggy Dogg] Snoop Dogg, smooth and imperial Wake up every morning to my Lucky Charms cerials Time's getting drastic, man I'm a flas it Dogg Pound Gangstas' choking off that boombastic Have you ever heard? I'm loose, shook the feds, like the juice, Snoop Dogg is 121st proof Fool, you's a deuce, Deuce is some Genuine Draft I'm a genuwine, like ??, and all about cash, cash, Cash, I got some free, so indeed I gets the lighter for the hash Has it ever been a time when you didn't have a dime To your name, and the only way to gain is through crime? Sometimes I used to pack, one time I got jacked by some sacs But you know I got mine, you know about the Don Corleone I'm-a survive and thank God for Lil' Spanky B. and Bone [Chorus]: Kurupt,(Snoop), <*some singing in the backgound*> <*singing in the backgound continues until the end*>
