O.G.

Snoop (Daz):

Yeah, what I'mma do right here is take my time

And dedicating this one to my niggas resting in peace

And my niggas behind the wall

See you when I get there, you know what I'm saying? (really doe)

So drip with me as I go down memory lane

Boy is it looney where the grass is greener?

(1-8-7 ain't shit but a misdemeanor)

I've seen a lot of niggas come up, a few niggas done up

Some rest in peace, with their khakis heavy creased

But it's a East Side thang, a hoo ride thang

('Cause if we bang to the boogie than we boogie to the bang)

I bring you the motherfucking .38

(just get the MC and the homie Nate)

So we can slide, slide, slippity slide

As I take you on a trip nigga ride (East Side)

Nate (Daz):

Do you remember back on the East Side?

Where all us niggas used to love to ride

We didn't care what we did

Time was nothing to us we were just kids

Times are different now, but you still get stuck

I'm not a kid no more, I just don't give a fuck

So if you're thinking about coming and stepping to me

Keep this in mind: I'm a motherfucking O.G

Snoop:

Lets speed the clock up and pass some time

June 17th, 1979

That's my first time being arrested

I know I did the crime, but I ain't going to confess to this shit

I learned that from the G's

A G is a overseer, the overseer sees

More than you do cause he gets experienced

And besides I'm just a juvenile delinquent

4 hours gone, and I'm on my way home

My momma's coming to scoop me in a Fleetwood Brougham

She puts a jacket on my back and hands me a comb

We stop at frosty freeze for a couple snow cones

She telling me that I didn't need to do what I done

She said: "playing football should be your only fun son"

I'm like "alright" so we enter the house

I mobbed through the door and pops fired to the mouth

I couldn't do nothing but cry like a bitch

I looked at my momma and said "damn, why you snitch?"

They put me on punishment but that didn't work

Now wearing khakis, Wallabees, and a T-shirt (What up, cuz?)

And throwing up the neighborhood gang sides

I do my first robbery and now I gotta do time

Nate:

My homie told me one day he had a jack move

He said: "come on Nate Dogg, it'll be smooth"

I agreed and said "come on, let's go and jack them fools"

Next day we were draped in the county blues

I went and did a little time in the fuckin' pen (seventeen years!)

Saying to myself "I'll never fuck with that nigga again"

'fore I'm locked down I learned to be

What I am now and that's a motherfucking O.G

Original gangsta

Daz:

I grew up in the city as a child, faced the trials

Never smiled, became a gangster in the meanwhile

You'd find me swearing and lying, trying to be an O.G.,

Beating the shit out of niggas for Guess and Hillfigers

The man behind the trigger, committing robberies

With the homies, no one could stop, nobody knew me

Gankin' niggas for sure, sucker niggas better know me

Because we ain't letting the bullshit slide no more

Do you in nigga and kick in your front door

To let you know we can't take no more

Feeling revenge, killing enemies, family and friends

And let you pay the cost for my homie's life, it's lost

Toss a coin in the air, run my fingers through my hair

And ask myself: "who the fuck should I really fear?"

I done ran around with the best killers

Thug criminals and drug dealers

Blasting niggas if they come near us

Open casket with evil spirits, no one could help us if we could

Knock on wood for good luck

Serve every nigga in your hood with a buck, now you've been struck

Stood gangsta then, still a Gangsta now

A grown child laying niggas the fuck down

Nate (Daz):

Original gangsta (original gangsta)

Coming from Long Beach (the town by the sea where niggas know me)

Coming from the East Side...

You're fucking with The Pound, oh nigga please

C-O-Bs can't see the D-O-double Gs

Shout outs to my nigga Mr. D-A-Z

Shout outs to my nigga Mr. Warren G

Shout outs to my nigga S-N-double O-P

Shout outs to my niggas C-Style and me

Snoop (Nate):

Yeah, straight up, based on a true story

You know what I'm saying? It's a G thang baby (original gangsta)

You trick ass bitch!
