Nate Dogg - These Days

Lyrics

[Chorus: x2]

These days, you gotta be strapped

I'm already knowing ain't nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

I believe I got to see

We been making music since we were kids

Its all I want to do, for life

Keeping it real until the day I die

I stay funkish 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 thinking negro league

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 niggas play to me

I think its because they see me on BET

'cause everybody knows my name

All the police think I'm serving game

Jealous niggas call us out

But I don't worry long as I hear their mouths

If ever they decide to kill

You better be prepared 'cause I know I will

I think I can guarantee

You don't want to be standing next to me

Before my final curtain call

My mistakes they really won't be long

If we bump this in the streets

Or even at some party

You niggas really can't see me

My request is that you stop trying

Before I let go

[Chorus: x2]

Everyday, the 45 stays I'm jacking forever

I busting taking now bowing down never

Gotta watch my back for these coppers

As well as the niggas that I kick it with

They stick you faster than these bitches will

Since I'm pimping everybody wants my riches

And I can't keep my god for buying weed acting every time

I smoke constantly and can't flinch me

From committing the murders so I chill and puff the herb

Who gots my back nobody

If little giant gaudy laying niggas down at the homey's party

Always be goin crazy I guess we are being who we are

Really say the nigga gotta be a star

I gots to get mine and if I'm blasting its my destiny

If I die then it was meant to be intentionally

Worry stressing no guessing your profession

When the murder take place set yourself a tech 9

[Chorus: x4]
