Tha Dogg Pound, Prince Ital Joe, Dr. Dre - Respect lyrics

I know you're bobbin' your head
'cause I can see ya huh, yeah
I know you're bobbin' your head
'cause I can see ya uh, yeah
I know you're bobbin' your head
'cause I can see ya huh, yeah
I know you're bobbin' your head
'cause I can see ya
Huh, you can't see me, huh
Back up in that ass once again
Wit' some of Dat Nigga Daz shit
Beatin' up on your ear drums
With some of that G-Funk
Some of that gangsta funk
Some of that ghetto funk
Call it what you want
Just don't forget the G
Got Tha muthafuckin' Dogg Pound in the house

Now, tell me what's poppin' in your head
My brother?


(What you wan' do? End up dead, muthafucka?)
I don't know why we got to kill each other
('Cause on the streets, it's do or die
Muthafucka)
Now, as a child I was raised in the church
Now, whatever possessed me to
Do the shit that
I do to put you in the dirt?
I gives a fuck about a nigga on the streets
I'm runnin' '94 and I done ran '93
Unlike no hurdle
For the murders I committed in
My homie fo' convertible
And not a soul saw who did it
As I lean to the side in my homie G-Ride
On a mission, fo' deep, Dogg Pound do or die

Now, if you see me mobbin' down the streets
What would you think? (Not)
Realizin' that I'm survivin' off instinct
What makes my mind click to perfect timin'?
For me to twist shit
Switch and rip shit the fuck
Up like The Shining
'Cause I'm in my own zone, alone I'm found
You think you saw
But death is all around like a ghost town
Perhaps you, know I acts a fool if I have to
Can you comprehend or adapt to?

Respect to the Death Row Inmates
Death Row Inmates lawd dem never hesitate
To bust a gun shot, in a i-diot face
Dis is Dogg Pound and your life goes to waste
Free Dogg Pound territory
Dat Nigga Daz put you inna di cemetery
Snoop Dogg, di criminal mentality
Fuck wit Dirty Kurupt and yuh dead each way
(D-P-Gdogg Pound Gangstaz) lawd

Now, wit' Dat Nigga Daz
Everywhere I roll I'm set to blast
The way to success is elevatin' too fast
Every corner that I turn
There's money to burn
Wit' no concern, count the amount
There's more to be earned
Set-trip, the word I hear every nigga spit
Sixty percent's trippin'
Forty percent's bullshittin'
Industry's shady, my safety's in jeopardy
Controllin' minds like mental telepathy
Niggas shady as fuck
Kurupt can see it in ya eyes
Anticipatin' for the real to
Come from the disguise
Tha Pound we roll thick like one-time
And I could fuck yo' bitch after
I bust just one rhyme
All we do is smoke weed and get blitzed
And kick that muthafuckin' gangsta shit
(Say what? Say what? Say what?
Say what? Say what?)
Kick that muthafuckin' gangsta shit

Well, I see myself on top
By the age of 22, or will I drop?
A fallen star that has been forgotten not
In the past, I mainly hustled for the cash
Surprised to see Dat Nigga rise up on dat ass
Anybody killa, do or die if I have to
On deck, 24 7 and blastin' if I have to
I live my life by the
Sword accordin' to the law
Before I stopped to wonder why
The journey's so far
From the danger that lurks
From the one that's out doin' dirt
Step to mine and find yourself
Vanish away from this Earth
Beyond the heartbreaks and heartaches
Rest in peace ride or die
Death is unexplainable when you die
We don't got to stoop low
We don't got to stoop low
We don't got to stoop to your level
But when they see we comin', lawd
Now, when they see we comin', lawd
Now, when they see we comin', lawd
They tremble 'Cause we a rebel
Terror from a well fractured gun
And you know we keep it real
To make your life invisible
So don't fuck, you betta be respectable
