| Verse 1: Snoop Dogg | |
| Wake up, jumped out my bed | |
| Hung in a 2 man cell wit my homey Lil’ 1/2 Dead | |
| Murder was the case that they gave me | |
| Dear God, I wonder can you save me | |
| I’m only 18, so I’m a young buck | |
| It’s a ride, if I don’t scrap, I’m gettin’ stuck | |
| But that’s the life of a G, I guess | |
| Ese’s way deep, shanked 2 in they chest | |
| Bests run ’cause brothers is droppin’ quicker | |
| Ugn, too late, damn, down goes another nigga | |
| Bouncin’ off the walls, throwin’ them dogs | |
| Gettin’ a rep as a young hog | |
| It ain’t nuttin’ like the street life | |
| Betta be strapped wit yo clip ’cause ain’t no fist fight | |
| So I guess I gots to handle mine | |
| Since I did the crime, I gots to do my time. | |
| Them say me grow up to be nuttin’ | |
| Look at me now. What do you see? | |
| I am what I am it’s only me. | |

| Verse 2: Dr. Dre | |

| That I’m makin’ as soon as I touch the street | |
| Things done changed but it’s alright | |
| Remember they used to thump but now they blast, right | |
| But it ain’t no thing to me | |
| ’Cause now I’m what they call a ’loc’d assed O.G. | |
| The little homies from the hood wit grip | |
| Are the ones I get wit ’cause I’m down respect trip | |
| Nigga, I’m bigger than you. So what’cha wanna do? | |
| Didn’t know we had a 22 | |
| Straight sittin’ behind his back | |
| I’m grab his pockets & then I heard 6 caps | |
| I fell to the ground wit blood on my hands | |
| I didn’t understand | |
| How a nigga so young could bust a cap | |
| I use to be the same way back | |
| I guess that’s what I get "For what?" | |
| For tryin’ to jack them little homies for they bread. | |
