For this is the season of catching the vapors |
|
Since I got time, what I'm gonna do |
|
Tell ya how it's spreading throughout my crew |
|
What you want on Nate Dogg |
|
Who sings on my records, 'Never Leave Me Alone' |
|
'Ain't No Fun', now check it |
|
Back in the days before Nate Dogg would get it |
|
He used to try to holler at this girl named Pam |
|
The type of female wit fly Gucci gear |
|
She wore a big turkish wole wit a weave in her hair |
|
When they tried to kick it, she'd always fess |
|
Talkin about baby please she wrought his service stress |
|
Since he wasn't no type of big chronic dealer |
|
The homie Nate Dogg didn't appeal to her |
|
But now he wear boots that match with his suits |
|
And push a Lexus Coupe that's extra cheap |
|
And now she stop flautin and won't it speakin |
|
Be comin round the Pound every single weekend |
|
to get his beeper number she be beggin please |
|
Dyin for the day to eat these |
|
She caught the vapors |
|
She caught the vapors |
|
I got a little cousin that's kinda plain |
|
He bring the heeb wit tha beep for the Dogg Pound gang |
|
A mellow type of fellow best laid back |
|
But back in the day he wasn't nuthin like that |
|
I remember when he used to scrap every day |
|
When my auntie would tell him he would never obey |
|
He wore his khakis hangin down wit his starks untied |
|
And a blue and grey cap that said the Eastside |
|
Around my neighborhood tha people treated him bad |
|
Said Daz was the worst thing his mom ever had |
|
They said he grow up to be nuttin but a gangsta |
|
Or be there in jail or some other shaker |
|
But now he's grown up to be a surprise |
|
D-A-Z got a hit record slangin world wide |
|
Now the same people that didn't like him as a child |
|
Bought the Dogg Food, Doggfather, and Doggystyle |
|
They caught the vapors |
|
They caught the vapors |
|
I got another homie from tha L-B-C |
|
Known ta yall as D.J. Warren G |
|
He cut grass trasform wit finesse |
|
......... and all that mess |
|
I remember when we first started to rap |
|
He tried to get this job at Calvin's record shop |
|
He was in it to win it, but the boss front and said |
|
Sorry Warren G but there's no help wanted |
|
Now my homie Warren still tried |
|
On and on and on til the like break of dawn |
|
To work at tha V-I-P would be the link |
|
But they looked right past him so my homie straight dip |
|
Now for the year after Regulate |
|
Warren G is havin papers so my homies write straight |
|
He walked into the same record shop as before |
|
And the boss be like Warren welcome to my store |
|
Offerin him a job but nah he don't want it |
|
Damn it feels good to see people love Warren |
|
Cause I remember when at first they wasn't |
|
Now guess what they call sessy bussin |
|
the vapors |
|
They caught vapors |
|
I got to talk bout me now |
|
Last subject of tha story is about Snoop Dogg |
|
I had to work for mine to show I was a true hog |
|
When I was a teenager I tried to be down |
|
And since they wasn't tryin to hear me I made the Dogg Pound |
|
I saw a crew on 2-1 street |
|
and said, 'Can I be down champ?' They said |
|
no, and treated me like a wet food stamp |
|
after gettin rejected, I ain't runnin upset |
|
I said, 'What's a Dogg do to?' Rhymes at rates |
|
When I used to go to parties, they make me wait |
|
What I have to get on the mic to set M-C straight |
|
I ain't never love no hoe since I'm listenin to my music |
|
They acted like I wanted to keep hangin with the juzi |
|
But now things switched from West to East |
|
Short Dogg do ya remember me from 21st street G? |
|
'We used to see Daz, back in the day' |
|
It happens all the time, so brother don't be amazed |
