Went solo on that ass but it's still the same
Long Beach is the spot where I served my cane

Follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me but don't lose your grip
Nine-trizzay's the yizzear for me to fuck up shit
So I ain't holdin' nuttin' back
And motherfucker I got five on the twenty sack

It's like that and as a matter of fact, rat-tat-tat-tat

Yeah, so peep out the manuscript
You see that it's a must we drop gangsta shit
What's my motherfuckin' name?

Droppin' shit with my nigga Mr. Dr. Dre

Like I said, niggaz can't fuck with this

Shit that I drop 'cuz ya know it don't stop
Mr. One Eight Seven on a motherfuckin' cop

Tic toc never the glock just some nuts and a cock
Robbin motherfuckers then I kill dem blood claats
Then I step through the fog and I creep through the smog

Bow wow, yippy yo, yippy yay, bow wow, yippy yo

Bow wow, yippy yo, yippy yay, bow wow, yippy yo

Now just throw your hands in the motherfuckin' air
And wave the motherfuckers like ya just don't care
Yeah, roll up the dank and pour the drank
And watch your step 'cuz Doggy's on the gank

My bank roll's on swoll
My shit's on hit, legit, now I'm on parole, stroll
With the Dogg Pound right behind me
And up in yo bitch, is where ya might find me
