Deep Cover
DR. DRE feat. snoop dogg Lyrics

Hit this motherfucker, G
Offering drugs to someone, suggesting they smoke crack cocaine

Aw, man, I been dealing with you for three motherfuckin' months you ain't hit the pipe in front of me yet (So, what you saying?) I think you 5-0!
Accusing someone of being an undercover cop because they have not used drugs in front of the singer

Well, hit this motherfucker then (I can feel it)
Taking drugs to prove that someone is not a cop

Tonight's the night I get in some shit (yeah) Deep Cover on the incognito tip Killing motherfuckers if I have to, peeling caps too 'Cause you niggas know I'm coming at you
Preparing for violence and murder while operating covertly

I guess that's part of the game, but I feel for the nigga Who think he just gonna come and change things With the swiftness, so get it right with the quickness And let me handle my business, yo
Acknowledging that taking violent action is necessary to maintain the status quo, and insisting on being the one in control

I'm on a mission and my mission won't stop Until I get the nigga maxing at the top (I hope you get his ass 'fore he drop)
Determined to eliminate a drug kingpin and concerned about the potential for the kingpin to be killed by someone else before the singer can do it

Kingpin kicking back while his workers slang his rocks Coming up like a fat rat Big money, big cars, big bodyguards on his back So it's difficult to get him
Describing a powerful drug dealer and the obstacles to taking him down

(But I got the hook up with somebody Who knows how to get in contact with him) Hit him like this and like that Let 'em know that I'm looking for a big fat dope sack
Planning to use a contact to gain access to the drug kingpin and make a deal

With ends to spend, so let's rush it If you want to handle it tonight, we'll discuss it On a nigga's time, and a nigga's place Take my strap just in case one of his boys recognize my face
Urging haste and caution while preparing to meet the drug kingpin

'Cause he's a sheisty motherfucker But I gives a fuck, 'cause I'm going Deep Cover
Acknowledging the danger posed by the drug kingpin but not caring because the artist is determined to complete the mission

Creep with me, as I crawl through the hood Maniac, lunatic, call me Snoop Eastwood Kicking dust as I bust, fuck peace And, the motherfuckin' punk police
Describing the singer's violent and aggressive mindset, and expressing disdain for the police

You already know I gives a fuck about a cop So why in the fuck would you think that it would stop? Plot, yeah, that's what we's about to do Take yo' ass on a mission with the boys in blue
Making it clear that the artist has no loyalty to the police and is willing to work with them to further their own interests

Dre (what up Snoop?) Yo, I got the feeling Tonight's the night like Betty Wright, and I'm chilling Killing, feeling, no remorse, yeah So lets go straight to the motherfucking source
Eager to take violent action, feeling no regret for it, and ready to confront the target

And see what we can find Crooked-ass cops that be getting niggas a gang of time And now they wanna make a deal with me Scoop me up and put me on they team and chill with me And make my pockets bigger
Investigating corrupt police officers who have been sending people to prison, and considering working with them to make money

They want to meet with me tonight at seven o'clock (so what's up nigga?) What you wanna do? (What you wanna do?) I got the gauge, a Uzi, and my motherfuckin' twenty-two So if you wanna blast, nigga we can buck 'em If we stick 'em then we struck 'em, so fuck 'em!
Discussing the plan to meet with the corrupt cops and expressing a willingness to use violence if necessary

Six-fo'-five was the time on the clock When me and my homie belled in the parking lot The scene looked strange and it felt like a set up (Better not be, 'cause if it is they getting lit up)
Arriving at the meeting place and being suspicious that it might be a trap

Oh, here they come from the back in they 'llacs I'm checking for the gats they strap, so what's up, black? (Chill, let's hear the deal If it ain't up to what you feel then grab your steel)
Encountering the corrupt cops and checking to see if they are armed, while considering whether to engage in violence

Right, so, what you motherfuckers gon' come at me with? Hope you ain't wanting none of my grip 'Cause you can save that shit (guess what they told me?)
Demanding to know what the cops want, warning them against trying to steal the singer's drugs, and revealing that they offered to pay the singer to snitch on their own friend

"We give you 20 G's if you snitch on your homie We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush Oh yeah, but you got to sell dope for us." Hmm, let me think about it
Receiving an offer to become a paid informant and drug dealer, and considering whether to accept it

Turned my back and grabbed my gat And guess what I told him before I shot it: "If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't stop, yeah I'm letting my gat pop, 'cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop!"
Deciding to reject the cops' offer and instead kill them, as they are undercover police and therefore threats to the artist's safety and freedom
