Hit this motherfucker, G
(N-naw, man, I can't fuck with that)
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!
(5-0? Man, I ain't no motherfucking cop)
Well, hit this motherfucker then
(I can feel it)

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
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
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)
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
(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
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
'Cause he's a sheisty motherfucker
But I gives a fuck, 'cause I'm going Deep Cover

Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)

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
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
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
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
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!
(I can feel it!)

Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)

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)
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)
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?)
"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
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!"

Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)
Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)




Yeah, and you don't stop
('Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg's song "Deep Cover" tell the story of two undercover cops trying to infiltrate a drug organization. However, the focus of the song is not on the cops but on the rappers who are pretending to be criminals. They rap about how dangerous their mission is and how they are willing to kill in self-defense. They also boast about their criminal skills and how they are not intimidated by the police. The lyrics are full of violent imagery and explicit language, which reflect the gangsta rap style of the early 1990s.


The song "Deep Cover" was released as the theme song for the 1992 movie "Deep Cover," which starred Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum as undercover cops. The movie was produced by Hunt Lowry and directed by Bill Duke. The lyrics of the song were written by Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre, while the music was composed by Dr. Dre. The song became a hit, reaching No. 46 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and No. 36 on the Hot Rap Singles chart.


The lyrics of "Deep Cover" are notable for their vivid descriptions of gang violence and drug dealing, which were controversial at the time of the song's release. Some critics accused the song of promoting a culture of criminality and glorifying violence. However, others argued that the song was a reflection of the harsh realities of life in inner-city neighborhoods. Moreover, the song helped to establish the careers of Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg, who went on to become two of the most influential figures in hip-hop.

Through reading the 66 separate books of the Holy Bible as a individual male or female on Earth πŸŒŽπŸ“– of the Land of Jerusalem Israel and many parts of the Middle East, The 1,189 chapters, and hundreds of thousands of words, the Bible shares one extraordinary message: God loves ❀️ you.
From the first chapter of Genesis, Where GOD creates the Earth 🌍 and human beingsπŸ‘©πŸ‘¨, through the last chapter of Revelation, where God welcomes anyone to"take the Water of Life freely" (22:17).
Revelation 22:17 (KJV)
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

The Bible proves God is intimately involved in, familiar with, and concerned about the lives of people. πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘¦πŸ‘§πŸ‘¨πŸ‘©πŸ‘΄πŸ‘΅πŸŒπŸŒŽπŸŒ
His amazing love is shown in the (sacrifice/ ☠️ crucifixion Death and Resurrection in AD 33) of His Son, The LORD Jesus Christ, on the cross. That sacrifice for sin allows anyone to be right with God through simple faith in Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior work.πŸ’πŸŒΉπŸ’‘

Snoop delivery is best in all of any musical genre of spoken word. His voice is unique . Snoop is a icon , period . He was born for this

@felixcat9318

I couldn't agree more!

Snoop's voice is like no other and he uses it perfectly in his performances.

I'll never tire of hearing him rap, especially to this.

@hiawa23

Snoop and Dre was fire. I still get chills every time Snoop hit his verse.
