Deep Cover
Dr Dre (feat. Snoop Dogg) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 thangs
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 homey 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 gonna 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 homey
We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush
Oh yeah, but you got to sell dope for us."
Hmmm, 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!"

(I hope you get him before something bad happens)


Kingpin kicking back while his workers slang his rocks
The boss is laying low while his employees sell his drugs


Coming up like a fat rat
Making a lot of money, quickly


Big money, big cars, big bodyguards on his back
Living in luxury and being protected by strong security


So it's difficult to get him
It's not easy to reach him

I'm causing chaos and violence, not trying to promote peace


And, the motherfuckin punk police
And I have no respect for the corrupt police


You already know I gives a fuck about a cop So why in the fuck would you think that it would stop?

Hire me and be my friend


And make my pockets bigger
And pay me more money

They want to meet with me tonight at 7 pm (so what do you think, my friend?)

I got the gauge, a Uzi, and my motherfuckin twenty-two
I have weapons to defend myself


So if you wanna blast, nigga we can buck 'em If we stick 'em then we struck 'em, so fuck 'em!
So if you want to start a shootout, we're ready. If we hit them, we'll keep going and not care


('I can feel it!')
(I have a feeling that something is going to happen!)


Six-fo'-five was the time on the clock When me and my homey belled in the parking lot
It was 6:05 pm when my friend and I arrived at 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!)
The situation seemed suspicious, and I felt it might be a trap (I hope it's not, because if it is, we'll start shooting!)


Oh - here they come from the back in they 'llacs I'm checking for the gats they strap, so what's up, black?
Oh, here they come in their Cadillacs from behind. I'm checking to see if they have weapons - what's going on, my friend?


(Chill, let's hear the deal If it ain't up to what you feel then grab your steel)
(Relax, let's listen to the offer. If it's not acceptable, then take out your gun)


Right, so, what you motherfuckers gonna come at me with?
Ok, so what do you guys have in mind for me?


Hope you ain't wanting none of my grip
I hope you're not planning to rob me


'Cause you can save that shit (guess what they told me?)
Because I won't tolerate that (guess what they told me?)


"We give you 20 G's if you snitch on your homey We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush Oh yeah, but you got to sell dope for us."
"We'll give you $20,000 if you inform on your friend. We'll put you in a nice place and give you a good life, but you'll have to sell drugs for us."


Hmmm, let me think about it Turned my back and grabbed my gat
Let me consider the offer. I turned around and took out my gun


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!"
And here's what I said before I fired: "If you don't quit, if you don't stop, I'm going to shoot you, because you're an undercover cop and I won't be caught!"
