Dogs
KOOL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cant sort my head
Stuck in my bed
Want rid of this dread
Wish I was dead
Lost in the fog
Me and my black dog
It's a constant fight
To find the light
Life's so flat
Cant be bothered with that
Do it tomorrow cause delay
Whatever it takes to avoid today
Lost in the fog
Me and my black dog
It's a constant fight
To find the light
Need an antidote
Found it in a sick note
Not feeling well
Trapped in this hell
Lost in the fog
Me and my black dog
It's a constant fight
To find the light
When they made me they broke the mold
Never warm always cold
Never gonna live high on the hog
Just me alone with my black dog
My black dog
My black dog




My black dog
My black dog

Overall Meaning

The song "Dogs" by KOOL G RAP tells the story of a day in the life of the rapper. The first verse starts with an aggressive warning to someone trying to push him around but then shifts to a more relaxed mood where he describes lounging in his house smoking marijuana and watching Larry King Live. The tranquil mood is interrupted by a phone call reporting that someone had been stabbed in a fight near his house. The victim was the son of a man who worked at a car dealership, and the perpetrators had stolen his Louis Vuitton bag. KOOL G RAP decides to intervene and confronts the suspects, which results in a physical altercation where he injures his writing hand. Later in the song, he talks about a friend of his, who is a well-known gunslinger, who accidentally shoots himself in the groin while dancing with a gun.


The song is a gritty portrayal of life in the inner city, where violence and crime are an everyday occurrence. KOOL G RAP's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where people are constantly on edge and violence can erupt at any moment. Despite the grim subject matter, the song is still an impressive display of lyrical skill, with KOOL G RAP's flow and wordplay impressing even the most discerning hip hop fans.
