Lil ½ Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's when I first came an O.B.G
The set that I claim was the L.B.C
And none of these niggas couldn't see H.D (why's that)
'Cause I got it going on
I'm flocking new bitches and my paper is low (like what)
Like the beach and the city I'm from
Off the dick, so take an lick
And hurry up and get out of my face you trick ass bitch
'Cause I don't give an fuck about a hoe
Even though I got in the game in 94'
I still got it going on and I bust an gain bitches because my game is strong
And hoes be clocking me, straight jocking me
In the party even if I'm with somebody
Why should a nigga ever try to be
So mother fucking fresh and fly as me
And why should a bitch should ever lie to me
That gangsta ass nigga name young H.D
[Chorus 2x]
Young H.D why is he such an old B.G.E
Now H.D Dogg is an mack you see
I been on a mission since 83'
The city that I well is the L.B.C
H.D Dogg will stay an G
Be on a mission clocking ends and shit
And he be on the mission try to check an bitch
He be on the mission try to straight get paid
He be on the mission and try to have it made
So I could live like the rest of them
And when it's time to floss, I'm with the best of them
Living lavage and straight be clocking ends and shit
Cause I'm going to keep going and it just want quit, shit
I'm going to stay fly to I die and every single day I straight get high
Off drank or maybe even off of some bomb ass weed
Why should I be an O.B.G?
[Chorus: x2]
I beat you down like an boxer
Got your girl and rocked her
Never ever jocked her, she talk shit I socked her
All in her mouth cause I got some much class
If their a party in her house I'm turning it out (that's right)
That nigga H.D in the place to be
and I'm still see walking on 21 street
It's me the little nigga that would never drop
Playing keys and cavi and just won't stop
Clocking fat ass knots and I got four stops
'Cause I got three glocks in case you want to get shot
It's hot in the spot where I slangs my dope
Don't coming around tripping we ain't no joke lock
You gets smoke like an fat ass joint
And right about now you reach the turning point
In your life for fucking with me
And why should I be an O.B.G?
[Chorus: x4 ]

It all started back in 83'
The beginning of my story, which was in the year 1983
It's when I first came an O.B.G
I became an Original Baby Gangsta around that time
The set that I claim was the L.B.C
The gang or neighborhood that I belong to is Long Beach, California
And none of these niggas couldn't see H.D (why's that)
Nobody could compare to me or my skills as a gangsta (and the reason for that is…)
'Cause I got it going on
Because I am attractive and successful in my gangsta lifestyle
I'm flocking new bitches and my paper is low (like what)
I am attracting many new women even though I have little money (similarly to…)
Like the beach and the city I'm from
Just like how the sandy beach meets the city of Long Beach, my life is a blend of multiple aspects
And H.D dogg getting bitches sprung (off what)
And I, H.D Dogg, am attracting many women to fall in love with me (because of…)
Off the dick, so take an lick
Because of my sexual prowess, women want to perform oral sex on me
And hurry up and get out of my face you trick ass bitch
So if you are a woman who is not willing to perform such deeds on me, then you better leave me alone
'Cause I don't give an fuck about a hoe
I am not emotionally attached to any women in my life
Even though I got in the game in 94'
Even though I started living the gangsta lifestyle in 1994
I still got it going on and I bust an gain bitches because my game is strong
But I am still attractive and successful in my gangsta lifestyle because of my strong character and skills in the game of life
And hoes be clocking me, straight jocking me
Many women are paying attention to me and want to be with me (just like how…)
In the party even if I'm with somebody
In social gatherings or clubs, even if I am accompanying someone else
Why should a nigga ever try to be
What's the point of another man trying to be like me in my lifestyle?
So mother fucking fresh and fly as me
So charming and attractive in a way that I am
And why should a bitch should ever lie to me
Why should any woman ever betray my trust or lie to me?
That gangsta ass nigga name young H.D
A man who is a gangsta like me, and his name is Young H.D.
Now H.D Dogg is an mack you see
Currently, I, H.D Dogg, am a smooth-talking and seductive man in the game of love
I been on a mission since 83'
I have been living my gangsta lifestyle with a purpose since 1983
The city that I well is the L.B.C
The city I am familiar with is Long Beach, California
H.D Dogg will stay an G
I, H.D Dogg, will always remain a gangsta
Be on a mission clocking ends and shit
My mission is to accumulate wealth and other materialistic possessions
And he be on the mission try to check an bitch
And when it comes to women, I am always on the lookout for new opportunities
He be on the mission try to straight get paid
I am always trying to earn more money through various means
He be on the mission and try to have it made
I am always striving for success and a better life
So I could live like the rest of them
So that I could live a life similar to those who are successful and wealthy
And when it's time to floss, I'm with the best of them
When it's time to showcase my wealth and materialistic possessions, I am among the best in the game
Living lavage and straight be clocking ends and shit
Living a luxurious lifestyle while also acquiring more wealth and other materialistic possessions
Cause I'm going to keep going and it just want quit, shit
I am going to keep striving for success and wealth until the end, no matter what obstacles come in my way
I'm going to stay fly to I die and every single day I straight get high
I am going to maintain my attractiveness and charm until I die, and I also consume drugs on a daily basis
Off drank or maybe even off of some bomb ass weed
I consume alcohol or marijuana, which is of high quality and potency
Why should I be an O.B.G?
Why should I remain an Original Baby Gangsta when I could be much more than that?
I beat you down like an boxer
I will beat you up as if I am a professional boxer
Got your girl and rocked her
I took your girlfriend and made love to her passionately
Never ever jocked her, she talk shit I socked her
I never tried to control her, but when she says insults, I hit her
All in her mouth cause I got some much class
I ejaculated inside her mouth because I am a classy man
If their a party in her house I'm turning it out (that's right)
If I am in a party at her house, I will make sure it's the best party ever (just like how…)
That nigga H.D in the place to be
It's me, the gangsta H.D Dogg, who is present in this party or gathering
and I'm still see walking on 21 street
I am still the same person who walks down 21st street like I used to when I wasn't famous or wealthy
It's me the little nigga that would never drop
It's me, the small and insignificant nigga, who will never give up in life
Playing keys and cavi and just won't stop
I am enjoying the luxuries of life, such as playing keyboards and eating caviar, and I will never stop
Clocking fat ass knots and I got four stops
I am accumulating a lot of money and I have four different ways of keeping it safe
'Cause I got three glocks in case you want to get shot
I carry three guns in case someone tries to attack me
It's hot in the spot where I slangs my dope
The location where I sell my drugs is very dangerous and risky
Don't coming around tripping we ain't no joke lock
Don't come around acting tough because we are serious and we will retaliate
You gets smoke like an fat ass joint
You will get smoked or killed just like a fat joint would be burned down
And right about now you reach the turning point
And now, you have reached the point of no return
In your life for fucking with me
In your life, you made a mistake when you messed with me
And why should I be an O.B.G?
Why should I remain an Original Baby Gangsta when I could be much more than that?
