Dogs
Pink Floyd & D.J. Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I been I been I been back and forth with this shit
Back and back and back and back and forth with my bitch
I been thinking should I even really really give a shit
Staying focused on the goals I aint stopping till they hit (Hey)
Got the cold soul now gotta slow down
Giving trust to these birds they can be so fowl
I been sitting up all night on my OVO owl
Making songs hoping they hit like a ugly bitch profile
Picture that take your snaps make sure the flash on
Cuz ima black on these niggas who don't really know how to rap
When they see the white light, they gone know where they at
Where we coming from the poconos i was just a Lil kid a Lil youngin yo
When I heard my first rap song that would make me go whoa
Hey no what was that play that track again Run it back and like a running back im on That track again (Zeke)
I been I been I been back and forth with this shit
Back and back and back and back and forth with my bitch
I been thinking should I even really really give a shit
Staying focused on the goals I ain't stopping till they hit (Hey)
Dog eat dog world and these bitches hungry
Dog eat dog world they coming for your money
Dog eat dog world ain't never ever sunny if they coming for me I hope they don't get Lucky
Dreams of benzes rari enzos GTR just to play with
So my friend drove that's not what drives me to make this bankroll
Tryna spread green like the amazon have money like Bezos
How prime wud it be to buy my mom a home
Buy up some real estate where the fam can Rome
This wasn't built in a day man my shit classic, Like Brooklyn brownstones this was built To last bitch
It started with the passion then came the skill all the uphill battles
That test your will should you spit the sick shit do they still find it ill
Should I go underground or have some mass appeal (Nasir!)
I been I been I been back and forth with this shit
Back and back and back and back and forth with my bitch




I been thinking should I even really really give a shit
Staying focused on the goals I ain't stopping till they hit (Hey)

Remember back in the 1970’s when FM radio stations ACTUALLY DID play album cuts like this? And you knew 1,000 other people were simultaneously listening to it, too? So cool. So very cool. This is a great scene from a great TV show.

ken barton

Songs like 'Ogre Battle' from Queen II got regular airplay.

Craig McLean

Yep; stations like Seattle's KZOK and KISW would play entire cuts, and occasionally whole sides of an album; often I would hear Pink Floys's "Dark Side of the Moon"!

Topcat43 Truffles

WNEW-FM 102.7. Scott Muni, Allison Steele…
can’t imagine a better radio station to grow up listening to.
Even better, because it was NYC…
getting to see so many of the legendary bands.
Those were the days…👍🏻❤️🍻😎

Some FM stations do things they call "Deep Cuts" where they play an album side, or some play albums from Midnight to 6 am on Saturday nights

“As God as my witness; I thought turkeys could fly.” Still the greatest line in television history.
