Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naw man, I can't fuck with that.
Man, I've been dealin' with you
for three mothafuckin' months and you ain't hit the pipe in front me yet.
So wat u sayin?
I think you 5-0.
5-0? Man, I ain't no muthafuckin' cop.
Well hit this muthafucker then.
Tonight's the night I get in some shit.
Yeah!
Deep cover on the incognito tip.
Killin' motherfuckers if I have to,
Peelin' caps too, 'cause you niggas know I'm comin' at you.
I guess thats part of the game,
But I feel for the nigga who thinks he just gonna come and chance 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 maxin' at the top.
I hope you get his ass before he drops.
Kingpin kickin back while his workers sling his rocks.
Coming up like a fat rat.
Big money, big cars, big body guards 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'll make it for a big fat dope sack
What is this pen? so let's rush it.
If you want to handle it tonight we'll discuss it
On the nigga's time, in the nigga's place,
Take a strap just in case one of his boys recognise 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 187 on an undercover cop.
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.
Creep with me as I crawl through the hood,
Maniac, lunatic, call 'em Snoop Eastwood
Kickin' dust as I bust fuck peace
And, the mothafuckin' drug 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 your ass on a mission with the boys in blue.
Dre.
What up Snoop?
yo I got the feelin'
Tonight's the night like Betty Wright, and I'm chillin'
Killin', feelin', no remorse, yeah
So lets go straight to the motherfuckin' source
And see what we can find
Crooked ass cops that be gettin' niggas a gang of times
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 7 o'clock.
So what's up nigga?
What you wanna do?
What you wanna do?
I got the gauge, a Uzi and the mothafuckin' 22
so if you wanna blast, nigga we can buck 'em
If we stick 'em then we suck 'em so fuck 'em!"
(I can feel it.)
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.
Six fo' five was the time on the clock,
When me and my homey bailed in the parking lot.
The scene looked strange and it felt like a set up.
Better not be, cause if it is, they're getting lit up.
Oh here they come from the back and they laxed.
I'm checkin' for the gats they strap, so whats up black?
Chill, lets hit a deal,
if it aint up to what you feel then grab your steel.
Right, so, what you motherfuckers gonna come at me with?
Hope you ain't wantin' none of my grip.
Cause you can save that shit.
Guess what they told me?
"We'll 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."
Hm, 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 lettin' my gat pop"
Cause it's 1-8-7 on an undercover cop.
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.
Yeah, and you don't stop.
'Cause it's 187 on an undercover cop.

Hit this mothafucka', G
I want you to smoke this crack pipe
Naw man, I can't fuck with that.
I don't want to smoke it
Man, I've been dealin' with you for three mothafuckin' months and you ain't hit the pipe in front me yet.
I think you might be a cop, otherwise you would have smoked crack with me by now
So wat u sayin?
Are you really a cop?
I think you 5-0.
I suspect that you are a police officer
5-0? Man, I ain't no muthafuckin' cop.
No, I am not a cop
Well hit this muthafucker then.
Okay, if you say so, I'll smoke crack
Tonight's the night I get in some shit.
I am about to do something dangerous
Deep cover on the incognito tip.
I am pretending to be someone else and trying to stay hidden
Killin' motherfuckers if I have to,
I am willing to kill if necessary
Peelin' caps too, 'cause you niggas know I'm comin' at you.
I will shoot you in the head if I need to
I guess that's part of the game,
Killing is just a normal thing to do in this line of work
But I feel for the nigga who thinks he just gonna come and chance things
I pity the fool who thinks he can challenge me
With the swiftness, so get it right, with the quickness,
I am very fast and efficient in my actions, so be careful
And let me handle my business, yo.
Let me do what I need to do
I'm on a mission and my mission won't stop
I have a goal and nothing will prevent me from achieving it
Until I get the nigga maxin' at the top.
I won't stop until I catch the boss at the very top
I hope you get his ass before he drops.
I hope I catch him before he dies or gets away
Kingpin kickin back while his workers sling his rocks.
The drug boss is relaxing while his employees sell his drugs
Coming up like a fat rat.
I am getting rich very quickly
Big money, big cars, big body guards on his back.
The boss has a lot of money and protection
So it's difficult to get him.
It's hard to catch him
But I got the hook up with somebody who knows how to get in contact with him.
I know someone who can help me get in touch with the boss
Hit him like this and like that,
I plan to catch him in this way and that way
Let 'em know that I'll make it for a big fat dope sack
I am planning to catch him for a large amount of drugs
What is this pen? so let's rush it.
What's the plan? Let's go and do it
If you want to handle it tonight we'll discuss it
If you're ready to take action tonight, we can talk about it
On the nigga's time, in the nigga's place,
We will do it on the boss's schedule and location
Take a strap just in case one of his boys recognise my face.
Bring a gun in case one of his associates recognizes me
Cause he's a sheisty motherfucker,
The boss is sneaky and difficult to deal with
But I gives a fuck, cause I'm going deep cover.
I don't care because I am undercover and they won't know it's me
Creep with me as I crawl through the hood,
Come with me as I sneak through the neighborhood
Maniac, lunatic, call 'em Snoop Eastwood
I am crazy like Clint Eastwood's movie characters
Kickin' dust as I bust fuck peace
I am causing chaos and disrupting the peace
And, the mothafuckin' drug police
The police officers that deal with drugs
You already know I gives a fuck about a cop
I don't care at all about the police
So why in the fuck would you think that it would stop
Why would you believe that I will stop
Plot, yeah, that's what we's about to do
We are about to make a plan
Take your ass on a mission with the boys in blue.
Come with us on a mission with the police officers
Dre.
Snoop's friend and collaborator Dr. Dre
What up Snoop?
Hey Snoop, what's going on?
yo I got the feelin'
I have a feeling about something
Tonight's the night like Betty Wright, and I'm chillin'
Tonight is the perfect night for doing something
Killin', feelin', no remorse, yeah
I will kill without feeling guilty
So lets go straight to the motherfuckin' source
Let's go directly to the people we need to talk to
And see what we can find
Let's investigate and see what information we can uncover
Crooked ass cops that be gettin' niggas a gang of times
Police officers who have arrested many people for crimes they did not commit
And now they wanna make a deal with me
The crooked cops want to make a deal with me
Scoop me up and put me on they team and chill with me
They want me to join their team and work with them
And make my pockets bigger
They are offering me money and other benefits to join them
They want to meet with me tonight at 7 o'clock.
They have arranged a meeting for tonight at 7 pm
So what's up nigga?
What do you think we should do?
What you wanna do?
What do you want to do?
I got the gauge, a Uzi and the mothafuckin' 22
I have guns and weapons that we can use
so if you wanna blast, nigga we can buck 'em
If you want to shoot them, we can do it
If we stick 'em then we suck 'em so fuck 'em!
If we beat them, we win and they lose
(I can feel it.)
(I have a strong sense about this)
Six fo' five was the time on the clock,
It was 6:05 pm
When me and my homey bailed in the parking lot.
When my friend and I arrived at the parking lot
The scene looked strange and it felt like a set up.
The area seemed suspicious and like it was a planned trap
Better not be, cause if it is, they're getting lit up.
If it is a trap, we will shoot them
Oh here they come from the back and they laxed.
Here they come from behind and they are not paying attention
I'm checkin' for the gats they strap, so whats up black?
I am looking for the guns they have, so what do you want to do?
Chill, lets hit a deal,
Relax, let's make an agreement
if it aint up to what you feel then grab your steel.
If it doesn't seem right to you, then get your gun ready
Right, so, what you motherfuckers gonna come at me with?
What are you planning to do to me?
Hope you ain't wantin' none of my grip.
I hope you're not planning to steal my money or drugs
Cause you can save that shit.
Don't even try it
Guess what they told me?
Guess what they said to me?
"We'll give you 20 G's if you snitch on your homey,
We will give you 20,000 dollars if you give information about your friend
We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush,
We will give you a fancy place to live and a comfortable life
Oh yeah, but you got to sell dope for us."
But you have to sell drugs for us if you accept this deal
Hm, let me think about it
Hmm, I need to consider this offer
Turned my back and grabbed my gat and guess what I told him before I shot it.
I turned around and grabbed my gun, and I said something to them before I started shooting
"If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't stop, yeah, I'm lettin' my gat pop"
"If you don't stop, I will start shooting"
Cause it's 1-8-7 on an undercover cop.
I had to shoot because the person was an undercover police officer
