Snoop Dogg Lyrics

(LBC, New Orleans ha ha) Yo dog, uh
Snoop Dogg and Master P are greeting each other and representing their respective cities of LBC and New Orleans.

(Ha ha) That's some real shit where the hot boys at, Where the hot girls at [Repeat: x6] Ya heard me? [Repeat: x2]
Master P is asking where the attractive people are while emphasizing the importance of realness and confirming if the listener understands.

The game is to be sold not to be told, ha ha Now this No Limit shit, No Limit nigga Everybody want to know how this shit happens, but we ain't playa hatin' And what's goin' on, but ya know what? It don't get no realer than this though dog
Master P emphasizes that the game is about making money, not giving away knowledge for free. He is proud of No Limit's success and is not envious of others. He concludes by stating that what they are doing is as real as it gets.

[Chorus: x2] West-side niggas gettin' bout it, I said East-side niggas gettin' rowdy, Mid-west niggas gettin' bout it, South-side niggas gettin' rowdy, (yeah)
The chorus repeats that people all over the country are getting excited and aggressive.

Fuck that man,da game is to be sold, not to be told, 1st things 1st I'm a gangsta, nigga, so I'm a roll Ya got to get bout it or without it
Snoop Dogg agrees with Master P's earlier point, emphasizing that he is a gangster and only focuses on making money. He challenges the listener to either join the hustle or stay out of it.

I had to shake the spot cause the game got crowded I'm devoted and quote it, I'm rowdy and bout it A No Limit Soldier, and happy to shout it Got this tank on my neck, got my tech. on deck
Snoop Dogg explains that he had to leave his old neighborhood because too many people were trying to get involved. He identifies as a member of No Limit and as someone who is committed to being violent if necessary. He also boasts about his gold chain and weapon.

I slap raps at your caps and try to make my snaps Nick-Nack patty-wack big happy sack, the dealer is back And I'm ridin' through your neighborhood dippin' in my Cadillac I'm sellin' this shit, I ain't tellin' this shit
Snoop Dogg brags about his rapping skills and selling drugs. He references a nursery rhyme to add to his playful tone and says he is driving around in a Cadillac to assert his success. He clarifies that he won't talk about his illegal activities, only sell them.

I'm a mutha fuckin 2-time felon ya bitch From the cold hearted streets of the LBC To a mansion in the south down the street from my nigga P See, real niggas recognize the realness
Snoop Dogg boasts about his criminal record and how he came from a tough area but has made it big. He mentions his close relationship with Master P and says that real people know who is also real.

Snoop Dogg challenges the listener to raise their guns if they agree with him. He fires two gunshots and tells people who want trouble that they can find it. He name-drops his gang, DPG, and the producers who worked on the song. He indicates that they have arrived and are ready to make a scene.

(Gettin rowdy) Everybody in the game, say the same Is Snoop's still that gang bang cocaine nigga slangin' everything I'm tryin' to get as much as I need While I fuck with these out of town hoes blowin' all they weed (shut up)
Master P emphasizes that everyone in the game shares the same mindset. Snoop Dogg confirms that he is still a drug dealer and is sexually active with out of town women. He tells anyone who disagrees with him to shut up.

Parlayin', so what you sayin' Bring a couple buddies wit you, girl we ain't playin' Baby must miss read me, cause she miss lead me Has some niggas come by later (what?) and try to spray me (bitch)
Snoop Dogg uses gambling terminology to explain that he is hanging out with friends and not interested in games. He accuses a woman of giving him false impressions and reveals that some men tried to kill him.

But I'm just to quick, slick and sly When it's time to ride I let the bullets fly cause it's do or die(die die...) I wear blue 7 days out the week (for life) I mob the street, DP, while I'm holdin my heat
Snoop Dogg suggests he is too skilled and agile to be killed. He sings that he wears blue clothing every day to represent his gang. He mentions again that he is holding a weapon while walking around town.

I want to warn you, shit they got killers on the East, Mid-West, up North, down South in California So if you got your chrome, you need to stay in the zone And get a vest for your mutha fuckin dome
Snoop Dogg warns the listener that people are violent all over the country, including his state of California. He advises anyone with a gun to stay alert and wear a bulletproof hat.

'Cause it's on like a dog with out his bone I'm in it to win it and No Limit is my home (for life for life) Nigga, real niggas recognize the realness Put ya motherfuckin' choppers up if ya feel this
