Shoobedoop de doop de doop doo, doo
Mobbin' today, hey

Hit the freeway in a 850 goin' about a hundred and forty, sporty
Niggas slowin' down as if they know me
Owe me a Chronic session but I keep on mobbin' I got my own
Fiendin' goin' to the zone, rollin' up I see a Vega loan
Watchin' out for the po-po cause the gangsta braise alert the coppers
Smokin' under them choppers O.G.'s see me and give me propers
They say what up to the Easy Bay Gangsta each and every time
As I took my hat and light my Chronic up in the sunshine
I gets my mobb on just like all you other players
Lookin' out for dead Presidents who want that green paper
Put out my doobie as I mobb up off the freeway
I'm goin' side-a-ways, this way, that-a-way
I see my partners up in the alley fightin' they pit bulls
High performance, old schools, with fat dulls
Catch me cussin' at the cluckers on the street
Tryin' to stop myself from pullin' out my heat, I'm mobbin' today

Shoobedoop de doop de doop doo, doo

Mobbin' today, hey

Po-po passin' me up, lookin' all inside my car
It's full of smoke, rollin' down my window, they see me choke
And spit a loogie out on the street because I'm hella high
Rollin around, maddoggin with some Red Eye
Talkin' slow and show them about which way to go
Just hittin' corners, tryin' to find myself a liquor store
Hustlers slangin on the stow-front tryin' to make some ends
I'm gettin' deals on blunts from the Iranians
They know my face cause I comin' up at them every day
For some Hennessy and lemon squeeze a Alazay
Then I'm back on the streets drivin' through the track
See fools fresh out the Penn, killers from way back
Hoppin' out the hooptie chop it up with real ass O.G. homies
Jerk players only, cause ain't no time for fakes or phonies
Come catch a glimpse of a real player up in the Bay
Gotta get my pay okay, I'm mobbin' today

Shoobedoop de doop de doop doo, doo
Mobbin' today, hey
Shoobedoop de doop de doop doo, doo
Mobbin' today, hey
Shoobedoop de doop de doop doo, doo
Mobbin' today, hey
Shoobedoop de doop de doop doo, doo

Yeah I've seen up out there player,
Runnin' with a five hundred know what I'm sayin'?
Eight hundred and fifty, guard be, know I'm sayin', somethin proper,

Get your mobb on you know, you know what I'm sayin?
Or you can sweat these busters with their mean muggin',
