[Ryu:]
Hmmm.
Ya, It's Megadef
What you know bout Chepshots
Ya (Ya), Yo (Yo)
What you know about Tak (Tak)
What you know about Ryu (Faggot)
What You know about this huh (ahhhhh)

[Tak:]
Another half ass hit out now
We used to chill till the mother f (Screech) did our style
It's kinda funny how
You and your friends of small towns
Act like got something big, to drawn down, silly
Prolly confuse serve it up to shock
Cause when you rhyme you sound like bolt combust combine
Don't act like you don't know
You and your crew couldn't hold it down solo
Your full of poop, so I'm a scoop the fecies and put it in a pamper
Let it drag and any time you call I won't answer
Won't get a cab and ride for free
You a little kitten that shouldn't of climbed the tree
Now your stuck with the truth, till we dig up the bones
I feel pregnant, birth to my visible clones
So for nine months I'm back rap, watch them grow
With your back pack clown you sound sloppy though, c'mon

[Chorus:]
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog

[Ryu:]
Listen Up Faggot! (Ahhhhhhhhh!)
Knock, knock come off the damn platinum
Stab back and drop the plaque, pop, pop
So cock the magnum
Walk, walk blow shots off at random
While you with Tak
We don't stop the anthem, get my flow back
Low jack, phone tap punk the Pink Panther
Give me a sol clap, click clack, rip that
Snap necks quicker then Kit-Kats
Knick-Knack paddy whack pistol whip, pump the jams up
Wild west SOB's shit's bonanza
Who the fuck wants it
Spits guitar picks
Slit you neck with a Bic razor across it, uh
Knock the bitch lead singer unconscious
No pets, so don't step, watch the dog shit

[Chorus:]
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog

[Tak:]
Signed a bad deal with a weak video
Maybe if I asked then I wouldn't need serial
Wouldn't have to beg anybody for shit
Specially to play me like I'm some kind of a bitch
Every other day people just want to swallow my spit
Like I'm a plunger just lunge into the domino kits
And promoters with the fat heads
You and your chick friends
You don't even know what rap is, you trippin'
47 boots on the chin and I'm marquee
Any niggers heads spinnin' words out of my three
Hardiness skill, I'll be a thrill, something that ain't real it's obvious still
So for the hell of it we dropped another album
Shock every freak, artificial intelligence
From popped pills get the mag-in-um click
Reload if necessary just to handle the kick, bitch

[Chorus:]
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog
Now I Wanna Be You Dog





Now I wanna be your hip-hop nerd

Overall Meaning

The song "Be Your Dog" by Styles of Beyond is a rap song that delves into the theme of jealousy and envy in the music industry. The song begins with Ryu introducing himself and his bandmates, then TaK insults someone who seems to have copied their style. TaK emphasizes that this person is not capable of rhyming solo and is full of lies. TaK then switches up the topic to talk about bad deals and weak videos, stating that he doesn't want to beg anybody for anything, specifically to be played like a woman. TaK finally admits to being the best in the game and that he wants to be heard, respected and acknowledged.


The chorus is a repetition of "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog," which is originally by The Stooges. The phrase means that the singer wants to be viewed in a lower position than the person they are talking about. Ryu and TaK see themselves as superior and possess great skill in the rap game. They want to "be the dog" of someone who they deem inferior in the music industry. The song ends with Ryu wanting to be a hip-hop nerd, which can be interpreted as him wanting to be considered a knowledgeable and passionate fan of the genre.
