Ridin' Slipin' and Slidin'
Tha Dogg Pound Lyrics

Aww, shit, fuck
Exclamation marking the beginning of a brand new day on the streets

It's a brand new day in the hood
A new day full of opportunities to make money

It's money to make, and I'm doin' bad and it ain't lookin' good
I need the money, things are not going well for me

It's all about the you-know-what everywhere that I roll
Everywhere I go, it's all about the money

And I never leave empty-handed without packin' my chrome
I always carry my gun with me when I am out so that I can defend myself

If it's on, it's on, I put out my gangsta hand
If it comes to a confrontation, I make sure to let them know I'm ready to fight

Show and prove and began, put the jack down to chance
I prove myself rather than relying on luck; I take control of the situation so that it is in my favor

See I can put down like this, and you don't know why
I am confident in my ability to handle any situation, even if others don't know why

Niggas always would try but soon they all just die
Others might try to test me, but they won't succeed and will lose their lives

I didn't come up like Guy, won't put my biz in the street
I didn't get successful by talking about my business with others

All I can say is that the jack made my life complete
Money is the most important thing in my life right now and always will be

Fifty-four thousand, the cash he left with cheese and stips
I didn't find enough money for my needs, so I need to think of new ways to make money

But it still ain't enough, so what can I plot next?
I need more money and need to find ways to get it

An armored truck would be fine, as I come up from behind
I'll ambush an armored truck to get a lot of cash

Grab seven bags and fled, not wastin' no time
I grabbed as much as I could and didn't waste any time getting away

Coppers tailin' my ass, breathin' all down my back
The police are following me, and I'm in danger of getting caught

Now my Benz on the corner as I abandon the 'Llac
I left one car and ran to another that was parked nearby

Grab the satchel full of money, better Style crib
I take the money and take it to Style's house to hide it

I throw the money on the table say, "We back in biz"
I take all the money to my friends and tell them that we are ready to start again

I copped the biggest dope sack, then got my hood soaked up
I got the biggest drug stash and sold it to people in my neighborhood

Now everybody 'bout to make the bomb, sold uncut
Everyone will be making a lot of money because the drugs are pure and sold at a higher price

Ran out of dope, my situation's back where I left
I have no more drugs to sell, and my situation is back to where it was before

A voice quietly tellin' me, "You got to come up on some bread"
I hear a voice inside my head telling me to find a way to make money

Don't get it twisted for shit, see I be mashin' on my own mission
I am on my mission to make money, and I'm doing it my way

Never dreamin' or wishin' the money that I'm missin'
I don't dream of the money I'm missing; I go out and get it instead

I heard some niggas doubtin', clockin', rakin' in all the dough
Some people doubted me, but now they see that I am making a lot of money

And since I'm doin' bad I gotta jack for they dough
Since I am in a bad situation, I have to resort to stealing their money

Called my partners in crime, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and Style
I called my friends Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and Style to help me commit the crime

True soldiers from the Dogg Pound, puttin' it down
My friends and I are loyal to each other and will always be there for each other

Kick the door in with the gauge and fo'-fo' (don't move)
We kick the door down and threaten everyone inside with guns

Blast a couple of niggas as I style with all the dough
I kill some people who are trying to stop me as I take all the money

Five pounds of coke, two pounds of orange
We get a lot of cocaine and some other things

Now we baggin' it up, and smokin' all night long
We are bagging up the coke and smoking it all night long

I wanted to trip, then I didn't have no chips
I wanted to party, but I didn't have any money

And my pockets was short, and I started to trip
I didn't have any money and started to worry

To maintain wasn't a problem, stopped by my bitch house
I can easily maintain my lifestyle; I go to my girlfriend's house

She was poppin' with them sales, I don't play that shit (bitch)
She was selling drugs, but I don't want to be involved in that

And sold five hundred in cavi, barely happy today
I sold some drugs and made a little bit of money

Finna knock her out and my homie had to say (well)
I was thinking of ending things with my girlfriend, and my friend interrupted me

Well, I got me a plot on the West Side of town
I have a plan to rob someone on the West Side of town

With some mark-ass niggas from the other side (yeah, let's put it down)
With some easy targets who are not from around here, we can do this

Now Dogg Pound Gangstaz, true indeed, we see (mhm)
We are truly gangsters from the Dogg Pound that are capable of doing this

The layout down, as we proceed
As we advance, we have a plan of action

Two in the front, three in the back, I'm about to make niggas collapse
We split into two groups, and our goal is to defeat everyone there

Cocked back the strap two minutes before the jack
I am ready to use my gun a few minutes before starting the crime

Takes place, now we face to face and I'm in the mood
Now it's happening, and I'm ready to kill anyone who gets in our way

For a murder, so I'm all for the do-low and you know (what?)
I am willing to commit murder if it means getting the money

The chances, advances stages (that's right)
We take risks to move forward

Gauges and three-eighties, crazy, nigga shady (what?)
We have guns and will do anything to get the money

'Til I'm eighty, what I'ma do is mine for my loot
I'll be getting money until I am 80 years old

With the homies mash on a mission about quarter to two
I'm on a mission with my friends around 2 in the morning

When we arrive, I be the first nigga to dip
When we get there, I will be the first one to leave with the money

Straight to the front with all intentions to straight trip (nigga, Dogg Pound Gangstaz)
I go straight to where the money is and plan to take it with force

I gotta make my grip and I made my grip with the quickness
I need to get the money fast and do just that

Niggas hit a lick and got paid, bitch
We got the money, and now we are successful

I don't trust a bitch (take, take money, money)
I don't trust anyone, especially women, when it comes to money

So fuck a bitch (take money, money, money)
I don't care about women, I only care about making money

What's the function? (Makin' money)
The only function that matters is making money

What's the game? (Dogg Pound)
The game is doing whatever it takes to get ahead

All aboard (Death Row)
Everyone is ready to commit crimes together to make money

The cavi train (I'm ridin' high)
We're getting rich from selling drugs

All you busters (bus pass niggas)
Everyone who isn't making money is a worthless loser

Riding 'round (thinkin' you're hard and shit)
These people roam around, acting like they're tough

You don't wanna (straight up motherfuckers)
These people should be careful because we are dangerous

See Dogg Pound (I'm riding high) (Eastside 'til I die)
We are the Dogg Pound crew, and we will always be successful, living on the East side

(South Central and the D-P-G)
We are from South Central LA and part of the DPG crew

(I'm riding high)
We are very successful in making money and are living the life we want

Kurupt Tha Kingpin and Dat Nigga Daz (I'm riding high)
My friends Kurupt and Daz are with me and we are all enjoying our success

Sentrelle and the D-P-G (I'm riding high)
Sentrelle is also part of our crew and we are all enjoying our success together
