Putting It Down
Westside Cartel Lyrics

Dogg Pound Gangstas rip
Dogg Pound Gangstas are well-known for their strong and impactful presence

Word on tha streets, see it ain't nobodies business
There is important information circulating in the neighborhood that should be kept confidential

Secret to keep, so keep heat, in case things get deep
It is crucial to always be prepared for dangerous situations and keep weapons for self-defense

Peace box is where it starts, scarred flesh and broke hearts
The cycle of violence and pain originates from the neighborhood where people have experienced physical harm and emotional trauma

Since a kid, this is how we live
From a young age, this community has been exposed to a lifestyle characterized by crime and aggression

Ain't nuttin' to look forward to schools full of devils
The local schools are filled with troublemakers and negative influences, offering no promising future

The church don't work 'cuz all the lies
The religious institution has lost its credibility due to the constant deception and dishonesty of its followers

That they tell us, ya'll it'll be hell before we get there
The chances of reaching a better life seem impossible and distant, causing a sense of despair

Survivin' guns and drugs and see
Living in an environment plagued by firearms and narcotics, one must navigate through these dangers

If you can deal with this germ warfare that's endin' us
The ongoing battle with drug addiction and violence is like a contagious disease slowly destroying the community

They AntiChrist, I'm antifair, antivice
Referring to corrupt individuals as the opposite of a savior, while opposing any notion of justice or immoral behaviors

Antinice, antispice, up your life, I'll make you love it
Rejecting any facade of kindness or pleasantness while promising to introduce a lifestyle that others will eventually embrace

'Cuz it's real and you bump it 'cuz it's tight
The authenticity and quality of the music resonate with listeners, causing them to enjoy and appreciate it

Yeah, people make the world go 'round
Acknowledging the influence and impact individuals have on society as a whole

And it's a gang of us all gathered up in our game colors
A large group of people, unified by their association with a specific gang, wearing matching colors representing their affiliation

Man, these my gang brothas, what, you ain't heard of us
Expressing pride and camaraderie among fellow gang members, questioning the ignorance of those who are unfamiliar with their reputation

You ain't never ever heard the word, murderer's
Highlighting the notoriousness and fear surrounding their gang, emphasizing their involvement in criminal activities

We make the news what it is, you ask what is this
Their notorious actions and criminal behavior contribute to shaping the news headlines and capturing public attention

We the reason why the police in business
The constant criminal activity perpetrated by the gang members keeps the police force employed and active

So run up on us with your knife and your pistols
Challenging others to confront them with weapons, as they are confident in their ability to defend themselves

We'll plague your character with rifles and missils
If provoked, they will retaliate with powerful firearms, causing considerable damage to the reputation and well-being of their enemies

I dropped my pack and drove my back to the East Side
Leaving behind their burdens or troubles, they return to their neighborhood on the East Side

Smash in this coupe with my passenger Snoop

Get heat a chrome plate, a D from Tray Dee
