Lyrics

[Intro]
Man, don't you know that I'm loco?
Mhm, hm
[Verse 1]
I was chillin' (Chillin') right around my way (Way)
21st, east side of the Beach
This lil' fool ran up on me
Poppin' off with his homies like he was a straight G
Askin' where I'm from while he runnin' up
Bang my set on e'ry one of 'em (20's, *****, 20's)
Some things, son, they just won't change
Fools don't respect nuttin' but to **** bang (Bang)
What's seen is what's saw, Dogg is the law
I'll have you suckas runnin' like a marathon
Lil' G's tryna creep on the ease with it
Talkin' 'bout they gon' get my chain and they gon' leave with it (Mm)
But they don't know once they get close
That's tic-tac-toe, three little G's laid on the floor (Watch out)
Yeah, this happened yesterday
On the West they *****, I heard a ese say, he said
[Chorus]
Vato, you won't believe what I saw
I saw this pack of guys and they act real hard (And what they do?)
They twist their fingers, say, "You know who we are"
He said, "I don't give a ****, I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg" (Uh-huh)
They keep talkin' and it went too far
So Snoopy, he went straight to the trunk of his car (And what he get?)
He got his *** and they start runnin' hard
He started ****** and then he just charged
[PostChorus]
(Blaow) Run (Run), run (Run)
(Blaow) Duck (Duck), duck (Duck)
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run (Run)
(Blaow) Duck (Duck), duck (Duck)
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
[Verse 2]
I didn't mean to hit what I hit
Now there's three wanna-bes dead and I ain't seen shh
And these suckas'll scream for plea
But for a G like me, it's just a case, really, you could see
I ***** the *** back and pop off rollin'
And snap ya neck back, ya drop off, fallin'
I haven't seen my mama in a week
And she ain't even ran her mouth about me
Bump that, I ain't give a **** about the law
****** say they wanna brawl, you would think that they were broads
Believin' all the things that you never saw
In it, y'all, been a Dogg, smoke you like a Menthol
You think you know? But this can't go
You think you'll blow on my dope? What the ****? No
See, these suckas proceed to speed
So feel the need to bleed, all you hear my enemies goin'
[Chorus]
Vato, you won't believe what I saw
I saw this pack of guys and they act real hard (And what they do?)
They twist their fingers, say, "You know who we are"
He said, "I don't give a ****, I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg" (Uh-huh)
They keep talkin' and it went too far
So Snoopy, he went straight to the trunk of his car (And what he get?)
He got his *** and they start runnin' hard
He started ****** and then he just charged
[PostChorus]
(Blaow) Run (Run), run (Run)
(Blaow) Duck (Duck), duck (Duck)
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run (Run)
(Blaow) Duck (Duck), duck (Duck)
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
[Verse 3]
I wouldn't be the G that I am
If I didn't pop suckas in they mouth, I'll be damned
And Snoop'll keep one foot on the streets
And leave 'em covered in sheets, run with the homies with the heat (Heat)
You never seen a thug like this
You never seen a dub like me
And I ain't weak for wanting peace
In fact, I could be "Beast of the East", ya lil' busta
I never hesitate to blaze (Blaze)
Look, I'm really tryna change my ways
I gotta move my team, 'cause my peoples
Is screamin' that we need more for fun or it's illegal
Ba-ba-bang on a song, make it feel like a drive-by (Drive-by)
It's a shame, but somebody gotta die (Die)
They say it happen state-to-state
But when I'm mobbin' L.A., all I hear the eses say, they go
[Chorus]
Vato, you won't believe what I saw
I saw this pack of guys and they act real hard (And what they do?)
They twist their fingers, say, "You know who we are"
He said, "I don't give a ****, I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg" (Uh-huh)
They keep talkin' and it went too far
So Snoopy, he went straight to the trunk of his car (And what he get?)
He got his *** and they start runnin' hard
He started ****** and then he just charged
[PostChorus]
(Blaow) Run (Run), run (Run)
(Blaow) Duck (Duck), duck (Duck)
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run (Run)
(Blaow) Duck (Duck), duck (Duck)
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
(Blaow) Run (Run), run
[Outro]
