Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(This is dedicated to)
WHAT
(This is dedicated to)
The streets
(This is dedicated to)
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Uh, COME ON
[Verse 3]
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(It's just D and the dog is out)
COME ON, COME ON
[Verse 4]
I started getting a lil' too big for the cage that I'd been trapped in
Cats knew it was a problem, went from robbing to rapping
Guns got to clapping, another trip to the morgue
But we all know why it's happening, another bit by the dog
When there's nothing left to eat, I eat away at my soul
Felt destructive, 'cause I don't give a fuck if I go
I know y'all been told I don't give a fuck about living
Killing other dogs, catching cats, chasing bitches
Got the itching that bring back the beast from within
What I catch, I'ma eat, in the streets, I'ma win
I've been top dog, and I'm gon' stay top dog
So what the fuck you got to say, dog?
You cats play games that dog ain't with
Suck my dick, behind my back, dog ain't shit
Well, this is it, from now on, if you ain't out the camp
We out the fifth, put 'em up against the champ, you bitch
[Verse 5]
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(It's just D and the dog is out)
COME ON, COME ON
[Verse 6]
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(It's just D and the dog is out)
COME ON, COME ON
[Verse 7]
I don't think you cats see too clearly
If it ain't that, you must be deaf, 'cause y'all **** don't hear me
But I know I got you scared to death
How many other **** you know when you see 'em make you hold your breath?
All a **** did was take a pause
Did a couple of movies, and you thought this whole rap shit was yours?
Stop being greedy, when was the last time you gave to the needy?
Believe me, I run through **** like
Hallways with the cops behind
Give it to a **** all day 'cause I pops the nine
Man, listen, if you cats don't wanna see your man missing, man, listen
I get dough like a **** in a up north flick
And still roll like a **** on some up north shit
The way dog flip out, cats'll never understand
**** be like, X, I thought I was your man
Not
[Verse 8]
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
It's just D and the dog is out
COME ON, COME ON
[Verse 9]
(This is dedicated to)
WHAT
(This is dedicated to)
The streets
(This is dedicated to)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
COME ON
[Verse 10]
My dogs is dogs that love to brawl
Bring as many as you got 'cause we gon' fuck 'em all
Dicks sucked in the hall
The same shorty that's putting in work on her knees
I'm ducking her call
A dog is a dog is a dog for life
Dog been a dog, dogging your wife
I got kids his age
But let him keep talking slick and I'm gon' put something hot up in his ribcage
Fucking faggot
[Verse 11]
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(It's just D and the dog is out)
COME ON, COME ON
[Verse 12]
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(And the dog is out)
AR-AR, AR, AR
(It's just D and the dog is out)
COME ON, COME ON
[Verse 13]
(And the dog is out)
(And the dog is out)
(And the dog is out)
(It's just D and the dog is out)
[Verse 14]
When the dog is out
Bitch ass **** get bit or fucked
One of the two
And I'm not Ja Rule, feel me?
Alright
[Verse 15]
(And the dog is out)
(And the dog is out)
(And the dog is out)
(It's just D and the dog is out)
