My niggaz this is for my dogs, this is for my dogs

This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs

This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs

This is for my dogs my niggaz

My dogs the beginning of this bloodline of mine

That spark this in a niggaz heart and cause him to shine

Before the rhyme lessons that I keep in my mind

I owe you and I give my right hand to show you

Whether its fist or guns whatever it go to

Its me they go through if ever they want to

I'd light the flame, dead game and trying to scratch

K-A-S I know where my dogs is at

And I'm gonna be the one behind just to keep you on your toes

I be your extra eyes and hold you down around your foes

I be your extra gun you need me let me know

For my dogs I be the first to cock it back and let it go

They do it for the dough me I do it for the love

You my nigga to the death so I treat you like my blood

If push comes to shove and they try to send you back to the street

I give my last to put you back on your feet, feel me

This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs

This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs

This is for my dogs, this is for my dogs

This is for my dogs: my niggaz

You my dog nigga I die for

Shit bust a five for see the judge and lie for

You the type of nigga I throw weight up on the block for

Just go ahead and lock jaws and your half I got yours

Send in the dog I smell it all night

I told niggaz to shut up and write X barks with a hell of a bite

For the love they always will be till they kill me

I put my thugs on it and slide till I die on it

And to my motherfuckin dogs big ups to your first share

Niggaz know the deal just waitin for them plaques to get shipped

Do your thing nigga you know we got your back

Cause real dogs always return with food for the pack

Why these wack niggaz swingin when they gonna miss

Take it from me he was nice before all this

Yo X rain on em cause after that comes the blood

Ruff Ryders feed all they dogs wit raw blood

My people show love (what!) and haven't left me stranded yet

Though I have a death wish it ain't been granted yet

So until then I'm gonna be that nigga all up in your chest (come on!)

Until the lord decides to lay my ass down to rest

Bless my body at the funeral and hope I don't burn

Was a hard headed nigga and nope I don't learn

Saw the truth but chose to ignore it wasn't goin for it

My nigga had to give it to me (AHH!) then I saw it

This is clear as day I know here's the day

I'm gonna be on my way nothin more to say

But take me lord make me lord what you will

Really wanted to chill but learned how to kill

Been downhill from then on cause I been on

Some shit hit on every move to get ten on

The next sac but you know thats how X act

Thats why these street niggaz is waitin for the next track
