I be, I be that dog that gots to flow

That's why, that's why baby I gots to blow

And you, and you know it's straight from the gutter

Because, because it's gettin darker than a mother

Slow down, slow down partner you movin too quick

Oh now, oh now gotcha, your crew and them sick

What now, what now nigga, you feelin this shit?

But how, but how is this nigga killin this shit

Don't think, don't think that it couldn't happen again

Don't blink, don't blink cuz I put a (?) in your chin

Then what, then what niggas is gonna see you dead

For what, for what over some shit a bitch said

But why, but why did your life mean so liitle?

I tried, I tried but you got me caught up in the middle

This is, this is what it all comes down to

I did, I did what a nigga had to do, come on

Don't worry 'bout me

Cuz I'm a be the dog that I am, you know, D

The type of nigga that y'all niggas love when you see

So y'all, don't worry bout me, ya hear me?

What's up, what's up with that nigga they call D?

I am, I am what niggas is tryin to be

And will, and will continue to do my thing

They love, they love all that dark shit that I bring

Know why, know why? Cuz I keep it realer than you

You can't, you can't cuz of all the shit that you do

You know, you know just what I'm talkin about

You asked, you asked nothin bout runnin your mouth

A bitch, a bitch what you thought niggas couldn't tell?

You flipped, you flipped after two days in a cell

Good thing, good thing I knew what was on your mind

You sing, you sing but you still gon do your time

No bail, no bail cuz they don't believe your story

Oh well, oh well guess you gon do that forty

I'm here, I'm here still gettin platinum plaques

You there, you there still tryin to watch your back
