[Snoop Dogg + Cop]

Hit this motherfucker, G

No, naw, man, I can't fuck with that

Aw, man, I been dealin' with you for three motherfuckin' months

You ain't hit the pipe in front of me yet!

So, what you sayin'?

I think you 5-0!

5-0? Man, I ain't no motherfuckin' cop!

Well, hit this motherfucker then

(Lights pipe)

I can feel it!

[Dr. Dre + (Snoop Doggy Dogg)]

Tonight's the night I get in some shit

Deep Cover on the incognito tip

Killin' motherfuckers if I have to, peelin' caps too

'Cause you niggas know I'm comin' at you

I guess that's part of the game

But I feel for the nigga who think he just gonna come and change thangs, with the swiftness

So get it right with the quickness

And let me handle my business, yo

I'm on a mission, and my mission won't stop

Until I get the nigga maxin' at the top

(I hope you get his ass 'fore he drop)

Kingpin kickin' back while his workers slang his rocks

Comin' up like a fat rat

Big money, big cars, big bodyguards on his back

So it's difficult to get him

(But I got the hook up with somebody

Who knows how to get in contact with him)

Hit him like this and like that

Let him know that I'm lookin' for a big fat dope sack

With ends to spend, so let's rush it

If you want to handle it tonight, we'll discuss it

On a nigga's time, and a nigga's place

Take my strap just in case one of his boys recognize my face

'Cause he's a sheisty motherfucker

But I gives a fuck, 'cause I'm goin' Deep Cover

[Dr. Dre + Snoop Dogg]

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

[Snoop Dogg + (Dr. Dre)]

Creep with me as I crawl through the hood

Maniac, lunatic, call him Snoop Eastwood

Kickin' dust as I bust, fuck peace

And the motherfuckin' punk police

You already know I gives a fuck about a cop

So why in the fuck would you think that it would stop?

Plot, yeah, that's what we's about to do

Take yo' ass on a mission with the boys in blue

Dre! (What up, Snoop?) Yo, I got the feelin'

Tonight's the night, like Betty Wright, and I'm chillin'

Killin', feelin' no remorse

Yeah, so let's go straight to the motherfuckin' source

And see what we can find

Crooked-ass cops that be gettin' niggas a gang of time

And now they wanna make a deal with me

Scoop me up and put me on they team and chill with me

And make my pockets bigger

They want to meet with me tonight

At seven o'clock (So, what's up, nigga?)

What you wanna do? (What you wanna do?)

I got the gauge, a Uzi, and my motherfuckin' twenty-two

So, if you wanna blast, nigga, we can buck 'em

If we stick 'em, then we struck 'em, so fuck 'em!

(I can feel it!)

[Dr. Dre + Snoop Dogg]

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

[Snoop Dogg + (Dr. Dre)]

Six-fo'-five was the time on the clock

When me and my homie belled in the parkin' lot

The scene looked strange and it felt like a setup

(Better not be, 'cause if it is, they gettin' lit up!)

Oh, here they come from the back in they 'llacs

I'm checkin' for the gats they strap, so what's up, black?

(Chill, let's hear the deal

If it ain't up to what you feel, then grab your steel)

Right, so, what you motherfuckers gonna come at me with?

Hope you ain't wantin' none of my grip

'Cause you can save that shit (Guess what they told me?)

We give you 20 G's if you snitch on your homie

We'll put you in a home, and make your life plush

Oh, yeah, but you got to sell dope for us

Hmmm, let me think about it

Turned my back and grabbed my gat

And guess what I told him before I shot it

If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't stop, yeah

I'm lettin' my gat pop, 'cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop!

[Dr. Dre + Snoop Dogg]

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop

Yeah, and you don't stop

'Cause it's 1-8-7 on a undercover cop
