Yeah, aww yeah, Heavy D, Dogg Pound

Herb McGruff, no doubt

Ladies and gentlemen, Dat Nigga Daz

[Daz]

Who you are son, blow you away to smithereens

At war like 50 marines against the Phillipines

What a team we are, my vision only runs far

Beyond the moon, Jupiter, Mars, the stars

{?} when I speak, watch out when the homey creep

Verbally you heard my name throughout the street

Watch out where you hang homey, be careful where you hang out

No doubt, I'm about my cash, and all about my clout

[Heavy D]

Yeah now speak on it, cousin who want it, talk to me

Heav' Diggy, niggy be jiggy, Gruff you wit me? (yeah)

L.B.C., N.Y.C., D.P.G., Heavy D

All up in yo' frame, Pretty Tone type game, now listen

I know this sunny who be lifty off Henny

Lovin be good'n'plenty, when she sippin on Remy

Not many like me, I like when you do, what you do

to excite me, it's all about you, then it's all about you

[Kurupt]

Since you our love child, the stallion of style

You live foul when on the prowl I kidnap the crowd

The raw rough, rugged enough to call bluffs

Ladies try lockin niggaz down like cuffs

It's off the heezy, girl I like my hair peasy

(Touch me, tease me) Girl take it easy

I hits the spizzy with Heav' Dizzy and Young Daz

You're too young to last wit'cha pretty young ass

[Chorus]

Just thought I'd let you know what you're feeling babe

Can you handle it - can you handle it?

Do you know what you're dealing with?

Can you handle it - can you handle it?

[Herb McGruff]

Yeah, yo knick knack paddywhack give a Dogg a Pound

Glass of champagne, mix some hydro with brown

Lyrical outlaw, write my rhymes southpaw

Poppin shit, niggaz get punched in they mouth for

McGruff the Crime Hound, droppin the nine sound

From New York to out of town be knockin them dimes down

This is how we do it in the N.Y.C.

All we really love is controversy

[Heavy D]

I heard you plottin on my pockets

All this barbershop talk y'all be doin, niggaz stop it

You ain't hurtin nuttin you frontin, runnin 'round here like you real

Then tell me how you feel when you get yo' cap pealed

(You know the deal) Why you wanna front on me?

This ain't nuttin new to me, nuttin you can do me

Shorties dey be true to me, this big fella, high yellow complexion

East coast, West coast connection

[Chorus]

[Kurupt]

I'm just - posted, toastin up, sippin on a shake

All the moves you make, e'ry step you take

Get you all alone and bend you 'til you break

Wait then give you back to the cat in the cake

Nah I ain't a sucker, I'm all about my papes

Just cause you caught the vapes and tryin to hang like drapes

Mess around and get your feelings crushed like grapes

I give it all it takes to shake just like quakes

[Herb McGruff]

Herb McGruff, Heav' D, Dogg Pound creation

Bet'chu this sound here gon' bump around the nation

Hear it on your radio station

Turn up your stereos, keep your blunts blazin - amazin

One love to the Harlem Foundation

We be gettin down, you can tell my town nathin

about money makin, tired of all these clown niggaz fakin

Uptown and Dogg Pound will keep the ground shakin

[Heavy D]

This is how we roll when I'm comin through ya town

You lovin how it sound, cause we be gettin down

You can find me at the bar, puffin on cigar

Preferably Cuban or, sippin Evian

he the Don - the Don, officially

All the honies want me when they see me initially

One by one I take 'em all individually

And if it's goin down then we doin it collectively

[Chorus]
