Lyrics

Man's Best Friend

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Verse one:

Here's another topic I'm addressing,

so learn a quick lesson, about your Smith and Wesson.

Sit your ass back and comprehend,

as I let you know about man's best friend.

Now remember, it used to be a dog like Lassie,

but now in '91 it's a gun if you ask me.

Just like a jimmy hat's used for protection,

I use my nine when suckers start to flex it.

'Cause if you run up and try to play mine,

I rather have a AK than a fucking K9.

'Cause if you shot your gun and my dog tries to fetch ya,

me and the dog's going out on a stretcher.

And I ain't with that, so I gotta get that

big black gat, aim and I hit that.

Forget about a dog fool, he'll shit in the (??),

nowadays, a gat is man's best friend.

man's best friend

Verse two:

Here is the reason why Ice Cube's packed,

just in case the little punks try to jack.

I can't put a motherfucking pitbull under a coat,

and a small on my back.

So I gotta take my beret off, and I betcha

It'll probably work a 100 percent better.

'Cause it'll keep me out of danger,

with sixteen in the clip and one in the chamber.

So this goes to all y'all intruders,

beware of the owner, 'cause the owner is a shooter.

I don't just wanna give your ass rabies,

I rather have your ass pushing up daisies.

And I can't do that with Benji,

Rin Tin Tin, or Spotch McKinsey

Forget about a dog fool, he'll shit in the (??),

nowadays, a gat is man's best friend.

"Just don't let me see you shoot no dogs"

"Hey, I got shots fired here, send me another unit"

"The profile of a typical American gun owner is this:

over thirty, white, male, middle class" --> Peter Jennings

"take that motherfuckers"
