I was chilling, right around my way,

21st Eastside at a beach,

This motherfucker ran up on me,

Talking shit wit his homies like he was

A straight...

G!

Asking where I'm from while he running up, Gangbang my set'll nag one of them,

Some things, sons they just won't change,

Fools dont respect nothing but the gang bang,

What's seen is what's sawn, Dogg is the law, I hate you niggas running like a marathon, Lil G's tryna creep on the east wit it, Talking bout they gon get my chain and they gon leave with it.

But they dont know, once they get close its tic tac toe, 3 motherfuckers laid on the floor (Watch out), Yea this happened yesterday, on the West they Spray,

I Heard an Ese Say...

He said..

(Chorus)

Vato you won't believe what i saw,

I saw these pack a guys and they act real hard... (And what they do?)

They twisted fingers say you know who we are...

He said: I dont give a fuck I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg ... (Ah huh)

They kept fucking and it went too far,

So Snoopy he went straight to the trunk of his car (And what he get?), he got his gun and they start running hard, he started firing and then he just charged...

PLOW!!!

(2x)

Run Nigga, Run Nigga (Plow)

Duck Nigga, Duck Nigga (Plow)

Run Motherfucker, Run (Plow)

Run Motherfucker, Run (Plow)

I didn't mean to hit what I hit

Now that's 3 motherfuckers dead, and I ain't seen shit

But these niggas a scream wit plea but for like a G like me it's just a case

Believe and you can see

I crack the mac back and pop off rolling

And smack your neck back, you drop off falling

I haven't seen my mama in a week

And she ain't even ran her mouth about me

Fuck that I ain't give a fuck about the law

Niggas say they wanna brawl

You would think that they wore bra's

Believe in all the things that you never saw

In it y'all, been a Dogg, smoke you like a menathol

You think you know? But this can't go

You think you'll blow, all my dough?

What the fuck, no

See these niggas proceed with speed

So feel the need to bleed

All you hear my enemies going

(Chorus)

Vato you won't believe what they saw,

I saw these pack a guys and they act real hard... (And what they do?)

They twisted fingers say you know who we are...

He said: I dont give a fuck I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg ... (Ah huh)

They kept fucking and it went too far,

So Snoopy he went straight to the trunk of his car (And what he get?), he got his gun and they start running hard, he started firing and then he just charged...

PLOW!!!

(2x)

Run Nigga, Run Nigga (Plow)

Duck Nigga, Duck Nigga (Plow)

Run Motherfucker, Run (Plow)

Run Motherfucker, Run (Plow)

I wouldn't be the nigga that I am

If I didn't pop niggas in their mouth.

God Damn

If Snoop a keep a foot on the streets

And lead and cover the sheets

Run wit them niggaz wit the heat

You never seen a thug like this

You never seen a dub like me

And I ain't weak for wanting peace in fact

I could be beast of the East motherfucker.

I never hesitate to blaze

A nigga really tryna change his ways

We gotta move my team cuz my people's

Are screaming that we need more for fun or is it legal (With a bang)

On this song make it feel like a drive-by

It's ashame but somebody gotta die

They say it happens state to state

But when I'm mobbin' LA

All I hear the Ese's say they go

(Chorus)

Vato you won't believe what i saw,

I saw these pack a guys and they act real hard... (And what they do?)

They twisted fingers say you know who we are...

He said: I dont give a fuck I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg ... (Ah huh)

They kept fucking and it went too far,

So Snoopy he went straight to the trunk of his car (And what he get?), he got his gun and they start running hard, he started firing and then he just charged...

PLOW!!!

(2x)

Run Nigga, Run Nigga (Plow)

Duck Nigga, Duck Nigga (Plow)

Run Motherfucker, Run (Plow)

Run Motherfucker, Run (Plow)
