These Days - Nate Dogg, Daz Dillinger

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

I believe I got good skills

We been makin' music since we were kids

Thats all I wanna do, for life

Keepin it real until the day I die

Obstacles get in my way

Continue to mash and don’t forget to pray

I keep my hand on my steel

Because I love my life and I always will

Whatever people say to me

I take it in stride I’m thinkin' negro please

If you really don’t know me

Then you best back up, I suggest strongly

Yes sir this is DPG

Until the day I D-I-E

For my L-I-F and E

No matter where I look that’s all I see

And I know…

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

Many women cling to me

I think it’s because they see me on BET

'Cause everybody knows my name

All the police think I’m serving cane

Jealous niggas call us out

But I don’t worry long as I hear their mouths

If ever they decide to kill

You better be prepared because I know I will

One thing I can guarantee

You don’t wanna be standin' next to me

Before my final curtain call

I forsake save hen and won’t be long

So if we bump heads in the streets

Or even at some party

You niggas really can’t see me

My request is that you stop trying

Before I let go…

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

Everyday, the 45 stays on deck for whoever

I’m bustin' takin down, bowin' down never

Gotta watch my back for these coppers

As well as these niggas that I kick it with

They stick you faster than these bitches will

Since I’m pimpin' everybody wants my riches

And I can’t keep a dime from buying weed 'gnac' every time

I smoke constantly, it comforts me

From committin' the murders so I chill and puff the herb

Who gots my back nobody

Little John Gotti’s layin niggas down at the homey’s party

All be goin' crazy I guess we are bein' who we are

Really say the nigga gotta be a star

I gots to get mine and if I blast then it’s my destiny

If I die then it was meant to be intentionally

Worry stressin' I’m guessin' no confession

When the murder take place set yourself protection

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped

I’m already knowin' ain’t nobody got my back

These days you gotta be down

Who said it was easy claiming Dogg Pound
