This some sh**! The new generation is on! The new generation! Hey, I'mma tell you right now, if-if if I have to die today, for this little African right here to have a future I'm a dead motherf**er! (You right!) [Verse 1: Snoop Dogg] Wake up, jumped out my bed I'm in a 2 man cell with my homie Lil 1/2 Dead Murder was the case that they gave me Dear God, I wonder can you save me I'm only 18, so I'm a young buck It's a riot, if I don't scrap, I'm getting stuck But that's the life of a G, I guess Ese's way deep, shanked two in the chest Bests run cause brothers is dropping quicker Uh, too late, damn, down goes another n***a Bouncing off the walls, throwing them dogs Getting that rep as a young hog It ain't nothing like the street life You better be strapped with your shank, cause ain't no fist fight So I guess I gots to handle mine Since I did the crime, I gots to do my time [Pre-Hook 1: Dat n***a Daz] Them say me grow up to be nothing, look at me now And tell me what you see I am what I am, it's only me [Hook: Donny Hathaway] Little ghetto boy Playing in the ghetto street What'cha gonna do when you grow up And have to face responsibility? [Verse 2: Dr. Dre] Now, I'm holding a dub, sitting on swoll 27 years old, up for parole, stroll I'm back up on my feet with my mind on the money That I'll be making soon as I touch the streets Things done changed on this side Remember they used to thump but now they blast, right But it ain't no thing to me Cause now I'm what they call a loced-a**ed OG The little homies from the hood with grip Are the ones I get with cause I'm down to set trip n***a, I'm bigger than you, so what'cha wanna do Didn't know he had a .22 Straight sitting behind his back I grabbed his pockets and then I heard six caps I fell to the ground with blood on my hands I didn't understand How a n***a so young could bust a cap I used to be the same way back I guess that's what I get (For what?) For trying to jack them little homies for they grip [Pre-Hook 2: Dat n***a Daz] Me learn many things from what me from the street The outcome of what I've come to be [Hook] [Verse 3: Snoop Dogg] Something for the real OGs to get with Some facts, made our made, now you wanna run and play Like every single day, really doe You know me, I'm the smooth macadamien, gaming them for my homie No needing being calm if you pack right And learning just enuff to keep your sack right Late nights, I wonder what they getting for? Early morning on the corners, what they hitting for? Seven young Gs put they serve down In a G ride, east side's where they swerve now. Not thinking about what's really going on; Got crept on; stepped on; now they gone I spent 4 years in the county with nothing but convicts around me But now I'm back at the Pound And we expose ways for the youth to survive Some think it's wrong but we tend to think it's (right) So make all them ends you can make Cause when you're broke, you break, check it out So ain't no need for your mama to trip Cause you's a hustling-a** youngsta, clocking your grip [Pre-Hook 3: Dat n***a Daz] Now me finally grown as you can see, still an OG For life and always remain to be [Hook]
