[Intro:]
Uh, Def Jam!
Uh, Ruff Ryders!
My nigga TP, creep with me.
[Verse 1:]
Why is it every move I make turn out to be a bad one?
Where's my guardian angel? Need one, wish I had one.
I'm right here, shorty, and I'ma hold you down,
And tryna to fuck all these bitches, I'ma show you how.
But who…? Name's D like you, but my friends call me Damien,
And I'ma put hip to something about this game we in,
You and me could take it there, and you'll be
The hottest nigga ever livin'. That's a given? You'll see
Hmm, that's what I've been wantin' all my life,
Thinkin' about my little man so I call my wife,
Well, your dada is about to make it happen.
What you mean, my nigga? — I'm about to make it rappin',
Today I met this cat, he said his name was Damien,
He thinks that we're a lot alike and wants to be my friend.
You mean like Chuckie? — Ha ha, yeah, just like Chuckie!
Dada, looks like we're both lucky, yeah!
[Chorus:]
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
[Verse 2:]
Hey yo, D! Whattup, D? You's a smooth nigga,
I seen you when nobody knew who pulled the trigger.
Yeah, you know, it's always over dough.
You sure? I coulda swore it was over a ho.
Nah, nah, that ain't my style. You stay frontin',
But you still my man, and I ain't gonna say nothing.
Got some weed, go 'head, smoke it! Go 'head, drink it!
Go 'head and fuck shorty! You know I can keep a secret. Aight.
I'm about to have you drivin', probably a Benz,
But we gotta stay friends: blood out, blood in.
Sounds good to me, fuck it, what I got to lose?
Hmm, nothing I can think of, any nigga would choose,
Got me pushin' the whips, takin' trips across seas,
Pockets stay laced, nigga, I floss G's,
For that nigga I would bleed, give him my right hand,
Now that I think about it, “Yo, that's my man!”
[Chorus:]
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
[Verse 3:]
You like how everything is goin'? You like what I gave you?
You know if you was goin' down I'd be the one to save you,
But, yo, I need a favor, these cats across town hate me,
Plus their behavior hasn't been too good lately.
What? Anything for you, dog, where them niggas at?
38th from Broadway. Aight, let me get the gat,
Run up on 'em strapped, bust off caps on four niggas,
Laid low for 'bout a month then killed two more niggas,
Now I'm ready to chill, but you still want me to kill.
Look at what I did for you, dog! Come on, keep it real!
Aight, fuck it, I'ma do it, who is it this time?
Hey yo, remember that kid Sean you used to be with in '89?
Naw, that's my man. I thought I was your man,
But yo, that's my nigga. Hey, who's your biggest fan?
Either do it or give me your right hand, that's what you said,
I see now ain't nothing but trouble ahead.
[Chorus:]
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
In the fog, the fog, livin' in the fog,
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
How you gonna see him if you livin' in the fog?
The snake, the rat, the cat, the dog…
To be continued, mothafuckas!
