Yeahwe'd like to welcome y'all inside this R&G
Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece
Such aheavenly experience
Alchemistbreak it down for me nephew
Let me preach to 'em one timechuuch
[Snoop Dogg]
In the beginning as a child I was chosen
Though not knowin the reason while still my eyes opened
Whatever the purposeI surfaced above the fog
Love was given to alloutside livin the ball
As an adolescentone black childI had a message
to reach teachin the massesI wrote my first passage
It was jotted downcreated in the form of a rap
I'm younglivin in the city of jackers and gangbangin
and dope dealincold feelin to be a product of niggaz around you
Once you get on top they down you
But the temptation got mestreets caught me watchin
I found myself grindin on the streets quite often
With a blue ragbangin the dubfo'-fifth coffin
At the spot61st40 blocks from the Eastside
Where most of the big homies had a glock and flossed the G-ride
Niggaz throwin up hands but it wasn't no peace signs
Never fo' a second did I think to let my light shine
Hardheadedthought I was grownmessin up
Disrespectin my homenot carin 'bout what moms what sayin
And then I found out that mom wasn't playin
TodayI love you for itback thenI couldn't understand
Get my life rightstep it upnigga be a man
Never be a victimof what the system might hit you with
Through the stripes still gotta shine my light
I've grownto comprehend the game; my name is Big Snoop Boss Dogg
Just a block and a phone call away
I've reached the statusof a modern day John Baptist
I'm preachin just what I practice
To each and allI got a word from the Beach to acros the globe
Man woman young and old
Don't gain the worldlose your soul to spite
Many circumstances Doggy gon' shine my light cause I love you
[singers - repeat in background of Outro w/ ad libs]
(I loveto give you light)
[Outro: Minister]
And the people that is locked uplocked down
And the people that's locked dowwwwwn
Also Godshould purchase the newEscalade
On 24'swith the spinnin thangsha ha
I need you toright nowlook at your neighbors
Cause a lot of y'all think y'all goin to heaven huh
And you ain't gon' go!
So I need you right now tolook at your neighbor
and say neighborsay NEIGH-BORYOU AIN'T GOIN!!
