My niggas,

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

My dogs,

The beginning of this bloodline of mine

That spark,

That's in a niggas heart,

That cause him to shine

Before all the rhymes

Lessons that I keep in my mind

I owe you

And I give my right hand to show you

Whether it's fist or guns

Whatever it go to

Its me they go through,

If ever they want to

I'd line the flame,

Dead game and trying to scratch

K-A-S

I know where my dogs is at

And I'mma be the one behind

Just to keep you on your toes

I be your extra eyes

And hold you down around your foes

I be your extra gun,

When you need me let me know

For my dogs

I be the first to cock it back and let it go

They do it for the dough

Me I do it for the love

You my nigga to the death

So I treat you like my blood

If push comes to shove

And they try to send you back to the street

I give my last to put you back on your feet, feel me

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

You're my dog, nigga,

I die for Shit,

Bust a 5-4,

See the judge and lie for

You the type of nigga

I throw weight up on the block for

Just go ahead and lock jaws

And your half I got yours

Send in the dog I smell it all night

I told niggas to shut up and write,

X barks with a hell of a bite

For the love

They always will be

Till they kill me

I put my thugs on it

And slide till I die on it

And to my motherfucking dogs

Big ups to your first share

Niggas know the deal

Just waiting for them plaques to get shipped

Do your thing nigga

You know we got your back

'Cause real dogs

Always return with food for the pack

Why these wack niggas swinging

When they gon' miss

Take it from me

He was nice before all this

Yo X rain on em cause after that comes the blood

Ruff Ryders, feed all they dogs wit raw blood

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

My people show love (What!)

And haven't left me stranded yet

Though I have a death wish that ain't been granted yet

So until then

I'm a be that nigga

All up in your chest (Come on!)

Until the Lord

Decides to lay my ass

Down to rest

Bless my body at the funeral and

Hope I don't burn

Was a hard headed nigga and nope

I don't learn

Saw the truth but chose to ignore it,

Wasn't going for it

Well a nigga

Had to give it to me,

Then I saw it

This is clear as day

I know here's the day

I'mma be on my way

Nothing more to say

But take me Lord,

Make me Lord

What you will

Really wanted to chill

But learned how to kill

It's been downhill

From then on,

'Cause I been on

Some shit

Hit on

Every move to get ten on

The next sac,

But you know that's how X act

That's why these street niggas is waiting for the next track

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, this is for my dog

This is for my dog, my niggas
