behind the walls lyrics

Burn so crooked
(Crooked)
The poet likes to spit
(Spit)
Kareem, that's my dog
Life behind the walls
Nigga, life behind the walls
Yeah, welcome to Oz, niggaz, surprise, niggaz

Keep ya head right, keep ya game tight
Ya might not make it through the night
(Hold up)
This ain't nothin' but war in here
We overpacked in here, you put more in here?

'Bout to rain like snow and let it all go
Father Ray, to cut
I'm gon' need all the friends I could get
'Cause I'm through with this shit
Hit up, Tim, uhm, yeah

Tell me something good, mayn
'Cause I'm so discombobulated being out the hood
I don't know if it's a bad or a good thang
Missin' Cadillacs, switches in the wood grain

Don't touch on my mattress, it ain't cool
Simon on the yard straight trippin' on fools
CO so crooked
(Crooked)
Come equipped when the shank sticks

Yeah, that's my dog
Life behind the walls
Life behind the walls
Suckers, welcome to Oz, niggaz, surprise, niggaz

West coast representin' for all my dogs
One love to my dogs behind the walls
Nate Dogg and I'm tight for all of y'all
Stand strong, stand tall and never fall

West coast representin' for all my dogs
One love to my dogs behind the walls
Nate Dogg and I'm tight for all of y'all
Stand strong, stand tall and never fall

Quick to get ticked off
Every other day, take this wit'cha
(Wit'cha)
The politics stretched out, we all stressed out
Do your thang and I'ma do my thang
We up in the zoo, headed-quarter [unverified] to the West Wing

Oh, you servin' up somethin'? Well you gotta kick in
It's the politics to y'all politicians, kicked in, shank stick in
Only God dump; inmates gets stuck
I'm smokin' on a hump, hollin' at her

A fool walked up, talking 'bout the phone
Phone check, huh? I miss my pump
It ain't no thang even though he's holdin' boulders
I'ma still squabble this fool from the shoulders

If I win or lose the respect that counts
Be the first take off [unverified] P.C. out
The guard so crooked
(Crooked)
Come equipped when the shank sticks

Yeah, that's my dog
Life behind the walls
Life behind the walls
Suckers, welcome to Oz, niggaz, surprise, niggaz

Well, I've arrived at my new home, cell three
I looked around and what did I see?
One of them clowns, one of my enemies
Gotta stay down, so I make me some weed

It's goin' down in the mornin' on me
Soon as they say, "Hey, line up," let's leave
Right now, the nigga just as safe as can be
But when we hit the kitchen, man, sleep

Nate Dogg and I'm tight for all of y'all
When you wanna make a hit, give me a call
West coast representin' for all my dogs
One love to my dogs behind the walls

Nate Dogg and I'm tight for all of y'all
Stand strong, stand tall and never fall
West coast representin' for all my dogs
One love to my dogs behind the walls

Huhh, in here, we work out, re-utilize time
Findin' somethin' in ourselves to find
I make you go see, Sister Peter Marie
I'm the jaw tapper, I'ma be a G in here like Antonio Nappa
Doctor Gloria fix ya up completely
I just might stick myself, so she can feel on me

Watch out, boy, it's comin' fast
(Fast)
White lightnin's 'bout to strike
It don't matter who up in here, boy
There's sixteen inmates just like him

Violent as a Viking, systematic, terrible, tragic
Tragic, drastic, spasmatic, casualties growin' like cancer
I'm all outta breath like a nigga asthmatic
With asthma, here's the perfect answer

And also here's ya last chance to just
Try to make it over the wall
(The wall)
The inmates are so crooked
(Crooked)
Come equipped when the shank sticks

Yeah, that's my dog
Life behind the walls
Life behind the walls
Suckers, welcome to Oz, niggaz, surprise, niggaz

West coast representin' for all my dogs
One love to my dogs behind the walls
Nate Dogg and I'm tight for all of y'all
Stand strong, stand tall and never fall

West coast representin' for all my dogs
One love to my dogs behind the walls
Nate Dogg and I'm tight for all of y'all
Stand strong, stand tall and never fall

Yeah, so crooked, c'mon, come equipped when the shank sticks
Yeah, that's my dog
(Dogg Pound)
Life behind the walls
(It's like that)
Spending life behind the walls, welcome to Oz

Life behind the walls
Life behind the walls
Life behind the walls
