"I can dig it!"

[Chorus: samples (repeat 2X) *1 and *2, *3 and *4 simultaneously]


[*1] "Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay"
[*2] "Dog-catcher, dog-catcher!"

[*3] "Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay"
[*4] "I can dig it!"


[Verse One]
Here's another topic I'm addressin
so learn a quick lesson, about your Smith and Wesson

Sit your $$# back and comprehend
as I let you know about man's best friend
Now remember: it used to be a dog like Lassie

but now in ninety-one it's a gun if you asked me
Just like a jimmy hat's used for protection
I use my nine when suckers start to flexin

Cause if you run up and try to play mine
I'd rather have a AK than a $#&@in canine
Cause if you shot your gun, and my dog tried to fetch her

me and the dog's goin out on a stretcher
And I ain't with that, so I gotta get that
big black gat, aim and I hit that

Forget about a dog fool, he'll %#@! in the den
Nowadays.. a gat is man's best friend


[Chorus + Cube saying "Man's best friend" after *3 first time]

[Verse Two]

Here is the reason why Ice Cube pack
Just in case the little punks try to jack
I can't put a mother$#&@in pitbull

under a coat, in the small of my back
So I gotta take my beretta, and I betcha
it'll probably work, a 100 percent better

Cause it'll keep me out of danger
with sixteen in the clip and one in the chamber
So this goes to all y'all intruders

Beware of the owner, cause the owner is a shooter
I don't just wanna give your $$# rabies
I'd rather have your $$# pushing up daisies

And I can't do that with Benji,
Rin Tin Tin, or Spuds McKenzie
Forget about a dog fool, he'll %#@! in the den

Nowadays, a gat is man's best friend

"Just don't let me see you shoot no dogs!"

"Hey, I got shots fired here, send me another unit"
"The profile of a typical American gun owner is this:
Over thirty, white, male, middle class" [Peter Jennings]


"Take that mother$#&@ers!"
