(feat. Daz Dillinger, Kurupt (Tha Dogg Pound))
[Daz whispering]
This ^!$$% to give it all to me with the cut

[door knocking]

[Kurupt]

Get the door

[Daz Dillinger]

Yo wassup? What you need?
Hmm? Yeah
I'm out


Hop in the '6-3 Chevy, countin boutin the heat
Scapin thru the streets with my ^!$$%s bumpin hellafied beats

See us, ^!$$%s play for keeps, kill the strong and the weak
From the Eastside of Long Beach, that's 2-1 Street
See we, live and die by the gun and the knife

And I, high as a kite, corrallin thru the night
Haha, stackin hundreds, we kept the drugs and hoes comin (Come
on)

Young gunnin, tortured, no need to be punished (Yeah)
All we have of the system is big cabbage
Lifestyles is lavish, livin my life from Dallas

It was a challenge, livin my life like a savage
To have or to not to have it or nobody can have it
Un-touch-able, inde-struct-able

Get in my way and we're dustin you
As a kid this the type of %#@! that we dreamed of
Money, cars, (*##$es and drugs

I prevail, the crack sales then got in jail
Couldn't post bail now my home is livin in a cell
Thirty years with no parole as I grow old

You won't see me on the streets til I'm 60 years old

[Chorus: Daz singing]


Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
[Snoop] It's only for the money

do we live in dangerous lives?
[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
[Snoop] It's only for the money
do we live in dangerous lives?

[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live


[Warren G]
It's the A, Team, operation regime
Money and dreams got me hooked with schemes

From the Time Square walk to America's best
Long Beach is the spot, got a lot of respect
Cos I'm a vet, regulate and never hesitate

I stay hungry so fill my plate
I'm just a young black ^!$$% tryin to flip an end
Five year probation, ^!$$% $#&@ the pen

Whattup, Uncle Kev doin eight upstate
I heard you're benchin ten plates, knockin out inmates
It's just a way of life, ^!$$% shootin the dice

Now you hit all craps, now you payin the price
Livin the thuggish life


[Chorus:]

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why

[Snoop] It's only for the money
do we live in dangerous lives?
[Snoop] It's only for the money

It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
[Snoop] It's only for the money

do we live in dangerous lives?
[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live, we live, we live


[Kurupt]
G, Dove, we, mob
Killin all y'all, that is our job
And if you thought it was The Gang then you hit it on the

knob
Slide and flip like cocoa bricks, takin your 6
and leavin it on the side of the freeway on bricks
Schitzomanic, automatic, schizophrenic, six
It's just a psychosomatic, original

Dogg Pound criminal, ya ever heard of me?
Kurupt, Young Gotti, mother$#&@er D-P
Why is life $#&@ed up? Toe-up
scrapin from the flo' up to the ceilin, the fo's bust
for my children to grow

We live to let go, ^!$$%

[Chorus/Outro:]

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why

[Snoop] It's only for the money
do we live in dangerous lives?
[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
[Snoop] It's only for the money

do we live in dangerous lives?
[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
[Snoop] It's only for the money
do we live in dangerous lives?

[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
[Snoop] It's only for the money
do we live in dangerous lives?
[Snoop] It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live, we live, we live
