[Chorus: Swizz Beatz & Sheek Louch]
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (Here we go), ayo
[Verse 2: Sheek Louch]
We ain't cool like that, homie, we barely✦ even✦ talk (Facts)
Every✦ rapper✦ ain't close 'cause they comin'✦ out New York
I ain't get a call from you when my mom was in the morgue (Uh)
Or a nigga✦ needed✦ money,✦ so how the fuck is you my dog? (Sheek)
Got a little older,✦ seen shit for what it was
Yeah, I known you longer,✦ but I like him for what he does (Uh-huh)✦
No talk, .38 Revolver just because
Straight liquor, that cranberry fuckin'✦ up my buzz (Ow)
That's my dog, yeah, we done got it off the ground
Turned✦ it to Ruff Ryders,✦ gave niggas✦ a new sound (Ruff Ryders)✦
You heard I was from Yonkers like it was a new town
I'm lookin'✦ at these labels, like, "Who the fuck is these new clowns?"
Silverback, nigga,✦ can't wait for me to fall (Uh-huh)✦
Same time, their bitches can't wait for me to call
These hatin'✦ motherfuckers✦ I be tryin' to avoid✦
Let's do it for Breonna, let's do this shit for Floyd (Sheek)
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (Here we go)
[Verse 3: Styles P]
You can feel the love or all the evil that men do (Feel the love)
Either✦ playin' God or a dog that needs a menu✦ (Ah)
I was born a wolf, my nigga,✦ let me continue (Hahahaha)
Come from a town where niggas✦ fly out the window✦ (Fly)
Either✦ they got thrown or the dust did it
Nah, the knife didn't kill him, but the rust did it
Lookin'✦ at the new McLaren, need a clutch in it
That gun probably✦ got a homi',✦ but I fucks with it (I fucks with it)
All these niggas✦ been my dogs since the lowlife days (My dogs)
Got a .45, shit'll probably✦ blow like haze
You don't want a homi',✦ you should let me go my way (My way)
I'm like Doughboy, you gon' wanna✦ roll like Tre (Yeah)
All my niggas✦ know the ticket✦ on the hero'n✦ price (That hero'n)✦
Every✦ bar that I say is sort of like Klondike (Hah)
Yeah, that's cold, motherfucker,✦ get a hold, motherfucker✦ (Get a hold)
That's my dog, if he asked,✦ I'll take your soul, motherfucker✦
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (Here we go)
[Verse 4: DMX]
Grr
It just takes✦ one shot from one gun by one dude
A reason✦ to get it, what's up? Then fuck you (What?)
You know how a nigga✦ move, it's how a nigga✦ move (Uh-huh)✦
Fuckin'✦ snake, you should have ate when your plate had food (Grr)
I'ma✦ say what the fuck I want, let it do what it do
And wherever the fuck you at, nigga,✦ we comin'✦ through (Yeah)
I ain't playin' with you niggas,✦ I got kids your age
I ain't your father✦ that shoulda✦ stayed, too late, you shoulda✦ prayed
You ain't know, motherfucker?✦ I'm from the home of the brave (Aow)
Where we played in the mountains 'cause we lived✦ in a cave
When I came into✦ the game, I crashed through the wave
I'm the best (The best), somethin' that I'm takin'✦ to the grave
Motherfuckers'✦ jeans is too tight to be fuckin'✦ with dog
So stop fuckin'✦ with me, 'cause I ain't fuckin'✦ with y'all (C'mon)
I might have dropped the ball, but I got it right back
My man dove for the out of bounds save and shot it right back (Yeah)
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Dog)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Oh), that's my dog, yeah (Yeah)
That's my dog, yeah, yeah, that's my dog, yeah (Here we go)
[Post-Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
Do it for the have-nots,✦ do it for the lowlifes✦
Do it for the have-nots,✦ do it for the lowlifes✦
Do it for the have-nots,✦ do it for the lowlifes✦
Do it for the have-nots,✦ do it for the lowlifes✦ (Yeah)
[Chorus: Swizz Beatz]
That's my dog, yeah, yeah (Bounce), that's my dog, yeah (Bounce)
That's my dog, yeah (Bounce), that's my dog, yeah (Dance)
That's my dog, yeah (Yeah), that's my dog, yeah (Woah)
That's my dog, yeah (Woo), that's my dog, yeah (Woo woo)
