These Days Video (MV)

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound?

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound?

I believe I got good skills
We been makin' music since we were kids
That's all I wanna do for life
Keepin' it real until the day I die
Obstacles get in my way
Continue to mash and don't forget to pray
I keep my hand on my steel
Because I love my life and I always will
Whatever people say to me
I take it in stride, I'm thinkin', "Negro, please"
If you really don't know me
Then you best back up, I suggest strongly
Yes sir, this is D-P-G
'Til the day I D-I-E
For my L-I-F and E
No matter where I look, that's all I see
And I know

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound?

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound?

Many women cling to me
Is it 'cause they see me on BET?
Everybody knows my name
All the police think I'm servin' 'caine
Jealous niggas call us out
But I don't worry long as I hear their mouths
If ever they decide to kill
You better be prepared because I know I will
One thing I can guarantee
You don't wanna be standin' next to me
Before my final curtain call
I feel safe sayin' it won't be long
So if we bump heads in the street
Or even at some party
You niggas really can't see me
My request is that you stop tryin'
Before I let go

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound?

Every day, that four-five stays on deck for whoever
I'm bustin', takin' down, bowin' down never
Gotta watch my back for these coppers
As well as these niggas that I kick it with
They stick you faster than these bitches will
Since I'm pimpin', everybody wants my riches
And I can't keep the don from buyin' weed, yackin' every time
I smoke constantly, it comforts me
From committin' a murder, so I chill and puff the herb
Who gots my back? Nobody (nobody)
Little Jon Gotti's layin' niggas down at the homie's party
Are we goin' crazy? I guess we are bein' who we are
And they say them niggas got to be a star
I gots to get mine, if I blast then it's my destiny
If I die then it was meant to be intentionally
Worryin', stressin', I guess I need a confession
When the murder take place, it was self protection (these days)

These days, you gotta be strapped
I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back (these days)
These days, you gotta be down
Who said it was easy claimin' Dogg Pound? (These days)

I'm already knowin' ain't nobody got my back (these days)
