That Was Then This Is Now - Tha Dogg Pound

That was then, this is now

A new beginning in the air, but it made me who I was

So warn the dead of

The youngest of Tha Dogg Pound

Comin up in the streets, representin the role I go around

Trade nothin W.A., knowin our position

The record built our reputation on mashin and dissin

So we did that, young niggaz be down with the click-clack

Known, to push a wig back

See this the killer zone, where them killers kill at

(You know it’s on like Donkey Kong now get peeled back)

You know I’m (America's most, ain’t nuttin like a gangsta party)

Six-four, L Co’s, double R’s, Lambos, Ferraris

The good days, sooner or later we get grown and depart ways

and shit start to fade

I see them niggaz in your face they turn they back and they shoot ya

I’m Diggy Daz fuck the past, I’m the future (to let you know)

That was then, this is now

I cut 'em dump 'em gun 'em shut 'em down

Clowns, fuck 'em like, they was never 'round

Pound, yeah hell hounds in your town

Some made it out others they ended up underground

'92, I ain’t had nuttin else to do

But murder motherfuckers tryin to rhyme against the crew

I read the internet, and I don’t really give a shit

Say what you wanna say we been there since the early days

Legendary in the brain, intergratin with the game

We the originals, multi-criminals in the game

Cool keep it smooth range, Snoopy put us in the game

And we’ve been runnin this motherfucker since «Murder Was the Case»

Silent but deadly since I was off to Slausson

Exhausted to the time we started bossin, exhausted often

Focus Austin, yeah gangsters in this motherfucker

The new N.W.A.

up in this motherfucker
