When you my dog you my dog for life

existence is hard to maintain but together we'll make it through the pain and strife

I'll never stab you in the back with jealousys knife

cuz when you my dog you my dog for life

Growin up nobody wanted to show me respect

To busy bein jealous of the life i protect

Just awaitin the day i would draw the last breath outta my chest

Some people take this life as a game but to me its a test

To lay the bad times behind and move towards the best

But then there's always those people that wana pull you into their miserable place

But i ain't tryin to be another welfare case

I got dollar signs infront of my eyes I'm on a paper chase

But i couldn't escape if it wasn't for my friends

Without em' i'd be left without defense

Probably find my self commitin' a violent offense

Then be stuck with tryin to hop over the the federal prisons fence

Life is a straight rode and when you take bends

Problems appear with no ends

And thats why i need friends

{CHORUS}

When you my dog you my dog for life

existence is hard to maintain but together we'll make it through the pain and strife

I'll never stab you in the back with jealousys knife

cuz when you my dog you my dog for life

We'd pick each other up when one would fall

We been through thick and thin we've seen it all

Remember when Chris jumped me and you nearly broke his jaw?

You beat him so hard your hands were raw

That day we realized this a cruel world and friends is all we have

Since then we were like brothers the way we called each others parents mom and dad

I never really fit in at my other school everybody would reject me

But when i came to Kennedy you were quick to accept me
And we was homies ever since

Lookin back on the years i wouldn't have made it without friends

{CHORUS}

When you my dog you my dog for life

existence is hard to maintain but together we'll make it through the pain and strife

I'll never stab you in the back with jealousys knife

cuz when you my dog you my dog for life

I've moved 16 times in 16 years my lifestyles got me drained

I'm to young to comprehend this world will someone please explain

April 13th 1998 why did Uncle Tommy have to slit his vein

I've had some rough times but always kept my head up when it rained

Used to be mad at God but sein nothin differed my anger tammed

Yet there was pieces of me that remained unchanged

Sometimes it felt like i was detained and chained

To my own hate misery and pain

Life felt like to much i didn't wana play the game

In the end friends where to only ones that showed concern

They were the only ones to who i could turn

{CHORUS}

When you my dog you my dog for life

existence is hard to maintain but together we'll make it through the pain and strife

I'll never stab you in the back with jealousys knife

cuz when you my dog you my dog for life
