Tha Dogg Pound

Tha Dogg Pound is a rap group made up of Daz Dillinger and Kurupt. They were signed to Death Row Records in their early careers and were key to the label's success. The group made their 1992 rap debut on Dr. Dre's The Chronic, on various songs. They also appeared on Snoop Dogg's debut album Doggystyle, and the Death Row soundtracks Murder Was The Case and Above The Rim. Their debut album Dogg Food was released in 1995. It was another addition to the controversy of hardcore hip hop due to the sexual and violent lyrics and went on to sell two million albums. more »

Kurupt: 
Yeah 
Nobody pour out the eggnog and Hennessey 
Hahaha 
(Merry Christmas) 

Daz: 
(I wish I had love) 
This goes out to all my homeboys out there locked down 
(I wish I had love) 
I said I was remembering 
(I wish I had love) 
Throughout my life as a child 
My mama covered me with blessings 
Thanking God for another day 
Bringin' love and the presents 
But who cares about us homeless people? 
God do (God do) 
Don't be stingy, give a little 
Cause He love you (He love you) 
It's been a long time coming could say 
For this day 
Fulfilling dreams is the kid 
For the Christmas that I never enjoyed a year 
Spread love to my homeboys locked down in the pen 
Spread love to my homies that passed that I won't see again 
Enemies are friends 
It's Christmas time let us join hands 
Every woman, every man, across every land 
What's the solution for your 9-7 resolution? 
Is it love or hate 
Time's running out on the youth 

Kurupt: 
I'm in the middle 
In the rapture 
In the mixture 
Clear as daylight 
It's painted clearer than a picture 
I get my focus like a lens 
I start visionin' all my friends, mansions and ends 
Now when I was eighteen 
It would seem 
Thoughts of a teen wouldn't prevail 
But, I'm thinkin', oh well 
That's life 
And I'm a be a G (that's right) 
But for what I see 
The war's closer to me 
Wanted to be what I be 
Have what I have 
Write what I write 
With my pen and my pad 
Ain't nobody want to take what I make 
(That's on me) 
And don't nobody make what I make 
(That's on me) 
.38 covered with the chrome plate 
(That's on me) 
Realize, open your eyes 
Who's the real homies now? 

Daz: 
I wish I had love (2x) 
Growing up all alone, I wish I had love 
Every Christmas without a gift, I wish I had love 
I give love to all my homies, wish they had love 
Every day upon on the block, I wish I had love 
I wish I had love (2x) 
(Say what, say what) 
Now as I lay myself to sleep at night 
I pray the Lord my soul to keep 
So I can try to do right 
There's no one else that I can turn to 
I'm asking a favor, oh, just this once 
Oh, Jesus Christ, Lord I'm asking you 
Please help me out cause this my last days 
Cause if I die today I'm going to hell 
And I'd lead the way 
That I want to live my life, see 
I'm having a few simple problems 
And good one who could help me 
I've done a lot of crazy things in my day 
Being Mr. Scrooge on Christmas 
Out there really trying to get paid 
Now I know that was the wrong move 
Please forgive me for my sins 
And that's what I'm asking you 
I read the bible to keep the tune of what you say 
But this the first time in nineteen years that I ever prayed 
To be straight up and be serious 
I believe in you, God 
My mom says you work miracles 

Kurupt: 
I came from a small city called Philly 
My cousin Brian just passed 
The homie Kel-L just passed 
Time's movin' too fast 
I wonder will I last 
Glory in the world 
With less drugs and cash 
And I'm caught up 
But this ain't the way I was brought up 
Now I have doubts 
What's that all about? 
Now we smoke weed 
Now we get high 
And I don't have answers when my momma asks why 
Why, why, why? 
Why do I do what I do when I 
Feel kind of low and I'm on top of the sky 
I'm my own enemy 
With no energy to try 
I stopped along the middle of the trail 
Waiting to inhale and exhale 
Instead of waiting to excel 
Now, when I was eighteen 
It would seem 
Thoughts of a teen wouldn't prevail 
But, I'm thinking, oh well 
I wish I had love (5x) 

Daz: 
I wish I had love 
All the needy kids alive, wish they had love 
All the kids with disease, wish they had love 
To all the bums on my corner, wish they had love 
To the whole worldwide, I wish we had love 
Wish I had love (2x) 
And this goes out to the world, both sides 
Death Row wants to say, "Merry Christmas" 
And we out 
(Tis the season to be jolly) 
Dogg Pound Gangstas 
Suge Knight, thanks for givin' Dogg Pound love 
Death Row, thanks for givin' Dogg Pound love 
Kurupt and Daz, Snoop Dogg, we be givin' love 
Every day on the corner we be givin' love 
All my homies in the corner we be giving love 
Giving it up to all my homies , wish I had love 
Every day and every night, I wish I had love 
Thank God for shedding light on my life 
I guess I have love 

Kurupt: 
Christmas time 
It's time for chillin', you know what I mean 

Daz: 
Not killin' 
So let's make it to see '98 
And to all my homeboys in the pen (all the homies) 
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 
And we out 
And we see you when you get out
