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.

Verse One: Dat Nigga Daz 
Working LA 
tryin to get paid tha right way 
but somehow the right way don't pay 
I'm comin home late every night 
gotta struggle an fight 
wit tha baseheads on tha late night hype 
tryin to creep in tha house 
through tha cut 
for what 
so I won't be seen by none of the homies 
but tha homie Nate Dogg spots me 
and say Yo what's happenin 
No you don't know me no more 
when ya pass me tha satin 
I said ah naw it ain't like that G 
I'm trying to go straight 
and have a J-O-be	 
you need to quit that faggot ass job 
that's what he said 
showed me his grip and took some satin to tha head 
Damn that nigga had at least two G's 
and he was clockin it wit so much ease 
I told him I was gone so I'm headin in tha house 
everybody knocked out 
so I'm locked out 
I go back to tha front 
where my homies is hangin at 
they offer me a cabby sack 
so I can start slangin dat 
they say you ain't a hustler 
I say don't doubt it 
Hold dat thought 
and I'll think about it 
because 
Chorus: Nate Dogg 
[I've been dreamin to long, to long, to long] 
I don't like to dream about gettin paid 
Verse Two: Dat Nigga Daz 
The thought's complete so let me take a seat 
since I was born and raised on tha streets 
I quit tha job I had 
caught myself a sack 
went from a double of fifty into a ceno stack 
within a week but my peak wouldn't reach 
I was gettin too known on tha north side of Long Beach 
Niggas got to trippin and I thought I heard it 
so I went to tha hood 
on Twentieth and Murder 
I came up quick with some homies dat I knew from way way back 
and bid my sack 
or maybe it's seven 
or was it eight hundred strong 
In other words Daz had it goin on 
I bought myself a bucket 
That's right a bucket bitch 
who you f*ck in my car on my dick 
My lifeself switched a bit 
but my attitude didn't 
I told all my old bitches good riddance 
'cause when you got money hoes come automatically 
and no hoes don't do nothing but cause some static see 
I went from khakis to guess braids to a fade 
I'm not Special Ed but I had it made 
livin tha life of a baller care free 
havin bitches dyin to sleep wit me ya see 
But I went bankrupt from all the spending and gamblin 
business was gettin slow 
and I wasn't handlin 
mine tha way I was supposed to 
Now I'm broke and on a jack mission 
so don't get close to 
tha D-P-G gang cause we scandalous when we broke 
We get tha doggs in in us 
we get ta actin like some 
Chorus 
Verse Three: Nate Dogg, Kurrupt 
Last night I had a dream 
felt so good it had to be 
me and my homies were gettin paid 
man oh man we had it made 
some homies want to roll wit me 
some homies claim insanity 
well if you want to set trip I will 
if you don't want to drop be still 
Damn 
I can't believe this 
but you can best believe this 
today 
I'm on another mission to get paid 
serve what I can serve right [right] 
so my pockets will stack up 
nigga don't trip 
nigga back up [hold up] 
I gots to react off the first impulse I find 
but my mama thinks I should take my time 
and work for mines 
but how much work would it take 
and how much money would I make 
wait 
there's somethin I gotta think about 
but I ain't got that much time 
moms want a nigga out tha house 
I ain't gettin no younger 
I'm only gettin older 
I'm only 
thinking about what my mama told me 
Now I'm a Dogg Pound gangsta for life 
and the fact that I'm out to get paid twice 
I ain't nuttin nice 
down to slang or pull a heist 
jack or break mutha fuckas on the dice 
That's real 
Now what should I do 
Just chill when it's time to peel caps and adapt to kill 
I've concealed tha concealed 
so I've maintained for tha salary 
and my mentally is raw from tha door 
I go hard from tha door 
up against all odds 
always down to squab 
Dogg Pound for life 
I survive til 95 
day after day makin hits wit D-A-Z 
ta get paid yeah yeah yeah 
Chorus
