So gone on and get yourself a bar of this

(These nuts!) I'm almond with the caramel insides
You were playing front end with the french fries
How it feel man? What it look like?
I'm in your neighborhood, pulling on some Bud Light
Sweet and sticky, take it out the wrapper
Now put it in your mouth
To the beat of the drum, it'll be fun
and I bet you can't just eat one (Candy!)

Oh, candy! You want it, we got it, we got it!
Yeah! MC Eiht, Goldie Loc
War Zone, who got that candy?

[MC Eiht]
I'm in the hood with the six-trey candy paint
Lil' something to chunk, make the hoes all faint
If you know when to beep, jump my baby rate
When I grip round her butt, I hold her steady
Yeah, she my one and only
Quick to keep back haters who don't know me
I, feel, good about candy (Candy!)
My gangstas understand me

[Goldie Loc]
Shake it baby, don't break it baby, now can you make it clap? (clap!)
Trying to fit this work in your gap (gap!)
Drop it like it water pagoda, get my hustle on
I get it from you then I step on you to bubble on
It's getting sweeter than a sugar cane
Here come that sugar daddy, black, rolling on gold things
Fo'shigiddy, he turned it into something, boy
Cause I can't leave this filthy game without my Almond Joy (Candy!)

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg over Chorus]
Oh wee! Yeah!
It's so tasty! Hey yo Daz! Kurupt!
DPG! I know y'all got that candy man!
Gimme some of that candy man
Talk to me one time! For real, for real

[Daz Dillinger]
"It's like candy, candy!"
Get it how you want it
Whip it, twist it, pop your whip up on the corner
While I, tadow, check out this bizarre
The D-A-T the N-I double G, the D-A-Z
Again it's up in the wind, feel the breeze for shit
God damn! You already know who I am
Chrome on chrome, blue on blue, frost colors switches
Hit the gas, hit the brake, y'all really burn rubber?
Dip, drop, drop, dip
Stop, dip, ghost ride the whip!

[Kurupt]
Yeah, nigga, shot caller
It's America's number one baller
Man I don't give a f*ck, like, "F*ck it"
High riders, slide in the bucket
Little momma all up on a nigga like a coat
I got the perfect thing that'll coat her throat (Candy!)

[Chorus]

[Snoop Dogg]
Candy! So tasty, candy, candy!
Yeah! Ha ha! Yeah nigga, we got that candy man
We don't sell it at the liquor store either man
We sell it everywhere we go
Holla, holla! (Candy!)

Three thousand motherfucking pieces, you understand me?
I wish a motherfucker would come in this motherfucker
If I see Suge right now, I'd tell him, "Hey, how you doing Suge?"
[laughing] I didn't even know you were standing there nigga
My bad!
