[Chorus: C-Murder & Fiend]

Tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas


[Verse 1: C-Murder]

I won't limit the truth, I roll with killers and dealers

From the 504 we be some tank dogg niggas

$50 for show, so nigga respect my mind

50 shots to the arm from a muthafuckin' TEC-9

Kill kill, on a murder scene

Got niggas tweaking for my muthafuckin' shit like a dope fiend

I get a buzz when I dip blunts, and uhh

I make moves with that nigga with the gold fronts

1998 nigga them tank dawgs rule, I pull a lick and get go

Cause I ain't got nothin' to prove, fuck with camouflaged

She die, you gon' die tonight

If that bullet don't kill you, then you gon' bleed from a dog bite

My shit sell like dope, uncut like coke

Nigga, fuck a drug, my studio is like a crack house

No Limit for life, TRU niggas stay cut

We be some tank dawgs, and we ain't runnin'


[Chorus: C-Murder & Fiend]

Tank dawg, we dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas


[Verse 2: Fiend]

Damn I wanted to live, was it way beyond be 'em or live

Momma get insurance on her kid, I wasn't supposed to see 1-6

Now a thug [?] all the niggas the tank can't be with

The young killers and much skrilla is all I see with

I can't see not bein' equipped and not camouflaged in my six

$50 on my story bit, I worry, worry style bitch

Even though my hostile spit on his Mossberg grip

Quote it I spoke tank dawgs make more hustlers quick

Got the nerve to pull shit, disrespect usual niggas

TRU gang affiliated with two more niggas

When we score niggas never just marijuana

Roam by the home [?] from mama drama

Chase blood like a piranha, sleepy eyes from that ganja

Left your neighborhood burnin' in flames, just for a reminder

Kinda hostile in a war, that was segregated

Tank dawgs, and boss hogs, guess where I was initiated


[Chorus: C-Murder & Fiend]

Tank dawgs, be a tank dawg nigga

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas


[Bridge: Mac]

Now everybody wanna be a tank dawg nigga cause them tank dawg niggas get paid

Don't nobody wanna be a tank dawg hater cause them tank dawg haters get sprayed


[Verse 3: Mac]

They call me Mr. Camouflage cause I'm a samurai worrier

Call a coroner, dead bodies in my Nautica van

I lay back with the thirty gat in my hand

Cause he's dead, he's a man, only tank dawgs understand

I came up from the dust, never givin' a fuck

14 hollerin' "3rd Ward!" grabbin' my nuts

No Limit soldier till I die, ain't no stoppin' me, ain't no droppin' me

That's the way it was, the way it got to be

Tank dawgs back up in 'em with the soldier shit

Boom, boom on the nigga when he dissin' the clique

I'm like Malcolm X, but with my hands on the TEC

To them bitches I'm in love with 'em, to the niggas I'm a threat


[Chorus: C-Murder & Fiend]

Tank dawgs, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas

Be a tank dawg, we be dem tank dawg niggas


[Outro: Master P]
