You got to do it[00:00:12]
You got to do it ooooh yeah baby[00:00:15]
Tell 'em what we talkin' bout Snoop[00:00:20]
Pullin' and grabbin' you[00:00:23]
Rattlesnakin' and stabbin' you[00:00:24]
Things you wouldn't imagine[00:00:26]
Simply because you like havin' people[00:00:27]
Talkin about you but you can't pay no attention[00:00:29]
They say that's how it is[00:00:31]
Even when you be livin' presidential[00:00:33]
They always funkin' with you[00:00:34]
Especially when you go official[00:00:36]
Take it from me a GC[00:00:37]
People are so fictitial[00:00:39]
Sticks and stones they break bones[00:00:40]
And talk make the weak fall off[00:00:42]
While the strong keep keepin' on[00:00:44]
I take two steps forward[00:00:46]
They try to knock me four steps back[00:00:48]
Whenever I see color[00:00:52]
They only see white or black[00:00:54]
Whenever I speak my mind[00:00:57]
They put words in my mouth[00:01:00]
Do they really think that I'm lyin'[00:01:03]
When I know what they're all about[00:01:05]
Don't let them put you down[00:01:09]
No don't let 'em[00:01:12]
Don't let them put you down[00:01:15]
Don't let 'em[00:01:18]
Don't let them put you down[00:01:20]
Don't let them put you down[00:01:26]
Don't let 'em[00:01:30]
When I'm in my sunshine[00:01:32]
They bring their rain to fall[00:01:34]
I'm lookin' at this picture[00:01:38]
But they can't see it at all[00:01:40]
I'm steppin' on the gas[00:01:43]
And I wanna move ahead[00:01:46]
They say I'll never make it[00:01:49]
But that's what they always said[00:01:51]
Don't let them put you down[00:01:55]
Don't let 'em[00:01:58]
Don't let them put you down[00:02:00]
Don't let 'em[00:02:04]
Don't let them put you down[00:02:06]
Don't let 'em[00:02:10]
Put ya feet on the gas step on fast[00:02:12]
You say in God we trust[00:02:18]
While you promote hate fear and lust[00:02:20]
And love joy and pain[00:02:23]
Is in a constant struggle for superior gain[00:02:26]
Don't let them put you down don't just stand there[00:02:48]
Don't let them put you down sound so funky to me yeah[00:02:54]
Don't let them put you down oh don't let 'em[00:02:59]
