[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg] As I look up, at the sky My mind starts trippin, a tear drops my eye My body temperature falls I'm shakin, and they breakin, tryin to save the Dogg Pumpin on my chest and I'm screamin I stop breathin, damn I see demons Dear God, I wonder can ya save me I can't die my Boo-Boo's bout to have my baby I think it's too late for prayin, hold up A voice spoke to me and it slowly started sayin "Bring your lifestyle to me I'll make it better" And how long will I live? "Eternal life and forever" And will I be, the G that I was? "I'll make your life better than you can imagine or even dreamed of So relax your soul, let me take control Close your eyes my son" My eyes are closed
[Hook (x4)] Murder... "murder was the case that they gave me"
[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg] I'm fresh up out my coma I got my momma and my daddy and my homies in my corner It's gonna take a miracle they say For me to walk again and talk again but anyway I get, fronted some keys, to get, back on my feet And everything that nigga said, came to reality Livin like a baller, loc I'm havin money, and blowin hella chronic smoke I bought my momma a Benz, my Boo-Boo a Jag And now I'm rollin in a nine-trizzay El Do-Rad "Just remember who changed your mind Cuz when you start set-trippin, that ass is mine" Indeed, agreed proceed to smoke weed Never have a want, never have a need They say I'm greedy but I still want mo' Cause my eyes wanna journey some more, really doe (check it out)
[Break] Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord, my soul to keep If I should die, before I wake I pray the lord, my soul to take
[Hook (x2)] Murder was the case that they gave me "Murder was the case that they gave me"
[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg] No more indo, gin and juice I'm on my way to Chino, rollin on the grey goose Shackled from head to toe Twenty-five with a izz-L, with nowhere to gizzo, I know Them niggas from the other side recognize my face Cause it's the O.G. D-O-double-G, L-B-C Mad doggin niggas cuz I don't care Red jumpsuit with two braids in my hair Niggas stare as I enter the center They send me to a level three yard, that's where I stay Late night I hear toothbrushes scrapin on the floor Niggas gettin they shanks, just in case the war, pops off Cause you can't tell what's next My little homey Baby Boo, he took a pencil in his neck And he probably won't make it, to see twenty-two I put that on my momma, I'mma ride for you Baby Boo
[Hook (x4)] Murder... "murder was the case that they gave me"
