They Wanna Be Like Us Lyrics

Intro:
Let me go ahead and do this shit man
Now, this shit is often imitated
But never duplicated
Now, you know Death Row was the first one
To spent real money on video's
The first Niggas to be hoppin' in 6-4's in video's
The first Niggas to really have some real label love
We talkin' bout Niggas puttin' real ice on necklaces
Niggas really doin' things
House parties, Niggas drinkin' all 40's
You know what I'm sayin' now
Niggas are often imitated but never duplicated
And you know why Niggas doin' that shit
Because they wanna be like us

Kill 'em all x7

Verse 1:
[The Realest]
The way the story was told
I was murdered at 23 years old
Who ever started the lie
Was it to possess my soul
Can understand
Cause I'm the realest Nigga on the planet
Lyrics, I only have no choice
But I try to ban it
Death Row
It be the label with the cash flow
And when you saw me motherfuck
Say got no place to go
I scream Thug Life
Sideways into the grave
Money over bitches is the motto
And keeps me paid
With Top Dogg
We gon' be the boss Hogs
Cause the last ? Nigga never fall
We got 'em fall
Now time to stay
I rather go out in the burnin' blades
A holocaust or in the source
I make the front page
I'm suicidal on songs
But that's the life I lead
Too much alcohol and drivin'
So now I bleed
Who do I need in my ?
]From all the sinnin' that I done
It's to me kinda hard
A hard job
I often robbed when no penny came
I had no choice
But to switch into a different game
Give a fuck
Because I live in a rush
But all I know you motherfuckers
You wanna be like us
Chorus:
[The Realest]
So many Niggas wanna be like us
Stayin' strapped 24-7
I ain't afraid to bust
And my Glock got trust
I put you all in the dust
Understand this is a game
Full of money and lust
Whut
So many Niggas wanna be like us
In a rush to spray ?
As we come for with hush
There's no one else that I can trust
So I grab my Glock
And then I bust
Nigga

Verse 2:
[Doobie]
Framed milli in the F-1, 50
They can't catch me
See I play the mob Nigga
Nigga like Joe Pesci

Don't test me cause you got me
I'ma tug the Smiff-N-Wesson in my Versace
I ride ya, who got ya bitch
A been body in the Benz
Sippin' Gin on some 20 inch
Die
So in fluid now we do it
Pull it in bombs and blew it
?
A bad ass fluid
You I'll just march to us
We mob Nigga surchin' ?
You shouldn't have bombed us
What the fuck you figure
Diamonds glassin' why no passin'
Messin' in my figure
Want more Tommy than Hilfiger
Screamin' Death Row Nigga
So I figure
It ain't no need
To put the hush on this shit
You motherfuckers tryin' to be like us
Nigga quit
I put that on the circle bitch
Or be us
Chorus:

Verse 3:
[Top Dogg]
The Niggas wanna be like us
And be like me
Alias name the Top Dogg
The dopest MC
Bangin' through you speakers
With the Realest, the Realest
Tight flows doin' shows
And they fools can't stand it
Standed on the row
Bow down to the C
Fools wish they could come like this
Servin' much heat
Don't try to copy the image
Don't try to copy the style
Got Niggas up 24-7
To stay in my profile
The Row ain't dead Nigga
The Row still kicks
Got Niggas outside
Tryin to dress up like Suge Knight and shit
Cashin' hard
Don't forget platinum plus
On video's and trust
With no hit hands are bust
Ain't nothin' to it
We just do it
Again and again
Tell ya momma, ya daddy
And ya closest friend
The last circle may tips
And kicks lick dust
Cause all y'all fake ass Niggas
Tryin' to be like us
Nigga
Chorus: x2

Outro:
[The Realest]
Aye, you know what
Aye, check this out
You know we the first ones
To wear our motherfuckin'
Read record label on our necks
On our chains
All you Niggas who did that
Y'all copycats
We started it
Death Row started wearin' our
Motherfuckin' read record label on our necks
Give us much respect

Big budget video's with the baddest hoes
We did the shit first
Double CD's
We make y'all motherfuckers drop to your knees
And copper please
This Westside
This how we do it
We put it down with the best
Nawmeen, you better give us our respect
Are you disobayin' the Row Nigga
We don't fall out
We had to sit back in P.A. for a lil' while
And see what you other motherfuckers was doin'
Now we back
Bigger and stronger
And gonna last a whole lot longer
It's Westside Nigga
]From the Southside Nigga
We gonna let you Niggas know what it is
And what it's gonna be
Don't touch us
We can't be touched
It's the new Death Row
We got a new logo too Nigga
We givin' Niggas lethal injection Nigga
With perfection
Know what I'm sayin'
We givin' Niggas lethal injection Nigga
With perfection
These motherfuckers wanna be like us
These motherfuckers wanna be like us
Nigga, whut

Hey

These motherfuckers wanna be like us
These motherfuckers wanna be like us
