Lyric

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

Now if you start with dirt, then you start with hurt

You start with "Oh, you ain't got?", Well here, take my shirt

Start with work, blood and tears over the years

Goin' through whatever we go through, we stickin' it out here

Pups turn into dogs, tadpoles into frogs

I'm just eatin' what's in front of me, ain't thinking about yours

But I'ma keep my paws on what's mine

Beg 'til I find, strapped 'til I'm blind

And I'm a nigga that whatever I do, still gon' be able to spit this

I'm wit' this, 'cause this is mine, you scared shitless

Rap niggas can't fuck with the dog, never

Could be twenty below outside, I'm built for the weather

It could be hotter than lava, I wouldn't bother to sweat

Some of you niggas, form a following, but you startin' to forget

I paid my dues, not only did you not wear, but you would really love it

If you could meet that cat that made my shoes, c'mon

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

Now see, what I do is peep shit, keep shit low key

Pay attention to what you trying to show me, listen

But you never know me, listen, don't give me and you don't owe me

Don't tell me that you love me, don't talk shit, don't kill me slowly

'Cause a dog like me, is an only

Meaning, hit another like me, the truth hurts, but I can't be phony

You always looking for bad, look at you mad

But you won't be satisfied 'til it look what you had

I'm a thorough nigga, I keep my word

And anybody that's ever met me, got love for me, so I keep a herd

And that shit y'all niggas told me got me fucked up in the head

Went from, "Yo, that's my dog" to, "Yeah, that nigga dead"

What the fuck is all this? News to me

Dog, it's like that, ain't what it used to be

See some niggas choose to be on the other side of the fence

Keep riding with this, get fried in the mix, c'mon

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

Now if it ain't that, then don't say that 'cause I don't play that

Y'all play that but the okay, Black, damn, why you say that?

I thought that, what? Nevermind, I just thought it

We supposed to keep it real and destroy what I was taught

Misery loves company

Now you niggas talikin' 'bout jumpin' me, pumpin' me

Full of slugs, blood, stud with the love

Damn, I just gave, what a real nigga does

Don't listen to the buzz, don't get caught up in the hype

You'll lose everything that you worked for trying to take a nigga's stripes

Live life through life so on and so on

That's when the grow on, man, get the flow on

You niggas gettin' too old for this kid shit

On the real, we all done did shit to get shit

Snake shit, right is right, wrong is wrong

Motherfucker, listen to this song, you see what shit I'm on, c'mon!

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life

You could be blind but you gon' see it when you need to see it

You gon' be fine 'cause you gon' be it when you need to be it

One of a kind, frustrate your mind and then you'll free your spirit

Go where I go, dog in my life
