ICE CUBE LYRICS - Man's Best Friend

"Man's Best Friend"



"I can dig it!"



[Chorus: samples (repeat 2X) *1 and *2, *3 and *4 simultaneously]



[*1] "Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay"

[*2] "Dog-catcher, dog-catcher!"

[*3] "Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay"

[*4] "I can dig it!"



[Verse One]

Here's another topic I'm addressin

so learn a quick lesson, about your Smith and Wesson

Sit your ass back and comprehend

as I let you know about man's best friend

Now remember: it used to be a dog like Lassie

but now in ninety-one it's a gun if you asked me

Just like a jimmy hat's used for protection

I use my nine when suckers start to flexin

Cause if you run up and try to play mine

I'd rather have a AK than a fuckin canine

Cause if you shot your gun, and my dog tried to fetch her

me and the dog's goin out on a stretcher

And I ain't with that, so I gotta get that

big black gat, aim and I hit that

Forget about a dog fool, he'll shit in the den

Nowadays.. a gat is man's best friend



[Chorus + Cube saying "Man's best friend" after *3 first time]



[Verse Two]

Here is the reason why Ice Cube pack

Just in case the little punks try to jack

I can't put a motherfuckin pitbull

under a coat, in the small of my back

So I gotta take my beretta, and I betcha

it'll probably work, a 100 percent better

Cause it'll keep me out of danger

with sixteen in the clip and one in the chamber

So this goes to all y'all intruders

Beware of the owner, cause the owner is a shooter

I don't just wanna give your ass rabies

I'd rather have your ass pushing up daisies

And I can't do that with Benji,

Rin Tin Tin, or Spuds McKenzie

Forget about a dog fool, he'll shit in the den

Nowadays, a gat is man's best friend



"Just don't let me see you shoot no dogs!"

"Hey, I got shots fired here, send me another unit"

"The profile of a typical American gun owner is this:

Over thirty, white, male, middle class" [Peter Jennings]



"Take that motherfuckers!"
