"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!"
