Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg), is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as a rapper in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. Snoop Dogg was a Crip gang member while in high school. Shortly after graduation, he was arrested for cocaine possession and spent six months in Wayside County Jail. His music career began in 1992 after his release when he was discovered by Dr. Dre. He collaborated on several tracks on Dre's solo debut, The Chronic and on the titular theme song to the film Deep Cover.
Snoop's debut album Doggystyle, was released in 1993 under Death Row Records making a debut at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle quickly became certified 4× platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including "What's My Name" and "Gin & Juice". In 1994, Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was The Case, starring himself. In early 1996, Snoop Dogg was cleared of charges over his bodyguard's 1993 murder of Philip Woldemariam. His second album, late 1996's Tha Doggfather, also debuted at No.1 on both charts with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The album sold only half as well, being certified double platinum in 1997.
I cover myself in water
the pearls are good for me
staying resting on the seaside, resting
the air is good to breathe
clear sky, clear from trouble
this day's meant for me
this day's mine without worries
four o'clock in the morning, walking
singing songs meant just for me
and the full moon lights the night
pale jungle comes to life
by the shooting star I wish
this to last forever on
at a shooting star I wish
this to last forever on
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you come with me
there's so much to see, I'll show you all
in the morning breeze, still walking
here's another day
in the boiling midday sun
I hide in the shades to get some rest
and the taste of you and vodka
still here since yesterday
human salt, seasalt in good mixture
making out, making love tonight
four o'clock in the morning, walking
singing songs meant just for you
and the full moon lights the night
your pale eyes comes to life
by the shooting star we wish
this to last forever on
at a shooting star we wish
this to last forever on
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you come with me
there's so much to see, I'll show you all
hey sister, won't you come with me
I will never leave until the day I do
hey sister, won't you count on me
I will never leave until the day I
