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.

[Verse 1]
Black-lipped bastard – destined to be a bastard Crip
But I passed on it to make classic hits
I pray I'm forgiven for not being down
Or puttin' the work in that certain niggas did
Reason behind their service in the pen
Partially why I don't write, I just pull it out the wind
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
I be thinkin' 'bout my friends, know they up to no good
It's all bad...
I seen the yellow tape at Dale's and almost had a heart attack
You never know with this shit, I don't understand
Kids carry canons on Instagram
But cryin' when the cuffs're on their hands
It's out my hands...
It's two sides to every story
And I ain't a judge or signed up for jury duty
My youth was stolen moving too quick, it's sick though
'Cause Vince know what I know now, when I'm 26
We still movin' further, hope my seeds grow to be trees
And not just bushes...
[Hook]
Can I live without killin' y'all? Please...
Can I live without killin' y'all? Please...
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without killin' y'all?
Can I live without...
[Verse 2: Vince]
Call the gang unit – they know the game, foolie
I truly was built for this shit, I'm in the rain coolin'
Right by where the enemies live...
You know you can kill a giant with a lucky shot...
Aim for the head when you fuck with God Jehova
I'll hopefully be speakin' the code of the beat
Snitch and we domin' your niece
Homies be cold as police
Mama had told us as kids never to shit where you eat
And I got a clip for the heat – 357, I think I'm itchy, dawg
Niggas know I'm 6'5 'til I'm 6 feet
Under, where they took us?
Undercovers parked on Orizaba
Dogs up in the yard of the abandoned where we hide the choppers
I couldn't hide from the karma, you see it followed me
Fuck it – get it crackin' in public, these niggas rap for the fashion
They want the mansions, they puppets
A puppet master'll bust in that chamber talkin' 'bout muzzle...
