STRAY DOGS Video (MV)

Watch out for that lost dog, he a stray dog
He might just take your hand
And if you toss that ball up, he gon' take off
What's the chance he bring it back
It's the reason why he lost, dog, he a stray dog
Won't take him to the vet
Cause they might put him down, would you put him down
I think he need a chance

My brody, he a dog, they got him locked up in a pen and they can't tame him
Gripping on his chains, he come from nothing, can you blame him
Most of us are lost dogs, some of us ain't got both parents

Most of us ain't got no parents, should be apparent
Why we act the way we do
All we know is survival mode
This ain't nothing like no zoo Mama couldn't keep no job, so we ain't never had no food
Barely afforded public housing, tell me what am I supposed to do

Told em I'm a misfit, when have they ever told the truth
Ever heard your mother cry at night
Hope she don't OD and try to die at night
Getting on her knees, she tryna turn them lights on

Mama, I'ma go and get it, you ain't gotta do that no more
If that mean by any means, I might rob, I might steal, I might lie, I might grill
Can you feel how I feel? Do you feel how I feel
You see I need some help, I ain't finna ask for it

Cause when I do, they say no and I ain't finna beg for it

Watch out for that lost dog, he a stray dog
He might just take your hand
And if you toss that ball up, he gon' take off
What's the chance he bring it back
It's the reason why he lost, dog, he a stray dog
Won't take him to the vet
Cause they might put him down, would you put him down
I think he need a chance

I know niggas that when they see me, they went and shut and locked that door
I can't even mention they name, just know they sheep in wolf clothes
Think I ain't know, y'all ain't low, take that bass up out your throat
When I told you come outside, nigga, you ain't wanna open that door

I get a restraining order, then they twist it like I told
They could've seen the graveyard, but when this fam was too code
Was never taught the code, never taught how to survive
Heat the crib up with the stove, the only way to get by

This before I was getting high, giving niggas no passes
Couldn't let shit slide, I had to humble down
Niggas don't wanna knuckle up, they would rather gun you down
Tryna break these barriers, and they wonder why I don't be around

They gon' respect it though, I know what they checking for
I can't be no hypocrite, I told them I'm next to blow
And once I sink my teeth in, I ain't letting go
We up 800 and G, but who keeping sore

Watch out for that lost dog, he a stray dog
He might just take your hand
And if you toss that ball up, he gon' take off
What's the chance he bring it back
It's the reason why he lost, dog, he a stray dog
Won't take him to the vet
Cause they might put him down, would you put him down
I think he need a chance
