Cube discusses the importance of his gun, which is the gangsta’s version of man’s best friend.[Intro]

(I can dig it)

(Dog catcher, dog catcher)

(I can dig it)

(Dog catcher, dog catcher)

(I can dig it)

[Verse 1]

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 '91, 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 fucking canine

'Cause if you shot your gun, and my dog tried to fetcha

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]

(Dog catcher, dog catcher)

(I can dig it) Man's best friend

(Dog catcher, dog catcher)

(I can dig it)

[Verse 2]

Here is the reason why Ice Cube pack

Just in case the little punks try to jack

I can't put a motherfucking pitbull

Under a coat in the small of my back

So I gotta take my Beretta, and I betcha

It'll probably work a hundred 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

[Outro]

("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")

"Take that, motherfuckers"
