  • (Gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)

    Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs
    Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs
    Because it's- (gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)
    Because it's- (gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)

    Home for the holidays
    My friend pulled me to the side like, "Did you hear about Marcus?
    Our Marcus? "Yeah, our Marcus"
    A bunch of girls say he raped 'em in the back of some Target
    They say he drove 'em back there in his car
    And then he parked it and the rest is even darker
    Wait, which Marcus? 'Cause it can't be-
    "Yes, our Marcus"
    "The same Marcus we collected Pokémon cards with"
    The one with perfect grades that has family in New Orleans?
    "Yes, that Marcus, he's got seven rape charges"

    Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs
    Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs
    Because it's- (gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)
    Because it's- (gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)

    Home for the holidays
    My friend pulled me to the side like, "Did you hear about Kevin?
    Kevin who? "Our Kevin"
    What happened? "He got arrested"
    "They found a bunch of messages he sent to lil' kids"
    "And apparently, he met up with this ten-year-old"
    "And the now the kid's sayin' he got molested"
    Molested by who? "By Kevin"
    Nah, it's gotta be a different Kevin
    "Look, I'm tellin' you it's Kevin, that we've known since we were seven"
    "The one who's dad's a reverend"
    "The same Kevin we spend every weekend with and call brethren"

    Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs
    Ride for my dawgs, lie for my dawgs, die for my dawgs
    Because it's- (gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)
    Because it's- (gang, gang, gang)
    (Gang, gang, gang, gang)

    Truthfully, it's family 'til it can't be, gang 'til it ain't
    Twins, but it depends, brothers until somethin' is uncovered
    Dawgs until the lifting of the fog
    "I always got you" turns into "Well, I never thought you"
    Years of camaraderie suddenly disappear
    Almost like you never were here
    Unconditional love becomes very conditioned when push comes to shove
    And all that talk of takin' bullets suddenly feels foolish
    Pictures with him turn to ad campaigns, you gotta pull it
    Feet held to the fire
    We hold accountable the ones we hold dear out of morals, but mainly fear
    The choice becomes clear
    And years of camaraderie suddenly disappear
    Almost like you never were here

    Almost like you never were here Writer/s: Jackman Thomas Harlow, Laetita Sadier, Rashad Thomas, Timothy Gane
