"The Way I Am (Original Version)" lyrics

[Knoc-Turn'al:]
Yes...
I'ma do me, I'ma do me
You gon' do you, you gon' do you
I'ma do me, I'ma do me (Yes)
You gon' do you, you gon' do you
I'ma do me, I'ma do me

I'm the most underrated rapper of all time
So why do you accept those that bite my rhymes?
Me and Eminem ride for D-R-E
Me and X was in the club 'bout to blast off heat
Quik told me to be all I can be
Nate is my Dogg, him and Warren G
They recognize the ridah in the driver's seat
And even 50 Cent said he'll ride for me (ah, get em)
We somethin' like gangsta rap cousins
On my daughter, I'ma die 'fore I let you touch 'em
And you know I like livin', enjoying myself and I ain't bullshittin'
You don't move me wit' fat-mouthin' and lippin'
And you don't want to see me out of retirement trippin'
I got a lot to live for, and I'd be damned if I change one bit
I like the way I am
You understand?

Put your hands up, come off them grams
I ain't trippin', that's the way I am (The way I am)
And if you see me wit' heat in my hand
You better duck, that's the way I am (The way I am)
I can't believe you got up in them pants
Sexy lady, go and do that dance
Come on over when you sick of ya man
And we can chill, that's the way I am (The way I am)

I don't know that girl, I just met her
Sippin' on Sour Amaretta
She gon' do her thing if I let her (Yes!)
But I'ma bounce 'cause her friend looks better
I like the way she notice me
I like the way she got herself in VIP
If she sees K-N-O-C
She gon' chill and wait out front for me

[Snoop Dogg:]
Light blue shoes, dark blue pants (Uh)
Four, five bitches, and they all wanna dance
I don't get down, bitch, that ain't my program
I don't hold hands and I don't slow jam (Un-uh)
I C-walk in the park with the fellas
And make suckers jealous 'cause they can't outsell us
You wanna join us? Well, here's a few pointers
About them riders from the state of California
Knoc' knock on wood
Eastside, LB, shit it's all to the good
In the hood, he's so 'Confidential'
With the way that we get you and the shit that I hit you
And spit you, split you, sit you down
Click, cock, pop at you, rock you, and knock you down
Pimp slap you and sock you down
Lifestyles of the motherfuckin' Dogg Pound, now

[Knoc-Turn'al:]
Put your hands up, come off them grams
I ain't trippin', that's the way I am (The way I am)
And if you see me wit' heat in my hand
You better duck, that's the way I am (The way I am)
I can't believe you got up in them pants
Sexy lady, go and do that dance
Come on over when you sick of ya man
And we can chill, that's the way I am (The way I am)

You know where we be, in the club
Come find me – I ain't trippin'
Air is free, so what ever you wanna do
For real though
Heh, it's just the way I am

Put your hands up, come off them grams
I ain't trippin', that's the way I am (The way I am)
And if you see me wit' heat in my hand
You better duck, that's the way I am (The way I am)
I can't believe you got up in them pants
Sexy lady, go and do that dance
Come on over when you sick of ya man
And we can chill, that's the way I am (The way I am)
