This version of Man’S Best Friend was released by Ice Cube in 1991.

Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Ice Cube or about the 1990s in general.

“I can dig it!”

“Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay”
“Dog-catcher, dog-catcher!”
“Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay”
“I can dig it!”

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 ninety-one 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 fuckin canine
Cause if you shot your gun, and my dog tried to fetch her
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

Here is the reason why Ice Cube pack
Just in case the little punks try to jack
I can’t put a motherfuckin pitbull
under a coat, in the small of my back
So I gotta take my beretta, and I betcha
it’ll probably work, a 100 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

“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!”
