Can you feel it, nothing can save ya

For this is the season of catching the vapors

And since I got time, what I'm gonna do

Is tell you how it's spreading throughout my crew

Well you all know Nate Dogg, who sings on my records

"Never Leave Me Alone", "Ain't No Fun", now check it

Back in the days before Nate Dogg began

He used to try to holler at this girl named Pam

The type of female with fly Gucci gear

She wore a big Turkish rope with a weave in her hair

When they tried to kick it, she'd always fess

Talking about, "Baby please, you out here serving stress"

Since he wasn't no type of big chronic dealer

The homie Nate Dogg didn't appeal to her

But now he wear boots that match with his suits

And push a Lexus Coupe that's extra cheap

And now she stopped fronting and wants to speak and

Be coming round the Pound every single weekend

To get his beeper number she be begging please

Dying for the day to eat these

She caught the vapors

She caught the vapors

I got a little cousin that's kinda plain

He bring the heat with the beat for the Dogg Pound gang

A mellow type of fellow that's laid back

But back in the days he wasn't nothing like that

I remember when he used to scrap every day

When my auntie would tell him he would never obey

He wore his khakis hanging down with his starks untied

And a blue and grey cap that said the Eastside

Around my neighborhood the people treated him bad

They said Daz was the worst thing his mom ever had

They said he would grow up to be nothing but a gangster

Or either in jail, or someone would shank him

But now he's grown up to their surprise

D-A-Z got a hit record slanging worldwide

Now the same people that didn't like him as a child

Bumping Dogg Food, Doggfather, and Doggystyle

They caught the vapors

They caught the vapors

I got another homie from tha L-B-C

Known to y'all as DJ Warren G

He cut, scratch, transforms with finesse

And all that mess

I remember when we first started to rock

He tried to get this job at Calvin's Record Shop

He was in it to win it, but the boss fronted

Said "Sorry Warren G but there's no help wanted"

Now my homie Warren still tried

On and on and on 'til the like break of dawn

To work at tha V-I-P would be the lick

But they looked right past him so my homie straight dipped

Now for the year after Regulate

Warren G is having papers so my homie's like straight

He walked into the same record shop as before

And the boss be like "Warren, welcome to my store"

Offering him a job, but nah he don't want it

Damn it feels good to see people up on it

'Cause I remember when at first they wasn't

Now guess what they caught since he busting

The vapors

They caught the vapors

They caught the vapors

Last subject of the story is about Snoop Dogg

I had to work for mine to show I was a true hog

When I was a teenager I tried to be down

But since they wasn't trying to hear me I made the Dogg Pound

I saw a crew on 2-1 street and said, "Can I be down champ?"

They said no, and treated me like a wet food stamp

After getting rejected, I ain't run off the set

I sat and wrote some Dogg doo-doo rhymes at my rest

When I used to go to parties, they'd make me wait

Would have to beg to get on the mic to set MCs straight

I ain't never love no hoes I was just into my music

They acted like I wanted to keep on hanging with the juzi

But now things switched from West to East

"Yo dog do you remember me from 21st Street, G?

We used to see Daz back in the day"

It happens all the time, so brother don't be amazed

You caught the vapors

You caught the vapors
