[Intro: Daryl & Kevin]
Kevin, this is Daryl from Long Beach
Man uh, I was wondering if you could uh, play a song for me
Me and my lady goin' through a few thangs, see
And I'm not feelin' very well right now
Yeah, I hear ya, I know how you feel
I've been there, hell we've all been there
For you and all you playaz who got bumped off the playin' field
This is the song for you
187.4 on your FM dizzal, WBALLZ

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all

[Verse 1: Nate Dogg]
Pimpin', hustlin', playin' hoes is all I know
With my homeys on the mash and a pocket full of cash
What more can a nigga ask for
With my strap in my lap and my niggas back to back
A muthafucka didn't wanna see me
Then along came his girl, finest woman in the world
That broad been to my knees

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
(Now I, don't trust no hoe
And do you, know that's how it goes
I never thought you were the one
That would try to get a nigga like Ms Spunk)
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all

[Bridge]
I know you're all in big ones from the start
I really didn't need to, play your heart
But you still have the good looks, DPG blood
You're the only one that, I love
Make me wanna climb up DPG
Make me wanna moan, make me wanna scream
Make me wanna climb up DPG
Make me wanna moan, make me wanna scream
Make me wanna climb up DPG
Make me wanna moan, make me wanna scream

[Interlude: Big Pimpin Delemond]
See as I say it, something about the power of the pussy
It even breaks gangstaz down
Bitch tricked me out of my playaz license

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all
A dirty ho's drawls
That was the cause of it all

[Outro: Nate Dogg]
I'll get over you
I gotta get over you
Before I've been a fool
I gotta get over you
(Dirty ho's drawls)

In 1990, Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg, and their friend Warren G, formed a rap trio called 213. 213 recorded their first demo in the back of the famed V.I.P. record store in Long Beach, the demo was later heard by Dr. Dre at a house party and he was instantly hooked on the soulful voice of Nate.

Nate Dogg made his debut on The Chronic. Singing in what later become his trademark style, he was well received by fans and critics alike, and would go on to sign with Death Row Records in 1993. Nate Dogg was also featured on Mista Grimm’s “Indosmoke” with Warren G. Then in 1994 he produced his first hit single “Regulate” with Warren G. Nate Dogg was also featured in many releases of the late 2Pac. Then in 1998 after a tumultuous time at Death Row Records he released his first two albums. The double album was titled G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2 and was followed up in late 2001 with Music & Me. After a number of delays and an original release date of April 2004, his self-titled album was released in 2008.

Nate Dogg passed away on March 15, 2011, due to complications from strokes.
