[Verse 1: Emanny]
Hey-ey-ey-ey
Prophesized to be your king
He's a king of the street
Man of the world, who the little boys wanna be
He's the dope man
Ohh (Ooh)
Just the ghetto hood celebrity
Chains and shackles, just a distant memory
He's the dope man (Ooh)
I ain't talkin' pimps and hoes, I'm talkin' Cadillac drove on 24s
He's the dope man
What you see is what you get, he's off it
He's our dope man (Yeah)

[Interlude: Cedric The Entertainer]
It's 72 degrees and it doesn't get better than this
The weather is so beautiful outside
It's gonna warm up a little bit
And I wanna shout out to all those people that are
Headed out for good times with family and friends
Just a little relaxin', enjoyin' yourselves
I wish it was me joinin' you
But I'm right here doin' the thing that gets it groovin'
The moves and the sounds
Only on Smooth Grease FM

[Chorus: Ice Cube, Emanny & Royce da 5'9"]
Dope man, please, can I have another hit (Hey, hey, hey)
Dope man (Give it up, give it up for)
Dope man, please
Give it up, give it up for
Give it up, give it up for
Dope man, please (Ooh)
Dope-dope-dope man

[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9" & Ice Cube]
Old head starin' at me, they some has-beens, I'm the nigga that they never was (Dope man)
Your mama used to be a dime piece (Dope man), now I let her and your auntie split a dub (Dope man)
Mommy got a fat ass in a sundress, I'ma see if I can get a hug (Dope man)
Fucked your baby mama, only problem is now it's too hard to get rid of her (Dope man)
One man treasure and another man trash, you can call me a litterbug (Dope man)
White cop call me a nigga while the wife pops call me a jitterbug (Dope man)
One man white powder army could wipe out an army of Twitter thugs (Dope man)
Put the weed man out of business at a time when the town needed realer drugs (Dope man)

[Outro: Ice Cube, Emmany & Royce da 5'9"]
Dope man, please (Ohhh)
Dope man, please, can I have another hit?
The government injected crack into my natural habitat
Charged me with possession and arrested me for havin' it after that
Pulled up in the Wraith, know it really hurts
As the oldest had to get a couple in blood
Dope man, please, can I have another hit
Dope man (We gon' split a Dutch)
Dope man, please
Dope man, please
Dope-dope-dope man
Dope man, dope man
Dope-dope man, dope man
Please, can I have another hit?
Dope man, dope man
Give it up, give it up for (Dope man, please)
Give it up, give it up for

Royce da 5'9", real name Ryan Daniel Montgomery, is undoubtedly one of the underground rap kings of Detroit. The Michigan MC is a long-time collaborator of Eminem’s, meeting him in December 1997, and is noted as one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop’s history (in 2012, The Source ranked him as the 48th greatest lyricist of all time in their top 50, this questionable ranking unsurprisingly being scrutinized by many as a gross misjudgment).

Although critics have previously cast shade on his ability to create a well-rounded body of work, many, critics included, considered his sophomore effort, Death is Certain (2004), to be a strong album. To learn more in-depth about his solo discography, read this page (the page listed is old, so it is not updated).

Royce is the Bad half of Bad Meets Evil (with Eminem), ¼ of Slaughterhouse (alongside Crooked I KXNG CROOKED, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz), and ½ of PRhyme (with DJ Premier). Royce currently operates a independent record label, Bad Half Entertainment.
