Dead Man Walkin' is an album released by Death Row Records in 2000, composed of archived Snoop Dogg recordings but was not authorized by Snoop Dogg, nor recognized on the discography on his website. Snoop Dogg was an artist on Death Row from 1992 to 1998, when he left the label following labelmate Dr. Dre's departure and the death of Tupac Shakur. The split between Snoop Dogg and Death Row head Suge Knight was less than amicable, and the title of this release was an unfriendly warning from Knight to Snoop Dogg, who had spoken out against the imposing Knight in several interviews and on record as well. According to SoundScan (2005), it has sold 220,478 copies. A music video was released for Head Doctor.
Standing at the burning house - memories going round
of what he's done and what should be -feels like
falling down
emotions- keep on running wild, while loosing all
around
life seems like a tragedy, lost what he found
packed up his belongings - saddle up his horse
left this town in agony - wouldn't turn around
a gunman on his way to hell - weile the sun is going
down
has to do what must be done - dead man on the run
until the time has come - had to carry on
allways on the run - shadows of the past - it seems
like a deadman walking
His loneliness is more than pain - draining out his
heart
former leader of the pack - looking for a start
he used to work hard every day -rugged and handsome
pale
salvation it has crossed his way with the one so hard
to find
time of joy has been so short - and good has changed to
beloved wife died in a year - and took which her his
he don't know what he's fighting for - glory and for
fame
he's past is buried in lamar - the whole world is to
blame
until the time has come - had to carry on
allways on the run - shadows of the dead - it seems
like a deadman
till the time has come - allways on the run -
until the time has come - shadows of the past -
well, it seems like a deadman
All his life, all his pride - the bleeding never ends
all this shadows of the dead, will get him now at last
Look for reasons in the planes - trouble's all he found
just a man of circumstance - gets back up the ground
the hangman has it's bloody rope - tied around his neck
the reaper's gonna have to wait - your number's not up
until the time has come - had to carry on
till the time has come - shadows of the dead - well it
seems like a deadman WALKING
till the time has come - had to carry on
until the time has come - shadows of the dead -
well, it seems like a deadman walking WALKING - deadman
walking WALKING - like a deadman walking WALKING
