Doggy Style Records (formerly known as Dogghouse Records) is an American record label founded by Rapper Snoop Dogg in 1995. It is named after Snoop's 1993 debut album, Doggystyle.
On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc. was registered with the California Secretary of State as business entity number C1923139. After Snoop Dogg was acquitted of murder charges on February 20, 1996, he and the mother of his son and their kennel of 20 pit bulls moved into a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) home in the hills of Claremont, California and by August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed The Gap Band's Charlie Wilson as one of the record label's first artists. The record label was founded by Snoop Dogg at the end of his self-described "servitude" at Master P's No Limit Records. The idea of an independent record label came up when Snoop left Death Row earlier than finishing his second album Tha Doggfather. Although completing it by himself and producing the tracks alone, the vision of his own label remained unrealised. Much advertising was done by Snoop in interviews, as well as wearing "Dogghouse-branded" leather jackets and jewelry made in the shape of the Doggy Style Records logo. Finally it was independently founded in late 1999/early 2000. It started as a place to house many artists that had ties with Snoop in the past but were not currently signed to a label, as well as some newcomers. However, Snoop only used the label for his own releases, and as a result many artists left. For a time, though, several former Death Row artists who collaborated with Snoop in the early '90s were signed to the label. Its main purpose is still to endorse all copyrights for the recorded song from then on.
I never said that you had to offer the world to me
I didn't think that you could, no
I can't recall asking you to promise these things to
I didn't think that you should, no
No one could ever persuade me from comin' around too
Long
Even though it sounds, sounds so good
But good is only as good as {How much you give me,
Boy}
But there is not too much that I can see, what
Happened
What happened to the way (We used to be)
You used to love me, baby (Yeah)
I wish down deep to find a way (To bring it back to
No chance for love (When there's no guarantee)
My mother said we need to wait
I wish that we could find a way (To bring it back to
You promised me Saturn, Venus and Mars
But all I got was bulls*** and a fallen star (Fallen
Star)
Out of this world (Yeah...), galaxy so far (So far)
Constellation tells me it's not from the heart
Something tells me it's not really (Meant to be you
And me)
Boy, you kill me with those silly (Games you play)
So I prepare myself for the worse, so when it comes
I will surely understand, but please tell me, what
Happened
What happened to the way (We used to be)
You used to love me, baby (Hey...)
I wish down deep to find a way (To bring it back to
No chance for love (When there's no guarantee)
My mother said we need to wait
I wish that we could find a way (You promised me)
You promised me Saturn, Venus and Mars
But all I got was bulls*** and a fallen star (Out of
This world)
Out of this world, galaxy so far (Oh...)
Constellation tells me it's not from the heart (You
Promised me)
You promised me Saturn, Venus and Mars
But all I got was bulls*** and a fallen star (Out of
This world)
Out of this world (Galaxy), galaxy (So far) so far (So
Far)
Constellation tells me it's not from the heart (You
Promised me, you promised me)
Something tells me it's not really
Boy, you kill me with those silly
Something tells me it's not really
Boy, you kill me with those silly
Whoa...ho...
Whoa
You promised me, darling
You, you
