(Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now

It's ya Eastside partner, Big Snoopy D-O
Turned like D-Lo, catch me on your TiVo
Long Beach with me, the city and the turf chump
Get turf stomped, fuckin' with the turf punk
I'm geeked up, I'm on my tip ho
Turn it up bitch, what you here for?
I'm goin all in, that's what I do
My little niggas jerkin', what's up with you?
This little rappin' ass, niggas tappin' out
I'm almost twenty in, the fuck you rappin' 'bout?!
My niggas peeled up, the homeys growin' big
I'm all in the club rollin' twenty crips
You see a G, you better know the deal
You see the colorss fool, I'm in the streets for real
I'm giggin' on these hoes, do 'em like dominos
I slam 'em on they back, and tell 'em, vamanos

I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now
I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now
I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now (Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg)
I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now (Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now

I see 'em comin huh, that's what I heard em say
The .38 the same color's the Chevrolets'
501s' on, gangsta lookin' good
I'm in the club homes, Chuck'n up the hood
We the West boy, yeah you see the shirt
Smokin' on that Kobe, fuckin' wit that purp
I gotta get 'er mayne, baby hella thick
She said her name was Seven, call me Michael Vick
'Cause I'm a dog, ho, give 'em the dick and dash
Fuck whatchu called fo', if I ain't hit that ass
I'm Snoopy D-O-Dubb, I get it poppin' 'cause
And when I'm in the buildin', they get to poppin' up
They get to spendin' cash, screamin' T.I.U
Now gon' Turn It Up, lil' mama look at you!
I'm giggin on these hoes, do 'em like dominoes
And slam 'em on they back, and tell 'em vamanos

I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now (Snoop Dogg)
I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now (Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now
(Hey, hey, hey, hey) I wanna rock right now, rock-rock-right now

Boss Dogg chillin', lookin' like a million
Yeah, nigga got it, I'ma leave it to my children
Tonight I'm on some other shit, and baby lovin' it
Hella fast, grip the ass like a oven mitt
I'm gooned up, boy! Rich as fuck, boy!
Black and gold brakes, that's my truck, boy
I'm on my Eastside, shit I'm workin'
I got the party goin, and it's jerkin'
My niggas all long, we rollin' out thick
Hoes gettin' in, you betta' pick a bitch
'Cause when I shut it down, the party's over with
She call me Superman, I'm on my Soulja shit (you)
Boss Dogg, get 'em, I sick 'em and take 'em home
West Coast bitch, I'm on my fuckin' throne
I'm giggin' on these hoes, do 'em like dominoes
And slam 'em on they back, and tell 'em vamanos

He boasts about his influence in the club scene and how much money he is spending, encouraging others to follow his lead. Akon joins him in the chorus, expressing his desire to "rock right now" and be the center of attention.


The song portrays a typical rap stereotype of excessive partying, drug use, and objectification of women.

Overall, "I Wanna" is a confident and boastful anthem for those who want to live it up and enjoy the spotlight.

In India, we used to play this song on full volume like 10 or 11 years ago. Rarely anybody ever knew 'f*ck' was actually an abusive word. Also, except foreign returns nobody here has ever visited a strip club, so no one knew who is grinding what, who is moving around what pole etc. Everyone loved the tune and what you call flow of the song.

So true! Even school kids had it on their mp3 players!
