Somethin' 4 Tha Mood
DJ Quik Lyrics

This one goes out to my niggas
Dedication to friends

'Cause we be havin to deal with these punk ass bitches
Acknowledging the difficulties of dealing with women

Hey bitch you remember me
Addressing a woman

It's mista DJ Quik from the Westside of the Tree
Introducing himself and where he is from

And you met me at 2000 where I'm brownin'
Recalling a previous encounter with the woman

That's where me and the PPC were just clownin'
Recollecting a fun time in the past with friends

Doin' what we had to do to get by
Doing what was necessary to survive

No money in my pocket but I was still fly
Despite being broke, he maintained his style

Curled to my neck but I got respect
Referring to his hairstyle while emphasizing his self-respect

And now I stack fat sacks and ride around in a Lex
Going from being broke to accumulating wealth and ride in a Lexus

And oh my bitch how you changed
Commenting on how different the woman has become

I see you rubbin' all on my dick and it's feelin' kinda strange
Not being accustomed to the woman's new behavior towards him

'Cause then you wouldn't even walk me around the block
Recalling how the woman wouldn't even be seen in public with him

But now your tryin' to throw me that toe up cock
Indicating the woman is now interested in being sexually intimate with him

I wouldn't touch you with a ten-foot pole
Making it clear that he is not interested in the woman

I gots to keep the P in it baby, muthafuck you hoes
Refusing to engage in relations with women and focusing on himself

But open up wide if you given up head
Suggesting that the woman should perform oral sex on him

Because, close mouths don't get fed
Highlighting the importance of asking for what one wants

I'm talking to punk ass, trick ass, nuttin' ass bitches
Addressing women who he has negative opinions about

What's the name of your perfume Vicious?
Asking the woman what perfume she is wearing

Hoes ain't shit, ain't gon' be, aint never will be
Expressing a negative view of women in general

And I'ma make you feel bad that you fucked me
Promising to make the woman regret sleeping with him

So fast-forward tricks this is strictly for my dogs
Skipping over women to focus solely on male friends

Ballin' like a muthafucka ragtop hogs
Having fun and living freely with his friends

And El Cos keep rollin to this gangsta shit
Continuing to drive around listening to gangster music

And when I'm feelin' like being bothered with you bitches
Avoiding situations that involve women if possible

I'm givin ya
Offering something instead of engaging with women

Somethin' for tha mood
Offering something to get people in the right mood

Somethin' to get you in the groove
Providing something to make people feel good

So sip that cognac at get back
Having a drink and relaxing

'Cause that's just what I'm doin'
Explaining what he is doing

What about my bitch on my lap?
Referencing a woman sitting on his lap

Now it's 5:15 and I'm thinking about niggas Playa Hamm
Thinking about his friends at an early hour of the day

Mr. Shabby Bleu and Big Jam
Naming his friends he is thinking about

Hamm's at Gina's so I hit him on my mobile
Contacting his friend via phone

87 Sprint him so you know I gots to flow
Driving his 1987 Plymouth while listening to music

Yo what's up nigga
Greeting his friend

Yo same ol' playa
Conversing about nothing new

Got some tendas, meet me over at Gina's a little later
Making plans with his friend

Hook it up mobbin' through with D and a couple of half G's
Driving through with a couple friends and some money on hand

So is you down for the skeaze?
Asking if his friend is interested in sexual encounters

I'm on my way
Responding affirmatively to his friend's request

Now the bitches at Gina's they all wanna see me
Expecting to see women when he gets to Gina's

Put my telephone down for the LAPD
Ignoring a call from the police while driving

They passed me, I pass them, and they didn't even trip
Driving past the police without an issue

Now I'm doin' 55 over the Arlington Dip
Speeding down a road called the Arlington Dip

In my Lex-o rollin' got me feelin' superior
Driving his Lexus, feeling confident

With the funky white pearl and black leather interior
Describing the colors of his car's exterior and interior

My niggas in my truck, we ain't givin' a fuck
Hanging out with his friends, not caring about anyone else

We carried a very face pace to 42nd place
Racing to a location called 42nd place

Snoop Dogg blew it and headed back to the strip
Recalling a time when Snoop Dogg made a mistake and had to turn back

In the left hand turnin' lane niggas steppin' on trick
Observing someone else making a mistake while driving

Bust a right on Normande, the bitches blow for me
Taking a right turn and seeing women looking at him

But I don't pay 'em no mind 'cause they come second to my homies
Prioritizing his male friends over the women

Hit the spot and bail but I don't step in the mud
Going to a location and avoiding getting dirty

Walk up in the living room where it's smellin' like bud
Entering a room where there is a strong smell of marijuana

In the kitchen where it ain't no drinks but a gang a food
Noticing there is plenty of food but no drinks in the kitchen

Ah, let me pop the trunk 'cause I bought a little.
Opening his car trunk to retrieve something he purchased

Now I dips to the studio to listen to the hits
Going to the studio to listen to music

2nd II None workin' on some brand new shit
Referring to another music group he knows that is working on new material

And it's tighter that a muthafucka got that swang
Praising the new music because of how good it sounds

While Big J try to take a nigga straight to Beighjing
Jokingly suggesting that they are going to China

But I pass on the bud, I mash on the brew
Choosing not to smoke marijuana, preferring to drink beer instead

Genuine Draft for my muthafuckin' crew
Drinking Miller Genuine Draft beer with his friends

Tashe's chillin', China just trippin
Naming some of the people who are present with him and their actions

Chris engineering and Bacon and George sippin'
Naming a few more people who are there and what they are doing

So listenin' to this track makes you understand
Implying that the music they are listening to is enlightening

Why niggas still can't fuck with the one-man band
Boasting about his musical abilities

Got my dark lokes clean with the P on my crown
Wearing clean sunglasses with a P on them

And my black leather trench to the muthafuckin' grown
Wearing a black leather coat that he is proud of

And I'm faded, knowin' I don't wanna drive drunk
Becoming intoxicated and making the decision not to drive while drunk

In case I get jacked got my shit in the trunk
Knowing that his belongings are safe in the trunk of his car

Now I might have been swerving but I made it to the tent
Admitting to possibly being drunk but still arriving at his destination

Just another day in the life of Quik
Summing up his day-to-day life

I'm givin ya
Offering something

Somethin' for tha mood
Providing something to fit a certain mood

Somethin' to get you in the groove
Giving something to help someone relax and feel good

So sip that cognac at get back
Suggesting to have a drink and relax

'Cause that's just what I'm doin' (ya know)
Explaining what he is doing

What about my bitch on my lap?
Referencing a woman sitting on his lap
