Regulate
Dogg Nate Lyrics

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
The night is clear with a white moon shining bright.

Warren G. is on the streets, trying to consume
Warren G. is out on the streets trying to find fun.

Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some funk
Looking for girls for the night to have some fun.

Just rollin' in my ride, chillin all alone
Just driving around in my car, enjoying my own company.

Just hit the eatside of the L.B.C.
Just reached the east side of Long Beach.

On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
Trying to locate Warren G. in the area.

Seen a car full of skirts ain't no need to tweak
Saw a car full of girls, no need to overthink.

All you skirts know what's up with 213
Girls know what the deal is with 213, the area code.

So I hooks a left on the 21 to Lewis
Made a left turn on the 21 to reach Lewis.

Some brothas shootin dice so I said "let's do this"
Saw some guys playing dice, joined in on the game.

I jumped out the ride, and said"what's up?"
Got out of the car and greeted the guys.

Some brothas pulled some gats so I said "I'm stuck"
Some guys brought out guns, and I was stuck in a bad situation.

Since these girls peepin me I'ma glide and swerve
Since the girls are watching me, I'll show off my car, gliding and swerving.

These hookers lookin so hard they straight hit the curb
The girls are staring too hard, and they hit the curb with their car.

Gonna think of better things than some horny tricks
Going to think of better things than just hooking up with girls.

I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix
Saw my friend surrounded by some enemies.

I'm gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself
I'm getting robbed, they're taking everything from me.

I can't believe they're taking Warren's wealth
Can't believe they're stealing Warren's money.

They took my rings, they took my rolex
They took my jewelry and watch.

I looked at the brothas and said "damn, what's next?"
Looking at them, wondering what they'll do next.

They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
They've got my friend cornered, surrounded by all of them.

Ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
None of them realizing they might get beaten by us in a fight.

I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown
I need to react fast before they start to joke around.

I besta pull out my strap and lay them busters down
I should pull out my gun and shoot them all down.

They got guns to my head
They're pointing guns at my head.

I think I'm going down
I think I'm going to die.

I can't believe this happened in my home town
Can't believe this happened in my own neighborhood.

If I had wings I would fly
If I had a way out, I'd take it and fly away.

Let me contemplate
Let me think for a moment.

I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Nate
Looked around and saw my friend Nate nearby.

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Got sixteen bullets loaded and one still to load.

Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Nate Dogg is about to kill some people.

Now they droppin and yellin
Now they're falling down and screaming.

It's a tad bit late
It's a bit too late for them.

Nate Dogg and Warren G. had to regulate
Nate Dogg and Warren G. had to take control of the situation.

I laid all them busters down
I shot and killed all of them.

I let my gat explode
I fired my gun.

Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
Now I'm switching my mindset back to having fun with girls.

If you want skirts step back and observe
If you want to see some girls, stand back and watch.

I just left a gang of those over there on the curb
Just left a group of girls behind on the street corner.

Now Nate got the freaks
Now Nate has the girls.

And that's a known fact
That's a well-known truth.

Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Before I was robbed, I was looking for the same thing.

Back up back up 'cause it's on
Step back because it's about to get serious.

N-A-T-E and me
Nate and I, we're together.

The Warren to the G
Warren G, it's me.

Just like I thought
Just as I expected.

They were in the same spot
They were in the same place we were.

In need of some desperate help
They needed help in a bad way.

The Nate Dogg and the G-child
Nate Dogg and me, we're here to help.

Were in need of something else
We needed something else to do.

One of them dames was sexy as hell
One of the girls was incredibly attractive.

I said "ooh I like your size"
I said she was perfect, in terms of looks.

She said "my car's broke down and you seem real nice,"
She says her car broke down, and I seem like a good guy.

"would you let me ride?"
"Can you give me a ride?"

I got a car full of girls and it's going real swell
I've got a car full of girls and everything's going well.

The next stop is the east side motel
Heading to a motel on the east side.

I'm tweaking
I'm feeling great/good.

Onto a whole new level
Taking things to the next level.

G-Funk
Referring to the G-funk music style.

Stept towards
To take a step towards something.

I dare ya
I challenge you to do something.

Funk
Referring to the funky beat/style of music.

On a whole new level
On a completely new level of greatness.

The rythmn is the base and the base is the treble
The rhythm is the foundation and the pattern is the melodic tune.

Chords
Musical chords.

Strings
Musical strings.

We brings
We bring with us.

Melody
The melodic tune of our music.

G-Funk
Referring again to the G-funk music style.

Where rythmn is life
Where rhythm is everything.

And life is rythmn
And everything moves on rhythm.

If you know like I know
If you know what I know.

You don't want to step to this
Don't try to compete with what we have.

It's the G-Funk era
This is the time of the G-Funk music and culture.

Funked out with a gangster twist
Funky music style with a hint of gangster lifestyle.

If you smoke like I smoke
If you smoke marijuana like me.

Then you high like everyday
Then you're high every day.

And if your ass is a buster
If you're a weakling.

213 will regulate
213 (referring to Long Beach area code) will take control over the situation.
