Nuthin
Dr.Dre Lyrics

One, two, three and to the four
The song is starting with a countdown.

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door
The two rappers have arrived and they're ready to perform.

Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
They're going to make a grand entrance, so everyone should step aside.

('Cause you know we're 'bout to rip shit up)
They're going to perform with a lot of energy.

Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Dr. Dre wants to start performing first.

Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
These two neighborhoods are combining forces, which is a warning to anyone who threatens them.

Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby
The song is all about being a gangster.

Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy
The rappers are crazy and intense.

Death Row is the label that pays me
Dr. Dre is signed with Death Row Records.

Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this (hell yeah)
The rappers are unfadeable, meaning they won't disappear or fade away.

But, uh, back to the lecture at hand
They're returning to their central message of being gangsters.

Perfection is perfected, so I'ma let 'em understand
They're striving for perfection in their music and they want their listeners to understand that.

From a young G's perspective
They're speaking from the perspective of a young gangster.

And before me dig out a bitch I have to find a contraceptive
Before they have sex, they want to ensure the woman is taking birth control.

You never know, she could be earnin' her man
They're reminding the listener that the woman they're with may be in a relationship.

And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
The woman may be cheating on her man with them.

Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
They're not okay with cheating on someone else's partner.

Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
They don't want to get an STD from any woman they're with.

(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
They're being truthful about their intentions and priorities.

And now you hookers and hoes know how I feel
They're directly talking to any women who work in sex work.

Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
If the woman is good enough in bed, they may give her some cash.

I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
They're trying to get with women who are good in bed.

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
They're telling a story and adding to it along the way.

It's like that and like this and like that and uh
They're continuing to build up their story.

Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
Dr. Dre is approaching the mic.

Well I'm peepin' and I'm creepin' and I'm creepin'
They're monitoring their surroundings and being cautious.

But I damn near got capped 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
They nearly got attacked because their beeper was making noise.

Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
They're going to make an impact with their performance.

So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
They want their listeners to sit back and prepare for their music.

You never been on a ride like this before
They're going to take their listeners on a new journey.

With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
They're emphasizing Dr. Dre's skills as a producer.

At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
Dr. Dre is multi-talented as a rapper and producer.

You know and I know, I flow some ol' funky shit
They're confident in their abilities to create good music.

To add to my collection, the selection
They're always looking to add to their musical collection.

Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
The music represents drugs and listeners can enjoy it, but not get too carried away with it.

If you do, you'll have no clue
If a listener gets too caught up in the music, they won't be able to think clearly.

Of what me and my homie Snoop Dogg came to do
They're focused on making good music with Snoop Dogg.

And who gives a fuck about those?
They don't care about what other people think.

So just chill 'til the next episode
They want their listeners to relax until their next release.

Fallin' back on that ass with a hellified gangsta lean
They're relaxed and comfortable with their gangster lifestyle.

Gettin' funky on the mic like a old batch of collard greens
They're making people dance with their music like they would to a batch of collard greens.

It's the capital S, oh yes I'm fresh, N double-O P
Snoop Dogg is introducing himself with some clever wordplay.

D O double-G Y, D O double-G, ya see
He's emphasizing his name with some more wordplay.

Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
He's confident in his abilities as a rapper.

Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
He's acting like a pimp who earns a lot of money.

Yeah, and it don't quit
He's not going to stop any time soon.

I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit (hell yeah)
He thinks the listeners want to hear more gangster music.

So, Dre (what up Dog?)
He's asking Dr. Dre what he wants to do now.

Gotta give 'em what they want (what's that, G?)
They want to give their listeners what they want, which is more gangster music.

We gotta break 'em off somethin' (hell yeah)
They're going to share something big with their listeners.

And it's gotta be bumpin' (city of Compton)
Their music will be loud and intense, and it's coming from Compton.

Is where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
They're proud of where they're from and want to make sure their listeners know that.

Mobbin' like a motherfucker but I ain't lynchin'
They're moving and behaving aggressively, but not hanging anyone.

Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
Their music is so good that it's making other rappers sound bad.

When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
Their rapping skills are so good that other rappers can't compete.

Try to get close and your ass'll get smacked
They don't want anyone to get too close to them.

My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Snoop Dogg will support Dr. Dre in any situation.

Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
Snoop Dogg won't let Dr. Dre fail.

But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
If Snoop Dogg has a gun, he's confident and prepared.

And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
He will keep writing and performing music and trying to charm women.

And if you bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
If anyone tries to insult or challenge him, he will fight back.

Yeah, and you don't stop
He's not stopping any time soon.

I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
He's consistent and reliable.

But I'm never off, always on to the break of dawn
He will continue performing until the sun comes up.

C-O-M-P-T-O-N, and the city they call Long Beach
They're shouting out their respective cities.

Puttin' the shit together
They're creating good music and combining their talents.

Like my nigga D.O.C., "No One Can Do It Better"
They're referencing another rapper who was successful.

Like this, that and this and uh
They're continuing to tell their story.

So just chill, 'til the next episode
They want their listeners to relax until they release more music.

You've got the feelin'
Their music creates feelings of excitement and enjoyment.

Rock the other side
They're encouraging listeners to dance.

You've got the feelin' (yeah, yeah)
They're emphasizing the good feelings that come from listening to music.
