Nuthin' But A G Thang
Dr.Dre Ft Snoop Dogg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door
Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
('Cause you know we're 'bout to rip shit up)
Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby
Two loc'ed out niggas, so we're crazy
Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this (hell yeah)
But, uh, back to the lecture at hand
Perfection is perfected, so I'ma let 'em understand
From a young G's perspective
And before me dig out a bitch, I have to find a contraceptive
You never know, she could be earnin' her man
And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
And now you hookers and hoes know how I feel
Well, if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
Well, I'm peepin' and I'm creepin' and I'm creepin'
But I damn near got capped 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
You never been on a ride like this before
With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
You know and I know, I flow some ol' funky shit
To add to my collection, the selection
Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
If you do, you'll have no clue
Of what me and my homie Snoop Dogg came to do
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this
And who gives a fuck about those?
So just chill 'til the next episode
Fallin' back on that ass with a hellified gangsta lean
Gettin' funky on the mic like a old batch of collard greens
It's the capital S, oh, yes, I'm fresh, N-double-O-P
D-O-double-G-Y, D-O-double-G, ya see
Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
Yeah, and it don't quit
I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit (hell yeah)
So, Dre (what up, Dog?)
Gotta give 'em what they want (what's that, G?)
We gotta break 'em off somethin' (hell yeah)
And it's gotta be bumpin' (city of Compton)
Is where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
Mobbin' like a motherfucker, but I ain't lynchin'
Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
Try to get close and your ass'll get smacked
My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
And if you bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
Yeah, and you don't stop
I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
But I'm never off, always on to the break of dawn
C-O-M-P-T-O-N, and the city they call Long Beach
Puttin' the shit together
Like my nigga D.O.C., "No One Can Do It Better"
Like this, that and this and uh
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this
And who gives a fuck about those?
So just chill 'til the next episode
You've got the feelin'
Rock the other side
You've got the feelin' (yeah, yeah)
You've got the feelin'
Rock the other side
You've got the feelin' (yeah, yeah)
You've got the feelin'
Rock the other side
You've got the feelin' (yeah, yeah)

But, uh, back to the lecture at hand
Let's get back to the topic at hand
Perfection is perfected, so I'ma let 'em understand
I'm perfecting my craft and want others to understand it
From a young G's perspective
I'm giving my perspective as a young 'gangster'
And before me dig out a bitch, I have to find a contraceptive
Before engaging in sexual activity, I need to find a way to prevent pregnancy
You never know, she could be earnin' her man
She might be in a relationship and her partner could be providing for her
And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
She could be cheating on her partner while he's at home working hard
Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
I don't support cheating and won't engage in it
Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
No sexual experience is worth getting an STD for
(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
This is truth, not fiction
And now you hookers and hoes know how I feel
I'm letting prostitutes and promiscuous women know how I feel about cheating
Well, if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
If something is substantial enough to be worth my time and effort
I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
I'll take a little bit of what's being offered
It's like this and like that and like this and uh

But I damn near got capped 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
My pager almost blew my cover because it kept going off
Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
I'm going to leave my mark with this performance
So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
Get ready for this wild ride
You never been on a ride like this before
You've never heard anything like this before
With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
With a producer who can both rap and produce music at the same time
At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
And with the amazing rhymes that I'm spitting out
You know and I know, I flow some ol' funky shit
You know and I know that my rhymes are old school and funky
To add to my collection, the selection
This is another addition to my collection of incredible music
Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
This music is amazing, take it in slowly and enjoy it
If you do, you'll have no clue
If you try to take it all in at once, you won't be able to absorb it all
Of what me and my homie Snoop Dogg came to do
You won't be able to fully understand our mission and goals
It's like this
This is how it is
And who gives a fuck about those?
We don't care about what others think
So just chill 'til the next episode
Relax and wait for the next part
Fallin' back on that ass with a hellified gangsta lean
We're falling back and chilling like true gangsters
Gettin' funky on the mic like a old batch of collard greens
We're delivering some funky rhymes, like an old batch of collard greens
It's the capital S, oh, yes, I'm fresh, N-double-O-P
I'm Snoop Dogg, with a capital S, and I'm fresh
D-O-double-G-Y, D-O-double-G, ya see
I'm Snoop Dogg, which is spelled D-O-double-G-Y or D-O-double-G
Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
I'm showing off my skills when it's time to perform
Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
I'm hustling and making money like a true pimp and hustler
Yeah, and it don't quit
I'm not stopping anytime soon
I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit (hell yeah)
I think they're ready for some hardcore gangster music
So, Dre (what up, Dog?)
So, Dre, what's up?
Gotta give 'em what they want (what's that, G?)
We have to give the people what they want
We gotta break 'em off somethin' (hell yeah)
We're going to give them something amazing
And it's gotta be bumpin' (city of Compton)
It has to be incredible, like the city of Compton
Is where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
The music is happening in Compton, so pay attention
Mobbin' like a motherfucker, but I ain't lynchin'
We're hanging out and partying, but we're not going to harm anyone
Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
We're delivering some great music that's causing some people to talk behind our backs
When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
My rhymes are so incredible, they can't stand up to them
Try to get close and your ass'll get smacked
If anyone tries to mess with us, they'll get a rude awakening
My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Snoop Dogg always has my back
Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
Snoop Dogg never lets me down or lets me make a mistake
But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
But if I have my gun, you know I'm ready to do some wild things
And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
I'm going to keep rapping and hustling
And if you bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
If anyone talks bad about me or my music, I'll have to take action
Yeah, and you don't stop
This amazing music will never stop
I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
I'm consistent like a clock
But I'm never off, always on to the break of dawn
But I keep going, always until morning
C-O-M-P-T-O-N, and the city they call Long Beach
This music is representing Compton and Long Beach
Puttin' the shit together
We're bringing it all together
Like my nigga D.O.C., "No One Can Do It Better"
Just like my friend D.O.C says, no one can do it better
Like this, that and this and uh
We're continuing to explain it in this way and that way
You've got the feeling
You know what I'm talking about
Rock the other side
Let's keep the music going all night long
You've got the feelin' (yeah, yeah)
You know what I'm talking about
