Nuthin But A G Thang
Dr. Dre Feat. Snoop Doggy Dog Lyrics

One, two, three and to the fo'
Counting down before the start of the song

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre are at the do'
Introducing the two artists who are creating the song

Ready to make an entrance, so back on up [or you know im'a have to rip shit up]
The artists are ready to start performing and asking the crowd to give them space

Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Dr. Dre wants the mic first so that he can perform and entertain to the best of his abilities

Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
The two cities in California, Compton and Long Beach, are joining forces to create a powerful performance

Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baaaaabay!
The artists are expressing that they are not doing anything fancy but just performing their own style of music

Two loced out niggas we're craaaaazay!
The two artists are unique and different from others in the music industry

Death Row is the label that paaaaays me!
The record label that sponsors the artists is Death Row, which is helping them make a name for themselves

Unfadable, so please don't try to fade this [Hell yeah]
The artists are confident in their skill, and they don't want anyone to underestimate them

But, i'm, back to the lecture at hand Perfection is perfected, so I'm a land 'em, understand?
Dr. Dre is getting back to the song's main point and saying that he is a perfectionist and everything he does is well thought out

From a young G's perspective And before me dig out a trick I have ta' find a contraceptive
The song is from a youngster's perspective, and he shares his view on how he would prefer to enjoy his time but takes precautions to avoid any unwanted situations

You never know she could be earnin' her man, Learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
Women can sometimes lead double lives, which can put their relationship at risk

Now you know i ain't with that shit luietenat 'Cause ain't no lovin' good enough to get burned while I'm up in it [Yeah]
The artist is straightforward about his views on love and relationships and doesn't want to hurt himself in the process

Now that's realer than real-deal Holyfield And now all you hookas and ho's know how I feel
The artist is getting real and expressing his emotions, and he's asking all the listeners to pay attention

Well if it's good enough to give 'em all a proper chunk I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
The artist is saying that if an opportunity is good enough, he will take a chance and wants to be a part of it

It's like this and like that and like this and uh It's like that and like this and like that and uh
The song's chorus - the artists are saying that it's their own style, and they have no control over how their sound is perceived by others

Dre., creep to the mic like a phantom Well I'm peepin', and I'm creepin', and I'm creep-in'
The artist is playing with his words and describing his entry into the song

But I damn near got capped, 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
The artist's beeper distracted him, and he almost missed his part

Now it's time for me to make my impression felt So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
It's the artist's turn to perform and for the listeners to enjoy the ride

You never been on a ride like this befo' With a producer who can rap and control the micro
The artist is confident that the listeners are about to experience something new and exciting with a talented producer

At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick You know, and I know, I funks up on funky sh-[yeah]
The artist is boasting about his skills and how he excels at creating unique tunes

Symbolizes dope, take a tope but don't choke If ya' do, ya' have no clue
The artist's music is so unique that if the listener doesn't understand, then it's not the artist's fault

O' what me and my homey Snoop Dogg came to do
The two artists came together to create something spectacular

It's like this, and we ain't got no love for those So jus' chill, 'til the next episode
The artists disregard those who are not a part of their music or those who dislike them and move on

Fallin' back on that ass with a hellified gangsta' lean Gettin' funky on the mic like a' old batch o' collard greens
The artists are expressing their style and keeping it original while performing

It's the capital S, oh yes, the fresh N double O P D O double G Y D O double G ya' see
Snoop is introducing himself to the listeners - his name has a capital S, he's fresh and can't be beaten

Hippin' ho's and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite Yeah, and it don't quit
The artist is explaining his success and how he's doing well in the industry and that he's not stopping anytime soon

I think they in a mood for some mathaf**k'n g shit
The audience is ready for some real gangster music

We gotta give 'em what dey want [What's that, G?] We gotta break 'em off somethin' [Hell yeah] And it's gotta be bumpin' [City of Compton!]
The artists are determined to give the audience what they came for - some gangster music that will make them dance and enjoy themselves

It's where it's explained, so I'm a ask your attention Mind like a mathaf**ka but i ain't linchin
The artist is emphasizing how important the song is, and he's asking the listeners to pay close attention

Droppin' the funky tracks is makin' the suckas niggas mumble When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
The artist is performing so good that it's making the listeners speechless and amazed

Try to get close, and you're ass i'll get smacked My mathaf**kn homey Snoop Doggy Dogg has got my back
The artist is warning those who try to mess with him, and he's confident that his friend Snoop Dog will always have his back

But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin' And I'm a continue to put the rap down, put the mac down
The artist is saying that he's always ready to defend himself and will continue to create his style of music and entertainment

And if you bitches talk shit, I have ta' put the smack down
Anyone who badmouths the artist is in for a fight or an argument

Yeah, and ya' 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 'til the break dawn C O M P T O N, and the city they call Long Beach Puttin' the shit together Like my homey D.O.C., no one can do it better
The artist is confident in his skills and how he can blend music from two different cities and put them together. His artistic expression is not taken lightly, and he's always working towards perfection

Like this, that and this and uh
The song's chorus, continuing its meaning of their inability to control their sound
