Nuthin' but a G Thang
Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg Lyrics

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

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do'
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are present and ready to start the song

Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
They are prepared to begin their performance and want everyone to give them space

('Cause you know about to rip shit up)
They are going to impress everyone with their performance

Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Dr. Dre wants to start the song and show his rhyming skills

Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
The collaboration of Compton and Long Beach is powerful and should not be underestimated

Ain't nothin' but a "G" thang, baby!
They are two gangster rappers and this song is about their style

Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy!
They are two crazy guys who have a lot of street credibility

Death Row is the label that pays me!
The record label they are signed to is very successful and pays them well

Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
Their skill level is unbeatable, so don't try to criticize them

But uh, back to the lecture at hand
Dr. Dre is getting back to talking about the subject of the song

Perfection is perfected, so I'ma let 'em understand
Their style is perfect and they want everyone to understand that

From a young G's perspective
Dr. Dre is speaking from the point of view of a young gangster

And before me dig out a bitch I have ta' find a contraceptive
Dr. Dre is responsible and uses protection before having sex

You never know she could be earnin' her man
He wants to make sure the woman he is with is not cheating on her partner

And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
The woman could be learning from Dr. Dre while also cheating on her partner

Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
Dr. Dre is not interested in women who are cheating or being disloyal

Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
Dr. Dre won't have sex with a woman unless he is sure he won't get a sexually transmitted infection

(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
Dr. Dre is being honest and straightforward in his lyrics

And now you hooka's and ho's know how I feel
Dr. Dre is telling women that he won't be with them if they cheat or are unfaithful

Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
If something is worth getting, they will go after it

I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
They want a taste of something good

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Referring to the flow of the song and how it changes

It's like that and like this and like that and uh
Referring to the flow of the song and how it changes

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Referring to the flow of the song and how it changes

Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
Dr. Dre is approaching the microphone in a stealthy way

Well I'm peepin', and I'm creepin', and I'm creep-in
Dr. Dre is approaching the microphone carefully and quietly

But I damn near got caught, 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
Dr. Dre was almost caught by someone trying to reach him through his beeper

Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
Dr. Dre is about to show off his skills and make an impact

So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
The listener should be prepared for a wild ride and to enjoy the song

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
Dr. Dre is confident in his ability to create funky, cool music

To add to my collection, the selection
This song is going to be added to his collection of great music

Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
Referring to the quality of the music and the fact that it's great to listen to, but don't overdo it

If you do, you'll have no clue

On what me and my homey Snoop Dogg came to do
Referring to the collaborative effort of Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in making this song

And who gives a fuck about hoes?
They don't care about women who cheat or are unfaithful

So just chill, 'til the next episode

Fallin' back on that ass, with a hellified gangsta lean
Referring to a cool and confident stance

Gettin' funky on the mic like a ol' batcha' collard greens
Referring to the funky, cool rhymes they are laying down

It's the capital S, oh yes I'm fresh, N double-O P
Snoop Dogg is introducing himself as a fresh, cool rapper from Long Beach

D O double-G Y, D O double-G, ya see
Snoop Dogg is spelling out his name for everyone to know

Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic

Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
Snoop Dogg is bragging about his success with women and making money

Yeah, and it don't quit
Snoop Dogg's success and coolness will never stop

I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit
The listeners are in the mood for some hardcore, gangster rap

We gotta break 'em off somethin' (Hell yeah)
They have to deliver a great song, and the audience will love it

And it's gotta be bumpin' (City of Compton!)
The song has to be great and represent their hometown

It's where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
Referring to the importance of representing where they're from through their music

Mobbin' like a motherfucker, but I ain't lynchin'
They are moving like a group of gangsters, but they aren't committing any violent acts

Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
They are delivering cool and impressive rhymes that others can't match

When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
When Snoop Dogg raps, everyone else's rhymes fall apart in comparison

Try to get close, and your ass'll get smacked
They are warning anyone who tries to challenge them

My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Dr. Dre knows that Snoop Dogg will support him and defend him

Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
Snoop Dogg will never let Dr. Dre fail or make mistakes

But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
Snoop Dogg can become violent if he is provoked or threatened

And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
Snoop Dogg will continue to create great music and impress others

And if yo bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
Snoop Dogg will defend himself and others if they are talked about negatively

Yeah, and you don't stop
Their success and impressive rhyming skills will never 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
