Nuthin’ But A G Thang
Dr Dre feat Snoop Dog Lyrics

One, two, three and to the fo'
Counting up to four to start the song

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

Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
They are about to start the show, so people should give them space

('Cause you know about to rip shit up)
Their performance will be energetic and exciting

Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Dre wants to start rapping so he can deliver a powerful performance

Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
When these two areas come together, they create a force to be reckoned with

Ain't nothin' but a "G" thang, baby!
Their style is that of a gangster, or a "G"

Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy!
They are both crazy and intense in their delivery

Death Row is the label that pays me!
They are signed to Death Row Records, which is their source of income

Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
Their style and skill cannot be undermined or diminished

But uh, back to the lecture at hand
They are going back to the subject at hand

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

From a young G's perspective
Dre is rapping from the perspective of a young gangster

And before me dig out a bitch I have to find a contraceptive
Before having sex, he makes sure to use protection

You never know she could be earnin' her man
The woman he is with could be in a relationship already

And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
She could be cheating on her man and getting caught

Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
He is not interested in getting involved with women who are cheating

Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
He will not risk getting a sexually transmitted infection

(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
His commitment to safe sex is very serious

And now you hooka's and ho's know how I feel
He is making his stance on the matter very clear

Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
If the woman is worth sleeping with, he will do it safely

I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
He will take a small amount of pleasure if it can be done safely

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
The beat and rhythm of the song repeats in this pattern

It's like that and like this and like that and uh
The beat and rhythm of the song repeats in this pattern

Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
Dre approaches the microphone with a stealthy, confident manner

Well I'm peepin', and I'm creepin', and I'm creep-in'
Dre is watching and observing as he prepares to perform

But I damn near got caught, 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
He almost got caught because his pager kept going off

Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
It is time for Dre to deliver his memorable performance

So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
The performance will be exciting and intense, so spectators should prepare themselves

You never been on a ride like this before
This experience will be truly unique and exciting

With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
Dre is both a producer and a skilled rapper, and he is in control of the music

At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
He is rapping in a way that is both impressive and creative

You know, and I know, I flow some ol' funky shit
He knows that his style is innovative and impressive

To add to my collection, the selection
He is adding this performance to his repertoire of impressive work

Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
The performance is so impressive that it is like a drug

If you do, you'll have no clue
If you can't handle the intensity, you won't be able to appreciate it fully

On what me and my homey Snoop Dogg came to do
This performance is a collaboration between Dre and Snoop Dogg

And who gives a fuck about those?
He doesn't care what anyone else thinks, he is focused on delivering a great performance

So just chill, 'til the next episode
This performance is just one part of their overall body of work

Fallin' back on that ass, with a hellified gangsta lean
He is assuming a gangster-like posture as he raps

Gettin' funky on the mic like a ol' batch of collard greens
He is delivering a funky and impressive performance

It's the capital S, oh yes I'm fresh, N double-O P
He is introducing himself as Snoop Dogg, a fresh and impressive rapper

D O double-G Y, D O double-G, ya see
He is spelling out his name, which is iconic in the world of rap

Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
He is confident and impressive when performing

Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
He is making money and gaining fame in the world of rap

Yeah, and it don't quit
His success and skill are ongoing

I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit
The audience is ready for some intense gangster rap

So Dre, (What up Dog?)
Snoop is addressing Dre

Gotta give 'em what they want (What's that, G?)
They need to deliver what the audience wants, which is intense gangster rap

We gotta break 'em off somethin' (Hell yeah)
They need to deliver something impressive and unique

And it's gotta be bumpin' (City of Compton!)
The music needs to be intense and impressive, representing the city of Compton

It's where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
Compton is where the action is, so people should pay attention and listen closely

Mobbin' like a motherfucker, but I ain't lynchin'
He is moving with a lot of energy and intensity, but not engaging in violence towards others

Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
His music is so impressive that it is making other rappers feel inferior

When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
His performance is so impressive that it is causing others to fail

Try to get close, and your ass'll get smacked
He is warning others not to try and interfere with his success

My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Snoop Dogg is supporting Dre and making sure he succeeds

Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
Snoop is making sure that Dre never fails or messes up

But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
If he has his gun, he is ready for anything that might happen

And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
He will continue to make great music and gain fame and success

And if your bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
If anyone talks badly about him or his music, he will take action to defend himself

Yeah, and you don't stop
His success and skill will never stop

I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
He is consistent and reliable in his success and skill

But I'm never off, always on, to the break of dawn
He is always working and performing, even late into the night

C-O-M-P-T-O-N, and the city they call Long Beach
These are the areas of California that they represent

Puttin' the shit together
They are working together to make incredible music

Like my nigga D.O.C., "No One Can Do It Better"
Their collaborator D.O.C. is known for his impressive skills, and they are working with him to make something incredible

And who gives a fuck about those?
They don't care what others think or say, they are focused on their own success

So just chill, 'til the next episode
This is just one part of their ongoing career, and there will be more great music to come
