Regulate
G. Warren Lyrics

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G. drove around in the night with favorable conditions

Warren G. is on the streets, trying to consume
Warren G. is driving around trying to find things to enjoy

Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some funk
Warren G. is looking for girls to have fun with

Just rollin' in my ride, chillin all alone
Warren G. is driving alone and relaxing

Just hit the eastside of the L.B.C.
Warren G. arrived at the east side of Long Beach, California

On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
Warren G. is looking for himself (his identity) in this part of town

Seen a car full of skirts ain't no need to tweak
Warren G. notices a car full of girls and doesn't see the need to be suspicious

All you skirts know what's up with 213
Warren G. suggests that the girls are familiar with the area code of Long Beach

So I hooks a left on the 21 to Lewis
Warren G. turns left on 21st street to get to Lewis street

Some brothas shootin dice so I said "let's do this"
Warren G. decides to gamble with some guys he runs into

I jumped out the ride, and said "what's up?"
Warren G. greets the guys he wants to play dice with

Some brothas pulled some gats so I said "I'm stuck"
Warren G. feels intimidated because some guys pull out their guns

Since these girls peepin me I'ma glide and swerve
Warren G. wants to impress the watching girls so he drives coolly

These hookers lookin so hard they straight hit the curb
The girls are staring so much that they drive off the road

Gonna think of better things than some horny tricks
Warren G. decides to do something more productive instead of searching for girls

I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix
Warren G. spots his friend getting involved with some bad people

I'm gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself
Warren G. realizes he is getting robbed and is willing to give up his valuables

I can't believe they're taking Warren's wealth
Warren G. can't believe he is losing everything of value he has

They took my rings, they took my rolex
The robbers took Warren G.'s jewelry

I looked at the brothas and said "damn, what's next?"
Warren G. realizes he could get killed and wonders what will happen next

They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
The bad people have Warren G.'s friend trapped and surrounded

Ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
The bad guys are so confident that they don't think they need to fight back

I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown
Warren G. needs to figure out a way to rescue his friend before more harm occurs

I besta pull out my strap and lay them busters down
Warren G. decides to use his gun to fight back and take out the bad guys

They got guns to my head
The bad guys are pointing their guns at Warren G.'s head

I think I'm going down
Warren G. is afraid he might die

I can't believe this happened in my home town
Warren G. regrets that such danger could occur in his hometown

If I had wings I would fly
Warren G. wishes he could escape the danger easily

Let me contemplate
Warren G. needs to think about what to do next

I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Nate
Warren G. spots his friend Nate Dogg and hopes he can help

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate is fully loaded with weapons

Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Nate Dogg is going to fight and kill the bad guys

Now they droppin and yellin
The bad guys are falling to the ground and screaming

It's a tad bit late
The danger has passed but it took some time for Nate to help

Nate Dogg and Warren G. had to regulate
Nate and Warren both had to use their weapons and fight to control the situation

I laid all them busters down
Warren G. successfully killed all the bad guys

I let my gat explode
Warren G. fired his gun multiple times

Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
Warren G. is once again focused on finding girls

If you want skirts step back and observe
Warren G. tells other guys to back off and let him find girls

I just left a gang of those over there on the curb
Warren G. just talked to some girls who are now waiting on the curb

Now Nate got the freaks
Nate Dogg is now with the girls Warren G. found

And that's a known fact
It's clear and obvious that Nate is now with the girls

Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Warren G. reassures the girls that everything is under control now

Back up back up 'cause it's on
Warren G. says people should move aside because he is in control

N-A-T-E and me, The Warren to the G
Warren G. and Nate Dogg introduce themselves to the girls

Just like I thought
Warren G. is pleased that his night is now back on track and going as expected

They were in the same spot
The girls are still waiting where Warren G. left them

In need of some desperate help
The girls are looking for assistance with their car trouble

The Nate Dogg and the G-child were in need of something else
Nate and Warren are looking for a good time with the girls

One of them dames was sexy as hell
One of the girls is very attractive

I said "ooh I like your size"
Warren G. compliments the girl's figure

She said "my car's broke down and you seem real nice,", "would you let me ride?"
The girl asks Warren G. for assistance with her car and suggests he drive her instead

I got a car full of girls and it's going real swell
Warren G. is happy to have the girls in his car and is enjoying himself

The next stop is the east side motel
Warren G. tells the girls where they are heading

I'm tweaking, Onto a whole new level
Warren G. is excited and taking things to the next level

G-Funk, Stept towards, I dare ya, Funk
Warren G. tries to encourage others to join him in his funky, G-Funk sound (style of music)

On a whole new level, The rythmn is the base and the base is the treble
Warren G. takes his music to a new level by emphasizing the importance of rhythm and bass

Chords, Strings, We brings, Melody
Warren G. is proud of his musical talents and how he incorporates melody into his beats

Where rythmn is life, And life is rythmn
To Warren G., rhythm is everything and creates the essence of life itself

If you know like I know, You don't want to step to this
Warren G. warns others not to mess with his music

It's the G-Funk era, Funked out with a gangster twist
Warren G. describes his music as combining the smooth G-Funk sound with the toughness of gangster rap

If you smoke like I smoke, Then you high like everyday
Warren G. suggests that if you smoke marijuana like him, you'll feel high all the time

And if your ass is a buster, 213 will regulate
Warren G. and his crew, 213, will keep everything in order and under control even if you act out of line
