Regulate
G Warren Lyrics

Regulators
We are law enforcement officers

We regulate any stealin' of his property
We prevent any theft or robbery of people's property

We're damn good too, but you can't be any geek off the street
We do our job well, but the ones who can join us need to have good skills

You gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean
To be part of us, you need to be proficient with firearms

Earn your keep
You need to work hard to prove yourself to us

Regulators, mount up
Let's get ready to do our job

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
The weather was good, and the sky had a full moon

Warren G was on the streets, tryin' to consume
Warren G was looking to have fun

Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some phones
He was looking for girls to spend time with, so he can get their phone numbers

Rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone
He was cruising around in his car, enjoying himself

Just hit the eastside of the L-B-C
He arrived at the East Side of Long Beach City

On a mission tryna find Mr. Warren G
He was trying to find himself

Seen a car full of girls, ain't no need to tweak
He noticed a car full of girls but did not act suspicious

All you skirts know what's up with 2-1-3
He addresses the females and references the area code of Long Beach

So I hooks a left on 2-1 and Lewis
He turned at 21st street and Lewis street

Some brothers shootin' dice, so I said, 'Let's do this'
He saw some men gambling and joined them

I jumped out the ride and said, 'What's up?'
He got out of his car and greeted them

Some brothers pulled some gats, so I said, 'I'm stuck'
The men pulled guns on him, leaving him with no way out

Since these girls peepin' me I'ma glide and swerve
He decided to act smooth in front of the girls watching

These hookers lookin' so hard they straight hit the curb
The girls were staring at him so intently that they hit the edge of the sidewalk

Onto bigger, better thin's than some horny tricks
He was looking for more exciting things than just being with women

I see my homie and some suckas all in his mix
He saw his friend and some unknown individuals involved in an altercation

I'm getting' jacked, I'm breaking' myself
He realized that he was being robbed too and gave up easily

I can't believe they takin' Warren's wealth
He can't believe that he is being robbed of his valuables

They took my rings, they took my Rolex
The robbers stole his jewelry

I looked at the brother said, 'Damn, what's next?'
He panicked and didn't know what to do next

They got my homie hemmed up and they all around
The perpetrators were blocking his friend's path and were surrounding him

Can't none of them see him if they goin' straight pound for pound
He thought that none of the robbers had any chance of winning in a fight against his friend

They wanna come up real quick before they start to clown
They wanted to gain money quickly before they started to celebrate

I best pull out my strap and lay them busters down
He had to use his gun to take down the attackers

They got guns to my head
The robbers had guns pointed at his head

I think I'm going' down
He thought he was going to die

I can't believe it's happenin' in my own town
He couldn't believe that a robbery was happening in his hometown

If I had wings I would fly, let me contemplate
He considered different ways to get out of the situation

I glanced in the cut and I see my homie Nate
He looked around and saw that his friend Nate was nearby

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate had a gun with sixteen bullets loaded in the magazine and one in the chamber

Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Nate Dogg was about to use his gun to kill some people

Now they droppin' and yellin', it's a tad bit late
The attackers were being shot and were yelling in pain, too late to run away

Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate
Nate Dogg and Warren G had to use force to put an end to the robbery

I laid all them busters down, I let my gat explode
He took down all the attackers and fired his gun multiple times

Now I'm switchin' my mind back into freak mode
He moved on from the stressful moment and returned back to having fun

If you want skirts, sit back and observe
If you want to be entertained, then watch closely

I just left a gang of hoes over there on the curb
He just spent time with women he met on the street

Now Nate got the freaks and that's a known fact
His friend Nate got the women's attention and became popular among them

Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Before he was robbed, he was on the same path of having fun and being with women

Back up, back up, 'cause it's on
Get out of the way because things are about to get serious

N-A-T-E and me, the Warren to the G
He and Nate Dogg are friends and had each other's backs in the situation

Just like I thought, they were in the same spot
He saw his friend Nate and noticed that they were in a difficult situation together again

In need of some desperate help
They were in need of assistance

But Nate Dogg and the G child were in need of somethin' else
They needed something different than what was expected of them to accomplish this time

One of them dames was sexy as hell
One of the women was very attractive

I said, 'Ooh, I like your size'
He expressed his admiration for the woman's body

She said, 'My car's broke down and you seem real nice, would you let me ride?'
The woman asked him for a ride since her car was broken

I got a car full of girls and it's goin' real swell
He already had women in his car at the moment

The next stop is the Eastside Motel
Their destination was the Eastside Motel

I'm tweakin' into a whole new era
He transitioned to a new phase of life

G-funk, step to this, I dare ya
He promoted his music style 'G-funk' and challenged others to try it

Funk on a whole new level
His music is a new form of funk with its own unique features

The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble (woo)
The music's rhythm comes from the bassline, which also delivers the treble sound

Chords, strings, we brings melody
With musical chords and strings, he creates melodic sounds

G-funk, where rhythm is life and life is rhythm
In G-funk music, rhythm is the center of life and vice versa

If you know like I know
If you understand what he's saying

You don't wanna step to this
You don't want to challenge him or compete with his style

It's the G-funk era, funked out with a gangster twist
He's part of a new era in music that includes a hint of gangster culture

If you smoke like I smoke
If you smoke marijuana like he does

Then you're high like everyday
You are high almost every day

And if your ass is a buster
And if you're a loser

2-1-3 will regulate
The law enforcement team 2-1-3 will take care of you
