G-Funk
Nate Dogg Lyrics

G is for the gang of money I make
The letter G represents the amount of money I make, which is significant.

F is for the gang of fools I break
The letter F represents the people I have defeated and manipulated, whom I refer to as fools.

U is for the undisputed champ
The letter U represents me, the undefeated champion of G-Funk.

N is 'cause you never gonna get the mic back (never gonna get it)
The letter N represents how no one can take the microphone from me or my position as the king of G-Funk.

K is for them niggas that I'll knock on their back
The letter K represents the people who challenge me, whom I will defeat and knock down.

Damn, it feels good to see Long Beach on the map
I feel proud that Long Beach, California is being recognized and represented through my music.

'Til the day I'm dead, I'm gon' keep that shit real
Until the day I die, I will continue to be genuine and authentic.

Now you niggas know G-Funk's for real (ya know)
Now everyone knows that my style of G-Funk is authentic and legitimate.

To those people who don't believe in G-Funk
This is directed towards anyone who doubts the legitimacy of G-Funk.

Tried to take my style and make a quick buck
Others have tried to copy and profit off of my style of music.

Here's a message to one and all
Listen closely, as this message applies to everyone.

Your pass is revoked
You are no longer allowed to copy my music and profit off of it.

Man, I'm havin' a ball
I am happy and having fun creating music.

Any questions, come and see me
If anyone has any questions or doubts about my music, they can come talk to me directly.

The king of G-Funk, the one and only
I am the undisputed king of G-Funk, and there is no one else like me.

Congratulations, you sound like Nate
Congratulations, you have copied my sound and style.

You took my old hook
You copied my original idea and lyrics.

And got me paid
You have profited off of music that is not your own.

Some people (some people)
Some people believe...

Are nothin' but clones (are nothin' but clones)
...that others are nothing but copies of someone else.

Have styles of their own (have styles of their own) (ya know)
Some people have their own unique style and sound.

Some people are copycats
Some people are imitators who copy others' styles.

These people (these people)
...these people...

Can't get the mic back (can't get the mic back)
...are unsuccessful in taking the microphone from me.

Can you feel me, one-hitter quitters?
Can you understand me, those who quit at one attempt?

You can't copy me, I'm one in a million
You cannot recreate my unique sound, I am like no one else.

Call any expert and you can ask him (and you can ask him)
If you ask any expert, they will tell you the same thing.

Copy machines (copy machines)
Even copy machines...

Can't copy platinum (can't copy platinum)
...are incapable of replicating something as valuable as platinum, which represents my music's success.

When you feel like (when you feel like)
When you want...

Some cavi G-Funk (some cavi G-Funk)
...some top-notch G-Funk...

You need some music (you need some music)
...you need some music...

To bump in your trunk (to bump in your trunk)
...to blast from your car's sound system...

I got a baseline (I got a baseline)
...I have a rhythmic bassline...

A gangsta tune (a gangsta tune)
...a song with a street-style vibe...

Put on the classics (put on the classics)
...listen to the timeless classics...

And your head'll be movin' soon
...you will feel moved and sway your head to the rhythm.

Da
Just filler sounds.

Sang the song, y'all (da, da, da, da)
...sing along to this song, everyone (filler sounds).

That's what G-Funk means to me (da)
This is what G-Funk represents to me (filler sound).
