Nuthin' But A "G" Thing
Quantic Y Su Conjunto Los Miticos Del Ritmo Lyrics

One, two, three and to the fo'
Counting off to begin the song with a beat

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do'
Introducing the artists responsible for the music

Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
Announcing their readiness to take over

('Cause you know about to rip shit up)
Excitedly affirming expectations for their performance

Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Requesting the mic to showcase rap skills

Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
Proudly introducing hometowns of the artists, feisty and formidable

Ain't nothin' but a "G" thing, baby!
Defining the essence of their performance

Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy!
Boasting about their wild status

Death Row is the label that pays me!
Shouting out the artists' label as their source of success

Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
Boasting about their invincibility, confident that they cannot be beaten

But uh, back to the lecture at hand
Resuming storytelling of a young G's perspective

Perfection is perfected, so I'ma let 'em understand
Claiming rap is an art and they have mastered it

From a young G's perspective
Reiterating the narration of their point of view

And before me dig out a bitch I have ta' find a contraceptive
Asserting responsibility and precaution when dealing with sexual partners

You never know she could be earnin' her man
Warning of the possibility of female partners manipulating their men

And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
Illustrating potential harm that can be brought upon men caught in such situations

Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
Rejecting such situations and calling for accountability

Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
Expressing a preference for safe sex

(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
Affirming the authenticity of their attitude towards sex and responsibility

And now you hooka's and ho's know how I feel
Directing their message towards dishonest and unscrupulous women

Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
Assessing the value of partners

I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
Declaring an interest in some aspects of their potential partner

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Transitioning back into the song and beat

It's like that and like this and like that and uh
Continuing the song and beat

Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
Directing audience attention to Dr. Dre as he approaches the mic

Well I'm peepin', and I'm creepin', and I'm creep-in
Illustrating the way Dr. Dre moves towards the mic with stealth

But I damn near got caught, 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
Jokingly confessing his nearly failed attempt to reach the mic unnoticed

Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
Taking control of the performance to assert their influence

So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
Addressing the audience to prepare for the high-energy performance about to unfold

You never been on a ride like this before
Boasting about the one-of-a-kind experience they are offering

With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
Proudly describing Dr. Dre's dual capabilities

At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
Affirming their excellence as a rap artist

You know, and I know, I flow some ol' funky shit
Acknowledging their unique musical style

To add to my collection, the selection
Asserting their ownership over their music

Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
Celebrating their music as a powerful, intoxicating force

If you do, you'll have no clue
Warning of the potential danger of excessive consumption

On what me and my homey Snoop Dogg came to do
Referring to their performance as a collaboration between friends

Fallin' back on that ass, with a hellified gangsta lean
Describing their laid-back style

Gettin' funky on the mic like a ol' batcha' collard greens
Comparing their performance and musical style to soul food

It's the capital S, oh yes I'm fresh, N double-O P
Introducing Snoop Dogg by nickname and boasting about his fresh style

D O double-G Y, D O double-G, ya see
Repeating Snoop Dogg's name in a playful manner for emphasis

Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
Displaying confidence in their performance abilities

Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
Boasting about their financial success and sexual prowess

Yeah, and it don't quit
Asserting that their success will continue

I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit
Reading the audience and discerning their desire for a particular type of performance

(Hell yeah) So Dre, (What up Dog?)
Beginning a conversation between the two artists about the performance to come

Gotta give 'em what they want (What's that, G?)
Deciding to fulfill the audience's expectations

We gotta break 'em off somethin' (Hell yeah)
Preparing to deliver a dynamic performance

And it's gotta be bumpin' (City of Compton!)
Promising a high-energy, intense performance that will do Compton proud

It's where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
Reminding the audience of the importance of the place of origin of the artists and their music

Mobbin' like a motherfucker, but I ain't lynchin'
Asserting their strengths and pride in their city without the use of violence

Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
Boasting about the quality of their music and its impact

When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
Asserting the power and influence of their performance

Try to get close, and your ass'll get smacked
Issuing a warning to those who try to interfere or criticize

My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Acknowledging the importance of friendship and loyalty

Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
Stressing the importance of support and accountability

But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
Asserting their ability to stay afloat even in challenging situations

And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
Promising to continue to bring their style and attitude to the forefront

And if yo bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
Warning against those who try to criticize or bring them down

Yeah, and you don't stop
Ending the song with a confident assertion of their ongoing success and influence

I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
Playing with their nickname and likening their consistent success to a clock's ticking

But I'm never off, always on, to the break of dawn
Asserting their unwavering dedication to their craft and performance

C-O-M-P-T-O-N, and the city they call Long Beach
Reminding the audience of the importance of their hometowns

Puttin' the shit together
Claiming responsibility for their music and performance

Like my nigga D.O.C., "No One Can Do It Better"
Giving credit to another artist and acknowledging the spirit of competition

Like this, that and this and uh
Continuing the song and beat

So just chill, 'til the next episode
Promising more dynamic music and performance in the future
