Ain't Nothing But A G Thing
Snoop Dogg Ft. Dre Lyrics

One, two, three and to the fo'
We're counting down to drop some sick rhymes.

Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do'
It's Snoop and Dre, and we're ready to rock the house.

Ready to make an entrance, so back on up
We're here to make a grand entrance, so you better step back.

('Cause you know about to rip shit up)
We're about to tear the place apart with our music.

Gimme the microphone first, so I can bust like a bubble
Pass me the mic, and I'm going to spit some rhymes so tight that they'll pop like a bubble.

Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
When Compton and Long Beach team up, you know that something big is going down.

Ain't nothin' but a "G" thang, baby!
This is nothing but a gangsta thing, baby!

Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy!
As two hardcore, experienced rappers, we're totally nuts.

Death Row is the label that pays me!
We're signed to the Death Row label and getting paid big time for our music.

Unfadeable, so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
Our music is so powerful and unforgettable that you can't ignore it. (Hell yeah)

But uh, back to the lecture at hand
But let's get back to the main topic of discussion.

Perfection is perfected, so I'ma let 'em understand
Our music is the epitome of perfection, and we want our audience to know that.

From a young G's perspective
We're speaking from the point of view of a young gangster.

And before me dig out a bitch I have to find a contraceptive
Before engaging in sexual activity, I always make sure to use protection.

You never know she could be earnin' her man
The woman in question may be working for her man in some way.

And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
She may also be manipulating and deceiving her man while pretending to be loyal.

Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
I won't tolerate any woman trying to pull one over on me, and I mean it.

Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it
No sexual encounter is worth risking my health or well-being.

(Yeah) And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
My words are true and authentic, just like the professional boxer Holyfield.

And now you hooka's and ho's know how I feel
All the women out there understand my position and feelings on the matter.

Well if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
If I think the woman is worth my time and effort, then I'm willing to pursue her.

I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
I'll settle for a small taste of her sexual prowess.

It's like this and like that and like this and uh
Our rhymes are flowing smoothly and effortlessly like the beat.

It's like that and like this and like that and uh
We're laying down some sick beats and rhymes in a never-ending flow.

Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
I'm slowly and smoothly moving towards the microphone like a ghostly apparition.

Well I'm peepin', and I'm creepin', and I'm creep-in'
I'm keeping an eye on everything and everyone around me in a sneaky and stealthy way.

But I damn near got caught, 'cause my beeper kept beepin'
I was almost caught, but luckily it was just my beeper going off.

Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
It's time for me to show off my musical talent and make an impact.

So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt
Get ready for the ride of your life, because our music is going to blow your mind.

You never been on a ride like this before
You've never experienced music like ours before.

With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
We're unique because Dre can both rap and control the music at the same time.

At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
While Dre is keeping the beat, I'm delivering some sick rhymes.

You know, and I know, I flow some ol' funky shit
Our rhymes are absolutely sick and funky, and we all know it.

To add to my collection, the selection
Our music is so good that it deserves to be added to the best collections out there.

Symbolizes dope, take a toke, but don't choke
Our music is like a drug, so take a hit, but don't overdo it or you'll be overwhelmed.

If you do, you'll have no clue
If you overdose, you won't be able to appreciate our music to its fullest.

On what me and my homey Snoop Dogg came to do
Our goal is to deliver the best hip hop music you've ever heard in your life.

And who gives a fuck about those?
We don't care what anyone else thinks about our music or our lifestyle.

So just chill, 'til the next episode
Just relax and enjoy the ride until the next time we drop another track.

Fallin' back on that ass, with a hellified gangsta lean
We're relaxing and getting comfortable in our gangsta-style way.

Gettin' funky on the mic like a ol' batch of collard greens
Our rhymes are fresh and funky, just like a traditional southern dish.

It's the capital S, oh yes I'm fresh, N double-O P
It's Snoop Dogg with a capital S, and I'm fresh and clean.

D O double-G Y, D O double-G, ya see
My name is D-O-double G, and you can see that I'm a gangsta.

Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
I'm not afraid to show off my skills when it's time to spit some rhymes.

Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolomite
I'm rolling in cash and treating women like objects, just like the character Dolomite.

Yeah, and it don't quit
We're not stopping anytime soon, we're just getting started.

I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit
Our audience is ready for some hardcore gangsta rap and we're about to deliver it.

So Dre, (What up Dog?)
Hey Dre, what's up?

Gotta give 'em what they want (What's that, G?)
We have to give our audience what they want, which is some dope-ass music.

We gotta break 'em off somethin' (Hell yeah)
We need to give them something extra special, something unforgettable. (Hell yeah)

And it's gotta be bumpin' (City of Compton!)
Our music has to be lit and bumpin', and we're representing our hometown of Compton.

It's where it takes place, so when asked, yo' attention
Our music comes straight out of Compton, and you need to pay attention when it's mentioned.

Mobbin' like a motherfucker, but I ain't lynchin'
We're moving around in a big group, but we're not engaged in any violence or hate crimes.

Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
We're dropping some sick beats and rhymes that are confusing and intimidating to our haters.

When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie, they all crumble
When I start spitting rhymes, all our haters start falling apart like a crumbly cookie.

Try to get close, and your ass'll get smacked
If you try to get too close to us, we'll smack you down with our powerful music.

My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
My loyal friend Snoop Dogg is always there to support me no matter what.

Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
Snoop is always there to catch me when I'm about to fall, because he's a true friend.

But if I got my Nina, then you know I'm straight trippin'
If I've got my gun with me, then you know I'm not afraid to get into a dangerous situation.

And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
I'm never going to stop making music and being a smooth player with the ladies.

And if your bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
If anyone is talking shit about me or my music or my lifestyle, I'll have to take them down a notch.

Yeah, and you don't stop
Our rhymes and music are unstoppable and timeless.

I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
I keep on going, like the steady beat of a clock, as I deliver my rhymes.

But I'm never off, always on, to the break of dawn
I'm always on my game, always delivering my best, until the early morning hours.

C-O-M-P-T-O-N, and the city they call Long Beach
We're representing our hometowns of Compton and Long Beach, where we came from.

Puttin' the shit together
We're bringing all our skills, talent, and experience together to make some awesome music.

Like my nigga D.O.C., "No One Can Do It Better"
We're inspired by our fellow rapper D.O.C., who proved that no one can make music quite like he can.
