Warren G took nearly three years to complete his second album, returning in the spring of 1997 with Take A Look Over Your Shoulder, which was greeted with decidedly mixed reviews and weak sales. I Want It All followed in 1999 with The Return of the Regulator appearing two years later. In 2005 he signed with Lightyear Enterntainment and released In the Mid-Nite Hour.
Annie Mae
Warren G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
3, 4 we gotta hit the store
5, 6 back in the mix
7, 8 Warren G and Nate
Bang to the boogy say up jump the boogy
To the rhythm of the boogidy beat
I don't love no hoes they know so they don't be fuckin' wit me
A long time ago I met Annie Mae
She was killing me softly like everyday
Penetentiary steel, was stickin for real
Blockbustin' through the walls
Now I'm makin housecalls
I thought I'd met a lot of scandalous women, and then I met Annie Mae
Got a thin big butt like steel
But she didn't have a place to stay
She was shackin' at mine and shackin' at his
Blowin' my socks, tellin' his biz
Nate Dogg this and Nate Dogg that
213 skirt, and we stay intact
So I told the homey Nate don't be mislead
Ain't no fun if the homey can't shake a leg
So I went to the house and knocked on the door
And guess who it was, Annie Mae you H-O
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
(I once had a bitch named Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae
Remember yesterday I asked you baby have I seen you somewhere before
With just one look, the pussy was took
'Cause I make music that you adore
Now I'm not sure and I might be trippin'
But in 94 I heard a song
It ain't no fun unless the homeys can come
So Warren G put a condom on
Now Nate you know me and I know you
I got rubbers, gin and Socco too
So lets do the do, on how we do
Never my boo, just a freak that I knew
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
(I once had a bitch named Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae
Annie Mae, Annie Mae, you ran out of time
Warren G and Nate Dogg blew your mind
'Cause if you trickin' wit him
You trickin' wit me, you trickin' wit the 2 1 muthafuckin' 3
I came from rags to riches
Trustin' no snitches
Thats how we do on 9 C I X bitches
Buck 'em, fuck 'em, and put 'em in the trash
And jump in the 600 Benz and dash
Hold up Warren before you go just a couple things I have to say
Are you goin home, I wanna be alone
You need to take this, ho
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
(I once had a bitch named Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
(I once had a bitch named Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
(I once had a bitch named Annie Mae)
I once knew a trick named Annie Mae (Annie Mae)
The lyrics of Warren G's "Annie Mae" paint a picture of a scandalous woman named Annie Mae who is causing trouble for both Warren G and Nate Dogg. Warren G meets Annie Mae, who is described as "killing him softly" every day. Annie Mae does not have a place to stay, leading her to move between Warren G and his friend's house.

The song mentions a condom, indicating the importance of safe sex.
The song highlights the issue of women being objectified and referred to as "tricks" and "hoes."

The lyrics show that loyalty amongst friends is a significant value where they can "buck 'em, fuck 'em and put 'em in the trash" if they betray their trust.
In conclusion, "Annie Mae" is a provocative song that highlights the issue of women being objectified and the importance of loyalty amongst friends.
