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.
Dead Wrong
Warren G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I see two dudes and they look like trouble
The doorbell just rang, so I grabbed my pistol
She thought she could save me, but she was dead wrong
Once upon a time, not long ago
I had to go and put the smash down on this ho
Never been the one to chase nothing but my dough
She was thick, lightskin, with the prettiest eyes
Type to make a nigga listen to the silliest lies
But I don′t believe her, I see through her disguise
But she so bomb, a nigga had to give it a try
I met her at the club, she was sipping Mojitos
Shots of Patron had me ready to beat though
She told me she was ready to come over and chill
Told her, "hit me on my celly if you really for real"
Out the corner of my eye I observed
A couple unsavory characters in the cut, the nerve of this bitch
I hope its not what it's looking like
Shit, I guess I′m 'bout to find out tomorrow night
She said she wants to come over tomorrow
But I see two dudes and they look like trouble
The doorbell just rang, so I grabbed my pistol
She thought she could save me (uh huh, okay bitch)
But she was dead wrong
On the phone she was sounding sexy
Talking all nasty, reckless, acting real extra
I think I hear her nigga's voice in the background
Whispering, something funny style going down
Doorbell ringing, I′m at the peephole with the strap
I ain′t hear them coming from the back
I bet they thought they had me, but that fully automatic
I let all them niggas have it
The bitch got it first of all for tryna trap me and set me up
I had to show her what's happening
Damn, why she wanna stick me for my paper?
Blam, right between her eyes with that laser
One shot (one) two shot (two)
Three shot (three) four (four)
Gun cock, unlocked, bodies on the floor
I had to do what I had to do
If it could happen to me, it could happen to you
She said she wants to come over tomorrow
But I see two dudes and they look like trouble
The doorbell just rang, so I grabbed my pistol
She thought she could save me, but she was dead wrong
The lyrics of Warren G’s “Dead Wrong,” describe a night where the singer is about to be set up by a woman that he met at a club. She tells him that she wants to come over, but when he looks out the window, he sees two men that look like trouble. When the doorbell rings, he grabs his pistol and opens the door to find the woman he was supposed to meet. He shoots her and the two men that accompanied her, realizing that they were setting him up. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not easily fooled and is always ready for danger.
The song seems to be warning listeners about the dangers of getting caught up with the wrong people and the importance of being aware of their surroundings. The lyrics also describe the singer as someone who is always prepared for whatever situation he finds himself in. The hook of the song, “She thought she could save me, but she was dead wrong,” emphasizes the theme of being self-sufficient and not relying on others for help.
Overall, the song seems to be a cautionary tale about trusting the wrong people and the importance of being vigilant. The singer is portrayed as someone who is always ready for danger, but he still falls victim to a trap. The lyrics suggest that even when we think we are safe, danger can come at any moment.
