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.

Warren G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kinda hungry
Have you eaten?
Hardly any
Walking down sunset boulevardnelly
I had this miner on the lock
She said
That mutha fucker look finer
But he's an eastcoast cat
Pure jelly ass
Nigga kick a rap that can impress
My L.A. ass
Disrespect
When I didn't deserve it
Hey you acting like earning the
Best rapper walk the earth yet (no)
I guess some big tymer tapping her
I huff, and puff
Blew her fat rat ass off
Blaze her
Shit, in the face
The most rapper
Why she acting like it didn't know
While I pulls up on her Rolls
I gets in it
I'm like bitch it's
Best you write down your number this minute
Catching her going
Just sparking off
And she came to her sister
Before the car took off
[Chorus]
We know what to do
If we give you the chance
You'll fall in love
And all the time won't remain
The way you look
Your touch is fine
But I won't let you blow my mind
Lodi Dodi
We like to party
My nigga slick rick
Can still rock a party
It was 12:15 when I hit the scene
Fresh out from L.A.
Touching J.F.K.
I was on my way
To go get my bays
I'm a real one from L.A.
So I gots to say
I hit my nigga slick rick
And said I'm in town
Get some puerto rican freaks
Cause it's got to go down
So we hit every girl in the N-why-see
I'm rush associated
So what's up with me
We fucked and flee off the hennesy
Girl just for me
Hit'em all for free
Beyatch!
[Chorus]
What?
Fast as suave-a
Boss will flip the script
The number one draft pick
So the G's is thick
Roll with Rick
Nigga that'll roll with me
Every man feel free
When he making a G
Is money constant?
And money all that I see?
I'ma breath this shit
Money coming with me
What you want with it
The boss stay committed
To drunk trying to pive it
Still I bust the sickest
Check it
Wreckless major carrots
In my necklace
Black lence and go kill'em with ? shit
Perfect it now the game's obtain
And this don pieces eyes
Peel jocking the ring
Trade the sex face
Baby keep the pace
Lots to do
Little time
And is love to make
Promise you my pearl
Baby this my world
And even broke without a dime
You still be my girl
What!
[Chorus]
The opening lines of Warren G's song "If We Give You a Chance" are about a brief encounter with a woman on Sunset Boulevard. The lyrics go on to suggest that the woman was interested in Warren G and wanted to get his attention, but he wasn't impressed by her. He accuses her of disrespecting him, even though he didn't deserve it, and then drives off in his Rolls Royce. The chorus is about not falling in love too quickly and not letting someone blow your mind too soon.
The second verse of the song is all about partying with Slick Rick and some Puerto Rican women in New York City. Warren G talks about hooking up with all of them and not paying for anything; he seems to be living the life of a wealthy playboy. The final verse of the song is about Warren G's love of money and how he will always be committed to making it. He talks about the expensive jewelry he wears and his desire to perfect the game and become more successful.

Party phrase
We like to party
We enjoy partying
My nigga slick rick
Slick Rick, my friend
Can still rock a party
Can still entertain at a party
It was 12:15 when I hit the scene
It was 12:15 when I arrived at the location
Fresh out from L.A.
Recently arrived from Los Angeles
Touching J.F.K.
Referring to the airport and JFK as a landmark
I was on my way
I was heading
To go get my bays
To meet my attractive partners
I'm a real one from L.A.
I'm an authentic person from Los Angeles
So I gots to say
So I have to express
I hit my nigga slick rick
I contacted my friend Slick Rick
And said I'm in town
And informed him that I am in the city
Get some puerto rican freaks
Find some Puerto Rican women
Cause it's got to go down
Because there's a plan for a wild night
So we hit every girl in the N-why-see
So we approached every girl in the NYC
I'm rush associated
In a hurry and full of action
So what's up with me
So, what's happening in my life
We fucked and flee off the hennesy
We had sexual encounters and left quickly after drinking Hennessy
Girl just for me
For my own pleasure
Hit'em all for free
Engage with them without any cost
Beyatch!
A derogatory term for a woman
What?
What do you mean?
Fast as suave-a
As smooth and suave as can be
Boss will flip the script
The boss will change the situation
The number one draft pick
The most desirable choice
So the G's is thick
So the people with money and influence are numerous
Roll with Rick
Hang out with Rick
Nigga that'll roll with me
A friend that will support me
Every man feel free
Every man feels liberated
When he making a G
When he earns a thousand dollars
Is money constant?
Is money the only constant factor?
And money all that I see?
Is money the only thing I perceive?
I'ma breath this shit
I'm going to live and focus on this lifestyle
Money coming with me
Money is coming along with me
What you want with it
What do you desire from it
The boss stay committed
The leader remains dedicated
To drunk trying to pive it
To someone attempting to deceive
Still I bust the sickest
Yet, I deliver the most impressive performances
Check it
Listen closely
Wreckless major carrots
Extravagant and valuable possessions
In my necklace
Displayed in my necklace
Black lence and go kill'em with ? shit
A black luxury vehicle and impress them with superior belongings
Perfect it now the game's obtain
Mastered it, now I achieved success in the game
And this don pieces eyes
And everyone is watching with admiration
Peel jocking the ring
Envious people yearning for the expensive ring
Trade the sex face
Swap the lustful expression
Baby keep the pace
Baby, maintain the speed or rhythm
Lots to do
Many things to accomplish
Little time
Limited time
And is love to make
And we have love to create
Promise you my pearl
I promise you my precious
Baby this my world
Baby, this is my world
And even broke without a dime
Even if I'm poor and have no money
You still be my girl
You would still be my partner
What!
What do you mean?
[Chorus]
Refrain from the song
