Warren G Lyrics

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
The night was beautiful, with a black sky and a white moon shining bright.

Warren G. is on the streets, trying to consume
Warren G. is out and about, looking to have a good time.

Some skirts for the eve, so I can get some funk
He's looking for some girls to have fun with, so he can party.

Just rollin' in my ride, chillin all alone
He's driving around on his own, taking it easy.

Just hit the eatside of the L.B.C.
He's just arrived in the Eastside of Long Beach, California.

On a mission trying to find Mr. Warren G.
He's looking for himself, or at least that's what he's calling himself.

Seen a car full of skirts ain't no need to tweak
He sees a car filled with girls and doesn't need to get nervous or anxious.

All you skirts know what's up with 213
All the girls know what's happening in the area code 213.

So I hooks a left on the 21 to Lewis
He makes a left turn onto 21st street, to try and find some entertainment.

Some brothas shootin dice so I said "let's do this"
He encounters some guys playing dice and decides to join in the game.

I jumped out the ride, and said"what's up?"
He leaves his car to greet the guys playing dice.

Some brothas pulled some gats so I said "I'm stuck"
Unfortunately, some of the guys playing dice pulled out guns, leaving him in a tricky situation.

Since these girls peepin me I'ma glide and swerve
Since the girls are watching him, he decides to play it cool and move carefully.

These hookers lookin so hard they straight hit the curb
The girls are so focused on him that they accidentally hit the curb with their car.

Gonna think of better things than some horny tricks
He decides to move past the girls and focus on a better plan.

I see my homey and some suckers all in his mix
He spots his friend who is dealing with some troublesome people.

I'm gettin jacked, I'm breakin myself
Unluckily for him, he's getting robbed and decides to surrender.

I can't believe they're taking Warren's wealth
He's in disbelief that they're actually taking his belongings.

They took my rings, they took my rolex
They got away with his valuable jewelry.

I looked at the brothas and said "damn, what's next?"
He's worried about what these thugs might do to him next.

They got my homey hemmed up and they all around
His friend is surrounded by these thugs and needs his help.

Ain't none of them seeing if they going straight pound for pound
None of the thugs are prepared for a fair physical fight.

I gotta come up real quick before they start to clown
He knows he has to act quickly before things get out of hand.

I besta pull out my strap and lay them busters down
He decides to use his gun and eliminate the threat.

They got guns to my head
The thugs are holding him hostage with guns to his head.

I think I'm going down
He's worried he might get killed in this situation.

I can't believe this happened in my home town
He's disappointed that something like this could happen in his own neighborhood.

If I had wings I would fly
He's expressing his desire to escape from this situation.

Let me contemplate
He needs to think carefully about his next move.

I glanced in the cut and I see my homey Nate
He spots his friend Nate and finds some hope for getting out of this trouble.

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg has a gun loaded with 16 bullets in the clip and one in the chamber.

Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Nate is ready to use his weapon to kill these attackers.

Now they droppin and yellin
The thugs are getting killed and screaming.

It's a tad bit late
It's too late for the thugs to change their fate.

Nate Dogg and Warren G. had to regulate
Nate and Warren had to take control of the situation by using violence.

I laid all them busters down
He killed all the attackers.

I let my gat explode
He fired his gun multiple times.

Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
After the violence, he's ready to go back to enjoying himself.

If you want skirts step back and observe
He's letting the girls know that he's back and they should watch him from a distance.

I just left a gang of those over there on the curb
He just had some fun with a group of girls.

Now Nate got the freaks
Nate is now entertaining the girls.

And that's a known fact
It's well established that Nate is good with women.

Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Before the attack, he was looking for girls to have fun with and now he's back to that same mindset.

Back up back up 'cause it's on
He's letting everyone know that his game is on and they should step back.

N-A-T-E and me
Just confirming the spelling of his friend's name.

The Warren to the G
He's reminding people that he's still Warren G.

Just like I thought
Things are going according to his plan.

They were in the same spot
He's found some girls in the same area as before.

In need of some desperate help
The girls need his help with something.

The Nate Dogg and the G-child
He and Nate are handling the girls' needs together.

Were in need of something else
The girls need something beyond just his company.

One of them dames was sexy as hell
He's drawn to one of the girls who is incredibly attractive.

I said "ooh I like your size"
He compliments the girl on her physical traits.

She said "my car's broke down and you seem real nice,"
She's asking for his help while also acknowledging that he seems like a good guy.

"would you let me ride?"
She's requesting a ride from him.

I got a car full of girls and it's going real swell
He's happy with how his night is going so far, having fun with the girls.

The next stop is the east side motel
