In 1990, Warren G formed the group 213 with Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg, and in 1994 he exploded onto the Long Beach rap scene with the smash single "Regulate," a duet with Nate Dogg, and its accompanying album, Regulate...G Funk Era. He has since released a further 8 albums on Death Row Records. He grew up in Long Beach listening to his parents' extensive collection of jazz, soul and funk records, also frequently hanging out at the local record store. As a teenager, he and his friends Nate Dogg and future superstar Snoop Dogg formed a rap group called 213, after their area code. Unfortunately, all three had brushes with the law and spent time in jail, which motivated them to get jobs, also working on their music on the side. Eventually, the V.I.P. record store allowed the trio to practice and record in a back room. It was here that Snoop cut the demo "Super Duper Snooper," which G played for his half-brother Dr. Dre at a party. Dre invited all three to his studio and wound up collaborating with Snoop on The Chronic. While G also made several contributions, he opted to develop his talents mostly outside of Dre's shadow. He honed his musical skills while producing such artists as MC Breed and 2Pac. A break came when his vocal collaboration with Mista Grimm, "Indo Smoke," appeared on the Poetic Justice soundtrack. Soon after that, G recorded his debut album for Death Row. "Regulate" appeared on the Above the Rim soundtrack and was released as a single. It quickly became a massive hit, peaking at #2 on the Billboard charts and pushing the album up to the same position. The album eventually went triple platinum, with "This D.J." becoming his second Top 10 hit.

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 ↴

Today, yea
The weather and the women and the weed
Oh yeah, it's saturday and I am your favorite DJ DJ Easy-Dick, I'mma give it to you the long way It's Warren G, E-40, Fonzerelli, Too $hort, and Nate Dogg It's Saturday

It's Saturday, time to go out and find me a party
I wanna play, got to have you all over my body
I feel nasty, when the music hits me I get real naughty
And I wanna play, yeah, if you feel me go raise your hand somebody

Who is that big African American in the Cayenne
Doing what he want, not doing what he can
Behind tinted windows, car worth a hundred grand
Speakers on tremendo, quaking, waking up the land
Popping my izzim, better holla at this broad
In the Geo Prizm, I deserve an applause
Bruh, I know how to pick them, boobies shake like Jell-O
Not from Pittsburgh but she black and yellow
I said, "where's your fellow?" she said, "I fired that buster"
Bum ass nigga, couch potato hustler
He spend more time with his homies than he do his honey
Always in her face asking for gas money
I said, "today your lucky day, what's your schedule looking like?
Can you come out and play? I got a show tonight"
You deserve it baby let your hair down, let's celebrate
It's the weekend doll

It's Saturday, time to go out and find me a party
I wanna play, got to have you all over my body
I feel nasty, when the music hits me I get real naughty
And I wanna play, yeah, if you feel me go raise your hand somebody

Sunny skies it's a beautiful day
Money wise it's a beautiful day
When the sun goes down all the fun goes down
Thongs go down and tongues go down
She looking for a man I'm like damn, look at this here
I'm looking for a freak, but not this freak here
It's time to switch gears, full speed ahead
Some weed and some head
New sheets on the bed
All they want is sex, trees, and ecstasy
All I want is all bitches all next to me
Surrounding me, all around me
Hounding me like they all wanna pound me
And I'mma just let them, I'mma just hit them
Like it's my birthday, everyday a workday
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday work
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...

It's Saturday, time to go out and find me a party
I wanna play, got to have you all over my body
I feel nasty, when the music hits me I get real naughty
And I wanna play, yeah, if you feel me go raise your hand somebody

That's how I do it pimping, woke up with two beautiful women
I'm 'bout to hit the carwash and the barbershop
Then I might dip to the mall and shop
Just ate at a nice little breakfast joint
On my favorite day, so what's the point?
The whole town's in a good mood
Smoking good weed, eating good food
And I'm thinking, wish I could go the beach
The girls flirting, damn, they must know I'm a freak
You wanna be the best I ever had in my life?
Shoulda seen what I did last Saturday night
Told these girls in my stable
Call the VIP house and reserve a table
And make sure you wear a new fit
Rock and patron man we too lit

It's Saturday, time to go out and find me a party
I wanna play, got to have you all over my body

I feel nasty, when the music hits me I get real naughty
And I wanna play, yeah, if you feel me go raise your hand somebody
