Somethin to
Warren G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suckas be hatin when they know we makin cash
I don't give a fuck I'm still down and ready to smash
Haters be sayin Warren G fell off
How is that when I put the beach and Snoop on the map
The only way they comin to jack you
You better come right to save case and glocks on site
Ain't know body I know checkin for you
It's a million and one ways to what people say
They gone say what they say but they fail to display
Where I went wrong, can't I do right
In the city I face snitches, with no britches
Quick to judge and hold a grudge
and all this time I showed them love
Hook: [Warren G]
This is something fo you to bounce to
It's for the summer time I'm a hit switches for you
This is something for you to bounce to
This is something for you to bounce to
This is something for you to bounce to
This is something for you to bounce to
(Soopafly)
It's them niggas from the LBC
and we back with the stone cold mack
'cause the summer time bout to crack
Bud and the bitches come free
It's so lovely dippin wit the Dub G G'd up blazin weed up
Rollin wit a shooby doo
A nine at least let alone die in peace on the eastside
These niggas really keepin' it G
If they don't then they wount, fuck a hater nigga I keep a heat
I am P Soopafly bond to go double plat
Fuck a rat I'm a show you where the trouble at
Step to close I let the duce go strut off wit two hoes
Look how the juice flows
It's a party and the eyes on me
As I fall in with a small grin, talkin with the tall kain in my hand
I'm so cool, I swear I'm do that damn thang
So vicious with my champain bitches
Hook: [Warren G]
[Warren G]
G'd dub what's really crackin with you
I just signed with universal this game so personal
What's up with you and your boy Snoop
That's my dogg for life how you figure we ain't tight
What's up with 2-1-3
It's comin so start your tape that's runnin
They want to know is you keepin it G'd
As big Lou Dogg from 21st street
It's amazin how time flys
Some time I sit back and wonder why
Most people don't keep it tight
and most G'z don't G it right
and me I always bounce it right
Make you wiggle that ass till you get it right
Baby what you perkin for
Mo' bounce to the ounce if you wan't some more
Hook: [Warren G]

It's amazin how time flys
It is remarkable how time passes quickly
Some time I sit back and wonder why
Sometimes I reflect and wonder about the meaning of things
Most people don't keep it tight
Most people do not stay loyal and honest
and most G'z don't G it right
Most gangstas do not stay true to their roots
and me I always bounce it right
I am always authentic and true to myself
Make you wiggle that ass till you get it right
This song will make you dance properly
Baby what you perkin for
Why are you so hyped up and excited?
Mo' bounce to the ounce if you wan't some more
If you want more, there's more to come, so keep dancing
