Warren G feat. Jermaine Dupri & Nate Dogg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the so so def so I can make my collect
Private jet in motion, over the ocean
Touch down jungle air strip, CD's to flip
Feds having a cow
Gotta stay on the down low for now
Am I living foul?
Fuck that I'm living fat, I got the track
and it's like that
y'all the type of niggaz to blink and to come up all assed out
I'm the type to say fuck that and go cash out
All glassed out with the count of the bitch
Screaming nigga I ain't having that shit
I represent niggas that love to ball, and still be trappin'
And only drink outta the bottle with the gold wrappin'
If it's gon happen I'm the one that make it go down
Cool JD how you like me now?
I keep...
[Chorus: x2]
Havin' things
(We havin' things, havin' things)
Havin' things (yeah)
(We havin' things, havin' things)
I reminisce when it's like this
Real niggas get together yhey don't like this
So I'ma spice this
ATL, Long Beach to Cada
We been doing this for years for you paper haters
When the beach turned out fresh dress in eighty fo'
When JD was poppin' in houdinni's videos
Me and Nate was serving on the east side fo' sho
And in a game fo' a minute got a minute to go
What?
They should know now
(We havin' thangs, havin' thangs)
Don't sell your soul now
(To have things, have things)
Do what you feel now
(If you want things, want things)
Keep it real
(Keep it real y'all)
[Chorus: x2]
Come on out to my castle lady
See you thangs on your mind
Go on up to my bedroom baby
Tonight everything is just fine (all right)
Stay with me just little while longer
It's only a quarter to five
I can stay up late
Don't work in the morning
Havin' things is just fine
I'm a south coast nigga so fuck y'all niggas
With hate, Me and G V.I.P. at the gate with Nate
Bringing bitches to the table with they belly out
Fine as fuck, but steady trying to tell me how
They got a man but still want to get they drink on
I'm lookin at this hoes like "You ain't heard this song?"
If you drink this shit, it's time to leave
Fo' shi's
Fo' see's
It's 12:18
And we be...
[Chorus: x3]
In the first verse of "Havin' Things," Warren G raps about his aspirations to connect with Jermaine Dupri from the So So Def record label. He's flying with his team to a location in the jungle with CDs to sell, but wants to keep their activities under wraps from the Feds. Warren G also points out that although his detractors may have little or no financial resources, he has the money to make whatever he wants happen with his music. He speaks about the support of his team, which includes Don Chi Chi and Nate Dogg.
Next, Jermaine Dupri, also known as "Cool JD," takes over the rapping duties. He boasts about his luxurious lifestyle, from his flashy clothes to his taste for premium liquor. He represents the type of people who love to experience the best of everything yet remain true to their roots as hustlers. Jermaine Dupri also recounts his history with Nate Dogg and Warren G, reminiscing about their days serving in the east side and how they've been making music together for years.
The chorus is a celebratory refrain, repeating the phrase "havin' things" several times. It's a simple declaration of the good life that they're living and their determination to keep things real while doing so.
Overall, "Havin' Things" is a song that captures the essence of the rap lifestyle, from the private jets and fast cars to the loyal crew and endless partying. It's an ode to the joys of success and the pleasures that come with it, with each rapper taking turns to express their thoughts on what it means to be truly living life to the fullest.
