Gangsta Love
Warren G feat. Kurupt Nate Dogg & RBX Lyrics

Call me Dub-A-Double-are-E
My name is Warren G and my initials are 'D.W.G.'

N be the end last letter be the G
The letter 'N' is the last letter in my name and 'G' stands for 'gangsta'

G be for Griffin, smiffin, like Wesson
'G' stands for Griffin, a reference to the car I drive, and 'smiffin' is just a made-up word. 'Wesson' refers to the gun company.

Niggaz, that be 'fessin
Men who are confessing to their crimes

I'm crushin your whole chest and
I'm dominating and overpowering my competition

In combat if they fat I'll skinny em
If my opponents are too heavy, I will defeat them easily

Six times the terror pass the Era to Millineum
My music and style will last for a long time - through the decade of the 90s and beyond.

G-Funk, bumpin in ya trunk
My type of music - G-funk - sounds best when played loudly in a car's trunk

Call me booshe nigga, LBC me nigga
People call me 'booshe' and I represent Long Beach, California

Straight from Long Beach
I come directly from the city of Long Beach

Where, we gets more naughtier than Comaneche
Long Beach is a place where people are more rebellious and wild than the Comanche Native American tribe.

Can you say roundoff hand spring
Can you perform a certain gymnastics move?

Do ya triple somersault fools will be flipped I'm sure
If you try to compete with us, you will be easily defeated and embarrassed.

Long Beach, right by the water
Long Beach is a city located next to the ocean.

Respect is due when you walk through the border
You must show respect when entering Long Beach and interacting with its residents.

Line, if you don't you might find your face in a gutter
If you act disrespectfully, you will likely get into a fight and be injured or knocked unconscious.

Long Beach will get ya wets
Long Beach can be a dangerous place that may result in injury or death.

The homey just whistled, gave us the signal
My friend signaled us to act recklessly and use our guns.

To act the fool with the pistols, pierce the gristle
To act in a wild and dangerous way with our guns, causing physical harm to others.

One way out homey, in the cut
We only have one way to escape - to hide out in a secluded location.

Heat cocked, beef for weeks, heat for block
Our guns are loaded and we have been involved in a feud for an extended period of time. Our guns are meant to intimidate and threaten others.

Techniques to rock, the blocks socks
My rapping skills are impressive and can shake the entire block.

Unorthodox, cannon cocking bandit nigga
My style is unconventional and I brandish my gun aggressively to intimidate others.

I daily rock the planet nigga
My music has a global impact and reaches people all over the world.

Scope out the vicinity, start seperatin(what?)
We are surveying our surroundings and identifying friend from foe.

those that's cool and those hatin
We are separating people into those who are friendly to us and those who are opposed.

Every nigga in between
We are also observing those who are neutral or undecided.

Got 5 seconds to evacuate the scene (yeah)
We are forcing others to leave the area immediately or face danger.

Hit the stash (nigga)
We are hiding our guns or other contraband somewhere safe.

Nigga what the fuck you want to do
What are you planning to do in response to our actions?

Talk, blast, nigga think fast, fast fast
You have three options: talk to us, shoot at us, or make a quick decision.

Hit a nigga wit a little gangsta love
We are showing our violent, macho side and attacking others.

Lets go to war, no, not with guns
We are not literally going to engage in a war with guns.

Blast you with heat, original beats they run
Our music is unique and exciting, and we will surprise and impress you.

Fast and faster, Master like P
Our music is quick-paced and aggressive, like the work of rapper Master P.

Or you can just say, Master Warren G
I am a master of my craft, much like Master P.

I'm bout it bout it, highly touted
I am confident in my abilities and highly respected in my field.

And I doubt it
I do not believe that anyone can surpass me or my music.

if I let another nigga take my tracks and re re-route it
I will not allow another person to steal my music or use it for their own purposes.

I truck more styles, like my Yukon I puke on
I am capable of performing different styles of music and my talent is effortless.

The rest of these niggaz, trying to contest
Other rappers are trying to compete with me or bring me down.

Hold up, who's speaking of contest, no, none of that
We do not want to engage in a competition or argument.

We get gats beats technique rat tat tat tat
We are armed with guns, good beats, and mastery of our craft.

Splat, and ya flat, pure satisfac
Our opponents will be quickly and decisively defeated.

X marks the spot of the brutal venacular
Our music is rough and encourages violence or aggressive behavior.

You drinks down like dracula
Our opponents are weak and vulnerable, like Dracula's victims.

Listen here buddy you'll be found left bloody
You will suffer physical harm if you try to challenge us.

Before ya hate, get ya weight up
Before you criticize us, you should improve your own skills or abilities.

Or get wet up now what up
Otherwise, you will face danger from us.

My nigga Warren G, uh huh
Warren G is one of my close friends or associates.

that's my OG
He is my 'original gangsta,' or a person who has been involved in gang culture for a long time.

My nigga Nate Dogg, my nigga Snoopy, my nigga RBX
These are some of my other close friends or associates, all of whom are also involved with gang culture or music.

They're my OGs, my real OGs
These people are my true mentors or role models in the gang culture and music scene.

You up against the aces nigga
You are facing the most skilled and talented opponents in the game.

It all takes place in many places nigga
Our battles and conflicts are happening all over the city, not just in one location.

Several different faces nigga
Our opponents come in many varieties and from many backgrounds.

The streets can watch me nigga
The people who live and work on the streets are watching and learning from me.

But the streets is up against Kurupt Momar Khadafi nigga
Even though the streets are watching me, they are also at odds with me and others in the gang culture.

OG, juggernaut, jagged edge, homey two to the head
I am an original gangsta and a powerful force, like a juggernaut. I am also dangerous and unpredictable, like a jagged edge. I will use my gun to forcefully kill my opponents.

As the sprinkle spread
As we continue to engage in violence, more and more people are becoming affected by it.

Death will kiss ya, fuck around with the Militia
If you mess with me or anyone in my gang, you will likely end up dead.

Stalking till the big homey Nate walked in
We are following and creeping around until Nate Dogg (our leader or boss) arrives to give us orders.

Same old niggaz in the same old place
The gang culture and violence in Long Beach is repetitive and ongoing.

Long Beach city is where I was raised
I grew up and was raised in Long Beach, which has had a major impact on my life and personality.

I keep my heater right by my side
I always have my gun with me and ready for use.

Won't stop mashin till I get my prize
I will continue to use violence and aggression until I get what I desire, whether that is money, power, or respect.

Even if you blind we can make you see
Even if you don't understand our message or our way of life, we can still force you to respect us and submit to our will.

The perfect combination Nate and Warren G
Nate Dogg and I make an unbeatable team, with our talents complementing each other perfectly.

When we bust we hit em everytime
When we unleash our aggression and violence, we always come out on top.

Ain't no secret its about that time
We are not trying to hide our intentions or our methods - it's time for us to start using our weapons and establishing our dominance.

Hit a nigga wit a little gangsta love
We are showing our violent and aggressive side, using our weapons and wits to destroy our opponents.

Gangsta love
This phrase refers to the violent affection and close camaraderie that exists within the gang culture, which is based on loyalty, respect, and the use of force to achieve one's goals.
