Regulate

(album: Regulate...G Funk Era - 1994)

Regulators. We regulate any stealing of his property. We're damn good too. But you can't be any geek off the street. You gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean. Earn your keep. Regulators, mount up!

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets trying to consume
Some skirts for the eve so I can get some funk
Rolling in my ride, chilling all alone
Just hit the east side of the LBC
On a mission tryna find Mr. Warren G
Seen a car full of girls, ain't no need to tweak
All you skirts know what's up with 213
So, I hooks a left on 21 and Lewis
Some brothers shooting dice, so I said "Let's do this!"
I jumped out the ride and said "What's up?"
Some brothers pulled some gats, so I said "I'm stuck!"
Since these girls peeping me I'ma glide and swerve
These hookers looking so hard they straight hit the curb
Onto bigger, better things than some horny tricks
I see my homie and some suckas all in his mix

I'm getting jacked, I'm breaking myself
I can't believe they taking Warren's wealth
They took my rings, they took my Rolex
I looked at the brothers, said "Damn, what's next?"
They got my homie hemmed up and they all around
Can't none of them see him if they going straight pound-for-pound
They wanna come up real quick before they start to clown
I best pull out my strap and lay them bustas down
They got guns to my head, I think I'm going down
I can't believe it's happening in my own town
If I had wings I would fly, let me contemplate
I glanced in the cut and I see my homie Nate
Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Now they dropping and yelling, it's a tad bit late
Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate

I laid all them bustas down, I let my gat explode
Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
If you want skirts, sit back and observe
I just left a gang of hoes over there on the curb
Now, Nate got the freaks and that's a known fact
Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Back up, back up, 'cause it's on
N-A-T-E and me, the Warren to the G
Just like I thought, they were in the same spot
In need of some desperate help
But Nate Dogg and the G child
Were in need of something else
One of them dames was sexy as hell
I said, "Ooh, I like your size!"
She said, "My car's broke down and you seem real nice
Would you let me ride?"
I got a car full of girls and it's going real swell
The next stop is the Eastside Motel

I'm tweaking into a whole new era
G-funk, step to this, I dare ya
Funk on a whole new level
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble
Chords, strings, we brings melody, G-funk
Where rhythm is life and life is rhythm
If you know like I know, you don't wanna step to this
It's the G-funk era, funked out with a gangsta twist
If you smoke like I smoke, then you're high like every day
And if yo' ass is a busta, 213 will regulate
