Regulate

[Intro] Regulators. We regulate any stealin' 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!

[Warren G] It was a clear black night, a clear white moon Warren G was on the streets tryin' to consume Some skirts for the eve so I can get some phones Rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone

[Nate Dogg] Just hit the east side of the LBC On a mission tryin' to 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

[Warren G] So I hooks a left on 21 and Lewis Some brothers shootin' 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!"

[Nate Dogg] Since these girls peepin' me I'ma glide and swerve These hookers lookin' 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

[Warren G] I'm gettin' jacked, I'm breakin' myself I can't believe they takin' Warren's wealth They took my rings, they took my Rolex I looked at the brother, said "Damn, what's next?"

[Nate Dogg] They got my homie hemmed up and they all around Can't none of them see him if they goin' 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

[Warren G] They got guns to my head, I think I'm goin' down I can't believe it's happenin' 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

[Nate Dogg] Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold Now they droppin' and yellin', it's a tad bit late Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Nate Dogg] I laid all them bustas down, I let my gat explode Now I'm switchin' 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

[Warren G] 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

[Nate Dogg] 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 somethin' 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 goin' real swell The next stop is the Eastside Motel

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Warren G] I'm tweakin' into a whole new era G-funk, step to this, I dare ya Funk on a whole new level

[Nate Dogg] The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble

[Warren G] Chords, strings, we brings melody G-funk, where rhythm is life and life is rhythm

[Nate Dogg] 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 everyday And if yo' ass is a busta, 213 will regulate
