[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 [Verse 1: 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 [Verse 2: Nate Dogg] Just hit the Eastside 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 [Verse 3: 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" [Verse 4: 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 suckers all in his mix [Verse 5: 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 brothers, said, "Damn, what's next?" [Verse 6: 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 busters down [Verse 7: 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 [Verse 8: 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 Break] [Verse 9: Nate Dogg] I laid all them busters 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 [Verse 10: 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 [Verse 11: 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 Break] [Verse 12: Warren G & Nate Dogg] I'm tweaking into a whole new era G-funk, step to this, I dare you 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 [Verse 12: 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 gangster twist If you smoke like I smoke, then you're high like every day And if your ass is a buster, 213 will regulate
