[Intro]
EmRegulators. We regulate any stealin' of his property. We're damn good too.
EmBut you can't be any geek off the street. You gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean.
EmEarn your keep. Regulators, mount up!
[Warren G]
EmIt was a clear black night, a clear white moon
EmWarren G was on the streets tryin' to consume
CSome skirts for the eve so I can get some phones
Cmaj7Rollin' in my Bm7ride, Am7chillin' all Bm7alone
[Nate Dogg]
EmJust hit the east side of the LBC
EmOn a mission tryin' to find Mr. Warren G
CSeen a car full of girls, ain't no need to tweak
Cmaj7All you skirts know what's Bm7up witAm7h 213Bm7
[Warren G]
EmSo I hooks a left on 21 and Lewis
EmSome brothers shootin' dice, so I said "Let's do this!"
CI jumped out the ride and said "What's up?"
Cmaj7Some brothers pulled some gBm7ats, so I Am7said "I'm Bm7stuck!"
[Nate Dogg]
EmSince these girls peepin' me I'ma glide and swerve
EmThese hookers lookin' so hard they straight hit the curb
COnto bigger, better things than some horny tricks
I see my Cmaj7homie and some sBm7uckas all Am7in his Bm7mix
[Warren G]
EmI'm gettin' jacked, I'm breakin' myself
EmI can't believe they takin' Warren's wealth
CThey took my rings, they took my Rolex
Cmaj7I looked at the Bm7brother, said "DAm7amn, what's Bm7next?"
[Nate Dogg]
They got my Emhomie hemmed up and they all around
EmCan't none of them see him if they goin' straight pound-for-pound
They wanna cCome up real quick before they start to clown
I best Cmaj7pull out my sBm7trap and lay them Am7bustas Bm7down
[Warren G]
EmThey got guns to my head, I think I'm goin' down
EmI can't believe it's happenin' in my own town
CIf I had wings I would fly, let me contemplate
Cmaj7I glanced in the Bm7cut and I Am7see my homiBm7e Nate
[Nate Dogg]
EmSixteen in the clip and one in the hole
EmNate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
CNow they droppin' and yellin', it's a tad bit late
Cmaj7Nate Dogg and Warren Bm7G had to Am7regulaBm7te
[Intro]
Em
[Nate Dogg]
I laid Emall them bustas down, I let my gat explode
EmNow I'm switchin' my mind back into freak mode
CIf you want skirts, sit back and observe
I just Cmaj7left a gang of Bm7hoes over tAm7here on the Bm7curb
[Warren G]
EmNow, Nate got the freaks and that's a known fact
EmBefore I got jacked I was on the same track
CBack up, back up, 'cause it's on
N-A-Cmaj7T-E and Bm7me, the Am7Warren to the Bm7G
[Nate Dogg]
EmJust like I thought, they were in the same spot
EmIn need of some desperate help
CBut Nate Dogg and the G child were in Cmaj7need of Bm7somethin' Am7elseBm7
EmOne of them dames was sexy as hell
EmI said "Ooh, I like your size!"
CShe said "My car's broke down and you seem real nice,
would Cmaj7you leBm7t me Am7ridBm7e?"
EmI got a car full of girls and it's goin' real swell
CThe next stop is the EastsCmaj7ide MoBm7telAm7 Bm7
[Intro]
Em
[Warren G]
EmI'm tweakin' into a whole new era
EmG-funk, step to this, I dare ya
CFunk on a whole new level
[Nate Dogg]
Cmaj7The rhythm is the Bm7bass and the Am7bass is the Bm7treble
[Warren G]
Em"Chords", strings, we brings melody
CG-funk, where rhythm is life and lCmaj7ife is Bm7rhyAm7thmBm7
[Nate Dogg]
EmIf you know like I know
EmYou don't wanna step to this
CIt's the G-funk era, funked oCmaj7ut with a gBm7angsta tAm7wistBm7
EmIf you smoke like I smoke
EmThen you're high like everyday
CAnd if yo' ass is a busta, Cmaj7213 wiBm7ll rAm7egulBm7ate
