[1st Verse]
Bm7 F#m7
One, two, three, and to the four
F#m7 Bm7
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door
Bm7 F#m7
Ready to make an entrance so back on up
F#m7 Bm7
('Cause you know we're about to rip shit up)
Bm7 F#m7
Give me the microphone first so I can bust like a bubble
F#m7 Bm7
Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
Bm7 F#m7
Ain't nothing but a G thang, baby
F#m7 Bm7
Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy
Bm7 F#m7
Death Row is the label that pays me
F#m7 Bm7
Unfadeable so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
Bm7 F#m7
But um, back to the lecture at hand
F#m7 Bm7
Perfection is perfected, so I'mma let 'em understand
Bm7 F#m7
From a young G's perspective
F#m7 Bm7
And before me dig out a bitch, I have to find a contraceptive
Bm7 F#m7
You never know, she could be earning her man
F#m7 Bm7
And learning her man and at the same time burning her man
Bm7 F#m7
Now you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
F#m7 Bm7
Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it (Yeah)
Bm7 F#m7
And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
F#m7 Bm7
And now you hookers and hoes know how I feel
Bm7 F#m7
Well, if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
F#m7 Bm7
I take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
[Chorus]
Bm7 F#m7
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
F#m7 Bm7
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
F#m7 Bm7
(Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom)
[2nd Verse]
Bm7 F#m7
Well I'm peeping and I'm creeping and I'm creep-in
F#m7 Bm7
But I damn near got caught, 'cause my beeper kept beeping
Bm7 F#m7
Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
F#m7 Bm7
So sit back, relax and strap on your seat belt
Bm7 F#m7
You never been on a ride like this before
F#m7 Bm7
With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
Bm7 F#m7
At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
F#m7 Bm7
You know and I know, I flow some old funky shit
Bm7 F#m7
To add to my collection, the selection
F#m7 Bm7
Symbolizes dope, take a toke but don't choke
Bm7 F#m7
If you do, you'll have no clue
F#m7 Bm7
Of what me and my homie Snoop Dogg came to do
[Chorus]
Bm7 F#m7
It's like this and like that and like this and uh
F#m7 Bm7
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
Bm7 F#m7
It's like this and who gives a fuck about those?
F#m7 Bm7
(So just chill till the next episode)
[3rd Verse]
Bm7 F#m7
Falling back on that ass, with a hellafied gangsta lean
F#m7 Bm7
Getting funky on the mic like a old batch of collard greens
Bm7 F#m7
It's the capital S, oh yes I'm fresh, N-double O-P
F#m7 Bm7
D-O-double G-Y, D-O-double G, ya see
Bm7 F#m7
Showing much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
F#m7 Bm7
Pimping hoes and clocking a grip like my name was Dolomite
Bm7 F#m7
Yeah, and it don't quit
F#m7 Bm7
I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit (Hell yeah)
Bm7 F#m7
So Dre (What up Dogg?)
F#m7 Bm7
Gotta give them what they want (What's that, G)
Bm7 F#m7
We gotta break 'em off something (Hell yeah)
F#m7 Bm7
And it's gotta be bumping, City of Compton
Bm7 F#m7
Is where it takes place so, when asked, your attention
F#m7 Bm7
Mobbing like a motherfucker but I ain't lynching
Bm7 F#m7
Dropping the funky shit that's making the sucker niggas mumble
F#m7 Bm7
When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie| they all crumble
Bm7 F#m7
Try to get close, and your ass'll get smacked
F#m7 Bm7
My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
Bm7 F#m7
Never let me slip, 'cause if I slip then I'm slipping
F#m7 Bm7
But if I got my Nina then you know I'm straight tripping
Bm7 F#m7
And I'mma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
F#m7 Bm7
And if you bitches talk shit, I'll have to put the smack down
Bm7 F#m7
Yeah and you don't stop
F#m7 Bm7
I told you I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
Bm7 F#m7
But I'm never off, always on to the break of dawn
F#m7 Bm7
C-O-M-P-T-O-N and the city they call Long Beach
Bm7 F#m7
Putting the shit together
F#m7 Bm7
Like my nigga D.O.C., no one can do it better
[Chorus Outro]
Bm7 F#m7
Like this, that, and this and uh
F#m7 Bm7
It's like that and like this and like that and uh
Bm7 F#m7
It's like this and who gives a fuck about those?
F#m7 Bm7
(So just chill till the next episode)
