G-funk Classics, Vol. 1-2

(chorus)
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world

If this were my world you know what i'd do
Take a million dollars out the bank, would you
Give a half a million to the chronic man
Yes i would do it, cause i can
If this were my world you know who i'd screw
All the motherfuckers that be screwin you
Not that i'm trying to get elected man
I would set trip because i can
If this were my world the holidays would be
One for famous black folk and one for me
Just in case you dont know who i be
Make a holiday for the g-funk king
If this were my world things would go my way
Every single day i'd have one more day
And if ever anybody got in my way
All i can say is first we pray - first we pray

(chorus)
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world

If this were my world you could bet i'd clown
Have a mini mansion in every town
Fan mail comin in from all around
Asking me where did i get that gangsta sound
If this were my world it would only be me
Standin on the top of the industry
Bouncin like a baller over tight-ass beats
Remind yourself that can't nobody can bust like me
If this were my world everyday there'd be
Another young brother claimin d.p.g.
Raised from the gutter taught to make money
Why do niggaz talk about what they can't see
If this were my world i'd take my gangsta name
Set it at the top right next to fortune and fame
Finally i got myself up out of them chains
If they lock you up don't let em capture your brain

(chorus)
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world

If this were my world, you now what i'd do
Buy me a spaceship and a condo on the moon
If this were my world, i'd have a low low crew
We'd go roll your hood and do what gangstas do

If this were my world

(chorus) x2
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world
If this were my world (if this were my world) my world

[nate dogg]
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them
Friends, how many of us have them

[snoop doggy dogg]
Every since i could remember
I had friends i could depend on
Clothes to lend 'em
But as time went by
My life got a little strange
And the rules of the game seem to change
Trust, honesty and devotion
And money, money, money is the poison potion
There's no way that i can even say
That this game has been good to me
Or even bad to me it had to be
Cause tragically the way this shit
Cracked off for doggy dogg was magically
And now i'm gettin' everything i'm supposed to get
But my friendship with niggaz always ends up as bulshit
I listen to my momma though
She always tried to prepare me
Byt how could she do what i
I mean i'm do or die
But my life on the streets
That shit is suicide
So to cope i got a dogg and a locc
And keep my heat close in case these jokes go for broke
I'm mashin' with the click 2-1-3 that is
They my homeboys ever since kids-
Real friends to the end

Chorus [nate dogg]:

Hangin' out with my homies and i'm feelin' just fine
I've been ponderin' lately
A lot of different things on my mind
It seems lately my friends list
Done took a slight decline
And if you wanna know the trith man, man
Them wasn't no friends of mine

[warren g]
You jackin' me up, you takin' my cash
All my life l-b-c, for my city i mash
All those ogs and bgs and wannabies and l-o-cs
The only friends i got is my 2-1-3s
That's my nigga snoop d woop and my nigga n-a-t-e
I can't forget about my nigga h to the deezy
Pressure and strikes
Don't wann take no lives
But these jaws, cracks and hood cracks
Will make you break bizacks
"whussup homie, can i borrow some cash?"
Last week i agve you 500, so kiss my ass
I got a baby to feed
A familly to see through
And shake busta snitches tweekin' like you
Homies and friends that's what they for
Stayin' tight and money right
And bustin' with a 44.

Chorus (x2)

People where are you going
People where are you going

Everybody wants to play the game
But nobody wants to lose
I see my people die everyday
That's why i sing the blues
Now tell me who wants to roll with me
Take a look at my world
I see some problems
Maybe you can help me solve them
Turn boys to men
And make women from girls
I see my loved ones turning to drugs
Almost everyday i lose another one
Where are you going i ask you one and all
Anyone can answer
I betcha' they dont know

People where are you going
People where are you going

What if i could save my nation
What if i could save my friends
If i had the whole worlds attention
What if people were really listening
I would tell them that i'm no good without them
I would tell them together we can stand
Another message to brothers, colors bother
I'd introduce them to the hardest man in town
Somebody thell me please

People where are you going
People where are you going

Where are you going i ask you one and all
Anyone can answer
I betcha' they dont know

People where are you going
People where are you going

Black people dont have no, no where to go
You know, all we got to do is kick it
We gonna kick it in our hood, you know
What we gonna do, we might
We might go kill a couple of niggaz mane
You know, go in they hood and do a drive-by
Then come back in the hood and laugh about that stuff
You know, its just a thing
Only how you really gonna get deep into it
Is when one of your homeys die
Just like when my partnaz died
(we got some problems)

(chorus)
First we pray, then we ride
First we pray, then we ride

He was my brother
Loved him like no other
To top it off
I introduced him to this game
I knew his mother
Loved her like my mother
Part of me is gone
Bout take my brother home

[bridge]
(what're ya gonna do)
When the trials come
(are ya gonna run?)
Are you gonna run?
(what're ya gonna do)
First i'm gonna pray
(are ya gonna run?)
You muthafuckin right

(chorus)
First we pray, then we ride
First we pray, then we ride

[kurupt]
I aint got nuthin but love for you loccs and hogs
And i ain't got nuthin but love for my muthafuckin dogs
In the mist of the war zone, its on on site
Daylight tonight the heat held close and tight
Beware here i come with the dpg on my chest
Heat gonna spit like elliot ness
In the darkest zone you feel alone and on your own
And after i bust, niggaz call me kurupt coleone
All i'm about is money, loot and cash
Homeys in the dpg nate, snoop and daz
Now with these emotions how you approach yourself
Knowin you all about your wealth and as it is to health
First i pray, get my thoughts intact
Ask for forgiveness cuz i'm bout to lay this nigga flat
Can you adapt, can you feel me, i doubt it
Cuz the closest you see it, is when niggaz write about it
I can't live without it and it ain't shit i could do
But stay down with the homeys in grey and blue
So just keep the heat close in hand
Cuz i done see niggaz get shit while they homeboys ran

[nate dogg]
Heavenly father shine your light on me
I know i promise to slow down on this weed
Seems i remember someone used to say
One life gets taken, if you take one life away

[bridge]
(what're ya gonna do)
When the trials come
(are ya gonna run?)
Are you gonna run?
(what're ya gonna do?)
First i'm gonna pray
(are ya gonna run?)
You muthafuckin right

(chorus) x2
First we pray, then we ride
First we pray, then we ride

[chorus - nate dogg x2]
I don't wanna hurt no more
I don't wanna hurt no more
I don't wanna hurt no more
I, but the rain keeps comin down

[nate dogg]
Man i been thinkin lately
About the way the world just be changin
Is it a sin to be chasin paper
I can't count the niggas dyin lately
It's the grave or incarceration
I know you hurt but you can't replace em
You go and dig a hole then erase em
You just created a smaller nation
A jail cell is all that's waitin
Look at all the progress you're makin
I really hope you're kinda patient
You facin 25 no probation
2 for 1 is multiplication
You're freedom is all their takin
Is it best to be dead or pacin
All cos you couldn't take it

Chorus (x2)

[danny "butch" means]
How can i concentrate
With all the problems that i face
I often ask myself if there's a place
Where i can get away (where i can get away)
I keep my head to the sky
And try to maintain my pace
If i don't then i'm gone
Somebody gone take my place
No need to go too fast
Cos i know a little time it takes
But my situation's bad
I'll be jackin soon at this rate
I ain't tryin to make you mad
It's a plain and simple fact you face
If you're broke you hurt most
From all the bullshit you take

Chorus (x2)

[nate dogg]
Lately i've been feelin like givin up (don't give up)
The pain inside makes me wanna reach out and touch
Someone, anyone who feels that i ain't been hurt enough
You best duck or get stuck
Cos man i been hurtin for months

No more, no more, no more, no more
I've been hurtin a while
No more, no more, no more, no more
And i don't wanna hurt no more
No more, no more, no more, no more
Don't wanna hurt no more
But the rain keeps comin down

Chorus to fade

Will the hardest man please stand, the homie stood right up
Saggin pants, gat in hand, the nigga was a nut
Looney low key, o.g., been bangin from the jump
Dressed in all black, ready to jack, and he still don't give a fuck
A friend of of mine, he used to be, before i got caught up
He used to roll with me, way back in '93, when i was broke as fuck
Be prepared to blast, that's all that he ask, if he's to ride wit you
We gonna make some cash, and dash, you can toss him when ya through

[chorus]
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man in town
The hardest man around

Little big man, don't you see me lyin here; pick me up, if you dare
I'll make you're life easier, cuz i'll be pumpin fear
Disrespect, you don't have to take
If you see him comin, just wave me in his face
But you ain't the only one that got a friend like me
So hurry up, let's go, i'm kind of tired of being broke
I know you gotta get paid, i can show you the way
So take me home, polish the chrome
Load me up, and put me to his dome
I got a lot work to do, so toss me and be gone

You're a big man now
You're a big man now
You're a big man now
You're a big man now

I told you once before i'm pumpin fear
Nobody's gonna step to you, let them know i'm here
And if you have questions in the corner of your mind
Pull the trigger, and leave your questions behind

[chorus] until fade

(chorus)
No matter where i go
I'm lettin' people know
No matter where you go the grass is always green
No matter what you say
You gotta' release the chains
I think it's time i set my spirit free

(verse 1)
No matter where i go
I'm lettin' people know
That the pace is never stalling
Even if the sky is falling
I'll never be afraid
As long as i keep my faith
Even if i am still crawling
Won't be mad 'cause some are balling
But man without the trust, without the loyalty
When you watch your dog just starving
Don't get mad when they start barkin'
Here's a suggestion man
Why don't we just wash our hands
'cause i'm peepin' other pastures
I think it's time i'm my own master.

(chorus)
No matter where i go
I'm lettin' people know
No matter where you go the grass is always green
No matter what you say
You gotta' release the chains
I think it's time i set my spirit free

(verse 2)
Long ago i told my homie
Some people are so damn phony
Sure as the wind blows
They'll try to take your dough
On and on man they just keep comin'
'til i'm dead man i'm never runnin'
Fear i just don't know
If it's your time you gotta' go
But what about the trust what about the loyalty
When the have no respect for you
It's fuck 'em or call your lawyer
Here's a suggestion man
Why don't' we just wash our hands
'cause i'm peepin' other pastures
I think it's time i'm my own master.

(chorus)
No matter where i go
I'm lettin' people know
No matter where you go the grass is always green
No matter what you say
You gotta' release the chains
I think it's time i set my spirit free

(bridge)
Here's to my family
Here's to the ones i really love
Here's to the inmates
And that's who made death row #1
Here's to the foundation
And that's where, where it started from
Here's to real freedom
They tell me makin' music's fun
When you got no shackles on your feet

(chorus)
No matter where i go
I'm lettin' people know
No matter where you go the grass is always green
No matter what you say
You gotta' release the chains
I think it's time i set my spirit free

(chorus)
Me and my homies tho
You know we kick it like everyday
Me and my homies, kick it like everyday

[nate dogg]
But i'm alone in my room
And i dont have no one to talk to
I catch a girl with my phone
And cause some folks who know what i go through
After i smoke a joint, come on
To keep my temper low
I parlay with my friends
There's really no where else to go

(chorus) x2
Me and my homies though
You know we kick it like everyday
Me and my homies, kick it like everyday

[2 pac]
I ain't shit without my homeboys
Rather be buried, then see us party
Keep it close to my heart
Cuz we the ones that got the shit started
You recollect, we used to bust on snithces
Nobody come before my niggaz, fuck all y'all bitches
All my homeboys are self sufficient
So be suspicious of your scandalous tricks
Got the police takin our pictures
Love to hang out on the corner but we known to ride
Me and my muthafuckin homeboys down to die
For each other, cuz we closer than brothers
Its like you came in, no forgettin the party poppin
When my squad walks in
Throw up your hands baby buy me a drink, stop actin phony
Dont forget tto bring something for all my homies
To know me is to love a thug nigga to the fullest, duckin bullets,
Snatchin guns when these trick niggaz pull it
Handle my business like a professional, the whole world knows me
But i ain't shit without my fuckin homies
Me and my fuckin homies

(chorus)
Me and my homies though
You know we kick it like everyday
Me and my homies
Kick it like everyday

[intro/chorus - x4]
Stone cold baby
Stone cold baby
Stone cold baby
As cold as can be

Hey let's party y'all
All i wanna do is have a good time
Tonight it's goin down
Hey just roll it up
It don't matter who's at the party
Somebody's leavin with me
Hey let's set it off
I see the girl that i want (that i want)
I see the girl that wants me
Hey it's gettin hot
But before my body gets bothered
Let me tell you this about me
Momma kicked me out when i was sixteen
Woke up the next mornin with some d-o-g's
I felt a little bad but i had money
Went and bought some dope and some blue khakis
While you were hangin out in the promised land
I was growin up on the long beach sand
So if you're intentions were to leave with me
Remember when i'm satisfied
I'm just as cold as can be, stone cold

[chorus]

Damn this is a cavi beat
I feel like takin time on this beat
To smash you all
But teachers are supposed to teach
So i'ma teach and you gon' listen or else you got to fall
To battle that's a thing that i've always done
Never lost a battle that means i'm number one
Don't hang with cowards cos they always run
If you be rollin with cowards don't forget your gun (ahhhh)
Damn i really love to compete
Another victim i would love to delete
Come one come all
Taste the agony of defeat
But i know how sneaky niggas can be
When e're they fall

Some niggas try to take my cash
Dumb niggas try to make me blast
These days it's kinda hard to laugh
I gotta host of new friends i never had in the past

Some niggas try to take my cash
Dumb niggas try to make me blast
These days it's kinda hard to laugh
I gotta host of new friends i never had in the past
Stone cold

[chorus - x4]

Hey let's party y'all
All i wanna do is have a good time
Tonight it's goin down
Hey just roll it up
It don't matter who's at the party
Somebody's leavin with me
*repeat x2*

When the cats, awake
The mice will play
Thats what the people say
All i know is doggs play anyways
Cuz i play everyday
You do it too dont lie
Soon as you're out my site
I seen you creepin by
While i was creepin mine
While i was checkin out
I saw you checkin in
I shoulda knocked you out
But i was with your friend

X2
Because i got a girl, dont mean we can't talk
Because i got a girl, dont mean i wont break you off
X4
(come on) come on girl let me heed it
(come on) meet me at the deli thats if you're weeded

Back in the days i used to like bitches
But i tell you nowadays bitches ain't shit
And if you wonder why i say this
I've had a few bitches and bitches think they slick
Runnin around, playin all my niggaz
Trying to split a brother from his grip
Got all these bustaz watchin me
But i tell you right now hoe, i dont slip
I'd like to give a shout out to my favorite girl
But i wont you know why, because she's a trick
And if i give a shout out to a sneaky bitch
I got to give a shout to the nigga she's sneakin with
(and all my homeys say)

(chorus x4)
Because i got a girl, dont mean we can't talk
(come on girl let me heed it)
Because i got a girl, dont mean i wont break you off
(meet me at the deli thats if you're weeded)
(x4)
Come on girl let me heed it
Meet me at the deli thats if you're weeded

Cuz i have never met a girl
That i love in the whole wide world

(chorus)
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day

(verse 1)
Wake up early in the mornin' man
Runnin' kinda' late i gotta' catch my plane
Feelin' kinda' funny from the weed and thangs'
Kinda' glad i woke up so i can't complain
I really need a break from this paper chase
But my girl ain't gonna' wait for the diamond ring
My son ain't got to wait for no proper clothes
So i'm gone take a trip and do a couple of shows
So many different things be runnin' through my head
It's mandatory that i keep my family fed
On come the stompin' boots and i'm out there again
Seems like this crazy pace is never gonna' end.

(chorus)
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day

(verse 2)
I'm on a mission man, i'm fired up
They let me taste it man
And now i'm hooked
Ain't nobody standin' on the wall
I bust the way i bust because the feel it ya'll
People got opinions all about me ya'll
Got a lot of girls so they call me dogg
Constantly around me is friends and foes
Say the wrong thing bet i bust your nose
I gotta' give give it up to niggaroes
Even thought at times we fuck the same hoes
All the other niggas i'ma let you know
Ain't no player hatin' go for what you know
And if you see a girl that i'd like to lay
Feel free to send her my way

(chorus)
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day
Just another day

(bridge)
If i call you baby would you swing my way tonight
I got somethin' for you that i'm sure you're gonna' like.
If i call you baby would you swing my way tonight
I got somethin' for you that i'm sure you're gonna' like.

(bridge)
And we can do it all night
I bet i hit it just right

(chorus)
Just another day
Just another day

Just another day

Chorus(nate):

Never leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Never leave me alone (never leave me aloooone)
Leave me alone (never leave me alone)
Never leave me alone

Verse 1 (nate dogg):
They tell me that temptation.....ooh, is very hard to resist
You tell me that you want me....i tried to hide my feelings, d-o-g's
Ain't supposed to feel like this
You can call it what you want to....but i don't even know what it is
You've got me singin' in the morning....you bring me breakfast in my bed
And when it hurts you rub my head
I'll ask you one time only....baby, won't you be there when it's hectic
When i don't have a hit record (never leave me alone)

Chorus

Verse 2 (nate dogg):
I've traveled so many places....i've seen so many faces
There were times i didn't think i'd make it through (alone)
I went through so many phases....that got me so many cases
Three strikes you're gonna' then what you gonna do
I guess i'll call my lady....and tell her to kiss my baby
They tell me that crime is all i know how to do
Tell him his daddy's sorry....let him know all about me
There's one more thing i'd really like for you to do

Chorus

Verse 3 (snoop dogg)
Somebody was naughty when they snitched on me
And the judge just sentenced me to do about a century
I'm mobbin' through the county mainline
Back in 9500 just tryin' to handle mine
Spittin' game at the homies about the good ol' days
As we try to pass time waiting for the chain to chino
I see no reason to cry but i miss my baby boo
And my nigga spanky too
It's true that the dirt i did from an o.g. to a snotty nose kid
Got me caught up in the rapture like maze days gone by
And real g's gon cry
But i try to walk the yard with my head to the sky
And hope my baby boo ain't fuckin niggas on the outside
But what's the chance it ain't crackin
If i was out and she was in i'd probably be mackin
I can't lie
So i say i would now my girl in a world of playahood
A playa should show a nigga love and look our
But the niggas i know would probably turn your ass out
So keep away better yet stay away
And hope i get out one day, ok
But if i don't i guess this is home
My girl is trippin she got a block on the phone

(chorus)

[nate dogg] (barbara wilson)
Homey it's rainin
Ten below zero
Kinda cold outside (kinda cold outside)
Yes it is cold (kinda cold outside)
Tornado, hurricane, and high tide
(and a high tide, and a high high tide)
I tell you why homey
Had a homeboy, down with me
Or so he said (or so he said, that's what he said)
Yes he did homey
But as it turned out
He wasn't down with nate dogg (no, no)
He was down with bread (he was down with bread, all for himself)
You know what's wrong
You, need to take your bad ass home
It's never too late, to go back, to where you come from, oh homey
It's never too late, to go back, to where you come from, mmm

Do you remember home? (do you remember home?)
Has it been that long (has it been that long?)
Since you been gone? (since you been gone)
Won't you come back home
Seems like it was yesterday (yesterday)
When you lost your way (when you lost your way)
And let your homies hang (let your homies hang)
All the while you got paid
Do you respect family?
Do you know what that mean?
To give everythang and not expect to receive
I gave all i had (all i had)
It really makes me mad (makes me mad)
To think i've been had (i've been had)
Let's forget about the past
But you know what's wrong
You, need to take your bad ass home
It's never too late, to go back, to where you come from, oh homey
It's never too late, to go back, to where you come from, mmm

[nate dogg]
I will lift my voice
And forever sing
Music gives me joy
May we always reign
And if i lose my way
May my family place
A foot where i can taste
A bitter sweet embrace
You know what's wrong
You, need to take your bad ass home
It's never too late, to go back, to where you come from, oh homey
It's never too late, to go back, to where you come from, mmm
