Regulate

[Intro]
Em           Cmaj7
  Regulators.     We regulate any stealin' of his property.
                  Bm7 F#m7
We’re damn good too.
    Bm7                Em
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.
Cmaj7            Bm7      F#m7 Bm7
     Regulators, mount up!

[Verse 1]
         Em
It was a clear black night,
a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets tryin' to consume
     Cmaj7
Some skirts for the eve so I can get some funk
              Bm7   F#m7         Bm7
Rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone
     Em
Just hit the east side of the L B C
On a mission tryna find Mr. Warren G
       Cmaj7
Seen a car  full of girls,
ain't no need to tweak
                           Bm7     F#m7  Bm7
All you skirts know what's up with 2   1 3
      Em
So, I hooks a left on 2 1 and Lewis
Some brothers shootin' dice,
so I said "Let's do this!"
  Cmaj7
I jumped out the ride and said "What's up?"
                          Bm7
Some brothers pulled some gats,
     F#m7     Bm7
so I said "I'm   stuck!"
            Em
Since these girls peepin' me I'ma glide and swerve
These hookers lookin' so hard they straight hit the curb
     Cmaj7
Onto bigger,
better things than some horny tricks
                        Bm7        F#m7    Bm7
I see my homie and some suckas all in  his mix

[Verse 2]
    Em
I'm gettin' jacked, I'm breakin' myself
I can't believe they takin' Warren's wealth
     Cmaj7
They took my rings, they took my Rolex
                Bm7            F#m7
I looked at the brothers, said "Damn,
      Bm7
what's   next?"
            Em
They got my homie hemmed up and they all around
Can't none of them see him if they goin' straight
poundforpound
           Cmaj7
They wanna come up real quick before they start to clown
                   Bm7                F#m7   Bm7
I best pull out my strap and lay them bustas down
         Em
They got guns to my head,
I think I'm goin' down
I can't believe it's happenin' in my own town
         Cmaj7
If I had wings I would fly,
let me contemplate
                 Bm7       F#m7   Bm7
I glanced in the cut and I see my homie Nate
   Em
Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
         Cmaj7
Now they droppin' and yellin',
it's a tad bit late
                     Bm7       F#m7 Bm7
Nate Dogg and Warren G  had to regulate

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Bm7 F#m7 Bm7       Em
            I laid all them bustas down,
I let my gat explode
Now I'm switchin' my mind back into freak mode
Cmaj7
If   you want skirts,
sit back and observe
                      Bm7       F#m7         Bm7
I just left a gang of hoes over there on the curb
Now,
Em
Nate got the freaks and that's a known fact
Before I got jacked I was on the same track
Cmaj7
Back up, back up, 'cause it's on
         Bm7     F#m7      Bm7
NATE and me, the Warren to the G
Em
Just like I thought,
they were in the same spot
                              Cmaj7
In need of some desperate help
But Nate Dogg and the G child
                Bm7       F#m7 Bm7
Were in need of somethin' else
Em
One of them dames was sexy as hell
I said, "Ooh, I like your size!"
She said,
    Cmaj7
"My car's broke down and you seem real nice
             Bm7   F#m7  Bm7
Would you let   me ride?"
        Em
I got a car full of girls and it's goin' real swell
         Cmaj7                  Bm7 F#m7 Bm7 Em
The next stop is the Eastside Motel

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Bm7 F#m7
Bm7    Em
   I'm tweaking into a whole new era
Gfunk, step to this, I dare ya
Cmaj7
Funk on a whole new level
                  Bm7          F#m7    Bm7
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble
Em                                 Cmaj7
Chords, strings, we brings melody, Gfunk

[Outro]
                              Bm7      F#m7 Bm7
Where rhythm is life and life is rhythm
Em
  If you know like I know,
you don't wanna step to this
Cmaj7
     It's the Gfunk era,
                  Bm7     F#m7 Bm7
funked out with a gangsta twist
Em
  If you smoke like I smoke,
then you're high like every day
Cmaj7
     And if yo' ass is a busta,
           Bm7 F#m7 Bm7
2 1 3 will regulate
