Nah, Nah... Lyrics

[Intro: E-40]
For real
Uh
Oh boy, due to the graphic game-orien-fested-ness of this program, viewer discretion is advised
I promise you, pimpin', I mean it, it's so many LRPs
Long Range Pimpin' jumping up on this track, man, you under-dig? (Uh-uh)
We spit these LRPs and we do this damn thing real tough-like, you under-dig?
So this a bitch, come on

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
The homies done made it
I'm so elated
Got all the ladies
Oh, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Don't try to play me
Just 'cause I'm faded
Don't think that I'm crazy
Woah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah


[Verse 1: E-40 & Nate Dogg]
But, Nate Dogg, what if my bankroll was to fall?
Think she'll cut from me? Think she'll stand tall through it all?
Think she'll boost for me? Steal me a pair of duh-dunta-dunts from the mall? (Hell nah)
Bear it all, pose naked in the camisole (Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
You got a baby by me, I got a baby by you
What do you mean? I'ma always be able to plug you
You tell me to lick (Lick), I tell you to suck (Suck)
We be mad at each other, but we still— What?
[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
I do what I wanna do
Just 'cause I want to
Don't care too much about you
Hell nah, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Nate Dogg ain't gon' chase you
I'll wait until you want to
If not, then I'll erase you
You know, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

[Verse 2: E-40]
I left the club staggerin' (Staggerin')
Blasted, handcuffed and lifted in the paddy wagon

In a holding cell without a doubt
Your mama put her house up to bail me out
If that ain't sticking to the script
I'm her future son-in-law, ain't never gave her no lip (Lip)

Uh, thought I wasn't (wasn't)
Love you 'cause you was down when I was scrubbin'

[Chorus: Nate Dogg]
Say you're looking for a gangster
Girl, I wanna thank you
When niggas come and question
Do you know? Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
While other niggas thanking
Corners, I be banking
Money, I be making
You know, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
[Verse 3: E-40]
You was a newcomer, turned out by Vera Wang
GG hunter, mesmerized by my slang
I pop my collar one time (One time)
Got control of your mind (Mind)
Never know, I'm sometimes in Kenneth Coles
Thugged out, never judge me by my clothes
When it's a drought, I be riding Zs and Vogues
Five times on the look out for the po'-po'

[Bridge: Nate Dogg & E-40]
Nate D-O-Double-G (Double-G)
Don't wanna fuck with me (Wanna fuck with me)
As happy as can be (As can be)
Nate Dogg and 40 (Fonzarelli)
Long Beach to the Bay (The Bay)
'Frisco to LA (LA)
Don't care what you say (What you say)
They all family (Family, they all family)

[Outro: E-40 & Nate Dogg]
Mmm (Oh)
Oh boy, what do you know? You know?
Yeah, straight game, you under-dug? (Oh, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
Oh boy, uh (Ooh)
Yeah, we stay doing this
You under-dig?
Please believe that part of the game, oh boy (Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
Uh (Ooh)
Battlecat on the track, oh boy
Please believe, uh (Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
Sick Wid It Records (Ooh)
Oh boy
Please believe
We stay doing this (Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
Ooh (Ooh)
Uh-uh (Ooh)
Uh-uh
Uh-uh (Ooh, nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
Oh boy, uh (Ooh)
S-spit it, pimpin'
Please believe
Uh, oh boy
Uh
E-Feezy
Yeah

Genius Annotation

Produced by: DJ Battlecat

E-40: “First of all, Nate Dogg was a good friend of mine and my whole family—The Click and Sick Wid' It Records. We fucked with Tha Dogg Pound back in the day. Nate Dogg always kept it solid with us, through thick and thin. R.I.P. Nate Dogg, a true talent. He made a lot of people great hits. I say the hook is very important. You could put someone else on the hook and you’ll say, ‘Okay, this is clapping.’ But when Nate Dogg get on the hook, now you’re saying, ‘This is remarkable!’ That’s how Nate Dogg was.

“So ‘Nah, Nah’ came about with Battlecat. Battlecat did his thing. I called Nate Dogg and said, ‘I got this song I need you on.’ So he came out here to the Bay Area and we went to my boy at Infinite Studio and put that thing together bruh. Went in there, did the song ‘Nah Nah,’ and then we did the video to it. We had a great time up in there. You know we got right. And we got some good herbal essence in us."
