Gin and Juice Lyrics

[Intro: Daz Dillinger]
(Ahh) Hahaha, I'm serious, nigga
One of y'all niggas got some bad motherfuckin' breath (Oh, man)
Ayy, baby, ayy, baby (Shit)
Ayy, baby, gimme some bubblegum in this motherfucker or somethin', haha
Ride with me to get somethin' to eat, dog, ayy, nigga
Study long, study wrong, nigga

[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg]
With so much drama in the L-B-C
It's kind of hard bein' Snoop D-O-double-G

But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin' up with funky-ass shit, like, every single day

May I kick a little something (Yeah)
For the Gs and make a few ends (Yeah)
As I breeze through? Two in the mornin'
And the party's still jumpin' 'cause my mama ain't home
I got bitches in the livin' room gettin' it on, and
They ain't leavin' 'til six in the mornin'
(Six in the mornin', six in the mornin')
So what you wanna do? Shit
I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too

So turn off the lights and close the doors
But (But what?) we don't love them hoes (Yeah)

So we gon' smoke an ounce to this
Gs up, hoes down while you motherfuckers bounce to this

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Did anyone not get credit for working on this song?
Genius Answer

Former [Tha Dogg Pound] affiliate Emanuel Dean worked extensively on this song. However, he was never credited for his work, which he lamented in an unofficial interview years later:

But I know I did “Gin and Juice”. And I know Dr. Dre cannot play any music. He definitely made the beat, but I mean as far as the music was concerned he watched and I definitely did what I had to do, you know. And I asked him for credit and money, and when he said ‘For what?’, I already had a publishing deal… offered to me by BMI. I let him answer the way he wanted to answer, and when he said ‘For what?’ I was like Okay, cool. Right then and there I was like Okay, I’m going to go with BMI. So the next day I came back to him and I said “Friday’s my last day”. I think I made about five or six thousand dollars working with him. And I did “Gin and Juice”, and I did “Snoop Doggy Dogg” on the second day I knew Dr. Dre. The second day I knew him, I did “Snoop Doggy Dogg”. I didn’t get a platinum record.
