Woo, yeah welcome to tha Chuuch: Volume I I
Exclusive 213 (Ah, ha, ha)
Got my nephew Nate Dogg in the house
Nate Dogg, holla at 'em, where you at?

Ridin' in my car
And I'm listenin' to the radio
I'm listenin' to a sad girl sing
Sing about how she got her heart broke
People reaching for stars
I just want me something natural
When you're alone it gets mighty cold
Don't act as if you did not know
She let me play with her heart
I'm working late I said I'll soon be home
All the while the girl was home alone
Let me tell you what she crying for (Why?)
'Cause I'm fly
(yeah, he super fly, Nate Dogg)
Woah, oh oh I'm fly, yeah

Yeah, you know he super fly
But me I'm Snooper Dooper and
I'm super duper fly (Fly, fly)
I be the greatest 'cause I
Know you waited this and I wanted this to be
Elaborate and so strenuous
And then you just slide by and wiz-ave
You on another piz-age
Is that the way you gon' be-hiz-ave?
I know you feelin' all hurt inside
But won't you talk to a player
Let me help out your pride?
I'm like a counselor, a pastor
A priest or a psychologist
A shrink on a freak, peep my technique
I wear minks, gator boots and I'm the the
One that gets the loot
And I ain't afraid to shoot
And I love to toot toot
Beep-beep as I slide up the street
I'm from the LBC and I don't know
What y'all done heard about me
But I'm a C-R-IP with some P-IM-P too
I'm a real pimp player from the 213 crew
Now look here, boo
If you gon' bang or hang with the Dogg
You best to get in, holla at her, Nate Dogg
(Holla, holla, holla)

Ridin' in my car
And I'm listenin' to the radio
I'm listenin' to a sad girl sing
Sing about how she got her heart broke
People reaching for stars
I just want me something natural
When you're alone it gets mighty cold
Don't act as if you did not know
She let me play with her heart
I'm working late I said I'll soon be home
All the while the girl was home alone
Let me tell you what she crying for (Why?)
'Cause I'm fly
(yeah, he super fly, Nate Dogg)
Woah, oh oh I'm fly, yeah

Warren G 3 piece with a mink
Gotta think my shit stinks
Stacy Adams with a drink
Pockets pad up, they come from Brinks
So what the ladies wink
You the one in the Mercedes
Shotgun with the thing
Coat chillin', watching "The Lion King"
Crying and thangs
Cause I'm with Snoop and Nate - singing
Rhyming and things
I'm out late cause I'm grinding for change
I ain't with dime for dames
Cock back and I'm trying to aim
At everything, that be hating my fame
Since regulating, been lacing the game
Ain't no mistake in the game
Two-one mother f'in dwizzle sippin
On the sizzle and that's for shizzle
Four times for the riddles
You know these bars everywhere we go
You know who us are
You could tell by the car champagn, caviar
Bubble bath, I say I love you and I laugh

Ridin' in my car
And I'm listenin' to the radio
I'm listenin' to a sad girl sing
Sing about how she got her heart broke
People reaching for stars
I just want me something natural
When you're alone it gets mighty cold
Don't act as if you did not know
She let me play with her heart
I'm working late I said I'll soon be home
All the while the girl was home alone
Let me tell you what she crying for (Why?)
'Cause I'm fly
(yeah, he super fly, Nate Dogg)
Woah, oh oh I'm fly, yeah
