Warren G - I Need A Light lyrics

(feat. Nate Dogg)

[chorus: Nate Dogg]

I need a light (light)

so I can smoke away this pain

I need a drink (drink)

so I can drink away this rain

maybe a wife (wife)

somebody to share my name

I need a song

a brand new song to sing

[Warren G]

Long Beach back in the day was all hustling

young niggaz in the neigborhood struggling

praying to god we ammount to something

by living on the street where they constantly busting

big Warren told us that they can't hold us

Niggaz ain't shit 'till they pass away

so I, watched my step

but when Ola Mae left I was a mothafucking basket case

for real

god bless me

cuz I be on the east where they wanna arrest me

I break bread so they wanna suspect me

but look me in my eyes and say they wanna protect me

yeah

ruthless, my style as a juvenile

ran with a gang, got me a profile

as a child in the Beach I was wild

ready to die and that's why..

[chorus: Nate Dogg]

I need a light (light)

so I can smoke away this pain

I need a drink (drink)

so I can drink away this rain

maybe a wife (wife)

somebody to share my name

I need a song

a brand new song to sing

[Warren G]

could it be it was all so simple

dropping a slick instrumental

Snoop busting 'bout the shit we went through

Nate singing 'bout the city we came from

and niggaz so tight wasn't nothing we wouldn't do

time keep slipping

but I ain't tripping nigga it's all about my children

so you can save that bullshit

cuz if I pull my shit, nigga I'ma kill you

the streets is watching

and niggaz fell victim from L.A. to Watts and Compton

but life goes on

it's just another song if you ain't to one gone

listen

ruthless, my style as a juvenile

but now I got a brand new G-Child

big Warren gotta stay trunk tight

cuz he got the fly and that's why..

[chorus: Nate Dogg]

I need a light (light)

so I can smoke away this pain

I need a drink (drink)

so I can drink away this rain

maybe a wife (wife)

somebody to share my name

I need a song

a brand new song to sing

[Warren G]

listen

caviar wishes, twisting stitches, all out race for the riches

got a nigga missing what rich is

and what a life mean if you do it for the kids

it's for my family y'all

really the only one who understand me y'all

cuz it ain't hard to ball

but then who got ya back when it's time to fall

and it's amazing

to stay up on top, your game so close to the pavement

time brings change in mind

but then don't let the change bring your mind no time

clearly, a conspiracy

Niggaz right near me but still ain't hearing me

that's how it's always gone fly

'till you ready to die and that's why..

[chorus: Nate Dogg]

I need a light (light)

so I can smoke away this pain

I need a drink (drink)

so I can drink away this rain

maybe a wife (wife)

somebody to share my name

I need a song

a brand new song to sing
