Still D.R.E.
004 Dr.Dre Ft. Snoop Dogg Lyrics

Yeah, nigga
Affirming with the listener that Dre is still relevant and back on the rap scene

I'm still fuckin' with ya
Still collaborating with Snoop and making music together

Still waters run deep
Things may have changed on the surface but the core is still the same

Still Snoop Dogg and D.R.E.
Both Snoop and Dre are still on top and making music together

'99, nigga, guess who's back
Asking the listener to guess who's back after a hiatus - it's Dre

Still, still doin' that shit, huh, Dre?
Still making music and killing it like before

Oh, for sho'
Confirming that Dre is still on top of his game

Yeah
Agreeing with the listener that things have changed in the rap scene

Check me out
Asking the listener to take a look and listen to what Dre has to offer

It's still Dre Day nigga, AK nigga
Dre is still on top and not going anywhere, with a reference to his signature AK

Though I've grown a lot, can't keep it home a lot
Despite advancing in life, Dre still has to go out and perform to maintain his position in the rap game

'Cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
Going to the same places where he's known to have performed and built his reputation

You hear the bass from the truck when I'm on the block
Making an impact with his music that's always on blast from his truck wherever he goes

Ladies, they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
Fans still appreciate Dre's music, but critics think he's not relevant anymore

How, nigga? My last album was The Chronic (nigga)
Asking how Dre could have fallen off when his last album was a classic like The Chronic

They want to know if he still got it
People are questioning if Dre is still as good as he was before

They say rap's changed, they wanna know how I feel about it
Acknowledging that the rap game has changed and people want to know how Dre feels about it

(If you ain't up on thangs)
If you're not up-to-date on the current state of rap, listen up

Dr. Dre is the name, I'm ahead of my game
Naming himself and claiming his spot at the top of the rap game

Still puffin' my leaves
Still smoking weed and getting inspired to make music

Still fuck with the beats
Still creating amazing beats that are true to Dre's signature style

Still not lovin' police (uh-uh)
Dre still doesn't have a love for law enforcement, as he's been vocal about previously

Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease (for sho')
Still dressing in his signature style, showing that he hasn't changed too much despite growing personally and professionally

Still got love for the streets, reppin' 213 (for life)
Dre still appreciates and represents the area code 213, where he's from

Still the beats bang, still doin' my thang
Dre's beats are still great and he's still making amazing music

Since I left ain't too much changed, still
Even though Dre has been gone for a while, not much has changed in the rap game

I'm representin' for them gangstas all across the world
Dre is representing those who grew up in tough neighborhoods but still made it big

(Still) Hittin' them corners in them low-low', girl
Still driving around in lowrider cars and hitting street corners

(Still) Takin' my time to perfect the beat
Still spending a lot of time perfecting his beats

And I still got love for the streets, it's the D.R.E.
Despite his success, Dre still remembers his roots and where he came from

Since the last time you heard from me I lost some friends
Dre has lost some friends since he was last heard from in the rap game

Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dippin' again (ah)
Dre and Snoop are working together again and enjoying it

Kept my ear to the streets, signed Eminem
Dre continues to be aware of what's happening in the streets and discovered Eminem, who he signed

He's triple platinum, doin' 50 a week
Eminem is doing great in the rap game, selling millions of albums and 50k per week

Still, I stay close to the heat
Dre is still in touch with the rap music scene and keeping up with new trends and artists

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet
Dre's career hasn't always just been going up, but he's a fighter and has overcome many challenges

My life's like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat
Dre's life is just like a movie soundtrack he created with his famous beats

Treat rap like Cali weed, I smoke 'til I sleep
Dre treats rap like smoking weed in his home state of California - an integral part of his life and something he's passionate about

Wake up in the AM, compose a beat
Dre wakes up early in the morning and starts creating beats right away

I bring the fire 'til you're soakin' in your seat
Dre's music is so good that it can leave people fired up and almost sweating

It's not a fluke, it's been tried, I'm the truth
Dre is reminding people that he's not successful due to luck, but rather his hard work and innate talent

Since 'Turn Out the Lights' from the World Class Wreckin Cru
Dre has been in the rap game since the days of World Wreckin Cru, making him a longtime pioneer and legend in the industry

I'm still at it, after mathematics
Dre is still in the rap game and killing it, even when some thought he might have retired

In the home of drive-by's and ak-matics
Referencing his hometown of Compton, which is unfortunately known for gang violence and drive-by shootings

Swap meets, sticky green, and bad traffic
Describing some of the rough circumstances in Compton with references to local swap meets, marijuana, and rough traffic

I dip through, then I give you (still) the D.R.E.
Dre is still representing himself as the D.R.E. and repping his hometown despite the challenges

It ain't nothin' but more hot shit
Dre's latest music is just more of the hot stuff fans already know and love

Another classic CD for y'all to vibe with
Dre has made another classic CD that his fans will love to vibe with

Whether you're coolin' on a corner with your fly bitch (biatch)
Addressing his audience no matter where they might be, even chilling with a significant other on a street corner

Laid back in the shack, play this track
Enjoy Dre's music no matter where you might be listening from, relaxed in your home or in a shack

I'm representin' for the gangstas all across the world
Dre is representing for all those who were raised in tough neighborhoods with violence and danger

I'll break your neck, damn near put your face in your lap
Dre's beats are so good they'll have you rocking out and almost putting your face in your lap with the intensity

Niggas try to be the king but the ace is back
Everyone tries to be the king of the rap game, but Dre is back and reminding everyone why he's really the ace

(So if you ain't up on thangs)
Another reminder for listeners to get up-to-date on what they may have missed in the rap game

Dr. Dre be the name still running the game (what?)
Dre is still a leading voice and figure in the rap game, dominant and killing it like he always has

Still got it wrapped like a mummy
Dre is still killing it and representing his hometown, all while being as fresh as ever

Still ain't trippin', love to see young Blacks get money
Dre is supportive and psyched to see young Black people getting their success and making money in the rap game

Spend time out the hood, take they moms out the hood
Dre is using his success to help others and often takes people out of tough hometowns and situations

Hit my boys off with jobs, no more livin' hard
Continuing to help people from tough neighborhoods and providing his buddies with jobs to make their lives better

Barbeques every day, drivin' fancy cars (hey, hey)
Dre's success affords him the luxury to have BBQs often and look good driving fancy cars

Still gon' get mine regardless (still)
Dre will continue to work hard and get his no matter what the circumstances are, he won't back down

Right back up in your mothafuckin' ass
Returning to the rap game triumphant and not afraid to give listeners a piece of his mind

9-5 plus four pennies, add that shit up
Another reference to his AK and bad-assery - don't forget the four pennies!

D.R.E. right back up on top of thangs
Dre is back and on top again, continuing to kill it

Smoke some with your Dogg
Inviting listeners to smoke some weed with him and Snoop

No stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks
Dre only smokes the good stuff, with no seeds or stems

Some of that real sticky-icky-icky
Dre really likes smoking high-quality weed (!)

Ooh-wee, put it in the air
Encouraging listeners to light up and celebrate Dre's return to the game

Boy, you's a fool D-R
Dre's not afraid to call out anyone who isn't recognizing his greatness, calling them a fool

Ha-ha
A light-hearted way to end the song, reminding everyone that it's just music and to enjoy the beats
