D.R.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll try not to make it a habit
But I can't promise that
Wish I could do that
'Cause you deserve
Actions and not words
And you know that I'm worth
Waiting for, while I'm out on tour
Tell me right now
Are you still down? (Yeah)
Are you still down?
Tell me right now
Are you still down? (Are you?)
Are you still down?
When I ain't not there and you get the urge
Who you hittin' up first?
Is it me or it's her?
I be thinkin' the worst
When you don't pick up
But I don't call enough
It's only for now
This won't be forever but I think that we will
If you tell me right now
Are you still down? (Yeah)
Are you still down?
Tell me right now
Are you still down? (Down)
Are you still down?
Are you still down? (Down)
Are you still down? (Down, down down)
Are you still down? (Down)
Are you still
Are you, are you still
If I put all my faith to you
Will you be faithful?
Hold me down baby, I know that ain't easy to do (do do do)
Don't be stupid
You know I do this for you (you you you)
Down
Down
Are you still?
Are you still?
Are you still?
The first verse of D.R.E's "Still" depicts the struggle of maintaining a relationship while being a touring musician. The singer acknowledges that, at times, they will be unable to provide their partner with their time and attention. They admit that they want to be able to do better, but they cannot guarantee it. The singer acknowledges that their partner deserves action rather than just words, but for the time being, they must be content with waiting. The chorus of the song poses a question to the partner, asking them if they are still committed to the relationship despite the distance, uncertainty, and lack of attention.
The second verse of the song portrays the insecurity that both the singer and their partner feel while they are apart. The singer wonders who their partner calls first when they feel lonely and suggests that they might think the worst when their partner does not pick up their phone. The singer confesses that they themselves do not call enough, but this is only temporary because they believe that their love is worth fighting for. The chorus is repeated, highlighting the doubt and the need for assurance.
Overall, "Still" is a song about the complexities of long-distance relationships. It shows the difficulties of keeping a commitment when there are miles of distance and doubts to overcome. However, it also portrays the willingness of both partners to fight for their love despite the challenges.
