Still
Dr.Dre & Snoop Dogg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah nigga
I'm still fucking with ya
Still waters run deep
Still Snoop Dogg and D-R-E, '99 nigga
Guess who's back
Still doing that shit huh Dre?
(Oh for sho', check me out)
It's still Dre Day nigga, AK nigga
Though I've grown a lot, can't keep it home a lot
'Cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
You hear the bass from the truck when I'm on the block
Ladies they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
How nigga?
My last album was The Chronic (nigga)
They want to know if he still got it
They say rap's changed
They wanna know how I feel about it
(If you ain't up on thangs)
Dr. Dre is the name
I'm ahead of my game
Still puffing my leafs
Still fuck with the beats, still not loving police
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, repping 213 (for life)
Still the beats bang, still doing my thang
Since I left ain't too much changed, still

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

Since the last time you heard from me I lost some friends
Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dipping again
Kept my ear to the streets, signed Eminem
He's triple platinum, doing 50 a week
Still, I stay close to the heat
And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet
My life's like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat
Treat my rap like Cali weed, I smoke 'til I sleep
Wake up in the A.M., compose a beat
I bring the fire til you're soaking in your seat
It's not a fluke, it's been tried, I'm the truth
Since Turn Out the Lights from the World Class Wreckin Cru
I'm still at it
After-mathematics
In the home of drive-by's and ak-matics
Swap meets, sticky green, and bad traffic
I dip through then I get skin, D-R-E

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

It ain't nothing but more hot shit
Another classic CD for y'all to vibe with
Whether you're cooling on a corner with your fly bitch
Laid back in the shack, play this track
I'm representing for the gangstas all across the world
Still (Hitting them corners on the lo-lo's girl)
I'll break your neck, damn near put your face in your lap
Niggas try to be the king but the ace is back (So if you ain't up on thangs)
Dr. Dre be the name still running the game
Still, got it wrapped like a mummy
Still ain't tripping, love to see young blacks get money
Spend time out the hood, take they moms out the hood
Hit my boys off with jobs, no more living hard
Barbeques every day, driving fancy cars
Still gon' get mine regardless

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still taking my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E

Right back up in ya mothafuckin' ass, 9-5 plus four pennies!
Add that shit up, D-R-E right back up on top of thangs
Smoke some with your dog, no stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks!




Some of that real sticky icky icky, ooh wee!
Put it in the air, oh, you's a fool DR

Overall Meaning

In "Still," Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg highlight their enduring place in the rap scene, despite a number of challenges to their reign. Following a long introduction of the two performers' reputations and accomplishments, the first verse outlines the continued adverse conditions in their community, citing drug deals and shootings as a commonplace. Later, Dre reminisces about how he capitalized on his past and present struggles to create music that not only helped him, but also his community of struggling folks.


Dr. Dre's verse begins with him proclaiming that he's still "fucking with" his audience and that still waters run deep. It's a proclamation that Dr. Dre and the gangster rap subculture he comes from aren't going away anytime soon. He even references his 1992 album "The Chronic" and the fact that his detractors questioned whether he still had it in him to produce fresh material. Additionally, he name-checks several places in Los Angeles which are well-known to be dangerous areas and street corners where drug dealers and addicts use to conduct their business. However, Dre has not forgotten his roots and therefore still pays tribute to his old community member past.


Then Snoop Dogg comes in with his recognizable relaxed flow, nonchalant demeanor, and his deep lyrics shine through as he claims that he is still representing the gangstas all across the world. He maintains his authenticity by still "hitting them corners on the low lows" and takes pride in the fact that he's still taking time to perfect the beat even after earning mainstream success. As the song proceeds towards the end, Snoop encourages Dre and the younger rappers to smoke some weed without any stress, seeds, stems, or sticks, and foreshadows future collaborations with younger artists.


Some facts about the song include that it was released in 1999, it was produced by Dr. Dre & Mel-Man and featured on the album "2001". The song was written by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, while the keyboard bassline melody was composed by pianist and record producer Camara Kambon. The song's chorus drew heavily from the 1980 song โ€œThe Edgeโ€ by David McCallum.Snoop Dogg's verse also includes a reference to Eazy-Duz-It by Eazy-E, who was a mentor to Dr. Dre earlier in his career. Many consider the song to be a sequel to their hit song "Nuthin But a G Thang" released in 1992.ย  "Still" peaked at the 93rd spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In an interview, Dr. Dre explained that the LP was intended to be called "Chronic 2000," but he had to cede the title to Cash Money Records, who had already claimed it. Lastly, the music video for "Still" was directed by Paul Hunter and was nominated for Best Rap Video at the 2000 Grammy Awards.


Chords: A#, F, G#, Cm, Fm, and D#.
