Still D.R.E
Dr.Dre & Snoopy Dog Lyrics

Yeah nigga
Starting the song with an emphatic greeting

I'm still fucking with ya
Despite a break of several years, the songwriters are still with their listeners

Still waters run deep
A metaphorical statement that hints their true worth is yet to be known

Still Snoop Dogg and D-R-E, '99 nigga
Artists are back with a bang in the late 90s

Guess who's back
A rhetoric question that confirms their return

Still doing that shit huh Dre?
The duo is continuing to create music

(Oh for sho', check me out)
An interjection to draw the listener's attention and confirm their ability

It's still Dre Day nigga, AK nigga
Despite fame, Dr. Dre still lives in a world of guns and violence

Though I've grown a lot, can't keep it home a lot
Dr. Dre has grown enormously since his earlier days, but still has to be active outside

Cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
Places that were popular during his career were frequented

You hear the bass from the truck when I'm on the block
The bass from his music echoes around the neighborhood

Ladies they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
Despite his popularity among the ladies, there are still haters who doubt his artistic ability

How nigga?
A rhetoric question that challenges the haters to bring substantiated evidence

My last album was The Chronic (nigga)
Stating his last album's name, that he released a long time back

They want to know if he still got it
The audience doubts whether he can still produce music like before

They say rap's changed
Acknowledges the evolution of rap since his last release

They wanna know how I feel about it
Curiosity on what Dr. Dre thinks about rap's evolution

(If you ain't up on thangs)
Another interjection to indicate naïvete

Dr. Dre is the name
Stressing his name as an artist

I'm ahead of my game
Dr. Dre affirms he's still on top of his game

Still puffing my leafs
Indicates he's still smoking marijuana

Still fuck with the beats, still not loving police
He's still in love with the music and hasn't changed his anti-police stance

Still rocking my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Continuing to wear his classic fashion style of the 90s

Still got love for the streets, repping 213 (for life)
Stating his affection for his neighborhood and his gang

Still the beats bang, still doing my thang
Herewith Dr. Dre confirms his ability to produce impeccably sounding music

Since I left ain't too much changed, still
Despite a gap in his career, Dr. Dre confirms that he's still on top of his game

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
Through his music, he's representing the gang culture globally

Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
Still cruising around the neighborhood in low riders

Still taking my time to perfect the beat
Artists affirm they take time to perfect their music production process

And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
Stating his appreciation for his neighborhood again

Since the last time you heard from me I lost some friends
There were some casualties since he last went silent

Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dipping again
Artists affirm their collaboration again after a hiatus

Kept my ear to the streets, signed Eminem
Stating that they were still in touch with the underground, and new artists were being picked up

He's triple platinum, doing 50 a week
Eminem is selling millions of albums a week

Still, I stay close to the heat
Despite the fame, Dr. Dre is still associated with the streets

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet
Dr.Dre assures that he could overcome difficult times and stand back up

My life's like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat
Drawing a parallel between his life and his music

Treat my rap like Cali weed, I smoke 'til I sleep
Stating he smokes his own music with the same fervor as California's weed

Wake up in the A.M., compose a beat
Artists clarify that they wake up early to create music

I bring the fire til you're soaking in your seat
Dr. Dre emphasizes on his ability to make the music hit the listeners' hearts

It's not a fluke, it's been tried, I'm the truth
Stating that his talent has been tested and confirms that he's still the best

Since Turn Out the Lights from the World Class Wreckin Cru
Stating that he's been in the music industry for a long time

I'm still at it
Emphasizes Dr. Dre's unwavering dedication to his craft

After-mathematics
Referring to the name of his production house

In the home of drive-by's and ak-matics
Referencing his previous statement of living in a dangerous environment

Swap meets, sticky green, and bad traffic
Describing the atmosphere of his neighborhood

I dip through then I get skin, D-R-E
Indicates that Dr. Dre is still associated with negative behavior

It ain't nothing but more hot shit
Stating that his music is still as good as ever

Another classic CD for y'all to vibe with
Offering another classic CD for people to groove to

Whether you're cooling on a corner with your fly bitch
Humorously suggests the different ways people can enjoy his music

Laid back in the shack, play this track
Another casual way of listening to his music

I'm representing for the gangstas all across the world
Underlining that his music is globally catering to those who associate with gang culture

Still (Hitting them corners on the lo-lo's girl)
Repeating earlier affirmations of cruising the streets

I'll break your neck, damn near put your face in your lap
Using vivid violent imagery to make a point

N****s try to be the king but the ace is back (So if you ain't up on thangs)
Comparing himself to the king, and insisting he's more superior and confident

Dr. Dre be the name still running the game
Reiterating his name as an established artist

Still, got it wrapped like a mummy
Referring to his creativity around his headwrap

Still ain't tripping, love to see young blacks get money
Stating that he no longer worries about the things he used to when he was young

Spend time out the hood, take they moms out the hood
Arists affirm their new responsibilities on being able to bring change in their respective communities

Hit my boys off with jobs, no more living hard
Artists are helping their friends secure jobs to improve their lifestyle

Barbeques every day, driving fancy cars
Glorifying his improved lifestyle

Still gon' get mine regardless
Stating he will keep working until he fulfills his goals

Right back up in ya mothafuckin' ass, 9-5 plus four pennies!
The artists are back, and bolder and better than ever

Add that shit up, D-R-E right back up on top of thangs
Emphasizing, once again, his dominance in the music industry

Smoke some with your dog, no stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks!
Requesting listeners to light up and relax with his music, also stating the quality of weed

Some of that real sticky icky icky, ooh wee!
Describing the top-quality weed

Put it in the air, oh, you's a fool DR
Encouraging listeners to light up and acknowledge his greatness
