Still D.R.E.
Dr.Dre ft.Snoop dogg Lyrics

Yeah nigga
I'm starting off with enthusiasm, addressing someone familiar

I'm still fucking with ya
I still have ties with you and I'm loyal despite any conflicts

Still waters run deep
I'm not easily understood since I harbor many deep and unspoken thoughts and emotions

Still Snoop Dogg and D-R-E, '99 nigga
Snoop Dogg and I Dr. Dre are still together and relevant in the rap scene in 1999

Guess who's back
I'm asking my listeners to guess who has returned and made a comeback

Still doing that shit huh Dre?
I'm acknowledging Dr. Dre's consistency in making music and keeping up his reputation

(Oh for sho', check me out)
I'm confident in my skills and asking listeners to give me a chance

It's still Dre Day nigga, AK nigga
I'm still a king in the rap industry and a member of the AK (Assault Rifle) family

Though I've grown a lot, can't keep it home a lot
Despite personal growth and maturation, I still can't resist the urge to frequently go out and perform

'Cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
When I go to places where I'm known for my music, people can hear the bass from my vehicle

You hear the bass from the truck when I'm on the block
My music is heard loudly on the streets, attracting both admirers and detractors

Ladies they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
Women show me respect, but some critics feel that I'm no longer relevant or talented

How nigga?
I'm questioning these detractors about their reasons for criticism

My last album was The Chronic (nigga)
I'm reminding listeners of my successful album The Chronic to prove that I still have what it takes

They want to know if he still got it
Listeners are wondering if I'm still skilled and relevant in the rap industry

They say rap's changed
People are telling me that the rap scene is different now than it used to be

They wanna know how I feel about it
Listeners are interested in my thoughts and feelings about the changes in rap music

(If you ain't up on thangs)
I'm addressing listeners who may not be aware of current situations in rap music

Dr. Dre is the name
I'm introducing myself to new listeners or those who may have forgotten my name

I'm ahead of my game
I'm at the top of my field and still innovative and successful

Still puffing my leafs
I'm still smoking and enjoying marijuana

Still fuck with the beats, still not loving police
I'm still making music and have a strained relationship with law enforcement

Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
I still wear my pants a certain way, with a cuff at the bottom and a crease in the front

Still got love for the streets, repping 213 (for life)
I still have a connection to my hometown and salute my community, area code 213

Still the beats bang, still doing my thang
My music is still powerful and successful, and I'm doing my own unique thing

Since I left ain't too much changed, still
Since I've been away from music, not much has changed in my personal and artistic life

I'm representing for them gangstas all across the world
I'm speaking for other gangster rap artists all over the globe

Still hitting them corners on the lo-lo's, girl
I still love driving lowrider cars on street corners

Still taking my time to perfect the beat
I'm still dedicated to creating the perfect sound in my music

And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
I still have a passion for the streets, and I want to remind everyone of my name

Since the last time you heard from me I lost some friends
I'm addressing the fact that I've lost some close friends since my last release

Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dipping again
Snoop Dogg and I are working together again and creating a collaboration

Kept my ear to the streets, signed Eminem
I'm keeping up with new artists and recognizing Eminem's talent and potential

He's triple platinum, doing 50 a week
Eminem has great sales and is very successful

Still, I stay close to the heat
I still have connections to gangster culture and criminal activity

And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet
Even when I was at my lowest point, I was able to bounce back and be successful

My life's like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat
My life follows the rhythm and story of my music

Treat my rap like Cali weed, I smoke 'til I sleep
I treat my music career like I treat marijuana, constantly indulging in it

Wake up in the A.M., compose a beat
I wake up energized and motivated to create music

I bring the fire til you're soaking in your seat
My music is so intense and powerful that it ignites the audience

It's not a fluke, it's been tried, I'm the truth
My success is not lucky, it's been proven through hard work and talent

Since Turn Out the Lights from the World Class Wreckin Cru
I've been in the game for a long time, since my first performance with the World Class Wreckin Cru

I'm still at it
I'm still actively creating music and working at my craft

After-mathematics
I'm still a part of the record label Aftermath Entertainment, which I founded

In the home of drive-by's and ak-matics
I'm referring to the city of Los Angeles and the violence that occurs there

Swap meets, sticky green, and bad traffic
These are common elements of Los Angeles culture

I dip through then I get skin, D-R-E
I move through the city unnoticed, and remind people of my name

It ain't nothing but more hot shit
I'm still making great music, it's just a continuation of my previous work

Another classic CD for y'all to vibe with
I'm creating another successful and memorable album for people to enjoy

Whether you're cooling on a corner with your fly bitch
Regardless if you're chilling with your significant other on the streets

Laid back in the shack, play this track
Or relaxing anywhere, you can appreciate my music

I'm representing for the gangstas all across the world
I'm still speaking for gangster rap artists worldwide and want to remind people of this

Still (Hitting them corners on the lo-lo's girl)
I'm still passionate about driving low-rider cars

I'll break your neck, damn near put your face in your lap
My music is still intense and powerful enough to make you physically react, such as breaking your neck

Niggas try to be the king but the ace is back (So if you ain't up on thangs)
Others are competing for the top spot in the rap industry, but I'm confident that I'm the best option. I address listeners who may not be familiar with the current rap scene

Dr. Dre be the name still running the game
I'm still the most important and influential figure in the rap industry

Still, got it wrapped like a mummy
I'm still a successful and wealthy musician

Still ain't tripping, love to see young blacks get money
I'm not worried or bothered, and I appreciate seeing young black individuals succeeding financially

Spend time out the hood, take they moms out the hood
I encourage successful black individuals to move and support their parents financially

Hit my boys off with jobs, no more living hard
I'm trying to help and employ my friends so they can avoid poverty and difficult living situations

Barbeques every day, driving fancy cars
We can now afford luxuries like daily barbeques and expensive cars

Still gon' get mine regardless
However, I'm still focused and determined to make money and be successful

Right back up in ya mothafuckin' ass, 9-5 plus four pennies!
I'm back and ready to work hard and succeed, no matter the cost or obstacles

Add that shit up, D-R-E right back up on top of thangs
I'm reminding listeners of my name and proclaiming my continued success and dominance in the rap industry

Smoke some with your dog, no stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks!
I'm inviting people to smoke marijuana with me, ensuring it's a good quality strain with no impurities

Some of that real sticky icky icky, ooh wee!
I'm describing a specific strain of marijuana that is high-quality and enjoyable

Put it in the air, oh, you's a fool DR
I'm inviting people to smoke with me and having fun with the situation and my name
