Dr. Dre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oo, wet
Yeah I pull up with the gang, free da loot
Yeah she wanna talk, blow my dick like a flute
Ice up on my wrist, on my neck that’s a lute
R.I.P to fitz, yeah my nigga was the truth
I got a really bad bitch, on my mind
Shawty wanna love, all the time
Shawty wanna talk, give me nine
Yeah I’m smoking gas, off the pine
Bad biddie on my mind
You steady talking from behind
Niggas hitting on my line
Yeah they hitting on my line
At a young age I was always trapping
Steady chatting shit yeah them niggas got to clapping
40 on my hip, hit the dip, I was packing
Then I fucked a bitch, split her legs like a fraction
Split her legs like a fraction
Shawty said she really want the action
Run up on a nigga, now they acting
Pussy boy was talking now we laughing
Run up on a nigga get to clapping
If you fuck with Dr. Blackout imma smash in
Yeah, imma smash in
Instagram beef that’s that clown shit
Put the racks up in my hand
Then she suck my oui, I think it’s time to go to France
Balmain denim jeans I cannot fit these racks in em'
Call em’ Polo G because he capping for the gram
That Lil nigga hating cause I came up with some new shit
If we ever beef then imma probably fuck on you bitch
Niggas smoking pressure but I think that shit is COVID
Imma shoot my shot, left hand no Ginobili
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah I’m getting bags
Smoking og hella good pac
Shawty wanna love I don’t do that
She just wanna waste my time yeah I knew that
I got a really bad bitch, on my mind
Shawty wanna love, all the time
Shawty wanna talk, give me nine
Yeah I’m smoking gas, off the pine
Bad biddie on my mind
You steady talking from behind




Niggas hitting on my line
Yeah they hitting on my line

Lyrics:

I got summer on my mind,
nowhere else though
lord take me downtown or to you
people show me love but I can't take it
what I said was true
real pain, can't fake it

still they wanna be with me
still they wanna live with me
still they wanna feel like me
still I can't believe it's me

time you spend on me
I spend mine on being free
on a flight to NYC
I see you when you see me

I wonder why, why you have to lie
when you've seen me cry
when you've seen me shy
when you've seen me high
when you will see me die

where we from, you don't know
you will know where we will go
yeah I'm here, where are you?
there's nothing you can't do

we up in here with one thing on our mind, let's leave with something
then we play still dre, my way, all day, in beats by dre
then we go and get buzzed, get drunk, get crunk, get fucked up

I am S/Y, no lie, at least you get to witness
kill so many songs, you'd think I have a hitlist
that's Drake, well we love young money business
cause we're young and we get money
