What's The Difference
Dr. Dre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

What's the difference between me and you? (Me and you)
What's the difference between me and you? (Me and you)

Back when Cube, was rolling with Lorenzo in a Benzo
I was banging with a gang of instrumentals
Got the pens and pencils, got down to business, but sometimes
The business end of this shit can turn your friends against you
But you was a real nigga, I could sense it in you
I still remember the window of the car that you went through
That's fucked up, but I'll never forget the shit we been through
And I'ma do whatever it takes to convince you
'Cause you my nigga Doc, and Eazy I'm still wit'chu
Fuck the beef, nigga I miss you, and that's just being real wit'chu
You see the truth is
Everybody wanna know how close me and Snoop is
And who I'm still cool with
Then I got these fake-ass niggas I first blew with
Claiming that they non-violent, talkin like they (do not resist the beat)
Spit venom in interviews, speaking on reunions
Move units, then talk shit and we can do this
Until then, I ain't even speaking your name
Just keep my name outta yo' mouth and we can keep it the same, nigga
It ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors
It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em
That's the difference

What's the difference between me and you?
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions
I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

What's the difference between me and you?
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions
I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

Yo I stay with it, while you try to perpetrate and play with it
Never knew about the next level until Dre did it (yeah)
I stay committed while you motherfuckers babysitted
I smash the critics like a overhand right from Riddick (yeah)
Come and get it, shitted on villains by the millions
I be catching bitches while bitches be catching feelings (huh)
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?
I pop bottles and hot hollow-points at each and all of you (come on)
A heartless bastard, high and plastered
My style is like the reaction from too much acid
Never come down! Pass it around if you can't handle it
Hang Hollywood niggas by they Soul Train laminates
What's the difference between me and you? (What?)
About five bank accounts, three ounces and two vehicles
Until my death, I'm Bangladesh
I suggest you hold yo' breath 'til ain't none left
Yo that's the difference

What's the difference between me and you?
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions
I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

What's the difference between me and you?
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions
I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

Aight, hold up, hold up!
Stop the beat a minute! I got something to say
Dre, I wanna tell you this shit right now while this fucking weed is in me
(The fuck?) I don't know if I ever told you this, but I love you dawg
I got your motherfucking back (right?) Just know this shit

Slim, I don't know if you noticed it
But I've had your back from day one, nigga let's blow this bitch
I mean it dawg, you ever need somebody offed, whose throat is it?
Well if you ever kill that Kim bitch, I'll show you where the ocean is

Well that's cool and I appreciate the offer
But if I do decide to really murder my daughter's momma
I'ma sit her up in the front seat and put sunglasses on her
And cruise around with her for seven hours through California
And have her wavin' at people (hi) then drop her off on the corner
At the police station and drive off honkin the horn for her
Raw dawg, get your arm gnawed off
Drop the sawed-off and beat you wit the piece it was sawed off of
Fuck blood, I wanna see some lungs coughed up
Get shot up in the hot tub 'til the bubbles pop up
In they nose and cough snot up, mucus in hot water
That's for trying to talk like "The Chronic" was lost product
That's for even thinking of having them thoughts thought up
You better show some respect whenever the Doc's brought up
So what's the difference between us? We can start at the penis
Or we can scream, "I Just Don't Give a Fuck," and see who means it

What's the difference between me and you?
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions
I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

What's the difference between me and you?
You talk a good one but you don't do what you supposed to do
I act on what I feel and never deal with emotions
I'm used to living big dog style and straight coasting

Overall Meaning

The song "What's the Difference" by Dr. Dre featuring Eminem and Xzibit is a rap song about the differences between people, particularly between the artists themselves and others in their lives. The song opens with Dr. Dre questioning what separates him and the listener or the person he's addressing and then recounts a personal experience where a friend stood by him in a difficult time. He then talks about how some people pretend to be non-violent but still speak ill of others and talks about the rumors around his relationships with other artists. He says that the difference between him and others is that he acts on his feelings and never lets his emotions affect his decisions.


Throughout the song, Dr. Dre and Eminem exchange verses, with Eminem bragging about his success and skill while also acknowledging the support of Dr. Dre in his career. Xzibit contributes a verse where he talks about staying committed to his craft while others just babysit and then goes on to deliver violent threats towards other rappers.


Overall, the song seems to be about asserting dominance and claiming superiority over others, particularly those who have crossed the artists. It emphasizes the importance of having the support of genuine friends and staying true to oneself.
