Here We Go Again
Dr. Dre feat. The Game Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo, Yo, Here we go
Spitting these rhymes cuz its all I know
A little disjointed like my flow
Out of sync with the static snow
Ten degrees south where the rabbit ears go
I told my sister hold em so
Find the signal from years ago
Where we're headed I don't know

There's little to say cuz I'm not ok
I feel like shit like every day
Life is pain that don't go away
Try to stay sane just one more day
If the booze don't get me, the darkness will
Suicide thoughts like guns and pills
Drunk in the bath giving all I got
Slide under water with the toaster hot
Get a nice shock that wake me up
Then back to the bar to drain my cup
Nothing to do at 2 am
The bottle there my only friend
Play this song until the end
The tape deck clicks then starts again
Play this song until the end
The tape deck clicks then starts again

Yo, Yo, Here we go
Spitting these rhymes cuz its all I know
A little disjointed like my flow
Out of sync with the static snow
The tape is faded so play it slow
Wind the reel to make it tight
But there's no switch to set things right

Tape goes forward, Tape goes back
It seems sometimes it jumped its track
Cut out the bad, Glue what's nice
The rots still there beneath the splice
Some have seen the end of life
And then returned to do it twice
If you're lucky, you die first
Before your children meet the earth
But if your luck marks you cursed
You see your children suffer worse
Signal noise turned up loud
Too distorted to hear a sound
Copper wire. Ohms per pound
To catch the charge under ground
Lean in close and listen hard
Hear the screams of a dying god
It's not right that we suffer so
And all our friends are made to go
It's not right that we suffer so
And all our friends are made to go

Yo, Yo, Here we go
Spitting these rhymes cuz its all I know
A little disjointed like my flow
Out of sync with the static snow
Ten degrees south where the rabbit ears go
I told my sister hold em so




Find the signal from years ago
Where we're headed I don't know

Line by Line Meaning

Yo, Yo, Here we go
Starting off strong, let's get to it


Spitting these rhymes cuz its all I know
Rapping is my life, it's all I do


A little disjointed like my flow
My rapping style is unique and not the norm


Out of sync with the static snow
My rapping is like a TV signal with interference


Ten degrees south where the rabbit ears go
Trying to find a better signal or connection


I told my sister hold em so
Asking for help to get a better signal


Find the signal from years ago
Trying to reconnect with the past


Where we're headed I don't know
Uncertainty about the future


There's little to say cuz I'm not ok
I don't have much to say because I'm struggling


I feel like shit like every day
I'm not feeling good, every day is a struggle


Life is pain that don't go away
Suffering is a constant in life


Try to stay sane just one more day
Fighting to keep my sanity for a little longer


If the booze don't get me, the darkness will
The alcohol and feeling of darkness are overwhelming


Suicide thoughts like guns and pills
Thinking about suicide is like having a loaded weapon


Drunk in the bath giving all I got
Trying to escape the pain with alcohol in the bathtub


Slide under water with the toaster hot
Consideration of ending everything by electrocution


Get a nice shock that wake me up
Awareness of how dangerous that thought was


Then back to the bar to drain my cup
Going back to alcohol to numb the pain


Nothing to do at 2 am
Feeling lost in the middle of the night


The bottle there my only friend
Alcohol is the only companion during these times


Play this song until the end
Using music as a coping mechanism


The tape deck clicks then starts again
Repeating this song over and over as comfort


The tape is faded so play it slow
The song is worn out, but still holding onto its meaning


Wind the reel to make it tight
Trying to preserve something that's falling apart


But there's no switch to set things right
Struggling with how to fix things


Tape goes forward, Tape goes back
Life moves forward and backwards, repeating patterns


It seems sometimes it jumped its track
Frustration with life's unexpected deviations


Cut out the bad, Glue what's nice
Trying to remove the negativity and hold onto the positivity


The rots still there beneath the splice
The negativity still lingers despite efforts to remove it


Some have seen the end of life
Death is a reality for many


And then returned to do it twice
Some people come back from near death experiences


If you're lucky, you die first
Sometimes death is a better option than living through pain


Before your children meet the earth
Preventing your children from experiencing the same pain


But if your luck marks you cursed
If you're unlucky, you suffer even more


You see your children suffer worse
Watching loved ones suffer is unbearable


Signal noise turned up loud
Distractions and negativity are overwhelming


Too distorted to hear a sound
Can't focus on anything due to overwhelming distractions


Copper wire. Ohms per pound
Thoughts about electronics as a metaphor for life


To catch the charge under ground
Trying to find the root cause of the problems


Lean in close and listen hard
Trying to focus and understand despite the noise


Hear the screams of a dying god
Feeling like the world is ending, nothing is going right


It's not right that we suffer so
Feeling like life is unfair and full of pain


And all our friends are made to go
Feeling alone and isolated due to loss and suffering
