Forgot About Dre
Dr Dre/Eminem Lyrics

Y'all know me, still the same O.G.
I am still the original gangster you all know.

But I been low-key
I have been keeping a low profile which has led to haters.

Hated on by most these niggas with no cheese
People without money and status are hating on me.

No deals and no G's
I had no money and no record deals earlier.

No wheels and no keys
I didn't have a car before.

No boats, no snowmobiles, and no skis
I didn't have any of the luxuries which people with money can afford.

Mad at me 'cause I can finally afford to provide my family with groceries
People are hating on me because I can finally take care of my family.

Got a crib with a studio and it's all full of tracks
I own a house with a recording studio which has full of tracks.

To add to the wall full of plaques
I have already achieved a lot of success and have a wall full of plaques to prove it.

Hanging up in the office in back of my house like trophies
The awards are hanging in my office at the back of my house as trophies.

Did y'all think I'ma let my dough freeze?
Did you think that I would stop hustling?

Ho please
I won't let my money slow down.

You better bow down on both knees
You better respect my status.

Who you think taught you to smoke trees?
Who do you think introduced you to smoking weed?

Who you think brought you the oldies?
Who do you think introduced you to old school music?

Eazy-E's, Ice Cubes, and D.O.C's
Legendary rappers like Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and D.O.C. helped pave the way for others.

The Snoop D-O-double-G's
Snoop Dogg is one of the most successful rappers of all time.

And the group that said, "Motherfuck the police"
N.W.A. stood against police brutality and systemic racism.

Gave you a tape full of dope beats
N.W.A. handed over a mixtape full of incredible beats.

To bump when you stroll through in your hood
To listen to when you are walking around your neighbourhood.

And when your album sales wasn't doing too good
When your music albums had low sales.

Who's the Doctor they told you to go see?
Who is the doctor who you are advised to go see?

Y'all better listen up closely
I have something really important to tell you all, so be attentive.

All you niggas that said that I turned pop, or The Firm flopped
All those who said I went mainstream or that my project 'The Firm' failed can shut up now.

Y'all are the reason that Dre ain't been getting no sleep
You are the reason why I cannot sleep a night peacefully.

So fuck y'all, all of y'all
So I don't give a damn about you all.

If y'all don't like me, blow me
If you don't like me, I don't care.

Y'all are gonna keep fucking around with me
You all keep messing with me.

And turn me back to the old me
You may turn me back to how I used to be.

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
Everybody is seeking attention and wants to say something.

But nothing comes out when they move their lips
They end up saying nothing and making no sense.

Just a bunch of gibberish
Their speech is meaningless and void of any valuable information.

And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre
People act as they have forgotten Dre's legacy and what he has done for them.

So what do you say to somebody you hate (What?)
What do you say to someone you hate?

Or anyone tryna bring trouble your way?
What should one do when someone tries to cause trouble?

Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? (Yup)
Do you want to resolve things by shedding blood?

Just study a tape of N.W.A
Listen to the music of N.W.A. and their struggle against authority.

One day I was walking by with a Walkman on
One day when I was walking with a Walkman on.

When I caught a guy, gave me an awkward eye (What you looking at?)
I noticed a guy looking at me in a strange way.

I strangled him up in the parking lot with his Karl Kani
I choked him in a parking lot using his own clothing brand - Karl Kani.

I don't give a fuck if it's dark or not
I don't care whether it was dark or light at the moment.

I'm harder than me tryna park a Dodge
I am tougher than parking a Dodge car when I am drunk.

When I'm drunk as fuck
When I am heavily drunk.

Right next to a humongous truck in a two-car garage
Next to a huge truck parked inside a two-car garage.

Hopping out with two broken legs, trying to walk it off
I was trying to walk despite having two broken legs.

Fuck you too bitch, call the cops
Screw you as well, and call the cops.

I'ma kill you and them loud-ass motherfucking barking dogs
I'll kill you and those dogs that bark noisily.

And when the cops came through
When the police came.

Me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house
Dr. Dre and I stood beside a burnt house.

With a can full of gas and a hand full of matches
We had a can of petrol and a handful of matches.

And still weren't found out (Right here)
But we were not caught or identified.

So from here on out, it's The Chronic II
My next album will be a sequel to The Chronic.

Starting today and tomorrow's anew
I am beginning fresh from today onwards.

And I'm still loco enough to choke you to death with a Charleston Chew
I am still crazy and ruthless enough to choke you using a candy bar called Charleston Chew.

Slim Shady, hotter then a set of twin babies
I am hotter than a set of twin babies as Slim Shady, the alter ego for Eminem.

In a Mercedes Benz with the windows up
Driving a Mercedes Benz with the windows rolled up.

When the temp goes up to the mid-80's
When the temperature outside rises to the mid-80s.

Calling men ladies, sorry, Doc, but I been crazy
Referring to men as ladies and telling Apple-co-founder Dr Dre he's crazy for having faith in him.

There's no way that you can save me
There's no way anyone can reform me now.

It's okay, go with him Hailie (Dada?)
It's alright, Hailie, go with him (father?)

If it was up to me
If it were up to me to decide.

You motherfuckers would stop coming up to me
You assholes will stop coming to me with your hands out expecting free stuff.

With your hands out looking up to me
You are coming to me expecting free stuff.

Like you want something free
As if you want something for free.

When my last CD was out, you wasn't bumping me
You were not interested in me when my last album was released.

But now that I got this little company
But now that I have a company of my own.

Everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease
Everybody wants to collaborate with me now that I am rich and famous.

But you won't get a crumb from me
You will not get a single penny from me.

'Cause I'm from the streets of Compton (Compton)
This is because I come from the Compton streets.

I told 'em all
I have already said this to everyone.

All them little gangsters, who you think helped mold 'em all?
I am asking who the people are that helped shape these young gangsters.

Now you wanna run around talking bout guns, like I ain't got none
Now they are running around talking about guns, weapons which I own already.

What you think I sold 'em all?
Why do you think I sold my weapons?

'Cause I stay well off?
Because I am well-off and do not need to sell them for money?

Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin' Dre fell off
Now I only receive hate mails all day accusing that Dre can no longer make good music.

What, 'cause I been in the lab with a pen and a pad
Did they stop believing in my abilities just because I was busy in my studio working on new material?

Tryin' to get this damn label off?
I am trying to lose the recording label's hold on me.

I ain't havin' that
I cannot let that happen.

This is the millennium of Aftermath
'Aftermath' is taking over this new millennium.

It ain't gon' be nothin' after that
Nothing can come after Aftermath.

So give me one more platinum plaque
I want one more platinum certification for my music.

And fuck rap, you can have it back
After that, I am done with rap, and you can have it back.

So where's all the Mad Rappers at?
I am asking where all the mad and angry rappers are.

It's like a jungle in this habitat
The rap industry is like a jungle with fierce competition.

But all you savage cats
All the fierce and ruthless rappers.

Know that I was strapped with gats
Know that I was equipped with guns.

While you were cuddling a Cabbage Patch
While you were playing with Cabbage Patch kids.
