dr.dre & the XX Lyrics

Yeah, nigga
A colloquial way to address someone, especially a friend

I'm still fuckin' with ya

Still waters run deep
Quiet people are often the most interesting or knowledgeable

Still Snoop Dogg and D.R.E.

'99, nigga, guess who's back

Still, still doin' that shit, huh, Dre?

Oh, for sho'
Oh, for sure

Yeah

Check me out
Pay attention to what I'm doing or saying

It's still Dre Day nigga, AK nigga
Referring to Dr. Dre's 1993 hit 'Dre Day', which was a tribute to himself, this line indicates that Dr. Dre is still as relevant

Though I've grown a lot, can't keep it home a lot

'Cause when I frequent the spots that I'm known to rock
When I go to places where I have performed before

Still puffin' my leaves

Still got love for the streets, reppin' 213 (for life)

Still the beats bang, still doin' my thang
Still making great beats and producing quality music

Since I left ain't too much changed, still
Since I've been away, things are still the same

I'm representin' for them gangstas all across the world
I'm standing up for people who lead a dangerous, criminal lifestyle all over the world

(Still) Hittin' them corners in them low-low', girl
Still driving my cool, lowrider car through the streets

(Still) Takin' my time to perfect the beat
Still taking a long time to create and perfect my music

And I still got love for the streets, it's the D.R.E.
I still care about the streets and the people who live there and I'm still Dr. Dre
