Yeah, nigga, I'm still fuckin' wit' ya
Still waters run deep
Still Snoop Dogg and D-R-E
'99 nigga (guess who's back)
Still, still doing that shit, Andre?
Oh, for sho', yeah, check me out
It's still Dre Day nigga, AK nigga
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
You hear the bass from the trunk when I'm on the block
Ladies, they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
How nigga? My last album was The Chronic
They want to know if he still got it
They say rap's changed, they want to know how I feel about it
(If you ain't up on thangs)
Dr. Dre is the name, I'm ahead of my game
Still, puffing my leafs, still fuck with the beats
Still not lovin' police (uh huh)
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease (for sho')
Still got love for the streets, reppin' 213 (for life)
Still the beat bangs, still doin' my thang
Since I left, ain't too much changed, still
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
Since the last time you heard from me, I lost some friends
Well, hell, me and Snoop, we dippin' again
Kept my ear to the streets, signed Eminem
He's triple platinum, doing 50 a week
Still, I stay close to the heat
And even when I was close to defeat, I rose to my feet
My life's like a soundtrack I wrote to the beat
Treat rap like Cali weed, I smoke 'til I sleep
Wake up in the a.m., compose a beat
I bring the fire 'til you're soakin' in your seat
It's not a fluke, it's been tried, I'm the truth
Since, Turn Off the Lights, from the World Class Wreckin' Cru
I'm still at it, After-mathematics
In the home of drive-by's and ak-matics
Swap meets, sticky green, and bad traffic
I dip through then I get skin, D-R-E
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
It ain't nothing but more hot shit
Another classic CD for y'all to vibe with
Whether you're cooling on a corner with your fly bitch
Laid back in the shack, play this track
I'm representing for the gangsters all across the world
(Still, hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl)
I'll break your neck, damn near put your face in your lap
Niggas try to be the king but the ace is back
(So if you ain't up on thangs)
Dr. Dre be the name, still runnin' the game
Still, got it wrapped like a mummy
Still, ain't trippin', love to see young blacks get money
Spend time out the hood, take they moms out the hood
Hit my boys off with jobs, no more livin' hard
Barbeques every day, drivin' fancy cars
Still gon' get mine regardless (still)
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
I'm representin' for the gangsters all across the world (still)
Hittin' them corners in them low, low's girl (still)
Takin' my time to perfect the beat
And I still got love for the streets, it's the D-R-E
Right back up in ya motherfuckin' ass
9-5 plus four pennies, add that shit up
D-R-E right back on top of thangs
Smoke some with your dog
No stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks!
Some of that real sticky icky icky
Ooh wee! Put it in the air
Boy, you's a fool, D-R-E
About This Song
"Still D.R.E. Ft. Snoop Dogg" is a defiant declaration of enduring relevance and artistic dominance in the face of critics who questioned Dr. Dre's staying power after his lengthy hiatus from solo work. The song serves as both a comeback anthem and a meditation on legacy, with Dre addressing doubts about whether he could reclaim his throne in hip-hop after focusing on production and business ventures. Lyrically, it's a confident assertion that despite time passing and the industry evolving, his influence and skills remain undiminished-he's "still" the same force that revolutionized West Coast rap. The track's minimalist yet menacing production, built around a hypnotic piano loop and thunderous bass, exemplifies Dre's signature G-funk sound while feeling contemporary and timeless. Snoop Dogg's laid-back delivery provides the perfect counterpoint to Dre's more aggressive verses, their chemistry reminding listeners of their legendary partnership from "The Chronic" era. The song operates on multiple levels: it's simultaneously nostalgic and forward-looking, celebrating past achievements while staking a claim on hip-hop's future. The repeated emphasis on "still" becomes almost mantra-like, reinforcing themes of persistence, authenticity, and the cyclical nature of success in rap. It resonated with listeners because it captured the universal desire to prove that experience and skill can triumph over fleeting trends, making it an anthem for anyone defending their relevance against younger challengers.
