Still D.R.E.
Length: 4:30
Release: 1999
Opening Lyrics:
I’m still fucking with you
Still waters run deep
Still Snoop Dogg and D-R-E, ’99 nigga
Guess who’s back?
Still, doing that shit Andre?
(Oh for sho’, check me out)
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 truck when I’m on the block
Ladies they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off
How nigga? My last album was The Chronic (Nigga)
They want to know if he still got it
They say rap’s changed
They wanna 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 loving police
Still rock my khakis with a cuff and a crease
Still got love for the streets, reppin’ 213 (For life)
Still the beats bang, still doing my thang
Since I left ain’t too much changed, still
The Next Episode
Length: 2:41
Release: 2000
Opening Lyrics:
It’s the motherfuckin’ D-O-double-G (Snoop Dogg!)
Da, da, da, da, da
You know I’m mobbin’ with the D.R.E. (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know who’s back up in this motherfucker! (What, what, what, what?)
So blaze the weed up then! (Blaze it up, blaze it up!)
Blaze that shit up, nigga… yeah ‘Sup Snoop?
D-P-G-C, my nigga, turn that shit up
C-P-T, L-B-C, yeah, we hookin’ back up
And when they bang this in the club, baby, you got to get up
Thug niggas, drug dealers, yeah, they givin’ it up
Lowlife, yo’ life, boy, we livin’ it up
Takin’ chances while we dancin’ in the party fo’ sho’
Slip my hoe a 44 when she got in the back do’
Bitches lookin’ at me strange but you know I don’t care
Forgot About Dre
Length: 3:42
Release: 1999
Opening Lyrics:
But I been low-key
Hated on by most these niggas with no cheese
No deals and no G’s
No wheels and no keys, no boats
No snowmobiles, and no skis
Mad at me ’cause I can finally afford
To provide my family with groceries
To add to the wall, full of plaques
Hanging up in the office in back of my house like trophies
Did y’all think I’ma let my dough freeze, hoe please
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees?
Who you think brought you the oldies?
Eazy-E’s, Ice Cubes, and D.O.C’s
The Snoop D-O-double-G’s
And the group that said, “Motherfuck the police”
What’s the Difference
Length: 4:04
Release: 1999
Opening Lyrics:
What’s the difference between me and you?
I was bangin’ 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
And I’ma do whatever it takes to convince you
‘Cause you my nigga Doc, and Eazy I’m still with you
Fuck the beef, nigga I miss you, and that’s just bein’ real with you
You see the truth is
Everybody wanna know how close me and Snoop is
And who I’m still cool with
I Need A Doctor
Length: 4:43
Release: 2011
Opening Lyrics:
You’ve been gone for so long
I’m runnin’ out of time
I need a doctor, call me a doctor
I need a doctor, doctor
To bring me back to life
Say it on tape, and lay it, record it
So that one day I could play it back
But I don’t even know if I believe it when I’m sayin’ that
Doubts startin’ to creep in, every day it’s just so grey and black
‘Cause no one sees my vision when I play it for ’em
They just say it’s wack, but they don’t know what dope is
And I don’t know if I was awake or asleep when I wrote this
All I know is, you came to me when I was at my lowest
