Song lyrics

Break out your fucking swishers

Light up your fucking weed

I'd like to introduce you all to The Chronic III

It's D R period Dre motherfucker

Back to set the record straight for motherfuckers


I gotta be the number one supplier

I keep you higher than Richard Pryor

I been the dope man since '86 ('86)

From a nigga with a attitude to a nigga that's fucking rich

I'm feeling better than I've ever been

A lot stronger, plus I got a bet I win (bet I win)

I'm taking all bets, fuck it I'm all in

And when I'm finished with this business I will be number

(One, one, one)

Started out on the turn tables, but look how the tables turned

You can't imagine what my label earned

I gross more in a year than most niggas make in their whole career

I'm only here (two, two, two) make sure I shake up your rear view

And you niggas could not see me with a clear view

If I was you I'd probably hate me too

'Cause yeah you got a budget but you can't fit Dre in it

It's (three) album solo, the Aftermath logo

Platinum plus 'cause I don't go gold, you know

My stats, ain't got enough wall for all my plaques

Niggas acting like I wasn't coming back

(Four) more, I'm too in love with this shit, plus I came too far to quit

And it was in nine (five) I got sick of niggas tripping and shit

So I started building my label, sometime in 9 (six)

Adjust the levels on my mic so it's loud and clear (testing)

This is something that I want the whole world to hear (world to hear)

(Seven) I'm tired of niggas blaming sales on the industry

The music ain't shit, and personally it's offending me

Fucking with the D-R, find yourself an E-R

Need C-P-R, do you know who we are?

Love cognac and cigars, so high I don't see y'all

On a whole 'nother level, that's why I couldn't be y'all

(Eight) straight summers they've been patiently waiting

And I-, I'd like to thank you all for being patient

I-, I'd like to shout out all the critics for hating

'Cause you've only been the fuel for my motivation

(Nine) you cat's lives is limited

While I got black cards for all of my businesses

And there's (ten) million reasons why you can't fuck with Detox

And I'm the biggest influence in hip-hop

(Eleven) I can't stop (can't stop), look what I started (thanks to hip-hop)

I get the most pay, because I work the hardest

(Twelve) "Should've been Number 1 to me"

It's hard work to you, but it's fun for me
