The Doctor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's still Compton nigga, ain't shit changed
Nothin', but the numbers on the back of the Range
My arms got buffer, tracks got buffer
Cars got faster, stacks got buffer
Nigga, do the math, about a hundred million sold
In the best shape ever, I don't even feel old
I can run laps round these young ass niggas
Shit I'm like [?] to these young ass niggas
First Chronic raised 'em, the second one amazed 'em
This is Detox, [?] the Doc gon' blaze 'em
I don't even fuck with you hip hop niggas
Everybody goal is to get Doc figures
Took Aftermath to a whole 'nother level
And buried the remains of Death Row with a shovel
Made it happen for 50, made it happen for Em
Made it happen for Game, nigga, I always win

[Hook]
Need a hit, nigga, come and see the doctor
20 years in the game, [?] money in my name
Niggas can't keep up with the doctor
Niggas call themselves producers but they ain't movin' units
I do this, nigga, I'm the doctor
Niggas think they shit hot till they see Detox
[?], I'm the doctor
[?], you fuckin' with the doctor
[Verse 2]
Bitch ass niggas and bitch ass bitches
Focus on my cash, steady plottin' all my riches
Why you wanna know how much money I got
Don't you niggas know you can't fuck with the Doc?
I can give you 20 mil and be just fine
Enough to live wealthy at least 10 life times
Still Andre, no more Alize
Thinkin' 'bout comin' out with my own champagne
Gang of niggas try to imitate my style like
"Dre won't mind, he ain't dropped in a while"
But, they don't ever seem to do it quite like this
Niggas know we started this gangsta shit
I done came a long way from NWA
Still a nigga with a attitude, fuck the police
And fuck that little faggot George Bush, too
Aftermath, nigga, I'm the president, too

[Hook]
Need a hit, nigga, come and see the doctor
20 years in the game, [?] money in my name
Niggas can't keep up with the doctor
Niggas call themselves producers but they ain't movin' units
I do this, nigga, I'm the doctor
Niggas think they shit hot till they see Detox
[?], I'm the doctor
[?], you fuckin' with the doctor

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The Doctor is a song by Dr. Dre in which he raps about where he was at in his life during the time period the song was recorded in, mentioning the artists he has helped introduce to the world and how Aftermath is still on top. He also takes time to mention that while he had been out of the spotlight for a little while, he is still just as rich as ever.

While never officially released, it can be assumed The Doctor was meant for the Detox album, due to the reference to George W. Bush in the second verse (he was president of the U.S. from 2001-2009).
