12 Steps to Recovery

[Intro]

Break out your fuckin' swishas

Light up your fuckin' weed

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

It's D R period Dre motherfucka

Back to set the record straight for motherfuckers

[Verse 1]

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 fuckin' 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 takin' 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 actin' like I wasn't comin' 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 trippin' and shit

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

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

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

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

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

[Chorus]

Twelve steps to recovery

[Verse 2]

Fuckin' 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 waitin'

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

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

'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

[Chorus]
