My LifeDr. Dre

Songwriter: ​The D.O.C.

Producer: Dr. Dre

[Hook]
Just smokin' weed for hours
Drinking Hennessy for hours

[Verse 1: Dr. Dre]
That's when I started flipping shit, mixing at the EVE
In '83 World Class beats for free
I hooked up with this fool slinging cookies and shit, just rookies and shit
Stomping out the CPT
It was five niggas showin' muthafuckas the streets
Picked up this cat from Dallas then we went back east
Shit was wild when we broke them muthafuckas a piece
They said 'as long as you don't sing that shit about the police'
Now back on the coast, I don't bother no one
I keep strictly with the business 'til that shit gets done
Makin' money muthafucka, supposed to be havin' fun
But my faculty got fucked cause we fucked off one
They got me drunker than a skunk gettin' paid and shit
Never really considered what was made and shit
Like a Renegade and shit, thanks to shit
Niggas couldn't fade muthafuckin gansta shit
Ice Cube was performin', yeah he ain't no joke
Him and a bunch of Brooklyn niggas servin' nothin' but dope
And we all stayed down, we all kept winnin'
Studios and hoes was just the beginnin'

[Chorus]
In sunshine
(Yeah, I'm just tryin' to live)
My life, my life, my life, in the sunshine
(Yeah, I gotta live)
My life, my life, my life

[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
They said them niggas was real look how they ballin' and shit
When the business get up in it, it's all new shit
Make sure it's straight cause you gon' hate when yo' shit fake
Be like I can't fuck with that, back to servin' them cakes
I went to the liquor store so I could get me a drank
Then I ounce and just bounce get some pussy and thank
I see my nigga D.O.C. him and the security ballin'
In one of his foe's that muthafucka was crawlin'
He holla'd and shit but I can't hear that nigga jawin'
So I said hold up nigga, got my shit, we all in, he said

[The D.O.C.]
These papers fucked up my nigga you can check it out
If yo' shit fucked too let's put our own fuckin' records out

I got his information and went on my way
Went home and realized, shit I'm givin' paper away
Then there's a knock at the door, my brother Warren G
With some niggas out of Long Beach called 213
We started workin' on Deep Cover, said fuck it, we made it
They played it and they played it, got faded and replayed it
They said it's the shit, G funk shit be knockin'
The Row was bouta' drop and it was on and poppin'

[Chorus]
In sunshine
(Yeah, I'm just tryin' to live)
My life, my life, my life, in the sunshine
(Yeah, I gotta live)
My life, my life, my life
Just smoking' weed for hours
Drinkin' Hennessy for hours

Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre is a Grammy Award-winning rapper, producer, and mogul who is considered by many to be the greatest hip-hop producer of all time. He raised the profile of West Coast rap after he helped pioneer the sounds of gangsta rap in the 1980s with N.W.A and helped popularize the G-Funk sound in the 1990s with his label Death Row Records before changing his sound again after he established Aftermath Entertainment. Dre assisted in the rise of hip-hop stars Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, and Kendrick Lamar, while producing hits for many other artists. He also became a mogul with his Beats empire and partnership with Apple, helping him become one of the richest musicians in the business.

Born Andre Romelle Young in Compton, California on February 18, 1965, Dr. Dre started as a club and radio DJ. In 1984, he joined the music group World Class Wreckin Cru, which featured producer DJ Yella. Dre’s cousin Sir Jinx introduced him to a rapper named Ice Cube, and they later connected with Compton hustler Eazy-E, rapper MC Ren and producer Arabian Prince to form the gangsta rap group N.W.A. They released their seminal debut album Straight Outta Compton in 1988 and helped put the West Coast on the hip-hop map.

Financial issues led to the demise of N.W.A and caused Dre to form Death Row Records along with The D.O.C. and Suge Knight. Dre released his classic solo debut album The Chronic in 1992 and further helped the West Coast dominate the sound of hip-hop. Due to disagreements with Suge Knight, Dre left Death Row in 1996 and formed Aftermath Entertainment. He released his classic sophomore album 2001 in 1999 and later released multi-platinum albums from Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, and Kendrick Lamar. In 2002, Dre won a Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical.
