Crooked I - If I Was Dre Lyrics






Yo Silkk
Yo Chris
I was just thinking man
If I was Dr Dre what the fuck would I say man?
(What would I say?)
I really ain't got shit to say
(Nothing to prove)
3 empires
Biopic of the century
(No debate)
Billion dollar business deals
(Y'all seen it)
I'd probably say some shit like this right here

Fuck it, let's do it then
Will I change music again
That depends on what mood I'm in
I can fuck the game raw
Smooth without using lubricant
Til it give birth to a new class of music you niggas students in
They all wonder about that Doc shit
What is it that he on?
Is it rock shit?
Jump in a mosh pit like the Kings of Leon
Nah nigga, it's my shit
Only thing I'mma be on is whatever I wanna hear me on
That hot shit
The same shit you know me for
The same shit these bitches blow me for
Even that lonely whore that you thought was only yours
I'm on the same shit I was on before
On the court
Doing it for the block
Emeka Okafor
Balling
I got the club leaning
Like it's a drug fiend
And I got the thugs squeezing on they snub thinking
About they upbringing
When I'm upspeaking
About that Compton life
We doing it for the dollars
Nigga fuck sleeping
Speaking on sleeping
You're sleeping on the biggest threat
Til I got your body of work bleeding on the internet
I'm sick as an emphysema patient
Blowing smoke through the hole in his throat
Chiefing on a cigarette
Even though it's in his neck
No other way to say this nigga
You fucking with the greatest nigga
I disappear for a minute
And I got that quiet hush money
Now shut the fuck up and pay this nigga

I'm back
(Yeah)
If I was Dre I'd say some shit just like that
(Just like that)
Let these niggas know
You can't fuck with me, man
(Never could)
And then I say some shit like this
(What?)

Soon as they heard my footsteps
Niggas start ducking and the button ain't even pushed yet
Bitches heard I was coming back
And it made they puss wet
I ain't even tied up my chucks or lit up the kush yet
I ain't even told my adoring public
That I got something for 'em
Hardcore and rugged
And of course they gonna love it
And of course I'm regulatin' like Nate
Getting that paper like Warren Buffett
If it ain't about paper, it's a foreign subject
I'm pouring buckets of champagne
Black bottles nigga
Toast to God
I'm music
I'm black Apollo nigga
I laid the blueprints
You rappers have to follow
It's my shoe print I left behind to guide the path for all you niggas
So I don't care what your people sold
He couldn't keep his soul
Sold it for a piece of gold
The billboard is calling me Grim Reaper
Because I put the album charts in a sleeperhold
When I switch into ether mode
Getting money before you could read and write
I count it in the dark cause I get it faster than the speed of light
All you got is rapping
I be on my Phil Jackson
I keep winning without the bullshit
And I don't even need a mic
But if it's on then it's on
It's that Don Dada shit
What if Capone did a song
It's that Godfather
Park in the top
This Impala rockin' wallabees
Walk in the top
On my Rockwilder shit

I'm back Cali
Yeah, I'd say some shit like that (real talk)
If I was Dr Dre I'd say some shit just like that
I'd say you niggas couldn't see a picture of me man (not at all)
Only competition is in the mirror
That's the only real talk
And then you know what I'd say before I leave?
Compton

  32. A.... G....

  33. C.... M....

  34. P.... ....

    UNDERRATED AS FUCK

  35. s.... c....

    That Phil Jackson line Though ....*jawdrop*

  36. m.... ....

    If I was Dre I would be making 5 salats
    facing Makkah

    Because you always thank Allah when he bless yah

    I came far in this rap game
    dropping bars in this rap game

    making beats for the streets
    making stars in this rap gang

    it aint no thang for me to make paper
    and pay bills

    posted up in the paint like O'neal
    getting 'rangs' if Allah wills

    making billion dollar deals
    with beat sounds

    sometimes I go raw
    and hear the bleep sounds

    Allah in my corner
    who can oppose me

    delivering harmony to your ears
    cause the One Choose me

    to make you loose control of your feet
    like they got terrets

    Push you off a cliff with my beats
    and watch your ears free fall without a net.

    That's what I would say If I was Dre or i wouldn't say dizzle.

  37. N.... ....

    "Count it in the dark cause I get it faster than the speed of light" Whoo!

  38. B.... ....

    KXNG CROOK. SALUTE.

  47. J.... L....

    If I was Dr. Dre I'd sign Crooked and the HSG.

    J.... L....

    +Richard Bettsworth as a group

    J.... L....

    Dre and Aftermath hadvCrooked but he needed 💰 vasap and SUGE offered him that... and drecwascalready working on someone else album at time and Crooked did not want to bevpushed aside esp with his talent.

    J.... L....

    WhyvAftermath just let Crooked walk andvsign with Death Row becausssse Dre was busy with other shit before he could work with Crooked and NobAdvancd...but Suge offered upbvright away

  48. I.... ....

    made a reference track for dre, got turned down so he did this lol

    I.... ....

    +TheRealDjSilk yes, i believe you're lying but i don't understand why. it doesn't mean it's any less of a song if it's a reference track. and why you sweating over this? what's in it for you?

    I.... ....

    TheRealDjSilk Are you the real DJ Silk? Could you maybe give me a basic beat and I'll send you back some vocals?

    I.... ....

    Ok +TheRealDjSilk When did Dre make the talking to my diary beat

    I.... ....

    Tander101 😂😂

    I.... ....

    Fredde Kung 😂😂😂😂😂

  49. A.... O....

    First Budden on Em's cock now Crookied on Dre's, shit slaughterhouse on some arse licking shit. both tunes are good tho

  50. K.... T....

    Incredible! Thanks for that bru, I needed a solid hit with solid lyrics, and made for a great!

  51. A.... P....

    Crooked always on point!!! #Compton

  52. T.... A....

    Crooked must be bored 😂 unless hes gonna do it from a bunch of rappers perspectives, it wouldve been better if dre was in some bs with the media and it was a defense, itd have to be the right situation tho

  53. L.... H....

    If I was Dre I'd be doing more music with Crooked I like Don't Close Your Eyes. The Compton soundtrack needed some Crook too. If I was Dre I'd be trying to produce some Slaughterhouse. Nobody knows hows to do a rap group like Dre.

    L.... H....

    +Richard Bettsworth this is tragic

  54. B.... B....

    Its just to bad people dont realize that this is real rap

  55. I.... M....

    One of the all-time greats this guy. Him, Pac, Rakim, Em, Tech n9ne, Andre, Nas, Biggie, Pharohe Monch. he's the most underrated though.

  56. C.... 3....

    Crooked I always got bars

  57. S.... W....

    dope asf!!

  58. R.... W....

    The instrumental is nice too.

  59. J.... ....

    This is dope!

  60. j.... ....

    get Dre to rap this, and have him produce it lol

  61. R.... M....

    Yes yes yes

  62. M.... ....

    Crooked-I is top 5

    M.... ....

    @killerdamski so is crook a better lyricist

    M.... ....

    yep i think so mate 

    M.... ....

    +Tom Beechey Forreal yo, Kxng Crook signed his first record deal in 1995 that dude is an idiot for saying his career hasn't been that long. Eminem's Infinite album dropped in 1996.

    M.... ....

    +DeathSpectro702 Crooked's career hasn't been that long? He dropped a mixtape and signed his first record deal in 1995.
    Eminem dropped his Infinite Album in 1996.
    Nice try pal.

    M.... ....

    +DeathSpectro702 Hasn't been as long? What, nah brutha Crooked was back in Pac days, NWA shit, if you didn't know, he ghostwrites a bunch of artists shit, he's his own and other artists producer, he's smart to join to Em's Organization, it will help the both of them out. He is currently CEO of his own record labels, "Dynasty Entertainment,"  "C.O.B. Digital," as well as "Senior Vice President," of "Treacherous Records." Before starting his own label, he was also signed to Virgin Records and Death Row Records but his FIRST ever "Independent Record Label began at the age 17," he called it "Muscle Records," Em chose being in the "public eye," path, while Crooked kept it quiet doing "Big," business else where, didn't ever fold a bit for mainstream industry, or become a "Puppet," like most do..

  63. R.... W....

    Him and Locksmith connect words alike.

  64. m.... ....

    Get it Crook, Respect.

  65. B.... D....

    if you were dre you would be a woman bester too

  66. M.... E....

    somewhere in cali dre blushin like shucks crookedi , u shouldnt have

    M.... E....

    lol he Prolly used to it, remember I need a doctor.
    he Prolly like... couldn't have said it better myself Crook

    M.... E....

    fo real.. Crook killed this shit. Dre like "i wish i could say it like that"

    M.... E....

    Dre really sayin, "I wish I'd have paid crooked to write my verses a long time ago and I'd be relevant for more than my beats..."

  67. D.... M....

    Crooked I is GOAT

    D.... M....

    +Danny Myers BAR GOD!!!!!

    D.... M....

    +kyle relph id say danja zone got at danny. straight up

    D.... M....

    Yes sir hoping people wake up and realize what they've been missing.

    D.... M....

    Danny Myers I'm with ya for as of now but dunno bout all time...Very fuckin close tho no one has his lyrical abilty to spit pure rawness no matter the subject like him now...His confidence makes him even better..

    D.... M....

    55marpo lol yeah thats tru but feelings change & statuses change over years...That tracks a classic too...

  68. f.... ....

  69. -.... ....

    -.... ....

    Which one is it nigga lol

    -.... ....

    @Wizard101daily
    Ill puti t this way if im making a list hes going to be in it.

    -.... ....

    +TORRiD what re the others

    -.... ....

    trying to be politically correct..hahaha!!!

    -.... ....

    fo sho top 5 in ma book

  70. J.... T....

    25% Of Slaughterhouse!!!!! 🔪

    J.... T....

    lets be honest SH is just Crooked ft Joell, Joey and Royce. Not to say those guys aren't dope but crook is just on another level

    J.... T....

    +R Adamo royce is better than crook

    J.... T....

    @Jordan Stormcloak 90% of his rhymes are just about his dick and guns honestly I'd say royce is the most boring SH member. PRhyme was dope but he doesn't bring that same to SH songs

    J.... T....

    Budden ain't raw, he ain't a monster. He's a whiny girl, who can't even be compared to the rest of SH. It's not even just his rhymes that are weak.. His execution is off, his on stage presence is average at best and to top it off his commitment and willingness to put in work is not there. The other 3 members are always putting in work, bringing out solo stuff working with other artists, doing major SH stuff. Budden does not have the talent or put in the effort to be part of Slaughterhouse, too busy bitching about his problems.

    J.... T....

    Joey has written some of the realest stuff on his records, perhaps you just can't relate. Go listen to the mood musik tapes and tracks like pray for me. He bleeds through his pen, if that ain't real I don't know what is

  71. D.... ....

    Instant like, fucking raw shit right here! Gave me some goosebumps hearing that!

  72. M.... ....

    This flow man jeez

  73. I.... H....

    SUTT SUTT

  74. j.... h....

    ShadyXV go hard

  75. M.... ....

    This guy went fucking hard... lol. I wonder if this was before fv dissed his brothers, cause I bet after that little diss crookeds hunger turned up!

    M.... ....

    fv asked for a 500k battle to anyone h gang challenged them Fv turned them down cause they pussies Fv is nothing to crooked I or slaughterhouse

    M.... ....

    +Tanner Merasty but the same day fv made their diss horseshoe gang shot back with "same day" horseshoe gang won all day

  76. a.... m....

    Don't do it to em Crook they ain't ready for Cali MCs

  77. T.... U....

    ok.
    if I was dre you know what I would say?

    "Hell yeah".

  78. A.... ....

    lyrical genius

  79. S.... Z....

    hot as hell! kxng always goes hard.

  80. B.... Z....

    wooooooo

  81. A.... V....

    the realness

  82. H.... b....

    first mo fuckers

    H.... b....

    No one gives a fuck.

  83. D.... J....
