[Intro: Dr. Dre]
I just need y'all to bear with me for a minute
While I talk about the pages of my diary
Yeah, listen up, uhh

[Dr. Dre]
I remember when I got started my intention was to win
But a lot of shit changed since then
Some more friends became enemies in the quest of victory
But I made a vow, never let this shit get to me
I let it pass, so I consider that part of my history
And I'm strong, financially, physically
Mentally I'm on a whole 'nother level
And don't forget that I came from the ghetto
Sold a new house, for my moms, that's special
I let you, goin shoppin 'til your feet get tired
Then a, new Benz just for you to ride in
When I didn't have it, you provided
Don't be surprised that I built an enterprise
And my house got a view of the city, like a high rise
I'm just talkin to my diary
I'm just talkin to my diary

[Chorus: Dr. Dre]
When I open up my book I think about the world later
No ink in the pen, no lines on the paper
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just - I'm just talkin to my diary
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just - I'm just talkin to my diary
Sometimes when I got a lot of shit on my mind
I'm just starin at the sky, you probably thinkin I'm high
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just - I'm just talkin to my diary
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just - I'm just talkin to my diary

[Dr. Dre]
Now puff-puff-pass, got a nigga havin flashbacks
I remember how it used to be
Now my money like NASDAQ, my checks you can cash that
I remember how it used to be
I used to be a, starvin artist, so I would never starve an artist
This is my passion, it's where my heart is
It gets the hardest when I think about the dearly departed
Like the nigga I started with
I know Eazy can see me now lookin down through the clouds
And regardless, I know my nigga's still proud
It's been a while since we spoke but you still my folks
We used to sit back, laugh and joke
Now I remember when we used to do all-nighters
You in the booth and, Cube in the corner writin
Where Ren at? Shout out to my nigga Yella, damn I miss that
Shit, a nigga havin flashbacks

[Chorus]
