| This is to listen to, so ask not a question
|
| Not to be taken as a simple suggestion
|
| But a warning, to whom it may concern
|
| If knowledge is the key, then I think it’s time you learn
|
| For there is not the problem
|
| Some leaders are acknowledged, I don’t follow 'em
|
| I turn into another degree
|
| And find the D-O to the C and growing like a tree and
|
| Causing much destruction because I’m crushing
|
| Complimented much, yeah, but never blushing
|
| Hard like a criminal, and I’m subliminal
|
| In my own right it’s dope cause I’m original
|
| Funky, unmistakably so
|
| When the vocals are done, then you know
|
| It’s all a matter of setting a date
|
| For America’s most complete artist, but wait
|
| Make sure you keep the facts in mind
|
| Don’t mess with The Great, cause the Doc is like a nine
|
| With a voice, telling you the bullet’s direction
|
| I’m talking murder, but that’s another section
|
| I need to explain while keeping my composure
|
| There’s no jerking a sucker when he knows you’re
|
| Nothing but a villain, and you’ll kill him
|
| So he’s in fear, but there ain’t no need in spilling
|
| Your guts to a nut, no, I am not your equal
|
| Meaning your equivalent, I’m more like heaven sent
|
| I got it together so clever no one could sever
|
| Remember this forever
|
| (No one can do it better) (Repeat 3x)
|
| Knowledge is the key, and hard work is the fee
|
| For me to be The Great at the start and remain to be
|
| A threat, til the opposition is warned
|
| Taking as long as a song, cause I was born
|
| With instincts to kill, a grave mentality
|
| Over the edge and you say you want to battle me?
|
| At your own risk, approach and be hosted
|
| And in the end you may win or be roasted
|
| But seeing it’s part of a game, you think if you hang
|
| Close to The One and you’ll claim, but that’s lame
|
| And I’m «Damn, another loser»
|
| Without an apology, so next time I’m a use a
|
| Little more force to get the message across
|
| It’s The D.O.C. |
| on the boards
|
| Creating, demonstrate some relate to easy listening
|
| But here’s a christening of what you’ve been missing
|
| An exhibition, a new hip-hop introduction
|
| Smooth lyrical gab and I do the conducting
|
| Drop it on a rhythm, suckers face it
|
| But new to the masses, it’s like I’m starting classes
|
| Better bet I understand the direction
|
| In which I’m going, in fact when I’m flowing
|
| The news is a constant change from one minute to the next
|
| I’m different cause I always show flex
|
| And it’s essential, that’s why I got it together
|
| To the letter and
|
| (No one can do it better) (Repeat 3x)
|
| I need to make it understood, The D.O.C. |
| is not a hood
|
| Not at all, though I carry a weapon when I’m stepping
|
| I’m not a murderer, not in the sense that you’re accustomed
|
| I buy in the system with suckers smoothly bust them
|
| Opposition is taken and that’s a quote from the Doc
|
| And the Doctor cause this ain’t no joke
|
| So if you smile, here’s the outcome:
|
| Your teeth are gone, your mouth is numb
|
| Don’t get involved, unless you’re willing
|
| To risk murder by mic 'cause when they’re illing
|
| You gotta be weary, watch for cautious, yo, be warned
|
| By Dre and out the project born
|
| Capable in any and every
|
| Cause, yo, I get heavy, when introduced to a medley
|
| Such is the case before the bass started wompin'
|
| I had to hook up with the boy from Compton
|
| Searched and found the sound then accepted
|
| The job of making L.A. well respected
|
| Of course with the help of a gang that’s Ruthless
|
| Peace to the homies as I do this, what I mean and
|
| MC Ren is in the house, Ice Cube definitely in the house
|
| DJ Yella, Yella cold with the hoes
|
| And Eazy-E is stupid chilling 'cause he knows, yo
|
| No matter who’s badder I’ll be the dopest forever
|
| By kicking lyrics so clever that
|
| (No one can do it better) (Repeat 5x)
|
| Time is taken to dedicate peace to the homeboys
|
| My homie Laylaw, MC Ren, Ice Cube, Eazy-E
|
| DJ Yella, Fresh K, MC Smooth, my homie T-Low
|
| And of course without a doubt, the one and only
|
| My DJ Dr. D-R-E most definitely in the house
|
| Peace to those homies and I’m outta here |
