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

So leaders are acknowledged, I don't follow them

I turn into another degree

And find the D-O to the C and growing like a tree and

Causing much destruction cause I'm crushing

Complimented much, yeah, but never blushing

Hard like a criminal, and I'm subliminal

In my own right I'm dope cause it's original

Funky, unmistakibly 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 that you keep the facts in mind

Don't mess with The Great, cause the D.O.C. 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 by keeping my composure

There's no jerking a sucker when he knows your

Nothing but a villian, 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 all 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

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 that 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 boss

Creating, demonstrate some realate to easy listening

But here's a christening of what you've been missing

An exhibition, a hip-hop introduction

Smooth lyrical gab and I do the conducting

Drop it on a rhytm, suckers face it

But new to the masses, it's like I'm starting classes

Better bet I understand the direction

That 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, even though I carry a weapon when I'm stepping

I'm not a murderer, not in the sense that you're a customer

I buy in the system with suckers smoothly bust them

Opposition is taken and that's a quote from the D.O.C.

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 when they're illing

You gotta be weary, watch for caution, yo be warned

By Dre and out the project born

Capable in any and every

Cause yo I get heavy, when introduced to a medly

Such is the case before the bass started womping

I had to hook it up with the boys from Compton

Searched and found the sound and accepted

The job of making L.A. well respected

Of course with the help of the gang that's Ruthless

Peace to the homies as I do what I mean and

MC Ren is in the house, Ice Cube is definitely in the house

DJ Yella teach 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 dedicated to say 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
