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
