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
