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
