Sense of a rich man, knowledge and the rhythm
 This is what I'm using to come up with a style
 So I'll interact altogether better with the crowd
 Nervous for a second then the record starts spinnin'
 And I fall into the state of mind of what I'd just created
 Pump it like the Dr. D into the R.E. suckers ready to leap
 Up on the tip when we made it
 Creative so I'll never be regarded as a regular
 More than just a little bit better than my competitor
 You should never underestimate the fashion
 I hold for the stage whether I'm coolin' or thrashin''
 Clockin' the concoction created by me
 When read you read E = the D.O. to the C.
 Knowledge and the talent that my mother had born to her
 Equals an artist that wont' be worn, what is that Dre?
 It's the formula
 It's like a message that only I could understand
 But those who want to comprehend will again
 Be in the midst of the brother
 Unlike another in any way
 'Cause Dre don't play, say what the other say
 Originality is a must whenever I bust
 A funky composition, it's crush and I trust that you
 Know it when you hear a funky record with potential
 Me gettin' hype 'cause Dre rockin' the instrumental
 Nothing like what you've heard before and more, never less
 See I don't Fess, I mean I'm like fresh if not the freshest
 When I'm expressin' my thoughts on
 Vinyl, you can't help but listen up and get caught on
 Hooked because I cook when I pick up a pen
 And begin, in the end it's dope, that's 'cause I want to win
 Knowledge and the talent that my mother had born to her
 Equals the DOC, what is it Dre?
 Yo, that's the formula
 Keepin' it dope as long as I can like imagine
 Makin' each record that I do better than the last one
 Take a little time, choose the topic and drop it
 Release it, the science of makin' dope beats with
 Rhythmic American poetry
 Shipped it to stations, now many people know of me
 I'm the D. into the O. and the O. into the C. and the C. into the
 period
 Suckers are fearing' this
 When heard, the dope style calculated by the great wait
 And take just a second to get caught up in my record
 new but not a kid to be worn
 If something' gettin' torn up then I'm doin' the
 Tearin', not bein' torn
 Shapin up to be one for the top vocalist lyricist
 And when you hear of this
 You shouldn't choke on this
 Knowledge and the talent makes it valid
 For me to get it patented
 Dre, tellin' what I'm rappin'
 The formula
 In effect and I'm smooth, that's why I'm on the incline
 Suckers frontin' for nothin' 'cause I'm goin' to get mine
 It's in the cards and I thank I might have read this
 so dont' lie and try to front like someone said this
 Most who know thoughts served by the DOC see
 That it's a mission impossible, tryin' to rock me
 For an arena who'd ask me to perform for her
 G.O. and easily I flow and ya know usin' the formula
