The Formula

[Verse 1: The D.O.C.]

High energy flowin' with the wisdom

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 won't be worn, what is that Dre?

[Refrain: Dr. Dre]

It's the formula

[Verse 2: The D.O.C.]

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?

[Refrain: Dr. Dre]

Yo, man, that's the formula

[Verse 3: The D.O.C.]

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 fearin' 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'

[Refrain: Dr. Dre]

The formula

[Verse 4: The D.O.C.]

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 think I might have read this

So don't 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
