The Formula

High energy flowin' with the wisdom
 Sense of a rich man, knowledge and the rhythm
 This is what I'm usin' to come up with a style, so I'll
 Interact, altogether better with the crowd
 Nervous for a second and the record starts spinnin'
 And, I fall into the state of mind of what I've just created
 Pump it like the Dr., D and to 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 passion
 I hold for the stage, whether I'm coolin' or thrashin'
 Clockin' the concoction created by me
 When read, you read, E equals 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 D.O.C., what is it Dre? Yo man
 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 and to the O, and the O and to the C
 And the C and to 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 somethin's gettin' torn up, then I'm doin' the tearin', not bein' torn
 Shapin' up to be one of the top vocalists
 Lyricists, and when you hear of this, you shouldn't choke on this
 Knowledge and the talent, makes it valid
 For me to get it patent, Dre tell 'em 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'mma get mine
 It's in the cards, and I think I might have read this
 So dont' lie, and try to front like someone said this
 Most who know thoughts served by the D.O.C. 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
