    Lyrics:
    [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?
    [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?
    [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'
    [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

    My mom has been playing this song forever, and I never know who it was. Ended up watching DJ Vlad's interview with the D.O.C, and started searching his songs. Getting funky, and this has always been on repeat with my mom around. Blessed to find out true Hip-hop has always been around me.
