Atlantic Recording Corporation - The Formula lyrics

[Intro: The D.O.C.] Yo, man that's the... D.O. to the C D.O., D.O. to the C Keeping it dope D.O., D.O. to the C Keeping it dope, Dre rockin' the instrumental D.O. to the C Keeping, keeping it dope, Dre rockin' the instrumental Knowledge and the talent, and the talent, and the talent... Keeping, keeping it, keeping it dope, D.O. to the C Knowledge and the talent, and the talent, and the talent... Keeping, keeping it dope, Dre rockin' the instrumental Knowledge and the talent, and the talent, and the talent... Keeping, keeping it, keeping it dope D.O., D.O. to the C, D.O., D.O., D.O to the C [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 s**ers 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 s**ers 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
