Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't let me find out, the bitch in you

Don't let me find out, the snitch in you

[Verse 2]

Fame and fortune, it's not your forte

Fuck the world now, I'm done with foreplay

Doctor's orders, go fuck yourself

Take two of these in the morning, overdose and kill yourself

Doctor's orders

[Verse 3]

Listen, this is my evaluation

This shit oversaturated, y'all can get evacuated

Kids sipping Actavis and they ain't even activated

Married to the internet, stuck in place, salivating

[Verse 4]

Ain't nobody graduating, don't nobody love this shit the way I love it

That's why I gotta hate it, everybody out for fame

That ain't no exaggeration, damn, I'm getting aggravated

Fuck, I'm getting agitated

[Verse 5]

Teachers so underpaid in these fucking schools

The police got our name in all they databases

Girls be thirteen acting twenty two

**** be forty four acting half they ages

[Verse 6]

Somebody tell me, what the fuck is going on?

These **** in tight shit, I'm in the fucking Matrix

It's looking like a sign of the revelation

'Bout time of the return of the fuckin' greatest

[Verse 7]

I got all these patients, man, how come they ain't patient with me?

They just think I want the money, why when I can take it with me?

Y'all don't do it for the love, for the love not

They gonna find out who you are, just admit it 'fore you get admitted

[Verse 8]

Say, what you living about? Fuck you gonna tell me?

Do you remember where you started out though?

You're looking lost now, you want a pass? Oh, damn

Fake it till you make it, take your little paper

But once you look in the mirror your credibility's gone now

I'd rather be hated on for who I am than to be loved for who I'm not

That's word to Doc

[Verse 9]

Fame and fortune, it's not your forte

Fuck the world now, I'm done with foreplay

Doctor's orders, go fuck yourself

Take two of these in the morning, overdose and kill yourself

[Verse 10]

In the beginning a few of the people who had a problem

I was this good, scoffed, I just shook off

Probably reminded you of the first time you saw Tiger Woods golf

Never thought about how much my race and nationality meant

But based on how I ascended, see how plain it was now

They want me to jet but no one really gave a fuck about my descent

Till I took off, mistook me because I look soft

But I stood tall, I just follow the (Doctor's orders)

[Verse 11]

So I rose and grew balls, told these hoes to screw off

Decided opposing you is what I'm 'posed to do, all's

I did was say what I'm feeling when the vocal booth calls

And had you on pins and needles when I spoke to you all

You felt my pain, it's almost like I poked voodoo dolls

And I hope my spirit haunts the studios when I'm gone

My picture jumps off a poster and just floats through the halls

And fucking goes through the walls like the ghost of Lou Rawls

Karma's headed for Armageddon, the drama setter, I'm going in

Already got an arm and head in and whoever said words are just words

Ain't heard me word them, I give a fuck if my image even ends up

Taking a personal hit, whoever I hurt or whatever bridges I burn

In this bitch and whatever bitches feel like they didn't deserve

What they get and whatever consequences come with every verse

Is worth it, so Doc, turn the beat on

Whose turn is it to get murdered on it?

[Verse 12]

And here's to all years I spent toeing a line to overtime

As sure as a mole is blind, in my mind

I'm still underground as a groundhog and I'ma go for mine

Like a whole furrow, just tryna dig up some gold and diamonds

And coal to find, no signs of slowing, these lines are my nines

I just load up the most rhymes and open fire with a closed mind

All I needed was someone to co-sign, been a (Doctor's)

Assault rifle with the sniper scope for this whole time

[Verse 13]

Day one, say when to blast, just give me the order, I spray, uh

Pain in the ass and get shot in the ass with a paint gun

Ain't no one safe from, nonbelievers, there ain't none

I even make the bitches I rape cum

I'm waiting on someone to say something

Dre, make the bass pump and let the tape run for old time's sake

I spit it straight through, this is take one

The moment you're waiting for has come but the

[Verse 14]

Fame and fortune, it's not your forte

Fuck the world now, I'm done with foreplay

Doctor's orders, go fuck yourself

Take two of these in the morning, overdose and kill yourself

[Verse 15]

Doctor's orders

Doctor's orders
