Lyrics
[Intro]
This is serious business
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the Doctor
Y'all ready to get hyped or what?
Well, right about now the D.O.C. and
The Doctor
Is housin' the set center stage
Pumpin' it just like this
[Verse 1]
A little somethin' for the brethren, with intellect, you truly understand it
It's like a message from the one who's gettin' candid
Makin' a mark on the strength with rhyme
Ain't like nothin' when you're pumpin' somethin' that's bumpin'
Did it, 'cause it's like I had to make one
Better than the last one, cause a mistake? None
But somethin' new, was needed in the mix to
Make it as lethal, so lethal that I would think you
Couldn't be made to invade certain areas
No other jurisdiction, but that was fiction
As you progress and you're enlightened
And the better you're writin', by never bitin', you're excitin'
To the crowd, club, congregation, or gatherings
Homies in the street, they'll be thinkin' you OG
Smooth, wordy example of how I'm livin'
A kid in his prime pumpin' records that'll blow ya mind
[Chorus]
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
Lost our mind
Mind blowin'
The, the, the D.O.C.
Is
[Verse 2]
Dope
I would've been down with rock
But I'd be broke by the punk, I'm openin' up my trunk
To reveal death, livin' it up, my life is like a story
Yellin' it, 'cause nobody else is tellin' it
Checkin' it, always gettin' paid 'cause the rap is sort of a twist
Between what you needed and what I mean
What I mean by twist? Now ya gotta listen
Never a segment is negative 'cause I'm employin' what you been missin'
So in total, this is one of the many styles of an artist
Hard it may be, but not my hardest
Just a portion, cup of salty water in the ocean
Rockin' it was the notion, it seems I needed a potion
So I asked the Dr. D-R-E could he comply
Lookin' at me with a grin, he shrugged his head and said
"Why would you ask me a question, knowin' you knew the answer?
All the time, I make the records, you kick lyrics, that'll blow their mind"
[Chorus]
Lost our mind
Lost our mind
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
Lost our mind
Mind blowin'
The D.O.C.
Is
[Verse 3]
Lookin' for a dope beat to lay in somethin' melodic
After 30 seconds Dre looked up and said "I got it"
Like the dope sound, rollin' with the dope beat, made me rock a dope rhyme
Which was simple 'cause I'm
Equivalent to the greatest, nobody knew before
'Cause I just decided to make myself apparent once more
To deliver to you an order, let's call it a system
A brother tried to play me like a kid, so I dismissed him
And now I'm ruthless by keepin' the crowd groovin'
It gets so rowdy that you swear your chair's movin'
But it wouldn't, it couldn't, it's more a feelin' you encounter
When you're rockin' to the music of the D.O.C. and
Dre is on the cut, so be weary of all movement
But whatever you do, take the time
To enhance the record by makin' moves like smooth
When I'll keep pumpin' lyrics, type of music that'll blow ya mind
[Chorus]
Lost our mind
Lost our mind
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the Doctor
Lost our mind
Mind blowin'
[Outro]
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
The, the D.O.C.
