Lend Me An Ear

The D.O.C.

A little bit better than dopest



A brand new kid in showbiz



With knowledge I persevere



But now do me a favor, lend me an ear




And we can find the rhyme to fill in space



And drop the bass with a taste of light



Lyrical perfection, see I'm equipped to um



Open your mind like a Christmas gift



It's '89, the new school is needed



Originals, see nobody can do it like we did



The D-O to the C-O, a deuce not a trio



Me-o, mi-o, spin a chump like a gyro



Hard, dangerous, suckers angle this



Cut is raw, why? Cause they can't handle this



Loot to bring, and I take a second to rock the rhythm



And stay smooth like a prism



A Portrait of a Masterpiece, It's Funky Enough



Cause Dre told me it has to be



A little stronger, to I make not a mistake



I'm too much on the hype tip, Dre break




Circle an answer, it's a multiple choice



Who's the kid with the golden voice?



A, the brother upon this song



B and C, I don't know, but that answer's wrong



Pure simplicity, it's the D-O to the C



Most incredible, unforgettable



On a mission, the man kids want to be



Like that, cause I'm one in a mil



Hype producer, creator, maker



Making it now but I'll do it for you later



In the mix Dre put his hands on



(Scratching) Now that's a hell of a song



I show and tell what should be told



And say it with conviction and proper use of diction



So that it's easy to understand



(Who can do it better?) Huh, no one can



'88 is gone, and all you big shots



Have graduated, in other words made it



So it's a new year to start a new time



You need to know what's on my mind so lend me an ear




Hold the riff, sucker, cause we don't need that



It's so don't standing and my mic don't feed back



Break, you're broke, he got up and forgot



I drop science, and put his neck in a knot



Trying to hold what can't be held



So the punk records jam, I don't give a damn



I do it in a different class, so what's up?



You wanna break? You're all the threat of a buttercup



As knowledge coming, I'm coming never sleep or slip



I fall on the serious tip



Stop and stutter trying to think, your brain is soft



Words are clogged in your throat, you're coughing on



The boss, straight from the South



Word is bond from word of mouth



So let the nation be hip to the fact that I'm the great one



Until I sung, no damage done



Peace, a dream we all dream together



Dope forever together in a nation of one



Rising and showing no fear



Yo, lend me a motherfucking ear
