“Listen to the kick drop in with the click

And with no rehearses I’m dropping funky verses

Stupid with the bit that you think you are relying on

You love it when it rattles is the fact that I’m buying on

Suckers never come close cause of knowing

There is no stopping the D.O.C. when I’m flowing

But in the event that someone will try and Juice this

Stop him in his tracks, show him that I am ruthless”

                                          Verse from “It’s Funky Enough” by The D.O.C.
