It's Funky Enough
The D.O.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I drop the beat I have in store
Lay dynamics on the top like a rug
Make it sound smooth and later make a dub
An MC ate well, so that you can tell
I am not illiterate, no not even a little bit
Nothing like an idiot, get it?
You want the record, cool, I'm with it
Let the rhythm take you, shake it cause it makes you
As I turn the knob of the door you escape through
Go in like a knot, don't be a puff
And I let it play cause Dre's getting funky enough
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
If you want another reason why it must be funky
Yo I am not a jackass meaning not a donkey
So I will play the game like it should be played
Drop the funk into the mix so the place will never fade
Ship it the the stations in your jurisdiction
Others say I'm dope, and the others say I'm bitching
No crowd can avoid the D-O to the see
When I'm P-E-are-F-O-are-M-I-N-G
On the stage, see the simple fact is I engulf
And known, I rock a funky beat without a cord so
It is my conclusion you will enjoy the fusion
And I will ascend with the style I am using
Knowing that it's tough and it's not a bluff
I think I'll let it play cause Dre's hitting funky enough
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place
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
I don't give a damn, don't think that I am joking
Cause I don't think he is funny when you're messing with my money
Yo people tell me this: "Yo Dre you must stop him"
But with no frills, so I just drop him
Continue with the rhyme and make sure I get mine
With no static cause that's all I need to get my nine, but
Lessons have been learned now all kidding have been fronting
Let it play when the people say "Dre yo you're getting funky enough"
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Deal with the D-O to the see
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Deal with the D-O to the see
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
Deal with the D-O to the see
I'm your break so I can check around
See who the hell who is sitting down
I want all chairs off the floor
And if he stands to the wall, show him the door
And the PK nothing giving you something to rock to
To go nonstop to, not have to look at the clock you
Percieve, but can't believe you're being taken
By a beat so cool you start shaking
And shivering, cause I'm delivering the answer
Haven't seen you're a hellified dancer
You tried sitting but it just won't work
Cause the beat is to fresh
Don't even tell it won't be funky enough
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
And with the help of the Dr. Dre, kick it
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
And with the help of the Dr. Dre, kick it
It's getting funky, it's getting funky
And with the help of the Dr. Dre, kick it
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy
The D.O.C.'s "It's Funky Enough" is a classic hip-hop track that celebrates the art of the MC and the DJ. The lyrics detail the process of creating a funky beat and laying down smooth, rhythmic rhymes on top. The MC brags about his skills and his ability to keep the party going, while the DJ (Dr. Dre) provides the funky beats that keep everyone on the dance floor.
The opening lines of the song set the scene for the MC to show off his skills. He counts in the beat (one, two, three, and four) before dropping it and laying down some smooth rhymes. He talks about laying down dynamics on the top like a rug and making it sound smooth, then making a dub. He assures the listener that he is not illiterate or an idiot, but a skilled MC who knows how to rock the mic. He invites the listener to join him on the dance floor and let the rhythm take them away.
The rest of the song continues in this vein, with the MC showing off his skills and the DJ dropping funky beats. The lyrics repeat the phrase "it's getting funky" several times, emphasizing the infectious groove of the track. The MC talks about shipping the music to radio stations and performing on stage, where he engulfs the crowd with his funky sound. He warns anyone who tries to mess with his money that he is not to be trifled with and continues to deliver funky lyrics and smooth rhythms. The song ends with a call to drop the needle on the one and get funky.
Line by Line Meaning
One, and here comes the two to the three and four
Starting the song and introducing the beat
Then I drop the beat I have in store
Bringing in the music I prepared
Lay dynamics on the top like a rug
Adding different layers to the music to make it more interesting
Make it sound smooth and later make a dub
Creating a polished sound and later making a version with added effects
An MC ate well, so that you can tell
I am well-nourished and energized to perform
I am not illiterate, no not even a little bit
I am not uneducated or ignorant
Nothing like an idiot, get it?
I am far from stupid or foolish, do you understand?
You want the record, cool, I'm with it
You want to hear my music, that's great, I'm ready
Let the rhythm take you, shake it cause it makes you
Let the beat move you and make you dance
As I turn the knob of the door you escape through
I'm opening up an opportunity to have fun and escape reality
Go in like a knot, don't be a puff
Get into the music and have fun, don't be weak-willed
And I let it play cause Dre's getting funky enough
I'm letting the music play because the producer Dre has created a perfect funky sound
If you want another reason why it must be funky
If you need another explanation of why this music has to be funky
Yo I am not a jackass meaning not a donkey
I am not a fool or an animal
So I will play the game like it should be played
I will do what it takes to succeed in the music industry
Drop the funk into the mix so the place will never fade
Inject the funk sound into the music to keep it exciting
Ship it the stations in your jurisdiction
Share it with radio stations in your area
Others say I'm dope, and the others say I'm bitching
Some people say I'm great, others say I'm controversial
No crowd can avoid the D-O to the see
Everyone enjoys the music performed by The D.O.C.
When I'm P-E-are-F-O-are-M-I-N-G
When I'm performing, spelling out my name
On the stage, see the simple fact is I engulf
When I'm on stage, I completely take over and am in control
And known, I rock a funky beat without a cord so
People know me for producing a funky sound without needing any equipment
It is my conclusion you will enjoy the fusion
I firmly believe you will appreciate the combination of sounds
And I will ascend with the style I am using
I will rise to fame with the style of music I'm creating
Knowing that it's tough and it's not a bluff
Understand that this industry is challenging and I'm not pretending it's easy
I think I'll let it play cause Dre's hitting funky enough
I'll continue the music because the producer Dre has achieved the perfect funky sound
Listen to the kick drop in with the click
Listen to the beat come in with precision
And with no rehearses I'm dropping funky verses
I can improvise and still deliver great lyrics
Stupid with the bit that you think you are relying on
You're foolish if you think that's all you need to succeed
You love it when it rattles is the fact that I'm buying on
You enjoy the sound when it's shaking and the reason is the beat I've created
Suckers never come close cause of knowing
No one foolish enough even tries to copy me because they know it's impossible
There is no stopping the D.O.C. when I'm flowing
I'm unstoppable when I'm performing well
But in the event that someone will try and juice this
In case someone tries to steal my sound
Stop him in his tracks, show him that I am Ruthless
I will take aggressive action to protect my music and brand
I don't give a damn, don't think that I am joking
I don't care what others think and I'm not kidding around
'Cause I don't think he is funny when you're messing with my money
Because I find it disrespectful and unfunny when someone interferes with my financial success
Yo people tell me this: "Yo Dre you must stop him"
People advise Dre to intervene and protect my music
But with no frills, so I just drop him
I get straight to the point and take care of the situation
Continue with the rhyme and make sure I get mine
Keep going with the lyrics and ensure that I benefit
With no static cause that's all I need to get my nine, but
I don't need distractions because my focus is what will bring me success
Lessons have been learned now all kidding have been fronting
I've learned important lessons and no one's fooling me anymore
Let it play when the people say "Dre yo you're getting funky enough"
Keep the music playing because the people are enjoying the funky sound created by Dre
I'm your break so I can check around
I'm giving you a chance to rest so I can look at my surroundings
See who the hell who is sitting down
Notice who's not dancing and try to get them involved
I want all chairs off the floor
I want everyone standing up and dancing
And if he stands to the wall, show him the door
If someone isn't dancing, encourage them to leave
And the PK nothing giving you something to rock to
The music is so good it's easy to dance to
To go nonstop to, not have to look at the clock you
To dance without stopping and not even needing to check the time
Percieve, but can't believe you're being taken
Experience the music and enjoy it without even realizing how good it is
By a beat so cool you start shaking
The music is so cool it makes you dance uncontrollably
And shivering, cause I'm delivering the answer
The music is so good it's giving you goosebumps and I'm the one creating it
Haven't seen you're a hellified dancer
I'm impressed with how great of a dancer you are
You tried sitting but it just won't work
It's impossible to sit still and not dance when you hear this music
Cause the beat is to fresh
Because the music is too new and exciting
Don't even tell it won't be funky enough
Don't doubt for a second that this music won't be funky enough
Deal with the D-O to the see
Experience The D.O.C.'s music
And with the help of the Dr. Dre, kick it
And with Dr. Dre's expertise, the music will be even better
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
The music is getting even funkier now
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy
Play the music and let it flow perfectly

I need an Unsung episode from him
@PlayaPotna1984
The DOC'S debut album went to #1 on the Billboard R&B charts and went platinum. It is a testament to what could have been with his career had the accident not happened.
@saltsalted1528
This single album basically gave him goat status and basically everyone likes it so it's pretty tragic that he could only go on as a writer.
@hysteriastyle
Fucking legend and so sorry for him till these day man. He would be fire af.
@Michael-cm4re
Well isn’t he ghost writing?
@angelo5152
He was in a serious car accident and had his front teeth broken and his voice was ruined
