Timbaland took D.O.E to his next label, Mosley Music Group in 2006, after Beat Club folded under the weight of the artists on the roster. He is featured on the hit "The Way I Are" on label mate Timbaland's Shock Value album. He was also on the song "Piano Man" where he disses Scott Storch over his rivalry with Timbaland. The song is a response to the Storch-produced Built Like That by Philadephia rapper NOX. The title references the fact that Scott Storch uses a piano to make his beats.
D.O.E. Has just release the Mixtape "Timbaland Presents: The Fall of John Doe. The Rise of D.O.E." in anticipation of his first major label release coming early in 2009. The first single is called "Coming Down" and has already been leaked online.
According to the rapper's All Music Guide entry, D.O.E. spent 2008 preparing his debut album.

D.O.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling that I won't fall
Mysteries and facts
While I'm falling apart
Stabbing my life
You don't see me cry
Recognize your fault
Or I'll be
I am the crack
That intensifies the fall
That intensifies the fall
That intensifies the fall
(I don't want to fall apart)
I am the crack
(I don't want to fall apart)
I am the crack
(I don't want to fall apart)
That intensifies the fall
That intensifies the
I don't want to fall apart
Gimme gimme pain
Gimme gimme pain
(I don't want to fall apart)
I am the crack
(I don't want to fall apart)
I am the crack
(I don't want to fall apart)
That intensifies the fall
(I don't want to fall apart)
That intensifies the fall
I don't want to fall apart
I don't want to fall apart
I don't want to fall apart
I don't want to
The lyrics of D.O.E.'s song "The Fall" depict the struggle of feeling like you're falling apart, while also acknowledging that one's own actions and choices can contribute to their downfall. The singer compares themselves to a crack that intensifies the fall, emphasizing that they will not be responsible for their own destruction. The opening lines of "Fly, like my feelings in the wind / Feeling that I won't fall" suggest a sense of freedom, but this is quickly contrasted with the darker image of "stabbing my life" and feeling invisible ("You don't see me cry").
The singer then challenges someone else to "Recognize your fault," implying that they have been hurt or let down by another person. The repeated refrain of "I am the crack / That intensifies the fall" serves as a warning or threat, suggesting that the singer is capable of bringing their own demise if necessary. However, the lines "Gimme gimme pain / Gimme gimme pain" indicate that the singer may also be struggling with feelings of self-destructiveness, and the final repetition of "I don't want to fall apart" reinforces the idea of wanting to hold on and not give in to their own weaknesses.
Overall, "The Fall" is a powerful song that captures the themes of inner turmoil, personal agency, and resilience in the face of difficulty.
