3000
Dr. Octagon Lyrics

3000...
Introduction to the song, repeating the year 3000 multiple times.

I crank up lyrical flows,
I start performing with great energy and passion.

spit spats, whats that,
I am spitting out rhymes with such speed and intensity that it might sound nonsensical to some listeners.

the pattern record, dont touch the DATs, yo
I am controlling the flow and structure of the song, and warning others not to interfere.

check out the proskills, medical fulfills,
Listen to my professional skills and how I fulfill my art, like a doctor fulfilling a medical need.

contact, react to style, im back you lack,
Engage with my unique style of rap and react to my rhythms and beats. I am back and you cannot match my skills.

channels and handels with automaters on the panels,
I am manipulating sounds and channels through the use of automation panels and other electronic music tools.

turnin knobs, u slob suckers like baskin robs,
I am adjusting and tweaking the sound with care, while giving a humorous jab at those who don't take music as seriously.

carvel dont tell, your whole crew is ice cream, fudge,
A playful reference to a popular ice cream chain to say that other rappers are in fact not tough, but rather soft and malleable like ice cream.

rappers that budge, making moves stepping grooves,
Other rappers who try to move up in the industry can't match my moves, style, and groove.

and ride the place at like 33 dark shades,
I am performing with high intensity, like a car cruising at 33 miles per hour while wearing dark sunglasses.

now your seeing me,
My musical skills and talent are being recognized, and people are starting to 'see' me clearly.

let me shuffle red red red, see the black card it aint hard,
I am using card game metaphors to say that I am in control and choosing which direction the song and music will take.

pick n choose you loose, oops you lost,
I am saying that others who try to compete with my skills and songs will ultimately fail, and I will come out on top.

check out the boss on broadway down the walkway,
I am the 'boss' and leader in the rap industry, and commanding attention and respect everywhere I go, just like on Broadway's walkways.

suckers with MICs that end up with tooth decay,
Other rappers who try to challenge me or my skills will 'decay' and disappear, just like teeth decay over time.

I, the Doctor, stop ya,
I am taking on the persona of a doctor, ready to 'stop' or cure any rival rappers.

end your world, rock ya,
I am so powerful that I can end other rappers' careers and reputations, and rock them with my superior talent.

heads bop forever tunes, and they wont stop,
My music is so catchy and timeless that people will continue to dance and enjoy it for eternity.

like hip-hop keeps growing,
Hip-hop is a constantly evolving genre, and my music is leading its growth and development into the future.

sick-of sick-of showin scratches in matches business money reattaches,
I am criticizing the music industry and other rappers for being too focused on 'scratch' or temporary successes, while I prioritize building a brand and a lasting career.

world wide deep inside stocks and diamond rocks,
My music and skills are valued all over the world, like valuable stocks and diamonds.

in a million world, billion world, quatrillion world,
My music and influence transcend beyond just one world or place, into millions, billions, and even quadrillions of other worlds.

As space ive shown particiaptor acts,
I have shown through my music that skills can transcend time and space, and listeners can be active participants in the experience.

walk up, clog up, n mess up water down the sound,
Others who try to compete with me will only 'clog' and 'mess up' the flow of the song and dilute the quality of the sound.

that comes from the ghetto,
My music and skills come from an authentic place, the 'ghetto', and reflect real experiences and struggles.

in the middle, the core you tour, explore experience what is really you feel,
My music takes you to the core of the human experience, where you can explore and experience real emotions and feelings.

changing ways commercial raps in the grave,
I am criticizing the commercialization of rap music, and saying that it's not where the true value and authenticity lies.

stuff on disk thats very whack that you saved,
Other rappers may have low-quality, unimpressive music saved on disks, from which they cannot escape the negative reputation and judgment.

you think it's good it won't go platinum or even turn wood,
Just because someone thinks their music is good or of high quality, doesn't mean it will be successful or even last in the industry.

sell a cassette, your homies tape deck is wet,
Even if someone is able to sell a cassette (an outdated music medium) of their music, they won't be able to enjoy listening to it because their friend's tape deck is broken.

your my pet, my poodle-chicken noodles on the rise,
To me, other rappers are like pets or similarly small and insignificant, as I continue to rise in fame and success.

open your eyes and see my life,
I am encouraging others to pay attention to my life and success, and to see what it takes to make it to the top of the rap industry.

rap moves onto the year 3000...
Final conclusion of the song, repeating the idea that rap is constantly evolving and moving forward into the future.
