Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Dr. Dre]
Check this out, we've come to the last and final record
This is Dr. Dre in full effect and we gonna kick it off a little some this like this
We got my mella yella boy on the drums, We got Stan "the Guitar Man"
Dropping the rhythm. We got LA Dre on the keyboard and I want the whole
Posse in this motherfucker to rock on this funky ass beat we're gonna drop
Alright, So Ice Cube, you the early bird on this motherfucker , run it
[Ice Cube]
Picture a nigga that's raw
Amplify his ass and what you see is what's on
Motherfuckers I slaughter, blow em out the water
Word to me, fuck the father
My melody is deadly as a pin in a hand grenade
5 seconds before you get played
You can't throw me, I guess you'll blow up
Ever see a sucker scatter, it'll make ya throw up
Then I take advantage, you can't manage
To get up, all you can do is sit up, I get lit up
Hit up, Ice Cube tearing shit up
Like a dude you can bet on
Collide like a head on
Collision, stutter stepping is an incision
Of a nigga saying exactly what I vision
Because I'm gone, you think I left you all
But I stay in yo' ass like cholesterol
When I blast some solid ass Alcatraz
And if you escape, you better swim fast
'Cause I'll catch ya, physically and mentally
And the capital punishment's the penalty
Sitting in the electric chair, grab a hold
Pull the switch, yo' body twitch, your eye's explode
Out your skull 'cause being dull on a flow
Is an N-O, niggas didn't know that I can go
Off and show off to throw off the law
Turn, take 10 paces then draw
What's left is a motherfucker dead in the alley
Ice Cube is the shit on the grand finale

[Dr. Dre]
Yea, yea that was funky but we need the motherfucking villian to speak
So kick it

[MC Ren]
The grand finale, yo, it's my turn to bust
So let weak motherfuckers turn to dust
If you're weak it ain't my fault
Just take a kick in the ass and get turn into a pillar of salt
And niggas that's biting just to taste me
I make the punk motherfuckers buckle up for safety
And on the dope they caught from the flash
And swing like a bit when he's caught in a whiplash
Giving him pain 'cause I'm urgent
Rearrange the motherfucking face like a surgeon
It ain't no excuse for the torture delivering
Don't say that I scare you, I can tell 'cause your shivering
Lyrics label wit an X and not a G
I say fuck the police, yo, so now they after me
I'm wanted by the law so I stay low
Representing the pimp, bitches making my dough
In a different stage, I must of went on a rampage
Me and the D.O.C. are always hitting the front page
For what, for stealing and stepping up to the sheriff
And when I enter the party, niggas shit in a (cell pimp)
For what, maybe 'cause I'm Ren
And when they clean up shit, yo, they do it again
So fuck it, sit back cool and relax
While Eazy busts the facts kicking the grande finale

[Dr. Dre]
Yea, y'all know what time it is. Easy motherfucking E is in the house doing
Damage

[Eazy E]
The name is Eazy for me to come off like the inforcer'
Mass murder motherfuckers in a course of
An everyday situation where I would stalk by
Fuck the car, I do a motherfucking walk-by
Eazy-E and the D.O. to the C. and
Run house and there won't be no disagreeing
'Cause if there is some, you feeling staticy
Then I'm arrested (For what) assault and battery
Never outdone, only outdoing
Loving the bitches and the hoes boo hooing
Why 'cause they're addicted to my dick
The pleasure of pain, the wing-ding and flipped it
(Yea) and never forget when done in bed by
Eazy, the name of a Compton hard head
Cool but local like loc never broke
'Cause they're paid to be Ruthless, this is why I do this
I don't give a fuck about fame
I rather deal wit a number than a motherfucking name (word)
Get me paid and then rap
'Cause all the other bullshit money ain't jack
Eazy but not that Eazy to deal wit
Especially if you're popping bullshit
Put the E-A-Z-Y and to the E
Expression of thought on the motherfucking grand finale

[Dr. Dre]
Yea, that shit was funky, last but not least is the motherfucking D.O.C.
This is your album, so that means you definitely got to get funky, so run it

[The D.O.C.]
Swinging, singing a brand new rap
On a rhythm concocted by my homie in the back and
If it makes you giggle, it must be kinda funny
But to me it's kinda cool (Tell 'em why), I'm making money
Tripping up the man wit the (swig tan) movement
Proving if you're grooving then it cool when he be doing it
Taking a second for me to blow your mind
'Cause I'm the diggy diggy D.O.C. and I would've been down wit rock
But I was smart, the D.O. to the C. now on the formula
It's rough, I mean it's funky enough for me
And you can have a listen after that and this and
D-O-N-'T M-O-V-E wit out permission
From the D.O. to the C., I'm just better than
The normal man and I'll be dumb if a sucker can
Ever compete wit the elite
Much less beat, it's like dancing wit 2 left feet
Never smile when the D.O.C. is in the room
Or I'm a send ya ass to the temple of doom
I got raw when I came to Cali
Now wit NWA on the motherfucking grand finale





[Dre]

Overall Meaning

The song "The Grand Finale" by The DOC and NWA is a culmination of the talents of four artists - Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and Eazy E. It kicks off with Dr. Dre introducing the band and inviting Ice Cube to start the rap. Ice Cube comes in with a raw and deadly rap, showcasing his skills as a wordsmith. MC Ren then takes over the mic, delivering a tough-talking and aggressive rap that leaves no room for weaklings. Eazy E follows up with a braggadocious, yet witty, rap that highlights his unique style. Finally, The DOC ends the song on a high note with his signature flow and rhymes.


The Grand Finale is more than just a rap song; it's a tribute to the genre as a whole, with each artist showcasing their individual style and flair while also paying homage to the rap music that came before them. The lyrics are filled with violent imagery and graphic language, a hallmark of gangsta rap, which was the dominant genre at the time. The song's driving beat and fierce energy perfectly capture the rawness and intensity of the genre.

It's my turn to shine and show off my skills. Weak people should just disappear and leave the rest of us alone. If you can't handle my power, tough luck. People who copy my style will regret it, and I'll make them fear me


It ain't no excuse for the torture delivering Don't say that I scare you, I can tell 'cause your shivering Lyrics label wit an X and not a G I say fuck the police, yo, so now they after me
My music can be intense at times, but there's no excuse for not being able to handle it. You can try to deny that I scare you, but I know the truth because I can see you shaking. My lyrics are explicit and don't conform to society's norms. I don't bow down to authority, and that's why the police are after me


I'm wanted by the law so I stay low Representing the pimp, bitches making my dough In a different stage, I must of went on a rampage Me and the D.O.C. are always hitting the front page
I'm on the run from the police, so I keep a low profile. I profit from pimping and exploiting women. I've had my moments of chaos and rage, and the media always covers me and the D.O.C.


The name is Eazy for me to come off like the inforcer' Mass murder motherfuckers in a course of An everyday situation where I would stalk by Fuck the car, I do a motherfucking walk-by
I'm Eazy E, and I come off as someone who enforces my will on others. I'm capable of killing multiple people at once, even in everyday situations. I don't need a car, I can just walk by and kill someone easily


Eazy-E and the D.O. to the C. and Run house and there won't be no disagreeing 'Cause if there is some, you feeling staticy Then I'm arrested (For what) assault and battery
Me, the D.O.C. and Eazy-E make an unbeatable team. We run the show and don't allow any disagreements. If you do disagree, you're in trouble and I won't hesitate to attack and harm you


Never outdone, only outdoing Loving the bitches and the hoes boo hooing Why 'cause they're addicted to my dick The pleasure of pain, the wing-ding and flipped it (Yea) and never forget when done in bed by Eazy, the name of a Compton hard head
I'm always staying ahead of the game and outdoing myself. I enjoy exploiting and mistreating women, because they're addicted to me and the pleasure I bring them. Sex with me may be rough, but it's unforgettable because of my reputation as a tough guy from Compton


While Eazy busts the facts kicking the grande finale
Eazy-E takes the stage and delivers his final performance on this album


Swinging, singing a brand new rap On a rhythm concocted by my homie in the back and If it makes you giggle, it must be kinda funny But to me it's kinda cool (Tell 'em why), I'm making money
I'm delivering a fresh new rap on a beat created by my friend. If my lyrics make you laugh, it's funny to you but to me it's profitable and I'm making money


Tripping up the man wit the (swig tan) movement Proving if you're grooving then it cool when he be doing it Taking a second for me to blow your mind 'Cause I'm the diggy diggy D.O.C. and I would've been down wit rock But I was smart, the D.O. to the C. now on the formula It's rough, I mean it's funky enough for me
My unique style of flowing trips up anyone who tries to keep up. I'm proving that if you can dance to my music, then it's cool. It only takes a moment for me to impress my listeners, and it's because of my talent as the D.O.C. I could've gone down the rock route, but my experience in hip hop has made me realize that this is where I belong. My style is rough and funky, and it suits me just fine


From the D.O. to the C., I'm just better than The normal man and I'll be dumb if a sucker can Ever compete wit the elite Much less beat, it's like dancing wit 2 left feet Never smile when the D.O.C. is in the room Or I'm a send ya ass to the temple of doom
I'm far superior to the average person, and it's pointless for anyone to try and challenge me. I'm part of the elite and no one should even try to compete with me, because they'll never win. If you see me in a room, don't smile or I'll make sure you regret it by sending you to your doom

this album was a classic i love how 80s and 90s albums had a song at the end that shouted everyone out. 🔥🔥

Sea Pea

If not the shout-outs were in the liner notes

Mike Blaney

33 year later i still remember this song word for word verse for verse. Can't say that about most current artists a week after its off the charts, there's no soul in the new music.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

New music has soul like the old music you just have to tweak your ears homie. Don't write em off they have true life experience too.

Joseph Robinson 3rd

ICECUBE GETS 5 🎤 IN THE SOURCE MAGAZINE FOR THOSE CRAZY LYRICS BABY !! GO ⚡RAIDERS 🏈⚡

Mr Lewis

Cube did but ren came with it.

nlgPRO

The DOC was an amazing solo artist. His career was cut way too short.

Dj P

He definitely was too bad the car accident changed all that but it didn't stop him, releasing heater Skelter in 95 even tho his voice was scratchy the beats were still killer

Alekos Dafiniz

@Dj P I disagree
Helter skeleton was a 💩 album
Nothing memorable on it
That accident ruined everything

Joe Archuleta

Seriously I agree with Dj P being that I had felt really strong about what the D.O.C. was doing for rap music or more specifically that hard core West Coast tug style rap. Ok given his use of the reggae sounding style made his songs a good deal more catchy to many of us than everything else that was being produced, there was more to it than only that. When I listened to his songs it felt like he was the next Rakim and I understood what the term lyracist was referring to. That being said, I was very optimistic with the direction of Rap music and how the West Coast was able to create rap music in a style that no one could say was bitten and could be called our own. From that point, it is where Hip hop no longer was just a term used for labeling a style of music but grew into a lifestyle and culture. So when hearing helter skelter at first was a little heart broken but I got past that opened my ears and heard the Doc performing the lyrics in my own way then the songs made more sense and I was more impressed than I thought I could have been at that point. Anyway. I still got big love for him and wish he might do some more music that we might be able to hear online like on an only fans account. Ok I'm going on way to much now. It would be cool though
