[Intro: MF DOOM]

The Supervillian versus the gold-digger

DOOM mild-mannered old nigga

Supporter for the daily blues

Reporter for the jewel, drop news, pop Israeli tools


[Verse 1: MF DOOM]

The world-renowned master of word game

Who lay low sometime behind iceberg nerd frames

(Ayo, MF) They heard the name, but just couldn’t

Quite place the rep if they retraced they steps

Next EP, who to give thanks ta?

Here lies the pranksta who tried to test a gangsta

The last thing he saw was a potato

From the lone NATO who hosts his own late show

Keep a low lab on Monsta Island like Seinfeld

White-wine clientele connected like Mind Meld

I can tell they sees these styles as too tricky

They’re too picky on this microphone doohickey

MF, Monday through Friday, get money

Saturday through Sunday, the brown Al Bundy

Waiting for the shit you’re kicking as the plot thickens

He wrote these rhymes in 3-D with red and blue BIC pen

And to the chickens, only hoes who say, “Let me hold ‘em”

Take him in their mouth while he’s semi-swollen—semicolon

I told him words would do a nigga brutal

For not using his noodle, F up and get bamboozled

He was the one to open to her up, blow her brains back

Dope her up or rope her to the train tracks

Or he would choke her ‘til she collapse

Steal/steel to poker/poke her with the wood and tell her, “Be good”

He could take a phrase like “Peter Piper picked a pepper”

And put it where he couldn’t peep a sniper, sicker repper

Nigga poppa, stick a chick proper

Double-platinum, Oprah, soap-opera watchers, gossipers on top of her


[Bridge: MF DOOM and (Sample)]

(I keep forgetting) can’t go

Raw anymore

(I keep forgetting) rappers is

Impostas. Been a show-stopper since a ho-hopper


[Verse 2: MF DOOM]

Never came second place in a neck-and-neck race

To the naked face who wanna battle: bring a neck brace

We supply the insult to injury

Whoever in the industry getting money is too stingy

Violate, you might as well smoke me, loc

Relocate, migrate, or get caught with the okey-doke

It’s guaranteed it’s your last step, so step to me

With the Uzi, watch that first step—it’s a doozy

Time flies as the hourglass trickles sand

One last thing before I blao this popsicle stand:

A rolling stone, and that’s that. At home

On the microphone like, “That’s where he laid his hat at”


[Outro: MF DOOM and (Sample)]

(I keep forgetting)

Keep making dough

(I keep forgetting)

Mad Flow, MF, Metal Face hoes

(I keep forgetting)

Factual stacks at shows

(I keep forgetting)

Worldwide, ‘cross the globe, let the beat rock
