MF Doom

Daniel Dumile (IPA: duːməleɪ) (born January 9, 1971, in London, England) is an American hip hop artist who has taken on several stage names in his career - originally Zev Love X, most famously MF DOOM, and in side projects as King Geedorah, Metal Fingers and Viktor Vaughn. In considering Dumile's quoteable lyrics it is just as important to observe single lines as is how they fit in the context of a complex set of lines or verse.

Take Me To Your Leader (King Geedorah)

• The Fine Print

"This just in: they ain't even worth the worr

Lying on their first birth and couldn't even hurt a Smurfberr

Hear ye, hear ye! How dare y

Go up against the king who do his thing tri-yearly

They're too carefree with their mouths around her

Off with his head, and display it at Town Square"

• Anti-Matter

"Excuse me Mister, do she got a sister

Who He not to kiss her? True, she do got a blister.

Not a movie-plot twist like a Twizzler-

If I needed my meat burnt, I'd go to Sizzler.

Gettin' paid like a biker with the best crank

Spray it like a high-ranked sniper in the West Bank

Type to just blink and don't show much pity

When I'm in the city, I always keep a Dutch with me.

Touch her titty

Til she asks me where the trees is at

Or tell me 'Don't squeeze that.' Rats wanna tease a cat

Let the dog beg, wait up

Who talkin'

DOOM with the hogleg, straight up New Yorkin'."

• Fazers

"He only here to warn us what the plan is

The hour is upon us, it's bananas

Born alone, die alone, no matter who your man is

Hope he live long enough to tell it to his grandkids"

Operation Doomsday

• I Hear Voices

"On the slow-mo the calm artist with the so-so chick

Chased them all like Cairo did to Slobodan Milosovik

Anyhoo, how 'bout them Yankees?

Once I leave off-stage the party people thanks mee's

If I may speak freely nasty like the freaky-deeky

At your local sleazy speak-easy"

Vaudeville Villain (Viktor Vaughn)

• Vaudeville Villain

"Viktor the director flip a script like Rob Reiner

The way a lotta dudes rhyme their name should be 'knob shiner'

For a buck, they'd likely dance the Jig or do the Hucklebuck

To Vik it's no big deal, they're just a buncha knuckle-fucks"

• Lickupon

"Confirmation of your worse fears

Ever since his first years had a thirst for beers"

"V bring the beef like a trucka' to Fuddruckers"

"Die calmer than a suicide bomber"

• The Drop

"'Remember me God? clean Timbs with emery board'

he only came to save the game like a memory card

ooh shrewd, a lot of crews is too rude

and it's way too many 'let's not and say we do'-dudes

he said 24-7 I be on call

he use his vacation days to watch Babylon 4"

"Cochise, write a rhyme like a book report

And sell it to a rookie you could tell by the hook he bought

You ain't know he sell hooks and choruses?

They couldn't bang slang if they looked in thesauruses"

• Lactose and Lecithin

"But back at the lab he found the sleestack was right

Not only was it three cracks light but too white

The test show lactose, ambisol, lecithin

Five types of aspirin and other kinds of medicines"

• A Dead Mouse

"That's for him to know, for they to never find out

About the kidnap, blind fold, and the blind mouse

The coroner report say he simply signed out, oh and I know

Y'all wanna see a wine-o? bring the wine out

Cat wit a dead mouse is how he catch the phrase in paws, plays wit it

Kill it, and eat off it for days, kid it"

• Raedawn

"Listen up, new drink, named it after Chong's daughter

triple shot of 'gac, with the chaser of bong water

V a strong supporter

come on, bring the slaughter"

• Saliva

"Great balls of fire, guess who just crawled out the muck and mire

That could make you trust a motherfuckin' liar

A real shuck n' jiver, Vaughn never been a duck n diver

He spit on the mic, yuck, saliva

Hold it like a drunk driver hold a CB on a sharp turn

Still clutchin' his chest from the heartburn

What's your handle? I need a Zantac, ock

and thanks before I blank into anaphylactic shock"

• Modern Day Mugging

"Stick 'em up chump, you know what this is

do the right thing you might live to see your kids

all he said was 'c'mon don't shoot!'

so shook I think he shit his sean john suit

'why you starin?' run your chain like an errand

and your girls earrings, and what you wearin'

survival tactics for when things get too gritty

he feels it's his duty to the people of the city

just so long as nobody get hurt

it keep your average civilian on point and alert"

"'OK miss, come up off that bracelet

just got your hair did don't make me waste it'

so, go to hades get the devil for his stash

but no old ladies unless you're sure they carry mad cash

like the one from the liquor store

he watched her for weeks now, ready for the quick score

before he told her whore get on the floor

she pulled out and let off like quick draw mcgraw

damn yo, he lucky, she barely nicked the camo

he would've let her have it, if he had the ammo

it's all in good fun, true, moral of the story, son duke:

senior citizens'll bust their guns too"

• Mr. Clean

"(How far?) The distance was light-speed

He went to see a buddy who said he had some white weed

In case it might need, it didn't mean much

For in his lean clutch was the elusive green Dutch"

• Change the Beat

"One day, he plan to put in a runway

With enough land for his own projects and gun play

Section 8 penthouse, maid look like Faye Dunaway

Alotta y'all assed out like gay runaways"

"Great googly moogly, see that loogie?

Yeah, but keep it on the D.L. Hughley

You don't watch her, he might Houser like Doogie

Just to cut her loosie like *swoosh* Mitsurugi

Gooey gum drops, who he got his style from?"

His pops, you gotta give the bum some props

Ask ya sister, her beat box is more thicker

DOOM, that nigga detox with malt liquor

"Villain for hire, admire the sound

Make sure The Price Is Right before he come on down!"

Rappers be on some 'you. you. you.'

Forgot who they talkin' to, too much pork stew."

"They need to not come out wit nothin' new

blew the whole shit up on some 'What this button do?'"

"The way alotta clowns get down is unnatural

This flows flipped like 'oranges, apples'

Rhymes like limes to a Lemonade Snapple

Leave her at the chapel, don't eat Scrapple"

Venomous Villain (Viktor Vaughn)

• R.A.P. G.A.M.E.

Can't stand the beat, there's no sense bitchin'

Can't stand the heat, go get from out the kitchen

Ran through the street and leave a whole set twitchin'

Skip the stitchin', complements of the henchmen...

He rocked it, the flow got her dizzy

He keep a few knockers cocked and loaded for grizzly

It's no big deal, niggaz say they real

But ain't got no heart to bust shots at a pig mobile

Dunces, got the game all mucked up

Must be nuts kids, fuck up and get fucked up

Beat the heck out a rapper for street wreck

And laugh, playin' with a half a full cheat deck

Pull your burn it to earn you some respect son

And beat the next hun', to get a C-section

With no epidural screamin' I heard ya'll

Cats is talkin' coughin' up info like a furball

Do ya bid, don't be scared...

The wrong three words on the tier, will get'cha eared...

Everywhere blood smeared, ya should of been prepared...

Layin' there balled up lookin' all weird...

Villain, hold the heater on a cold day

And keep a old throw-away for a old fay

No way get bagged on no day

Doom'll change his name to Jose' Yo No Se"

Dope Skill

Vik, known to pull a no joke vocal

when given the chance yoke ya slow poke local yokel"

Madvillainy (Madvillain)

• Meat Grinder

"Tripping off the beat kinda, dripping off the meat grinder

Heat niner, pimping, stripping, soft street minor

China was a neat signer, trouble with the script digits

Double dip/bubble lips, sorrow less midget

Borderline schizo, sort of fine tits though

Pour the wine, whore to grind, quarter to nine, let's go"

"Doom's songs lit, in the booth, with the best host

Doing bong hits, on the roof, in the west coast"

• Figaro

"Do not stand still, boast yo' skills

Close but no crills, toast for po' ills, post no bills

Coast to coast Joe Shmoes flows ill, go chill

Not supposed to overdose, no 'doz pills"

• Curls

"Villain get the money like curls

They just trying to get a nut like squirrels in his mad world

Land of milk and honey with the swirls

Where reckless naked girls get necklaces of pearls"

"Hands so fast he can out-spin the Flash

Known to smoke a whole mountain of hash to the ash

Boom-bash leave the room with the stash

Assume it's in a smash, Doom get the cash "

• Accordion

"It's like they know what's 'bout to happen

Just keep ya eye out, like 'aye, aye captain'

Is he still a fly guy clappin' if nobody ain't hear it

And can they testify from inner spirit

In living, the true gods

Givin' y'all nothing but the lick like two broads

Got more lyrics than the church got 'Ooh Lords'

And he hold the mic and your attention like two swords, (either that)

Or even one with two blades on it

Hey you, don't touch the mic like it's AIDS on it

It's like the end to the means

Fucked type of message that sends to the fiends

That's why he brings his own needles

And get more cheese than Doritos, Cheetos or Fritos..

Slip like Freudian

Your first and last step to playin' yourself like accordion"

"When he had the mic you don't go next

Leaving pussy cats like wild hoes need Kotex

Exercise index won't need Boflex

And won't take the one with no skinny legs like Joe Tex"

• Great Day

Groovy dude, not to prove to be rude

But this stuff is like what you might put on movie food

Uh, what is jalapenas

Get it like a whuppin' when you holla at your seniors

MM..Food

• Vomitspit

"The mask is like Jason

They told the place not to let the basket type case in

He could be some kind of wacko

Waiting for the chance to heat the pipes like a crack hoe"

• All Outta Ale

"One for the money, two for the betta green,

3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine"

• Beef Rapp

"Beef rap could lead to gettin' teeth capped

Or even a wreath for mom dukes on some grief crap

I suggest ya change ya diet

It can lead to high blood pressure if ya fry it

Or even a stoke, heart attack, heart disease

It ain't startin' back once arteries start to squeeze

Take the easy way out, phony--until then,

They know they wouldn't be talkin that baloney in the bullpen"

"He wears a mask just to cover the raw flesh

A rather ugly brother with flows that's gorgeous

Drop-dead joints hit the whips like birdshit

They need it like a hole in the dead or a third tit

Her bra smell. His cards say 'Ah Hell'

Barred from all bars and kicked out the Carvel

Keep a cooker where the jar fell

And keep a cheap hooker that's off the hook like Ma Bell"

"A rhymin' cannibal, who's dressed to kill, I'm cynical

Whether is it animal, vegetable, or mineral

It's a miracle how he get so lyrical

And proceed to move the crowd like an old Negro spiritual"

• "What up?

To all rappers shut up, with ya shuttin up

And keep your shirt on, at least it buttoned up

Yuck. Is they rhymers or strippin' males?

Outta work jerks since they shut down Chippendales

They chippin' nails. DOOM, tippin' scales

Let alone the preorders that's counted off shippin' sales

This goes out to all my people skippin bail

Dippin' jail, whippin' tail, and sippin' ale

Light the doobie 'till it glow like a ruby

After which they couldn't find the Villain like Scooby

He's in the lab on some old Buddha Monk shit

Overproof drunk shit. But whod'a thunkit?

Punk, try and ask why ours be better

Could be the iron mask or the Cosby sweater...

Yes, you, who's screwed by the dude on the CD, nude

(We need food)"

• Kon Queso

Oh shoot!, The goose is loose!

So wild you couldn't chase it down with straight fruit juice

Frown like the first time you taste cous cous

Stash the deuce deuce, troops asking truce truce

The Mouse and the Mask (DangerDoom)

• El Chupa Nibre

"What we have here is a failure to communicate

If you gonna hate, might at least get your rumors straight

about Doom the Great, a lot more confident

Came a long way since the days we had to rhyme for rent

It was time well spent, vented

Spelt and dented, hell-bented and heaven-scented"

• Bada Bing

"Looked like Apollo Creed after he fought with Rocky

Rhymed in a broken english slang, not cockney

Thirteen, his first queen wore hot knock knees

Had to tell her pops, yo stop cockblockin B"

BORN LIKE THIS

• That's That

"Already woke, spared a joke, barely spoke, rarely smoke

Stared at folks when properly provoked, mirror broke

Here, share strawberry morinin, gone an more important spawnin

Torn in, poor men sworn in

Cornish hens switchin positions, auditionin' mortitions

saw it in a vision, ignorin prison

Ignoramuses enlist and sound dumb

Found em drowned in cows dung, crowns flung

Rings a tinkerbell, sing for things that's frail as a fingernail

Bring a scale, stale ginger lingers

Seven figures invigor

Nigga, fresh from out the jail, alpha male

Sickest ninja injury this century, enter plea

Lend sympathy to limper simple simon rhymin emcees

Trees is free, please leave a key

These meager fleas, he's the breeze

And she's the bees knees for sheez

G's of G's

Seize property, shopper sprees, chop the cheese

Drop the grease to stop diseases, gee wiz pa!

DOOM rock grandma like the kumbaya!

Mama was a ho hoppa, papa was a rollingstone

Star like Obama, pull a card like oh drama!

Civil liberties

These little titties abilities riddle me, middle C

Give a MC a rectal hysterectomy

Electron removal of the bowls, foul technically

Don't expect to see the recipe

Until we receive the check as well as the collection fee

More wreck than section Z

What you expect to get for free?

Shit from me, history

The key, plucked it off the mayor

Chucked it in the ol tar pit off La Brea, playa

They say he's gone too far

DOOM'll catch em after Jumar on cue lacka!!

Do what'cha gotta do, grarrrr

The rumors are not true, got two ma

No prob, got the job, hot barred heart throb

Scotch Guard the bar the with cotton swabs, dart lob

Bake a cake, sweet

Jamaica trade in treats on the beach

Make a skeet til her feets meet"
