"what rhymes with shmillain, Villain"
"he's a villain, yes he is...
Verse1: Set it off adrenaline rush, the boys way beyond a pen of the dutch.
Stronger then hen a bag of the dust. You need to watch how they actin wit us.
Now time to get it in gear, get it in right here. Revenge is better than beer, yo doom its been a minute think they gettin it clear.
When brothers reunite, Make sure we party right, we rock it all night long even beyond the morning light.
Its hard to see him in the light, even harder to see him on the mic, a black benz beats bein on a bike, and he can talk a gay chick outa being a dike.
(Doom): Keep it on click fully auto, wont stop the rock until pockets thick and gordo.
more so a risk of sounding poor, bro, No tux licks and stole em tickets to the award show...
Normally cordial, more or less, less is more or no.
Hoookkk. Hock spit out the cockpit, stuck to the window till its solid as a rock hit.
"Yes he iiiisss"
Verse3: He grabbed the mic like 2 money bags, waiting for the getaway to count what he had. Thought he was a spaz, but dude kept wreckin, the crowd remote control, keep em all guessin. Funny man gave em nuttin like a bummy dad tought him how to fight wit a mic and the hottest stab. But thats the life of a villain, and you know after that its chillin. Went places got Gracie no follow and aint got no cola in the coke bottle.writin rhymes till the pen go hollow and been flow hotter than the hot suns of Marrow. And get the villain and scream, if its not real life its still in yo dreams. Like that yall and like that yall, like that a like that and like that yall.
"What rhymes with thrillin, villain."
"What rhymes with stealin, villain."
"He's a villain, yes he is."
Verse4: Pushin on the couch cushion, south side minneap neva lived out in brooklyn.
Kept the faith forget the fame, if they sweat the name let it set the lane.
Held mind cold and hard, had no regard who the chosen are. Who, you? Oh no, you played the Oboe, keep it on the low low.
Rappers are candy butterscotch, imma let their baby mothers watch, She loves the ock i touch the spot, bitch I'm the itsh that must be a god up her crotch. Now stop leave the buildins, and leave some pills for these little villains. Here shorty, share the flask, let me explain why i wear this mask.
In the song "Supervillainz," MF Doom, Kurious Slug and Mobonix glorify the villainous lifestyle. The song begins with the repetitive question, "What rhymes with shillin, villain?" It seems like the artists are mocking the commercial aspect of the music industry where the focus is on profiting from album sales, concerts and merchandise. They are pointing out that it is difficult to make money without compromising artistic integrity.
The first verse emphasizes the adrenaline rush that the artists experience when they perform. They are stronger than a bag of dust, which is probably cocaine. And they are warning people to be careful around them. The second verse is MF Doom's verse, wherein he talks about how he will continue to make music until he is wealthy. He refers to himself as a villain, and he does not care about winning awards or being cordial. He is focused on making money no matter the cost. The third verse talks about the life of a rapper who is a villain. He is always on the move, traveling to different places and partying. He is writing rhymes and making music, and he is hotter than the hot suns of Marrow. The fourth and final verse is about how the artists are living the life of a villain. They are pushing on couch cushions and drinking from flasks. They do not care about fame or the opinions of others. The artists claim that they are "the itsh that must be a god up her crotch" which means they are beyond reproach.
