Dope D.O.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ey yo wassap J.D. nigga what's crackin'
What u doin, what's goin on, what's happenin'
See now-a-days I be pimpin n' macin n' sellin crack n
Niggaa u still rappin'?

What up is I hang with the hardest motherfuckers
I got rhymes by the buckets make you niggas wanna suck it
But you loveless, I'm the epitome of god-gifted
When I busted my first rap the whole planet shifted
Lifted you mind to the next stress hemisphere
The next level shift so you best to just step in here
Check my gear, I got flavour mad hip hop
I could run in the roughest neighbourhood and not get shot
I black out when niggas start hating shit
Run over your crew like the New England Patriots
The craziest but I'm also the laziest
Never turn on the TV so I don't know who Jay-Z is
What happened to rap in the 2-0 era?
Where nigga getting worse and I'm only getting better
Niggas too old, J young and fresher
I put them under pressure, professor test ya

What happened? Dope D.O.D. became the illest
What happened? Phony MCs is getting finished
What happened? You face defeat and we the winners
Wicked with the lyrics in a minute you're diminished

I hear people say back in the day he wasn't like this
He's stuck in the cycle of drug, sex, and violence
The nicest reflects on your iris
Gingivitis erupts through the gums of plenty of biters
I'm the Excalibur weaponry wielder
Do you dare to step into the deadliest field of
Hardcore hip hop, we laugh at your idols
Fuck your advice, I walk the path of the psychos
I kill MCs regardless of which rhyme I drop
On top of the corpses we climb to the top
So who's next to flop cause he thought he was heavy?
The last one retired when I tore through his belly
The cyborgs are ready to reboot the system
People go missing and that seemed to have vanished
They ask me what happened? Why do I act funny?
I stay braindead like I got bitten by a rat monkey

Every day I hear the same fucking BS
The same old song, you just don't progress
You won't confess, that you all fame obsessed
I seen it all and I'm far from impressed
I get a lot of criticism, you can be my guest
This hip hop shit just got repossessed
Peeps don't wanna see us have any success
It's time for these rookies to go hit the benchpress
You're not the guy I used to know, it's all about the rate of flows
Even got a Golden Globe, what a way to go
This prick didn't even greet me at the show
Thinks he makes art like he's Vincent Van Gogh
But no, I turn from amateur to pro
I put in work daily, you just don't know
Just don't know
You just don't know

What happened? Dope D.O.D. became the illest
What happened? Phony MCs is getting finished
What happened? You face defeat and we the winners
Wicked with the lyrics in a minute you're diminished

What happened? Dope D.O.D. became the illest
What happened? Phony MCs is getting finished
What happened? You face defeat and we the winners
Wicked with the lyrics in a minute you're diminished

Polish Lyrics :

[1 zwrotka] Jay Reaper
Jak się macie? Trzymam się z najtwardszymi skurwielami
Mam wiadra rymów, sprawiam, że cz****chy chcieliby je spijać
Nie zaznałeś miłości,a ja jestem przykładem człowieka obdarzonego przez Boga
Gdy wydałem swój pierwszy kawałek, wywróciłem cały świat do góry nogami
Wyniosłem twój umysł do drugiej, najlepszej półkuli
Nadeszła pora na wyższy poziom, więc lepiej podejdź
Sprawdź jaki mam sprzęt, mam swój styl, wściekły hip-hop
Mógłbym przebiec przez najniebezpieczniejszą dzielnicę i nie dostać kulki
Zaczynam mieć kaca, jak cz****chy zaczynają nienawidzić to gówno
Przebiegamy po waszej drużynie jak New England Patriots
Jestem najbardziej szalony, ale i najbardziej leniwy
Nigdy nie oglądam TV więc nie wiem kim jest Jay-Z
Co się stało z rapem w latach 2000?
Cz****chy zaczęli się staczać, a ja ciągle jestem lepszy
Cz****chy są zbyt stare, J dalej młody i świeży
Wywieram na nich presję, profesor robi sprawdzian

[Refren]
Co się stało? Dope D.O.D. stało się najbardziej pojebane
Co się stało? Fałszywi MC są skończeni
Co się stało? Stawiłeś czoła porażce, a my wygraliśmy
Nikczemni w tekstach, w minutę z wami skończymy

[2 zwrotka] Skits Vicious
Słyszę jak ludzie mówią: "Kiedyś taki nie był"
Utknął w cyklu narkotyków, seksu i przemocy
Dionizos odbija mu się w tęczówce
Ci, którzy podgryzają mój styl mają zapalenie dziąseł
To ja dzierżę Excalibur
Odważysz się wstąpić w najbardziej śmiercionośne pole
(Hardcore hip hopu?) Wyśmiewamy waszych idoli
Jebać wasze rady, kroczę drogą psychopatów
Zabijam MC's niezależnie od nawiniętej linijki
Wspinamy się na sam szczyt zwłok po trupach

To który następny chce do nich dołączyć, bo myślał, że jest twardy?
Ostatni odszedł na emeryturę, gdy rozdarłem mu brzuch
Cyborgi są gotowe do restartu systemu
Ludzie znikają i nikt nic o tym nie wie
Pytają mnie "Co się stało?" Czemu udaję zabawnego?
Dalej mam martwicę mózgu jakby ugryzła mnie szczuromałpa

[3 zwrotka] Dopey Rotten
Każdego dnia słyszę to samo pierdolenie
Ten sam stary kawałek, nie robisz żadnych postępów
Nie spowiadasz się z tego, że masz obsesję na punkcie sławy
Już gdzieś to wszystko widziałem i dużo ci brakuje, by mi zaimponować
Dostaję wiele krytyki, śmiało, możesz być następny
Hip hop został przejęty
Ludzie nie chcą widzieć jak osiągamy sukces
Czas, by żółtodzioby zajęli się wyciskaniem na ławce
Nie jesteś gościem, którego kiedyś znałem
Tu chodzi o flow
Dostałem nawet Golden Globe, musiałem przebyć taką drogę!
Ten fiut nawet nie pogratulował mi na występie
Myśli, że tworzy dzieła, jakby był Vincentem Van Gogh
Ale nie, z amatora stałem się zawodowcem
Wkładam w to codziennie pracę, o czym ty po prostu nie wiesz
Po prostu nie wiesz, po prostu nie wiesz...

[Refren]
Co się stało? Dope D.O.D. stało się najbardziej pojebane
Co się stało? Fałszywi MC są skończeni
Co się stało? Stawiłeś czoła porażce, a my wygraliśmy
Nikczemni w tekstach, w minutę z wami skończymy
