Dead On Arrival
Capital Steez [Prod. By MF Doom] Lyrics

Ay, yo, this chick tried to tell him
A girl tried to tell him

"Ooh, you're like the sun
She said he's like the sun

Chasing all of the pain away
He makes all of her pain go away

When you come around
When he's around

You bring brighter days"
He makes everything brighter

She told me
He was told by her

"You're the perfect one
She thinks he's perfect

Me and you, forever we'll be"
She wants to be with him forever

I told her
He responded

"I will rock this microphone always"
He will always rap

Niggas wanna trouble with the troublesome
People want to cause problems for him

So I went ahead and doubled up
He worked harder

Momma always said you better hustle if you wanted lunch
His mother taught him to work hard to get food

Ain't no such thing as runner up
There's no second place

From M-I-A to D-O-A it's no games but I know my C-D gon play
From Miami to being dead there's no playing around but he knows his music will still be listened to

And with everything I do it P-E all day
He represents Public Enemy all day

That's D-O-P-E so them fiends gon' pay, shit
His music is dope so people will buy it

Son is always outshining 'em
He always does better than others

The high from the squadron that was hidin than the lion's den
He's higher than the people who were hiding like in the lion's den

Sleepin, countin' all the sheep to start a riot but
People are sleeping while he's planning a riot

They ain't even know I had a shot like talent search
They didn't know he had a chance

You get the mental picture
Imagine it in your head

World cup flow, I can't kick it with ya
He has a good flow but can't hang out with everyone

Naw, I'm kidding with ya
He's just joking

Ask your little sister
Go ask your young sibling

J Steez on this grind like benefactors
He works hard like a benefactor

It's the Steyraz comin' through your 8-track
His music is coming through your 8-track

Play that, but keep it low key- a flat
Listen to it but keep it quiet

Lay flat when the war comes
Stay low during a war

A$AP Rocky, swing jazz, and gym class
References to different music genres

So PE be them supervillans
Public Enemy is like supervillains

Groupies flockin' at the concerts just to boost they image
People go to his shows to look cool

So you spent it on these stupid women
People waste their money on silly girls

Out buying whores shoes like true religion and superstition
People spend money on bad things

Niggas wanna picture me gone
People want to see him fail

Like when Biggie went to war with Mr. Shakur
Refers to a famous rapper feud

Lyrical spawn with a little twisted Jigga and Nas
His rap style is influenced by other artists

But I was born to deliver like umbilical cords
He was born to rap

Fuck what you heard, this is an eargasm
His music is great to listen to

Classic, feel-good rapping
His music is classic and makes you feel good

Magnum saliva like salvia I'm spittin' up spasms
He's rapping with intensity

Based God trippin' off acid
Refers to another rapper
