Please, read from sheets
I am
I am
Sofa king
Sofa king

Scared of a bunch of water, then get out the rain
Order a rapper for lunch and spit out the chain
Then kick a lungee of the tip of his timbo
And trick a honey dip into a game of of strip limbo
Odd, He couldn't find no remorse
A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse
Of course his technique was from a divine source
Never knew the price of ice or what swine cost
One guy tried to bite the heat
That's when he discovered the other other white meat
Oh, the one they hate so well
He sure keeps it psycho like the old bates motel
They came to ask him for a least some new tracks
But only got confronted by the beast with two backs
Knock, Mouse is a made man
Villain laid it down like the best laid plan
Velvet the cat who the hell is that near the middle
Got y'all but it's not all bare and Skittles
Prepare the viddles, got riddles and spittles
Crystal clear to the jock or the tittle
It's hot off the griddle
Came to take the cake whether it's a lot or a little
Kaboom, Doom is nervous large
You could tell by his Blooming room service charge
Dark and tall to boot
The only thing was wrong was he was bald as a coot
Used to rent a van from Peter Pan to red and tan
And keep the human foot for his dead man's hand
This was when the mask was brand spanking new
Before it got rusted from drinking all the brew
Stankin' too, pew
Kept all his earnings in the bank and his shoe
Spat what he knew, energy for true
To all fake rappers, twenty-three skidoo
Excuse you, any room in the class front?
For a blast of the blunt, shrooming since last month
Doom a human in the mask I'm on the stunt
Danger zooming past mad fast on the hunt
Keep the streets, we got the city needing conquered
Discreetly with the city till they be completely bonkered
The fans demanded it, handled it, swallow it
His own brandishing, if only he could bottle it
Hmm, nah she could get messy
Feds tried to torture him for the secret recipe
He said, It's no use, I only know half
No speake de english, I only do the math
Zzzzz, felt no pain
His brain was saturated with cocaine and Rogaine
He said, Try scan no thing three-card dead fly man
Go for bling he got bled
I jam over sting, see spots red
I am "Sofa King, We Todd Ed"

We, Todd, Ed
Now repeat all, very fast, please
I am, Sofa King-
Faster
I am Sofa King We Todd Ed
No no, not so fast, loses meaning




I am so fucking retarded
Haha, you say, funny thing

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Sofa King' can be described as a witty and clever play on words that highlights the sheer brilliance of DANGERDOOM's lyrical abilities. The opening line "Scared of a bunch of water, then get out the rain” is a metaphorical reference that calls out people who fear the unknown or what is different, stating that they should not be afraid or held back by their lack of understanding. Another standout line in the song "Kick a lungee off the tip of his timbo, And trick a honey dip into a game of strip-limbo” adds humor to the songs' unique and unforgettable lyrics, showcasing DANGERDOOM's ability to create playful and entertaining verses.


The song is quite metaphorical and clever in its punchlines with the similes rich with wordplay. The line "Never knew the price of ice or what swine cost, One guy tried to bite the heat, That's when he discovered the other other white meat" delves into comparisons between white meat and the hip-hop industry, with one being swine, which signifies corrupted and polluted. Meanwhile, the other white meat is the identity of the rapper - himself - who the industry is trying to consume, bite by bite, but instead is forced to succumb.

Scared of a bunch of water? Then get out the rain

A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse
Of course his technique was from a divine source
Never knew the price of ice or what swine cost

That's when he discovered the other other white meat
Ohh! The one they hate so well
He sure keeps it psycho like the old Bates Motel
They came to ask him for at least some new tracks
But only got confronted by the beast with two backs
Knock, Mouse is a made man
Villain laid it down like the best laid plan
Belle the Cat, who the hell is that near the middle?
Got y'all but it's not all beer and Skittles
Prepare the vittles, got riddles and spittles
Crystal clear to the jot, or the tittle
Sssst! It's hot off the griddle
Came to take the cake whether it's a lot, or a little
Kaboom; DOOM is nervous large
You could tell by his blooming room service charge
Dark and tall to boot
The only thing was wrong was he was bald as a coot
Used to rent a van from Peter Pan, the red and tan
And keep the human foot for his dead man's hand
This was when the mask was brand spanking new
Before it got rusted, from dranking all the brew
Stanking too, pew
Kept all his earnings in the bank and his shoe
Spat what he knew, energy for true
To all fake rappers, twenty-three skidoo
Excuse you, any room in the class front?
For a blast of the blunt, shrooming since last month
Doom a human in the Mask, born to stunt
Danger zooming past mad fast on the hunt
Keep your streets, we got the city neatly conquered
Discretely with the CD till they be completely bonkered
The fans demanded it, handled it, swallow it
His own brand of shit, if only he could bottle it
Hmm, nah, shit could get messy
The feds tried to torture him for the secret recipe
He said it's no use, I only know half
No speaka de english, I only do the math
BZZT! Felt no pain
His brain was saturated with cocaine and Rogaine
He said, "Try scan, no thing, three-card dead
Fly man go for bling, he got bled
I jam over sting, see spots red
I am 'Sofa King, We Todd Ed'"
