Rainmen
Deep Puddle Dynamics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll take seven emcees, put 'em in a line
Shoot 'em and sell their clothes to get my wisdom teeth pulled
From here on out I'm grabbing these rappers by their fates
And throwing their destinies out into that lake
And as the earth shakes, and as the snakes eat
I found my birth place on top of that break beat
The beat breaks while I drink a red stripe to get my head right
You fuckers got nerve, you're lost between mold and the mildew
If you spit that verse with bullets and tits I wouldn't feel you
This plan can't grow without the nurturing and nutrience
So on I carry between the aryans and nubians (come together)
Holding a head full of that Minnesota pork
And if I ever blow up, I wanna fuck Bjork (you know my stink)
Let it rain, let it rain, let the water run off of the brain
Let the drops hit my shoulders and leave permanent stains
Let one solo drip touch my heart and symbolize what it contains
Restrain these thoughts that stay locked in my dark side
Let the bumper hit the pavement, pull away and let the sparks fly
Let the children have reason to laugh
Instead of needing to craft ways and passages to see their last days
[Sole:]
As far as me and water animals are concerned are infantile
Past obliterating, great life on a scale, chorus boy
See if you died trying the diabetics
Bet if me and you had to breathe the same oxygen you'd choke
And foam comes out your headphones
And little men in black would scurry around and jump on dicks
Saying "Yo champ, keep the heads noddin'", I keep heads still
Steal moments from opponents lucky to find fabric in time
Between Nieche and Ice Cube
Fuck all of ya'll, never like any of ya'll in the first place
Punch face, dickhead, step on foot, burn bridge
Rape, pillage, take money
I saw your scribbles in the back of your last release, ha ha, funny
You bring your marbles, I'll bring mine
When our ego's and balls collide, you'll have some pre-written battle rhymes
But no, everything is cool, cold, icey, happy, glamorous
Let's all drink Zima and sing 'We Are The World'
I am the world, where I am a whirlpool where all these fools get killed
Kilogram to your ass, and you bitch made like a quilt
Yeah I can drop down and neander with neanderthals and jelly fish
The revolutionary evolutionist, let me be the tooth fairy
Cuz when it comes down to bitin', I make damn sure everyone gets royalties
And rock Parliment beats instead of Jel's tracks
Shit, if I ever gave a fuck, I gave it away a long time ago
Only time will tell, in due time until it's over
The pair of me see my parables, paragraphs and emcee favorite tongue
The world is my stage, and stage presence for everyone
[Chorus:]
Let it rain, let it rain
Let the gutter be the book you never wrote
Let the bottle be the drawbridge and moat
All this is soaked in the deep depths of Dynamics
All we ask is two ears and a planet
[Alias:]
Developed materialist presented for your listening pleasure
Quadruple phynetic spitters in two by ten measures
Profess my confession
I longed for this profession presently here
This art form ain't accessible
For those who want to hear us
Interlock hands through a sound and tape device through a filter
Constructing of percussion, rhythm sections, painstakingly built are
Infectious, totally overwhelming to soul and body
It's the Holy Ghost, making you physical structure appear quite shotty
Disassemblying, slow pick apart your sound taste
Deconstructing, jotted the four across the wall your forced to face
And conclude that your thirst is quenched by Deep Puddles
"Ay this shit is dope!", but our conversation to you is suttle
You gotta hit that R-E-W when the fading commences
Your index extensions of your hand constantly tenses
Approximately every five minutes you will repeat this motion
Over and over until your mind's convinced of this notion
"Dynamics, I understand, and I pledge alliegance
To your music for advanced listeners covering many regions
And as far as I'm concerned, this group is number one
And who knew that using my brain could be so much fun"
[Dose:]
Four, count them, one, two, three, seven, four
Pleasantly demented stock riders a few volts short of a paper airplane
Decided to sit ingrain, paint their faces and be leaves
Light green, turned upside down in the wind
Finally, someone to clap for, this toxic hermit grins
Especially men who look the globe over and back
Scratch, fizzlin' a balmy sky, it's time
If you live in the cosmos, milky way style
Say it like I mean it, to ease my hard head
And to where have you been my whole life, c'mon guys
Let's play the sap, shoot branch, off, shoot branch
But "hee hee hee" giggle the children
Who's shot? Hands folded, pencils sharpened
Waiting patiently for quality birdseed
And really cool camp counselors who know lots of big words
Once in a while it's fun to be smart
And play with matches on the dark side of theWhoa!
Cock bang, young drummer get wicked
Smaller rock, and the larger ones all but confused
So with the prostitutes or platypuses
And grandparents fond on me
I'm a hydrogen molecule and proud of it
Let it rain....
[CHORUS]
The song Rainmen by Deep Puddle Dynamics is a unique piece in the sense that it makes use of four different rappers, each bringing their own style and interpretation to the song. The lyrics are metaphorical and dense, and each rapper adds to the dense imagery presented. The opening verse by Slug talks about his frustration with other rappers and how he feels the need to take them down. He further states that he found his true place atop a breakbeat and ends the verse by emphasizing his love for the rain.
The verse by Sole talks about his disdain for other rappers and how he feels they lack the artistic creativity and intelligence required to make good music. He talks about his love for wordplay and uses clever metaphors to talk about himself and his music. The verse by Alias is poetic and abstract, talking about his love for creating music that appeals to intelligent listeners. He speaks about how his music can take over the consciousness of the listener and hold them captive. Finally, the verse by Dose is imaginative and abstract, talking about his love for the universe and how he sees himself as a hydrogen molecule.
The song is layered with dense imagery and lyrics that require multiple listens to fully appreciate. It speaks to the frustration of artists who feel like they are not being understood and appreciated for their work. The song also makes use of metaphors and analogies to convey deeper messages about life and art.
Line by Line Meaning
I'll take seven emcees, put 'em in a line
I will gather seven rappers and stand them in a row
Shoot 'em and sell their clothes to get my wisdom teeth pulled
I will kill them and use the money from selling their clothes to pay for my wisdom teeth extraction
From here on out I'm grabbing these rappers by their fates
From now on, I will take control of these rappers' destinies
And throwing their destinies out into that lake
I will discard their destinies into a lake
And as the earth shakes, and as the snakes eat
As chaos ensues and destruction happens
I found my birth place on top of that break beat
I have discovered my true purpose within the rhythm of the break beat music
The beat breaks while I drink a red stripe to get my head right
I enjoy the breaks in the music while consuming a red stripe beer to focus my mind
Maybe put some life into this dead mic
Perhaps I can bring energy back to this microphone that seems lifeless
You fuckers got nerve, you're lost between mold and the mildew
You have the audacity, but you are stuck in a state of decay and stagnation
If you spit that verse with bullets and tits I wouldn't feel you
Even if your lyrics were aggressive and sexual, they wouldn't resonate with me
This plan can't grow without the nurturing and nutrience
This project cannot progress without care and nourishment
So on I carry between the aryans and nubians (come together)
I continue my journey amidst diverse racial groups coming together
Holding a head full of that Minnesota pork
Carrying thoughts of Minnesota's culture and uniqueness
And if I ever blow up, I wanna fuck Bjork (you know my stink)
If I achieve success, I desire a sexual encounter with Bjork
Let it rain, let it rain, let the water run off of the brain
Allow the rain to wash away the thoughts and cleanse the mind
Let the drops hit my shoulders and leave permanent stains
Allow the raindrops to leave a lasting impact and mark on my life
Let one solo drip touch my heart and symbolize what it contains
Let a single drop of rain touch my heart and represent its true meaning
Restrain these thoughts that stay locked in my dark side
Control and suppress the thoughts that reside in my hidden, darker side
Let the bumper hit the pavement, pull away and let the sparks fly
Experience excitement and energy as the car drives away and sparks fly
Let the children have reason to laugh
Allow children to have joyful experiences
Instead of needing to craft ways and passages to see their last days
Instead of having to find means to survive until their final days
As far as me and water animals are concerned are infantile
In terms of my perspective on water animals, they are childish
Past obliterating, great life on a scale, chorus boy
Beyond destruction, there is a grand and balanced existence
See if you died trying the diabetics
Imagine if you perished while attempting to please those with diabetes
Bet if me and you had to breathe the same oxygen you'd choke
I believe if we shared the same air, you would struggle to breathe
And foam comes out your headphones
You would be so overwhelmed that foam would emerge from your headphones
And little men in black would scurry around and jump on dicks
Tiny men dressed in black would frantically move around and ridicule you
Saying 'Yo champ, keep the heads noddin'
They would mockingly encourage you to keep your fans entertained
I keep heads still
I have the ability to captivate and control the attention of listeners
Steal moments from opponents lucky to find fabric in time
I take away precious moments from opponents who struggle to find their own identity
Between Nieche and Ice Cube
Straddling between the philosophies of Nietzsche and the rawness of Ice Cube
Fuck all of ya'll, never like any of ya'll in the first place
I have no regard for any of you, as I never liked any of you to begin with
Punch face, dickhead, step on foot, burn bridge
Engaging in aggressive confrontations, disrespecting others, and severing relationships
Rape, pillage, take money
Engage in destructive and exploitative actions to gain wealth
I saw your scribbles in the back of your last release, ha ha, funny
I came across your insignificant writings in your previous album, which I find amusing
You bring your marbles, I'll bring mine
You can bring your best efforts, but I will bring mine as well
When our ego's and balls collide, you'll have some pre-written battle rhymes
When our arrogance and masculinity clash, you will resort to using pre-prepared battle lyrics
But no, everything is cool, cold, icey, happy, glamorous
But no, everything appears fine, but in reality, it is cold, icy, superficially happy, and fake glamorous
Let's all drink Zima and sing 'We Are The World'
Let's indulge in a cheap alcoholic beverage and sing a cheesy anthem
I am the world, where I am a whirlpool where all these fools get killed
I consider myself the epitome of the world, where I drown and destroy those who are foolish
Kilogram to your ass, and you bitch made like a quilt
I will physically harm you, and you are as weak as a patchwork quilt
Yeah I can drop down and neander with neanderthals and jelly fish
I can lower myself and interact with primitive beings and spineless individuals
The revolutionary evolutionist, let me be the tooth fairy
I am a revolutionary who promotes progress, so allow me to be the mythical tooth fairy
Cuz when it comes down to bitin', I make damn sure everyone gets royalties
When it comes to stealing ideas, I ensure that everyone receives their fair share of credit
And rock Parliment beats instead of Jel's tracks
I prefer and perform over Parliament beats rather than Jel's music
Shit, if I ever gave a fuck, I gave it away a long time ago
Honestly, I stopped caring a long time ago
Only time will tell, in due time until it's over
We can only wait and see what the future holds, until everything concludes
The pair of me see my parables, paragraphs and emcee favorite tongue
My duality allows me to appreciate and convey my poetic stories, paragraphs, and the tongues of other emcees
The world is my stage, and stage presence for everyone
The entire world serves as my platform, where everyone can showcase their presence and talent
Let the gutter be the book you never wrote
Allow the lower depths of society to serve as the book that you failed to create
Let the bottle be the drawbridge and moat
Let alcohol be the means of separating yourself from others and creating a barrier
All this is soaked in the deep depths of Dynamics
All of this is deeply embedded within the essence of Deep Puddle Dynamics
All we ask is two ears and a planet
All we request is an open mind and a place to exist
Developed materialist presented for your listening pleasure
We offer a refined and materialistic perspective for your enjoyment
Quadruple phynetic spitters in two by ten measures
Four emcees with intricate rhyming styles delivered in a structured format
Profess my confession
I openly declare my confession
I longed for this profession presently here
I have desired and yearned for this artistic career that I now have
This art form ain't accessible
This form of art is not easily understood or accessible
For those who want to hear us
For those who truly desire to listen to us
Interlock hands through a sound and tape device through a filter
We connect with our audience through the medium of sound and recordings
Constructing of percussion, rhythm sections, painstakingly built are
We meticulously create layers of beats and rhythms
Infectious, totally overwhelming to soul and body
Our music is captivating and completely engulfs the listener's soul and physical being
It's the Holy Ghost, making you physical structure appear quite shotty
Our music possesses a spiritual essence, exposing the flaws and fragility of your physical existence
Disassemblying, slow pick apart your sound taste
We dismantle and analyze your musical preferences
Deconstructing, jotted the four across the wall your forced to face
We break down and analyze the four members of the group, and you are forced to confront their individualities
And conclude that your thirst is quenched by Deep Puddles
And you realize that your desire for unique and thought-provoking music is satisfied by Deep Puddle Dynamics
"Ay this shit is dope!", but our conversation to you is subtle
You may think our music is amazing, but our true message is conveyed in a more nuanced manner
You gotta hit that R-E-W when the fading commences
You must rewind and replay our music when it starts to fade
Your index extensions of your hand constantly tenses
Your fingers instinctively prepare to rewind the music as it ends
Approximately every five minutes you will repeat this motion
You will engage in this motion of rewinding every five minutes or so
Over and over until your mind's convinced of this notion
Repeatedly doing this until you are convinced of the significance and impact of our music
"Dynamics, I understand, and I pledge allegiance
"Deep Puddle Dynamics, I comprehend and I declare my loyalty
To your music for advanced listeners covering many regions
To your music that caters to intellectual listeners from various locations
And as far as I'm concerned, this group is number one
In my opinion, this group is the best
And who knew that using my brain could be so much fun"
And it's surprising how enjoyable it can be to engage with music that stimulates my mind
Four, count them, one, two, three, seven, four
Count them, there are four members in Deep Puddle Dynamics
Pleasantly demented stock riders a few volts short of a paper airplane
We are slightly insane individuals who are unbalanced, like an incomplete paper airplane
Decided to sit ingrain, paint their faces and be leaves
We made the choice to remain rooted, painting our faces and blending in like leaves
Light green, turned upside down in the wind
Pale green in color, swaying upside down in the wind
Finally, someone to clap for, this toxic hermit grins
Finally, there are people who appreciate and applaud our work, and this reclusive person smiles with satisfaction
Especially men who look the globe over and back
Particularly, individuals who have explored and observed the entire world
Scratch, fizzlin' a balmy sky, it's time
Creating scratches on a warm and buzzing sky, indicating that it is time
If you live in the cosmos, milky way style
If you reside in the vastness of the cosmos, in the style of the Milky Way
Say it like I mean it, to ease my hard head
I express myself with sincerity to alleviate my stubbornness
And to where have you been my whole life, c'mon guys
And where have you been all my life? Come on, everyone
Let's play the sap, shoot branch, off, shoot branch
Let's act sentimental and cut off one branch, then another
But "hee hee hee" giggle the children
But the children giggle with amusement
Who's shot? Hands folded, pencils sharpened
Who is prepared? Hands folded and pencils sharpened
Waiting patiently for quality birdseed
Eagerly waiting for high-quality sustenance
And really cool camp counselors who know lots of big words
And counselors at the summer camp who are knowledgeable in using complex vocabulary
Once in a while it's fun to be smart
Occasionally, it is enjoyable to exhibit intelligence
And play with matches on the dark side of the
And engage in risky activities on the dark side of the
Cock bang, young drummer get wicked
The sound of a gun firing, stimulating the young drummer to become wild and energetic
Smaller rock, and the larger ones all but confused
Smaller rocks seem insignificant, while the larger ones are bewildered
So with the prostitutes or platypuses
Either with prostitutes or platypuses
And grandparents fond on me
And grandparents who are affectionate towards me
I'm a hydrogen molecule and proud of it
I am a hydrogen molecule and I take pride in my existence
Let it rain....
Allow the rain to fall...
