Kurious MF DOOM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He cleans his metal mask with gasoline, they after him
Last seen pulling chicks like a fiend pull a fast one
Can't put shit past him
Got niggas on his own team mad enough to blast him
Retarded in real life, on the mic Rain Man
Stand close to his main man like a chain gang
Who give a fuck about who or they fancy crew
That's no mystery that Hardy Boys do with Nancy Drew
Sorta with her drawers down quarter
The extorter bring slaughter like "Well I oughta"
I suggest you hand over the formula doula
A villain in your land, in his land a ruler
Hard hitting like puffing a woola with Lieutenant Uhura
Every day feel like it's an off day with Ferris Bueller
Brother pull heat to prove they not sweet
No matter how you spell it, we still got beats

Don't question how we live, question what we give
Take it to the next leave 'em where they can't see me
Still they judge, but they be butt ass
Twist that wig like a muppet, keep it simple, can't truss it
Light's the fuel, mic is the tool
Drink Jack, kick back, drop jewel, finish what I start
Mastered the art, living hell can't explain it
Inhale confuse it more, cop the .44
Contemplate, meditate, dictate
I direct my direct fate, coming of late
Kurious, can I say shit
Do it for CottleRock, do it for K.Nit
(RIP)
K-N-I-T, Sub R-O-C
(Eternally for M-I-C)
Only we save we

By candlelight my hand will write these rhymes 'til I'm burnt out
Mostly from experience, shit that I learned about
Topics and views, generally concerned about
With different ways to come up and earn clout
I take a look at my life and pace the trails
From Tablik and savage females with fake nails to face veils
You out your frame but still bagging 'em too
You know I know, these hoes be asking me if I'm you
Like my twin brother, we did everything together
From hundred raka'at salats to copping butter leathers
Remember when you went and got the dark blue Ballys
I had all the different color Cazals and Gazelles
The "SUBROC" three-finger ring with the ruby in the "O", ock
Truly the illest dynamic duo on the whole block




I keep a flick of you with the machete sword in your hand
Everything is going according to plan man

MF DOOM
Persistence always overcomes resistance
Is the words of Mr. Magic
Not to be confused with the magican, hat tricks
Out the bag, look at what the cat done drug in cousin
If you don't know, you buggin
There's about to be muggin
My brova Jorge is here
Swords is clear as I pour beer for years
More to share, Cheers
It's good to see you back boss
Game ain't changed since the Crack to Iraq wars
Villian, droolin still share his last snack bar
Feeding these chirrens with the knack off
The black tarts
Swervin' double lines bubble lines been through
Nerve to beat the odds when they against you with a pencil
It's all in the mental OOOOH saw what he said?
Metal Face DOOM open doors with his forehead
click Call it hands-free wireless
The burnout plan and the fans be tireless
Turns out there's no bluff
Pump you punks but kiss the DOOM Dunks like Sho'Nuff
The bottom, pond scum, swallow some
To the T-O-P
Left for Harlem, what the problem is? Fondel'em

Thankfully 👊🏻
This one found me last night funnily enough.

@Beardshire

I feel like DOOM didn't plan a lot of stuff, he was just in the circle of friends and other rappers and just jumped in wherever he wanted. I think even the albums he did was mostly just falling into place from him being at the right place, right time and being so fucking skilled it looks planed.
