Dead Bent
MF DOOM Lyrics

Goddamn it
An expression of anger or frustration

Super motherfucking villain goddamn it
Referring to himself as a villainous figure with great power

About to get these millions, stacks and shit
Anticipating the acquisition of a large sum of money

Yo, his dip tried to tell him
His companion attempted to warn him

Ooh, you're like the sun
Complimenting his positive impact on her life

Chasing all of the rain away
Positively influencing her mood and outlook

When you come around, you bring brighter days
Attributing her improved state of mind to his presence

She told him, "you're the perfect one"
Expressing her belief in their relationship

"For me and you forever will be" (microphone check one, two, one two, one, two)
Confirming their commitment to each other with a mic check

He told her, "I will rock this microphone, always"
Pledging his dedication to his craft, even in the context of their relationship

I hold the mic, like niggas hold their girls tight
Comparing his love for music to the way others cherish their romantic partners

But I ain't after her, probably your Acura pearl white
Rejecting the idea of pursuing someone else's girlfriend or car

The hooker? Nah, as many times as I done hit it
Denying involvement with a prostitute despite repeated encounters

To be specific more times than dimes in a briz-nick
Emphasizing that he has had sex with the same prostitute frequently

When you broke North, I crashed the barbecue like Riddick
Asserting his ability to turn up unexpectedly, like the character Riddick

At the Garden, true, that's the God in me, pardon you
Acknowledging his greatness with a reference to Madison Square Garden

Jeepers, I was tore back, the ho gained access to my beeper
Expressing surprise or shock at a prostitute discovering his personal information

Called back my secretary gatekeeper
Contacting his assistant to manage the situation

Like I ain't peep her, I said, "Darling you was stupid though
Acting as if he had not noticed the prostitute's actions, but chastising her

You know the Super Villain, (he is a super) ho"
Boasting about his own power and referring to the prostitute as a "super ho"

I had this style ever since I was a child
Asserting that his rap style has been consistent from childhood

I got this other style I ain't flip in a while, it goes
Implying that he has alternate styles that he has not used recently

Pure scientific intelligence, with one point of relevance
Describing his lyrical style as intelligent and impactful

Emcees whose styles need Velamints
Belittling other rappers whose style he finds unimpressive

And once the smoke clear, tell 'em it's
Branding himself as a superior artist

The Super motherfucking Villain, nigga came through raw like the elements
Affirming his villainous persona and lyrical prowess

On ninety-nine plus one of them
Referencing his high level of skill compared to other rappers

And with a flow to pull a fraud nigga file from out in front of him
Claiming that his flow is capable of exposing lesser rappers as frauds

When we with y'all, we had tons of fun
Describing the enjoyment he and his crew had with others

Me and my duns and them
Referring to his friends or associates

Actual true and living sons of them
Describing his crew as being true to their origins or ancestry

Dead planets and God-U's
Referencing science fiction or fantasy concepts

Throwing divine rules to come through, we will over charge you's
Boasting that his crew will dominate others and charge a high price for their services

Fool, and won't feel remorse for shit
Asserting a lack of compassion for others

Except for one time, once I had took my fronts out and lost them shits
Recalling a situation where he experienced a negative consequence

Scientific going berserk like Red Alert
Emphasizing his scientific or intellectual style and energy

I really went to pick up wiznork for cheddar dirt
Describing a task he accomplished, possibly illegal or unethical

To fund these experiments is where I went
Confirming that he financed his scientific pursuits in unconventional ways

Obviously dead bent, and spent every red cent
Admitting to being in dire financial straits due to his activities

To rule you, and still drop more jewels than schools do
Declaring his intention to control others and provide knowledge through his music

Or even TV news that's designed to fool you (who?)
Critiquing mainstream media and questioning its motives

Yeah you, who hear the most grimy suggestions
Addressing his audience directly

From brothers with fly names and I.D. questions
Referring to other rappers as having cool names and artsy identities

That's a Secret like Victoria teddy sets that's edible
Comparing the unknown identity of certain rappers to lingerie

Them's not ready yet for the incredible
Asserting that some rappers cannot handle his level of skill or power

Team of MC's who broke all fakes
Boasting about his team of rappers who have defeated impostors

Who thought they were slaughter proof
Refuting the idea that other rappers are invincible

Stomping through like North Face waterproof
Swaggering confidently and comparing himself to durable hiking gear

Tat-tat, that's the end of that
Casually dismissing something that has ended

After hit the bar where baby girl bartender at
Implying that he will visit a bar where an attractive female bartender works

I told her more wine, mingling with no single mentions of
Requesting more wine and attempting to socialize without being too forward

Stay tuned for more spine tingling adventures of
Teasing that more exciting events will follow
