More rhymin
MF DOOM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raw lining, Paul Simon touring, I'm in
Boring typing, snoring pipe when hyper than four hypemen
Excited writing, trifling times ten
Long stay, songs play, gone haywire, wrong way
On the interstate, integrate all day
It's just a small phase, that's what them all say
Then fall prey in a mini-mall hallway
Remember these intentionally, empathy please
Silent moment, violent prone atonement
Miles a minute on a microphone, own rent, loan spent
No debt, has bet, fast get, cash jet
Master McSmash, Asterix stashed it last
Not least, pass the pot of hot grease
Geese shot, not easily spotted plot, cease snot release
Hold your insulting tongue and mark his words well
Or end up to the curb and shocked by third rail
Get the message by bird mail or turds flail
Villain man, best nerd male you heard wail
An absurd tale of books, nooks and crannies
Before she look, he have his fancy hooks in them granny panties
Or plan B, when in Rome, go back home
And get real dome from a well-known crack gnome
He talk to himself when he need someone to hate on
The black McCain campaign, negative debate-a-thon
Gone wrong on the song
Who's zooming who? Knew it was you, DOOM, all along
Ever since he first started the art, it's been worth it
Soon to charter a stint on part of the Chitlin' Circuit
Word kid, get your ticket from the telepath
"Wicked, wicked, wicked" on electroencephalograph
Villain, nice to meet you
You born like this?
The lyrics to MF DOOM's song "More Rhymin" are packed with wordplay and clever metaphors that showcase the rapper's lyrical prowess. DOOM starts off by boasting about his rhymes being pure and valuable like a diamond and tearing through obstacles with his skill. He sarcastically mentions the idea of Paul Simon touring while he is stuck in a mundane activity like typing. Despite such boredom, DOOM's rhymes remain hyper and electrifying, as he references being more excited than four hypemen.
DOOM goes on to talk about the ups and downs of his career, acknowledging that there are times when things go haywire and he feels lost. However, he reassures himself that it's just a temporary phase, albeit one that traps him in the monotonous corridors of a mall. He emphasizes the importance of his music being experienced firsthand rather than being sold to friendly enemies. DOOM requests empathy and asks his listeners to pay attention to his intentionally crafted lyrics.
The next part of the song delves into DOOM's alter ego and his daring exploits. He talks about his ability to quickly think and rap on the microphone, renting and spending money without incurring debt. He refers to himself as "Master McSmash" and mentions hiding something called Asterix. DOOM's imagery takes an unexpected turn as he describes geese being shot and plots being concealed.
DOOM then shifts gears to discuss his relationship with women, referring to seducing older women through his charm and wit. He sarcastically mentions having a backup plan in case things don't go well. He criticizes politicians and their negative campaigning, comparing it to his own "black McCain campaign." Despite the chaos, DOOM finds solace in his art and the connection he creates with his audience.
