Operation: Greenbacks
MF DOOM Lyrics

Ay, look
Attention please

But you can't get there
Something is out of reach

M-O-N-E-Y (yeah, it's good just to be back)
Money is back and it's a good thing

Never did a thing for L-O-V-I-N (it's good to be seen back, greenbacks)
Love cannot be bought but having money is noticeable

(Greenbacks, greenbacks, green stacks)
Money, money, money

Never understand what people's heads are in (greenbacks, mean stacks)
Cannot comprehend why people are obsessed with money

(Mean stacks, greenbacks)
Having a lot of money

Ask me what I need
What do you need from me?

A fly tramp, that's what she called me
Being called a cool guy

'Cause I don't wear no Stetson hats like Paul C
Not conforming to a standard

As y'all see, who give a fuck? Who know what is it?
Doesn't matter what people think or say

These styles will be flipped to the absolute exquisite
Music styles will be reworked to perfection

It's like a blizzard, soon as I got home from ATL
As soon as I returned from Atlanta, it was a rush

Looked into my baby's face, my boo was like, "Well
Looking at my significant other

I know your types of clientele, thoughts, needs
I understand your customers, thoughts, and needs

As I held her firmly, yet gentle as the soft sea
Holding her securely but gently

She said, "The one with the horse weave? The pretty one?
Asking which woman he prefers

All crazy, had to touch the tattoo through the short sleeve
Describing one of the women he has been with

Which one you want?" I'm like, "If there was comp?
Asked which woman he prefers and responded he would take all of them if there was competition

Fuck around, a nigga like me probably run up in all three"
He means he would have sex with them all if he had that opportunity

King Geedorah what they call me, either caesar or baldy
Referring to himself as King Geedorah

Probably have moved since last y'all saw me
Most likely has relocated since he was last seen

On the D-low, I slaughter solo emcees, they paper-thin
He figuratively destroys his enemies alone even though they are hard to beat

In they Polo, Nautica, or DK men
Referring to competitors who wear clothes made by popular brands

Amen, It's funny how significance make a difference
Important things really make a difference

Notice parables of three in every other inference
Noticing patterns recurring in the music

For instance, "Who wanna battle? On the real?
Describing a competition that's real

Choose your weapon, microphone, beats, or the wheels-of-steel"
Choose what weapon you will use in the competition

I own a crown in all three for getting down without a doubt
He is confident in his skills and talents

I'd like to give a extra special out to Jet Jaguar, the sun, moon and star
Giving a shout out to some people

The Monster Island Czars, y'all know who you are
Referring to his squad

Get that
One more shout out

M-O-N-E-Y
Money

Never did a thing for L-O-V-I-N
Money cannot buy love

Coming straight from the black lungs
Referring to where he comes from

I rip tracks for all players that pack guns
Targeting those who wield firearms

Stack ones in packs, done and doing back-to-back runs
Making a lot of money and continuously working

To my peeps that close, so's ya' knows what's up
Addressing those who are close to him

Y'all know the dough's quick, hoes that mess with 5-O shrimp like, "What?"
Everyone knows that money comes and goes quickly

Like they wanna shmoosh us, just to packing the pushers
Describing a situation where women want to be with them because they have money

I'm packing gat then bust a cap at po-po
He is ready and willing to shoot at the police

If they catch us and try to push us
What will be done if caught by the police

Since when a MINY nigga don't be taking no shit?
They will not take any abuse from anyone

I be that drug-dealing nigga that be fucking ya' bitch
He sells drugs and has sex with women who aren't his girlfriend

What a fella, like Salt, Pepa, Spinderella
Referring to Salt-n-Pepa

I came to spark the deaf, dumb and blind like Helen Keller
He came to inspire people to take action

If I'm not with George of the Jungle, if he not with Stella
If he is not with his girlfriend, he is with someone else

Or either Priscilla, I'm doing dips on Godzilla
Doing other things while Godzilla is not present

Though y'all know he don't play, right?
Godzilla is someone who shouldn't be messed with

Tnt throws a nigga out a moving van in broad daylight
Dangerous situations that he's been in

And he was shackled by hands and feet
He was tied up by his captors

Then they say he tried to escape, once his face scraped the concrete
Trying to escape his captors

Near the curb on Monster Island, 103 Street
In a dangerous location

Where brothers run the risk of getting swallowed once the Beast eat
In a dangerous area where there are dangerous creatures

I'd rather lay in the cut, collect cash pay
He would rather wait it out and get paid

Only TNT I see is Gilligan's castaway
Not being exposed to certain things

With Mary Jane and Ginger
In a place with only fictional characters

Oh, from which you spent the night by accident, I creep like a ninja
Sneaking around like a ninja

When the mack is bent, who can give one fuck?
When one is high, they don't care

Get bucked, get broke up like three-piece nun-chucks
Describing a fight

Y'all sun struck, sick to they head-piece
People are crazy

Three-headed beast brings the drama to a dead cease
Overcoming a big obstacle

(Get that money, God)
More money

Greenbacks the meanest green stacks
Money is stacks of greenbacks

M-O-N-E-Y (we have stationed King Geedorah at the western hemisphere)
Money

Never did a thing
Money cannot do everything

Ask me what I need, I need your
Asking for something

M-O-N-E-Y
Money

(These monsters can destroy you and together conquer the entire earth)
Referencing threats
