Tick Tick
MF Doom (feat. MF Grimm) Lyrics

Walk the path of Jesus, witness if Hell freezes
Challenge the impossible, face the unknown

The mind teases reality, crack the pieces
The mind challenges what we perceive as reality, breaking it down into pieces

Nothing eases, being chastise with blood baptize
Pain and suffering don't provide any relief, even when one is bloodied by baptism

Guys revise, acknowledge past lives
People reconsider their choices and seek to understand their past experiences

Statements will be made, acknowledge me
I will make my presence known and demand recognition

My mind is Heaven's gate so enter me
My mind is open to new experiences and ideas - come explore with me

My mind is the gate to Hell, so try to flee
My mind can be a dark and dangerous place - try to avoid it if you can

Both gates look the same, which will it be?
Both good and evil can be deceptive - which path will you choose?

Demons scream from thought process
Negative thoughts can feel overwhelming

Enter semen, child born, stress
The birth of a child can be a stressful experience

Body want to sleep but the mind can't rest
Physical fatigue doesn't always mean mental rest

Measure pleasure through financial progress
Success is often measured by wealth and material possessions

When it come to currency, love is nonexistent
People's priorities often shift towards money over love

Foes multiply, friends become so distant
Enemies can increase in number while friends drift away

Some hope you die, backstab in an instant
Some will actively wish harm upon you and may betray you without hesitation

Foes I despise, disguised as allies
Enemies disguised as friends are particularly loathsome

To sabotage, camouflage
To succeed in underhanded actions, one must blend in and hide their intentions

Loyalty is lies
People are often disloyal and will break ties without warning

To see God, look into my eyes
By understanding my perspective, you may gain insight into the divine

To see the Devil, then you look into my eyes
I have an understanding of evil that can be revealed by looking into my eyes

Cause I'mma slow it up, speed it up, slow it up, speed it up
I have control over the tempo of the music

Metal Fingers feed beats, Grimm Reaper eat 'em up
MF DOOM produces music while MF Grimm creates lyrics

Take air, compress it, bless it
Take something ordinary and make it special through skill and creativity

Mix loops like Ku Klux
Artfully blend together disparate elements to create something new

MF don't give two fucks
MF DOOM doesn't care what anyone thinks

Nigga, quarterback blitz, popped, quickly fumble
I attack aggressively, quickly overwhelming my opponents

Leave game with concussion, seeing stars and mumbles
Those who challenge me will be left in a state of confusion and disarray

This happens to any emcee that wants to rumble
Anyone who challenges me will suffer the same fate

Dynasties destroyed like Carringtons and Colbys
My power and influence can bring down even the most powerful families

Noise, reduced, MF thinks in Dolby
I am able to think clearly and without distraction

Chop that ass in half like Obi-Wan Kenobi
I am able to defeat my opponents with ease and precision

Greatest of all time, God straight up told me
I am confident in my abilities and believe I am divinely inspired

Greatest of all time, the Devil even told me
Even those on the side of evil acknowledge my greatness

Icicles on surfaces of sun, we livin' coldly
Our world is a harsh and unforgiving place

Prophets be phony
Those claiming to have insight into divine truth are often frauds

And we attack, we switch like the Wu Tang symbol
We are constantly changing and adapting our approach - like the Wu Tang symbol

Still kill Jack even though quick and nimble, plain and simple
Even those who are quick and agile can be defeated

Pick niggas off while they ballin'
I am able to take out my opponents while they are at their best

And die old like Stalin
I am content to die having lived a long life, like Stalin did

Yes, Death, I hear you callin', I accept collect
I acknowledge that death is inevitable and have no fear of it

Human sacrifice, must pay respect
Those who give their lives for a cause or belief deserve recognition and respect

We catch reck, nigga, we catch reck
We are a force to be reckoned with and will not be taken down easily
