Doomsday
MF Doom ft. Pebbles The Invisible Girl Lyrics

Mic check
Testing the microphone before beginning the performance

(When I was led to you)
When I stumbled upon your music

(I knew you were the one for me)
I recognized your talent immediately

Come through, dig the sound
Come listen to the music and appreciate its quality

(I swear the whole world could feel you MC)
Your music is so powerful that it can be felt by everyone in the world

Crowd around
Gather together to enjoy the music

I used to cop a lot
I used to buy a lot of drugs

But never copped no drop
But I never bought any of the producer's bad music

Hold mics like pony tails, tight, and bob a lot
Grasping the microphone tightly and moving around while performing

Stop and stick around
Stay and listen to the music

Of the fly brown six-o sicko psycho who throws his dick around
The amazing rapping skills of the artist who is proud and confident

Bound to go three-plat
Expected to achieve high record sales of three million copies

Came to destroy rap
Came to revolutionize and improve the rap genre

It's a intricate plot of a B-Boy strapped
An elaborate plan by a skilled breakdancer who is armed and dangerous

Femstat cats get kidnapped
Female MCs who are not as talented are held captive

Then release a statement to the press, let the rest know who did that
Announcing the rapper as the culprit in a press release

Metal Fist terrorists claim responsibility
The artist's group of skilled rappers proudly take credit for their work

Broken household name usually said in hostility
An artist who has become famous but is not well-liked

Um what is MF? You silly
The artist's initials being questioned in a humorous way

I'd like to take "Mens to the End" for two milli'
A reference to a popular TV game show where people win money by answering questions

"Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo" That's a audio daily double
An audio clue in the TV game show

Rappers need to fall off just to save me the trouble, yo
Other rappers need to stop making music to avoid competition

Watch your own back
Be cautious and look out for yourself

Came in and go out alone, black
Start and end an artist's career without any help from others

Stay in the zone turn H2O to Cognac
Stay focused on performing well and turn something ordinary like water to something extraordinary like Cognac

On Doomsday
A reference to the last day of the world

Ever since the womb 'til I'm back where my brother went
From birth until the artist's death

That's what my tomb will say
That's what will be written on the artist's gravestone

Right above my government, Dumille
The artist's real name written right above the name he was known by in music

Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who's to say?
The gravestone may or may not be marked, it is unknown

I wrote this one in B.C. D.C. O-section
The artist wrote this song in a specific part of Washington D.C.

If you don't believe me, go get bagged and check then
If they don't believe the artist wrote this song, they can confirm by going to the specific place mentioned and checking

Cell number 17, up under the top bunk
The specific location in which the artist wrote this song

I say this not to be mean, wish bad luck or pop junk
The artist is not saying this to be insulting or hateful

Pop the trunk on See-Cipher-Punk, leave him left scraped
Open the car trunk and reveal a useless and insignificant person in the artist's life

God forbid, if there ain't no escape, blame MF tape
Blame the artist's music if there is no way out of a bad situation

Definition "super-villain", a killer who love children
A description of the artist and his persona as a villain, who is skilled in both creativity and destruction

One who is well-skilled in destruction, as well as building
Someone who can bring destruction or make something new

While Sidney Sheldon teaches the trife to be trifer
A reference to influential author who creates dark characters that can have a negative impact on society

I'm trading science fiction with my man the live lifer
Trading ideas about science fiction with a friend who embraces what life has to offer

A pied piper holler a rhyme, a dollar and a dime
A reference to a character that draws people in with his music or speech and asks for payment in the form of a dollar and a dime

Do his thing, ring around the white collar crime
Performing one's art while the wealthy commit their crimes

Get out my face, askin' 'bout my case, need toothpaste
Stop asking the artist personal questions, and they need toothpaste to stay fresh

Fresher mint, monkey-style nigga get dentadent
Fresh mint toothpaste is better and the artist's style is unique

And dope fiends still in they teens, shook niggas turn witness
Drug addicts are still young and impressionable, and weak people become witnesses

Real mens mind their own business
Mature and respectable people focus on their own affairs

That's the difference between sissy-pissy rappers that's double-dutch
The difference between weak rappers who are indecisive and talented ones who are confident

How come I hold the microphone double-clutch
Controlling the microphone with both hands to produce more effective sound

C.O.'s make rounds, never have 'ox found
Correctional officers never find anything harmful around

On shakedown, lock-down, wet dreams of Fox' Brown
During shakedowns, inmates dream of women like Foxy Brown, during lockdowns

Pass the mic like "Pass the peas like they used to say"
Passing the microphone the same way as people pass the peas during dinner

Some M-er F-ers don't like how Sally walk
Some people criticize a woman's walking style

I'll tell y'all fools it's hella cool how ladies from Cali talk
The artist thinks the way Californian women talk is cool

Never let her interfere with the Yeti ghetto slang
Never let a woman's speech pattern disrupt the artist's unique slang

Nicknames off nipple and tip of nipples metal fang
The artist has a unique name created from a woman's nipples

Known amongst hoes for the bang-bang
The artist has a reputation with women for his sexual prowess

Known amongst foes for flow with no talking orangutans
Respected by other rappers for his flow which stands out even without relying on dirty talk

Only gin and Tang
The artist only drinks gin and flavored Tang as his preferred refreshment

Guzzled out a rusty tin can
Drinking greedily from an old can marked by age and wear

Me and this mic is like yin and yang
The artist and the microphone are in perfect harmony

Clang, crime don't pay, listen, youth
The sound of metal banging together to signify that crime doesn't pay and young people should pay attention

It's like me holding up the line at the kissing booth
It is a waste of time and inappropriate to hold up lines where people want to kiss

I took her back to the truck, she was uncouth
The artist took a woman back to his car, but she was unrefined in her behavior

Spittin' all out the sunroof, through her missing tooth
The woman spoke out of the car's sunroof, revealing her toothless mouth

But then she has a sexy voice, sound like Jazzy Joyce
Despite her appearance, the woman had a sexy voice similar to the iconic radio DJ Jazzy Joyce

So I turned it up faster than a speeding knife
The artist turned up the music quickly, faster than the speed of a knife

Strong enough to please a wife
Music that is so good it could please a woman

Able to drop today's math in the 48 keys of life
Able to express important ideas and concepts in music

Cut the crap far as rap
Eliminating the unnecessary and leaving only the true essence of rap

Touch the mic, get the same thing a Arab will do to you for stealing
Taking the artist's microphone without permission will result in punishment similar to an Arab's punishment for thievery

What the devil? He's on another level
The artist's talent is so great it's almost supernatural

It's a word
The artist and his music are a powerful force and influence

No, a name
The artist has a specific name and identity

MF the super villain
The artist's persona and stage name, as a super villain

Doomsday
A reference to the end of the world

Check the sound
Listen to the sounds and music

Right around
Happening right now
