Skit
Mos Def & MF Doom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when I met a brilliant student named DOOM
Hello? Anybody home?
Wow, look at that equipment
I wonder what DOOM is working on
Now I'll just rearrange a few of these circuits
What are you doing in my room?
(You're even more stupid than I thought) Give me those papers
I just came by to say hello
But you'd better recheck those equations
You're off a few decimals
And that means big trouble if you use this material
Get out of here
The lyrics of Mos Def and MF Doom's song "Skit" talk about the encounter of two geniuses, Mos Def and MF Doom. Mos Def introduces the song by recalling a memory from the past when he met an intelligent student named DOOM. Mos Def, being fascinated by DOOM's brilliance, wonders what he is working on while DOOM tinkers with his equipment. DOOM, noticing Mos Def's presence, becomes irritated and tells him to leave his room. Mos Def leaves but not before cautioning DOOM to recheck his equations since he had calculated a few decimals incorrectly, which could lead to big trouble if DOOM were to use his material.
The lyrics of the song reveal the personalities of the two rappers - Mos Def is curious and outgoing, while MF Doom is aloof and irritable. The song is a short but entertaining skit that showcases the MC's humor and playfulness. The simple beat and the short duration of the song make it an ideal interlude between tracks.
