MF Doom - Bookhead Lyrics






The lust that sold the story, grodier than Mr. Crowley
For those embarrassed to know holier than thou Imoli habits
Paris to the Gobi, bring 'em up to speed slowly
On the low key, Kindles is phony D
Tastes stale - see the words in shades of grayscale
Right there in black-and-white, protected by chain mail
Today's the day made your way to see your sister’n’um
Took my little mens with her, told her loved 'em, kisseded him
These oversensitive youngins is on some new stuff
Can't sit still and focus, the time it take to do enough
From the mean streets of the "Can I get a dollar, dude?"
Above measure, the singular pleasure of solitude
It's your poison, if you so choose, absorb it
Veins to the brain, shoot off into orbit
How you know octagon?
Or much less tetragrammaton?
To get the good stuff, you gotta get out to the Amazon
With any luck, your mic could score locally
Keep it on the hush when you speakin' on it vocally
Then you gotta be on the in, a known member
I think I still owe him little somethin' since November, whatever
Who need credit when cash speak?
Get it - sweatin', sittin' on his package since last week
We all got weaknesses, even the functionin' dead
Some will end up fudgin' numbers, buggin' and lunchin' instead
Netflix in the head
Second best trick to get chicks into bed

Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been.

  1. D.... O....

    Imagine if doom just used 1 name

  2. J.... ....

    Sounds Brazilian half way through

  3. P.... M....

    can i just mention how..hmmm multidimensional DOOM's messages are. pay attention to the 'noise' in between about 2/3 into the track. he's in a fkn library. put it together. sound = information. noise and pattern beat..books. reflect. learn. DOOM is fkn amazing and you all just thought some fat fk with a mask could throw so ..neatly. blessed mess is this book cancel fest.

    P.... M....

    fkn a McIntosh.

  10. D.... ....

    Doom is into Geoffrey Chaucer, Canterbury tales, i'm from Canterbury, what a coincident but i guess Canterbury is a big part of Britains history. listening to dooms music is lessons in its self, its universal for everyone.

    MF DOOM's the G. O. A. T among all rappers he's greater than 2pac and biggie combined his lyrical skills and intellect is for a restricted audience only. Dude is a living legend notice how he never cuss?!!! DOOM's got class

  27. B.... W....

    “Today’s the day, made his way to see his sister'n'um
    Took my little mens with her, told him loved him.. kisseded him”

    The fact Doom had to see his son die is tragic. I can’t imagine how much that fucked him up.

  28. T.... M....

    I feel like he is talking about ayhauwaska or Dmt

  29. D.... ....

  50. J.... B....

    Why does MF Doom keep making alternate personas?

    J.... B....

    Justin Bennett They’re not personas, they’re names for whom he’s working with for a group project. For example: Mf Doom+Madlib=Madvillian

    The lust that sold the story, grodier than Mr. Crowley
    For those embarrassed to know holier than thou Imoli habits

    On the low key, Kindles is phony D
    Tastes stale - see the words in shades of grayscale
    Right there in black-and-white, protected by chain mail
    Today's the day made your way to see your sister’n’um
