MF Doom - Crosshairs Lyrics






[MF Doom:]
The fat is in the fire, a fryer made of chicken wire
Gettin' sick and tired of a friggin' liar
Pelican, with some very soft mangoes
A closet full of skeletons and terry cloth Kangols
Flew the coop, before you hit it let me warn you
She did a cool hula-hoop, but don't get any on you
It's all a big scam, to make y'all eat pig ham
When he's on the mic he's like the triggerman, FIGJAM
DOOM, not to be confused with nobody
Especially, since the flows he used was so nutty
Never too woozy to go study, crews got no clues
Like old cruddy Officer McGillicuddy
Watch your six, he got a lot of more tricks
Lyrics, bricks, on sticks sure got raw-nytics
It's a gift, don't get shot for kicks
With the same slick used to plot Sig Figs with
Spotted at a chick flick, holdin' hands
The other one on his swollen glands, a golden chance
That's why he kept them holes in his pants
Rollin' in a old van, is what he told his stolen fans
Is that you? True. Matched from hat to shoe
Snafu, snatch any brew, LaBatt's Blue
Black jew like that's new, patch me through
No latch attached, skat shoo, catch twenty-two
Super, he's loaded dice nice
And overpriced, an arm and a leg; owe 'em your life or your ice
Villain, nag a grieving old hag
Snag a bragger by his mic cord and leave him holding the bag
Come clean, a bunch of dumb mean cream puffs
A keen drum machine buff, who fiends for more green stuff
Instead of starvin' there be problems by the goo gobs
Aight - somebody's robbin' Lou Dobbs and them tonight
And he's on the next flight, moonbound
And makes it a point to stay away from the goon pound
Got some peers, that's gone in the lost years
Tears and cheers, born in the crosshairs

[Thundercleese sings]

[Brak:]
Hey Mr. Thundercleese!
What's that you were singing?

[Thundercleese:]
It is the Robotic Hymn of Doom

[Brak:]
Well I always say
Nuttin livens up a Robotic Hymn of Doom
Better than AN AMAZING PAIR OF JUGS!

  43. O.... J....

    "Hypoxanthine is a hell of a drug!" - Rick James

  44. J.... ....

    One time I took a bad E pill that fucked me up, It was some fucked shit and after i threw it up I waited for the pains to pass, I was sure I was dying. I listened to this song to chill out afterwards but it was the most crazy fucking experience of my life hearing it. It was so alien, even though it sounded like the same song, I could never explain. All the words were coming out but I couldn't make sense of any of them at all, it all sounded so unbearably alien along with the music, so alien it sent shivers down my spine and made me tense up in cringe at the sounds of it, I can't describe it. I was hallucinating like mad aswell, every time he rapped i could see a cartoon version of doom on a stage rapping really monotone, all the words sounded like tthe exact same tone of voice with the same rythm before really stressing the last syllable as the cartoon doom pointed into the crowd. I don't know fam, shit was crazy, just thought I'd share it here because i get flashbacks each time I hear this song lmao.

  45. W.... d....

    doom bots

  46. j.... s....

    The fat is in the fire, a fryer made of chicken wire

  70. I.... W....

    I was a little skeptical about Doom, but after giving both his MF Doom Danger Doom stuff a listen I'm no longer skeptical. His lyrics are smooth as silk and his flow is amazing, easily my new favorite artist.

    I.... W....

    Conner Darrell his new favorite

  71. a.... ....

    Well I always say
    Nuttin livens up a Robotic Hymn of Doom
    Better than AN AMAZING PAIR OF JUGS!!

  72. J.... M....

    Da da da dar dar da da da dar da da dar that sample is ace what ever it is

  73. M.... L....

    i really don't see how people can argue DOOM isn't among the greatest lyricists in hip hop of all time

    M.... L....

    I Don't Like That Shit Great comparison, I agree wholeheartedly!

    M.... L....

    if you think he's the best you aint heard of aesop rock, but mf doom is up there

    M.... L....

    @YAYA JF. on the microphone or wheels of mechanized steel

    M.... L....

    @The Caretaker that was a great response. Altho personally I would take DOOM, but man Aesop Rock is a great match. Aesop Rock is extremely underrated and one of the best to come from NY. Its funny because Aesop Rock is from Long Island, and altho Doom was born in the UK, he grew up on Long Island in NY not far from Aesop Rock. So knowing all of that makes your response even better.

    M.... L....

    Not to mention the fact that he never sold out, has good messages, and makes almost all his own beats...

  74. H.... B....

    Whats the song in background ? 

    H.... B....

    @Stern Ritter  Its called Thoughtful Popper by Don Harper however this is dangermouses remix used in this song

    H.... B....

    @canadaman112 Thanks a lot dude ! 

  75. I.... H....

    BLACK JEW LIKE THATS NEW

  76. T.... D....

    gratz

  79. j.... b....

    Doom please come back! We need your music!!!! I bought your albums!

    j.... b....

    He did a collab album with Bishop Neru he has a few verses but he mainly produced.

    j.... b....

    Was a rather week album in my opinion.

    j.... b....

    Zcarface meets metal face
    Inspectah deck &7L and MF DOOM collab that came out earlier this year

    j.... b....

    The christimas special also

  80. D.... K....

    Come clean; a bunch of dumb, mean cream puffs

    D.... K....

    "A keen drum machine buff who fiend for more green stuff."

  81. I.... V....

    Does anybody know who produced this?

    I.... V....

    dangermouse

    I.... V....

    @MezcalMountain really ? Thanks

    I.... V....

    It's ok.. I understand 😕

  82. W.... ....

    My favorite MC!

  83. T.... ....

    If there was ONE track i could show someone to become a doom fan, it would be this track. Dope lyrics, Dope beat, Dope overall production

    T.... ....

    +KingCAPITAL id throw up doomsday honestly

    T.... ....

    TheRapVault I listen to more rock than anything doom is universally appealing like shit this stuff is sick

    T.... ....

    To introduce DOOM, I go with Benzie Box. That's my go-to off this album. Other than that, Accordion, Money Folder, November is Coming or Is he Ill.

    T.... ....

    I agree. Killer beat and lyrics

    T.... ....

    This or One Beer.

  84. C.... c....

    Doom's lyrical skills and danger mouse's productions result in a great fucking album!

    C.... c....

    try Grateful Doom. One more beer is good

    C.... c....

    @Gayvon Fartin and My favorite ladies as well

    C.... c....

    Is that Grateful Dead and MF Doom? I'll check it out. NehruvianDoom is great as well.

  85. S.... C....

    This is the nastiest beat ever

    S.... C....

    Sarkis Castro ghost face killa - fish has a dope beat too

    S.... C....

    I don't understand how's this even related to OP's comment.

    S.... C....

    He probably just heard that Ghostface song for the first time and thought it was substantial enough to comment and add to the conversation. Probably not though

    S.... C....

    Ahahahah n a s t y

  86. d.... ....

    This song and 9th Planet's "Interim" track are my favorite rap songs with latin sounding instrumentals.

  87. M.... D....

    fletch is DOOM

  88. D.... S....

    Love this shit.

  89. D.... ....

    the bass line is too sick

  90. B.... ....
