MF Doom - Fancy Clown Lyrics






I knew you was fucking around
Playing all innocent and hoeing since the foundation
Don't make me have to pound his tin crown face in
And risk being jammed up like traffic inbound from spacing
There's been a place for you in my heart since we first met
A teenage love that didn't feel no hurt yet
My boys warned me you was poison like BBD first cassette
And still I put all my chips on the worst bet
Gave up the skirt, now I gotta hear it from the street
How dare you drag my name in the dirt and cheat
You could've broke it off and ended it and dip
And if you spoke soft we could've still preserved the friendship
Now you apologize, that's what they all say
You wasn't sorry when you sucked him off in the hallway
But have it your way, raw, no foreplay
That's you if you want a dude who wear a mask all day
And just to think I used to be proud of you
And you had some real good power...

Probably kissed me later that evening, I should be hurling
Matter of fact, gimme back my bracelet and my Shearling
I rather waste it or give it to your girlfriend
She did let me stab it last week while you was workin'
Remember our vacation out to Maryland
I dooked the maid Carolyn, she made me throw the towel in
Like all foul men the time I hit your moms off
I told her knock it off but she had to set the rocket off
Ain't enough room in this fucking town
When you see tin head tell him be ducking down
I'm not romping around
He better be ready and prepared to be stomped in the ground

MF Doom Fancy Clown Comments
  1. D.... H....

    I never appreciated this video until just now, but it's actually perfect for this song. Casting the kid as Viktor is low-key genius.

  2. R.... ....

    Still my fav

  3. s.... ....

    @1:44 WTF is she sayin'?

  4. M.... D....

    But the guy really spent his money like water

  5. F.... T....

    This is bout the realest heartbreak rap song ever

  6. N.... W....

    this song has something extra

  7. J.... O....

    this video is shit, but the songs great

  8. C.... T....

    This beat sounds exactly how I feel when I am heart broken. A beautiful mess.

  9. E.... B....

    When Rap was lyrical art.
    And Flow was hard skill.
    And Beat was goosebumps.

    This song rises and falls back into its own stream, through and back up again. And with each intentional cart wheel bar it tears out another thread that weaves back into its own meaning. All in under 2 minutes.

    These type of rappers are out of production. Cherish them.

    MF DOOM

    Madlib

  10. j.... t....

    Zz hill sample...

  11. t.... g....

    put biggies and pacs killers on hold, rn whoever hurt DOOM is now hip hops biggest enemy

  12. A.... V....

    8 years later and this dude in the beginning of the vid still hasn’t ironed that shirt.

  13. N.... W....

    this is pure bliss

  14. j.... t....

    Son didn’t even iron his shirt

  15. f.... ....

    *Chris Hansen is shaking watching this music video*

  16. C.... ....

    How is this the official video

  17. T.... V....

    Wondering how many people were sent here through the Boondocks. lol

  18. R.... O....

    that man needs to trip around the town with a fancy iron

  19. J.... ....

    This video is terrible. No wonder I’m just now seeing it. Why is the unironed shirt guy even there? Stones Throw also gave Danny Brown a trash video for Monopoly. They gotta come better for these classic songs smh

  20. a.... s....

    2019-2020?

  21. D.... ....

    wish he ironed his shirt

  22. R.... B....

    I'm not rocking he better be ready and prepared to be stomped in the ground.

  23. P.... S....

    Genius doom🔥

  24. C.... M....

    Now you apologize, that’s what they all say

    C.... M....

    Chasity Michelle wasn't sorry when you had to cough in the mall place

  25. S.... 3....

    Doom being the mad villain he is and ending the song short. It could’ve gone on and on. Bless his evil ways 🙏🏼the artist is a living legend

  26. J.... J....

    That's the kid from everybody hates Chris

  27. M.... Z....

    Holy shit this is literally perfection for several reasons

    1. First of all, the beat is fucking bananas by itself

    2. Almost every time the chopped sample goes "---'in ---ound", DOOM lays a homophone right over it. Genius.

    3. That moment when he uses the sample to complete his sentence, which is a Five Percenter reference "Power---you" = "PU" (Supreme Alphabet) = "Pussy"

    4. If you listen to the lyrics closely within the context of his mythology, you'll see that Viktor is rapping about having his girl stolen by MF DOOM. This mf really rapped about stealing his girl from himself. Damn!

    This song is one of the best.

  28. S.... B....

    definitely one of the worst doom posters he has ever sent out

  29. B.... G....

    That girl homieb chilling with is soooooo beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 truly enthralling

  30. M.... ....

    Incredible....

  31. K.... T....

    I know this song has a deeper concept than what you would initially think but anyone who has been cheated on can relate! Had this on repeat during a tough break up.

  32. o.... ....

    Didn’t know berner sang the hook

  33. H.... Z....

    The villain strikes again

  34. A.... ....

    Two things that always kept this video from being perfect, in my opinion. Dude with the wrinkled shirt shouldn’t have been in the video, the sample didn’t need to be personified. And the video should have ended after 1:46.

  35. I.... M....

    how is DOOM this much of a god?

  36. L.... W....

    Put ya sista on tha phone.

  37. B.... B....

    And you had some real good power (you) been... That was hard yell

  38. W.... S....

    Ban (the video)

  39. i.... a....

    The guy in the intro looks like mathew santoro

  40. c.... d....

    I don't give a fuck wnws he's the goat

  41. z.... ....

    what’s the sample from 1:47-the end
    Ive been searching YouTube for “and now subscriber, we’ve got to punch you up, so, hope you stand by”

    z.... ....

    or “we’ll be standby” or something like that

    z.... ....

    Proctor and Bergman - "TV Or Not TV."
    Sample's at 2:25.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDiMoJYh7g&t=151s

  42. x.... ....

    Who is the man singing at the beginning? Does he owns his own label I can listen to?

  43. A.... W....

    Idk why this song popped up all of a sudden but I never pass a opportunity to listen to some DOOM 🖤

  44. K.... S....

    This helps my heart. I put my chips in the worst bet 🤦‍♂️

  45. m.... t....

    Boondocks, the memories😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  46. d.... b....

    🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

  47. E.... ....

    This song makes me so sad

  48. E.... ....

    That's you if you want a dude who wear a mask all day

  49. _.... a....

    And this, guys, is an example of a perfect song.

  50. D.... s....

    She a snake son

  51. A.... I....

    Bruh, this song posted by Stones Throw, but they can’t even capitalize DOOM? 😂

    A.... I....

    Am I Cool Yet? The word "doom" isn't in the title ir description though

  52. D.... B....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_gq-v4-M2A

  53. C.... ....

    Wish this song was longer

  54. m.... t....

    when i see people saying its disguised as a humble rap don't see the bigger picture and that's it actually a catalyst for the cycle

  55. D.... S....

    Great video, great beat, great lyrics. Cracks me up how dude in the beginning has a wrinkled ass shirt on lol.

  56. J.... ....

    This song is getting me through a weird time with my wife. 6 years in and recently she cheated on me with a guy she works with. We’re still friends and hang out and I don’t know what we are doing at the moment but I know in my heart it’s not the same anymore and what we once had is long gone.

  57. R.... ....

    I KNEW YOU WAS FUCKIN AROUND

    [Intro: Sample]
    I hear you in the background
    Whenever I phone
    Tellin' your brother
    To say you're gone

    [Hook]
    [Sample]
    You've been trippin' around, uptown
    Wooin' some fancy clown

    [Girl and Viktor Vaughn]
    Put your sister on the phone
    Yo, it's Viktor


    [Verse 1: Viktor Vaughn]
    I knew you was ----ing around
    Playing all innocent and ho'ing since the foundation
    Don't make me have to pound his tin crown face in
    And risk being jammed up like traffic, inbound from spacing
    There's been a place for you in my heart since we first met
    A teenage love that didn't feel no hurt yet

    [Sample]

    [Girl]
    No, it wasn't- it wasn't nothing like that
    Well, my brother, you didn't tell me you had called
    I wasn't at home

    [Verse 2: Viktor Vaughn]
    Probably kissed her later that evening, I should be hurling
    Matter fact, gimme back my bracelet and my Shearling
    I rather waste it or give it to your girlfriend
    She did let me stab it last week while you was workin'

    Ready and prepared to be stomped in the ground

    [Outro: Samples]
    Well, I thought you [?]

  59. S.... O....

    How does one like this post everyday for the rest of ones life

  60. J.... J....

    It's pretty cool how he starts of sympathetic, as someone who was cheated on.

    And the second part is basically him one upping the girl, saying he cheated on her multiple times.

    He just stomps all over the sympathy you feel on the 1st half.

  61. C.... C....

    Real shizzzit

  62. B.... B....

    I knew you was fuckin around
    Playin all innocent
    Hoein since the foundation

  68. g.... s....

    Why does this bald guy in the call center clothing get to be in the video lip syncing the hook?

    g.... s....

    Never thought about it, I guess kid DOOM became white to look like the guy she goes away with? Lmao

  69. M.... E....

    It makes you feel like a powerless child having your loved one swept from underneath you like some sick joke. It makes sense why in this video he's a child at the end the kids face says it all then it flashes to the mask on to cover all the shit

  70. T.... M....

    *Ronald* 👈6 letters//
    *Wilson* 👈 6 letters//
    *Regan* 👈6 letters//
    Who was the Gov of Cali b4 becoming U.S.President...

  81. A.... R....

    I first heard about this guy from the boondocks, they featured Raid on it. I gotta say I love this guy's raps, he's like a mellowed out Metaphor the Great

  82. D.... 1....

    223 people are fancy clowns with 10 crown faces

  83. 4.... M....

    Definitely one of my favorites

  84. C.... C....

    Why did Spotify have to take this album down :(

  85. b.... M....

    Damn it to the extreme dammit to the extreme what could I say about this video it is the right way of how things are approaching through the future I am 40 years old and I have seen so many freaking wow things that are up in hurrying up in life which is is technology and how gay marriages are trying to get up and running wow seeing that everything's changing transgender restrooms in School classrooms who ever met that s*** has to go to hell because that's going to the extreme what the hell is going on with her Earth this website is justice everything website is going out of control

  86. C.... ....

    For some reason that guy singing in the beginning really looks believable, didn't know this was a fan video at first
