MF Doom - Potholderz Lyrics






(Hot shit) (Aww shit)...

[Count Bass D:]
I strive to be humble, lest I stumble
Never sold a jumbo or copped chicken with its mumbo sauce
Tyson is a fowl holocaust
Hitler gassed your whole head up with poultry, I'm fed up
Ignore cordon bleu, stand up, get up
Lunge for your knife, don't forget your potholders
(Hot shit)

[MF Doom:]
What, these old things?
About to throw them away
With the gold rings that make 'em don't fit like OJ
Usually I take them off with Oil of Olay
MCs is crabs in a barrel, pass the Old Bay
Hot as hell and it's a cold day, innit?
Working on a way that we can roll away tinted
Some say the price of holding heat is often too high
You either be in a coffin or you be the new guy
The one that's too fly to eat shoo pie, (Never too busy)
Never too busy when it comes down to you and I
Swear to God
A lot of niggas wish to die
They need to hold they horses, there's bigger fish to fry
You're on the list, if not pick a number spot
Ten and a half Timbs is made to kick your bumba claat
Coulda had a V-8
F-150 quad cab but I'll be straight
Money comes and goes like that two bit hussy that night that tried to rush me
Dwight, pass the dutchie
So I can calm down so they don't get it twisted
Take it from the fire side, it won't get blistered
Got it, what happened
Oh, it's not lit
These metal fingers be holding (hot shit)

[Count Bass D:]
When I was four, I penned "God Was Born In New York"
Back in '77, still got nan in the crescent
The effervescence of God's presence is thick
Unlike vapor, Esther Rolle, extra raw, word to the baker
Peace to the hard workin' gingerbread makers
Looked her up and down said, 'hmmmm, too much makeup'
Poor music taste, ten years from being grown up
Rappers don't blow up heads do (Aww shit)
My name is Dwight Spitz, I'mma Sonic addict
I use to think it was merely a nagging habit
Born under a bad sign
I'm serious about this curse of mine
I strive to flip it into fine wine
Barely born a Virgo is what the stars said
Black not white, red all over though like Elmo
Twenty-eight years have passed I feel I'm peaking
I make music every weekend
It's a chore, a fact of life
A labor of love
I get mad love but I detest the labor
And it's wages, you know death
I'm servin' life on this gift of God
Don't forget your potholders my niggas

(More hot shit)

    [Verse 1: Count Bass D]
I strive to be humble, lest I stumble
Never sold a jumbo or copped chicken with its mumbo
Sauce, Tyson is a fowl holocaust

[Verse 2: MF DOOM]
What, these old things? About to throw 'em away
With the gold rings that make 'em don't fit like OJ
Usually I take them off with Oil of Olay
MCs is crabs in a barrel, pass the Old Bay
Hot as hell and it's a cold day, innit?
Working on a way that we can roll away tinted

(Swear to God) A lot of niggas wish to die

You're on the list, if not, pick a number spot
Ten and a half Timbs is made to kick your bumba claat
I coulda had a V-8
F-150 quad cab but I'll be straight
Money comes and goes like that two bit hussy
That night that tried to rush me, Dwight, pass the dutchie
So I can calm down so they don't get it twisted
Take it from the fire side, it won't get blistered
Got it, what happened? Oh, it's not lit
These metal fingers be holding (hot shit)

  32. S.... P....

  33. M.... Z....

    All y’all talking bout him being the best rapper but his production skills are timeless

  34. D.... R....

    I've been a huge doom fan since a kid but Count Bass D killed this

    D.... R....

    All caps man

  35. M.... ....

    I always thought Count Bass sounded quite similar to GZA

    M.... ....

    He sounds like a calmer and more mellowed out Mos Def here.

  36. H.... e....

    so amazing.. I’ve recently started to hear about this artist’s songs and I’ve nearly heard every songs .
    I think and believe that his songs are almost perpect all around hiphop history

  37. M.... N....

    Dwight spitz aka Count Bass D merks doom on this track, lyrically dwight farrell conroy trucks more hiphop trax than a convoy! Doom can thank Count for all of his successes.

  38. Z.... W....

    135 people were too high and pushed the wrong button with their potholders...HOT SHIT

  39. S.... E....

    Now imma fuck your head up, imagine a MF DOOM Scarface collab

  40. k.... w....

  45. T.... Y....

    DOOM for life!

  46. W.... ....

    Lupe and doom are both the same tier.....I would give the edge to Lupe with his subject matter like his song "Conflict diamonds" Original video deleted by YouTube since it was getting to popular...YouTube doesn't want people waking up to reality. Conflict diamonds is a masterpiece.....

  47. T.... ....

    This sounds like a b side to operation doomsday

  48. a.... r....

    till this day!

  49. M.... A....

    DOOM's comment section is the only one I've seen where people actually make decent points in their arguments 😂

  50. Y.... ....

    Why do I hear Logan Thirtyacre saying “boss”

  51. b.... d....

    "Born under a bad sign"!!

  52. A.... M....
