MF Doom - Who You Think I Am Lyrics






[Megalon:]
Who you think I am, but who you want me to be?

[King Ceasar:]
...When I rock, jock niggas in shellshock
Don't watch the birdie watch the clock go tick tock
I rip shop, I make ya girls bottom lip drop
Yo word to the truckers at the pit stop I'm hip hop
I hold heat, never forget what niggas told me they showed me
Other emcees trying to fold me they owe me
Yo plus them niggas mad slow gee
I got my "Get U Now" so I'm comin with my homie
Here's the plan: stick 'em up, I enter, through the window
Stoop down so we can't see our crescendo
Pass the indo, yo we used to be our friend though
Yeah but thats the reason I dont really like to lend dough

[Rodan:]
From the corners cylindrical triangle hats
Says dunce. Lyrics precise like forensical science leave you entangled for months
Tryin to figure who done it, you fronted
Got cha shit stunted, didn't have to be that way
Some saw the light comin in, they shunned it
For the wickedness to those whose despise life and worship death
The established matched at eye for eye, tooth for tooth, breath to breath
These are the last days of the countdown, shit is just that drastic
Write journals, like they use the prophets, study math like a Aztec

[Megalon:]
Loved not for who you think I am, but who you want me to be
A true thuggin emcee, true thugs, with no strings attached
I wanna give you my slugs and don't wanna take em
Box sprays, but with my box cutter in my boxes
Shots sprayed, who on cops high says we rastas
Rock away boulevard, got love and knoxus[?]
Bout five cops today, my rock away
Niggas and rock rage, got paid
A rock, you know why I rock, meet me at the lobses[?]
I suggest I should dress proper
Copped a buzz, I copped a dutch
I got a lotta love, with no strings attached

[Kamackeris:]
Rhymes, rhymes, rhymes, we got plenty
Dimes, dimes, dimes, too many
Sparked up and chat, you keep countin
I do my thing, jealous niggas keep doubtin
Rock 'n' roll, lock 'n' load
Emcees out for pots of gold, we stop 'em cold
In they tracks an take all they chips-eses
All they dats, all they bullshit mixeses
Give 'em a credit, not debt it
We just flipped the calistetic
Toss the Andy Pettitte, you said it
We grandslam in the never boss stand
Any pussy emcee's we abandon

[King Geedorah:]
Flew in from Monster Island just to rag shit wit jet lag
With brothers specializin ways how us not to get bagged
Egads! I bring confusion like roll call
To emcees so-called, hoes be like "yup I told y'all"
So socialize my bio so I dip dip dive
Memorize like I-omega zip drive
Go to the bar to drink to get soberer
King Ghidra eat the head of a king cobra like ginkoba

[Kong:]
Kong get a cut like Kobe, now hold heat
So sweet, roll deep but no beef
Those that doze deep, close sheets
Po chose to speak with, reach over to reload the piece
Slip from freak to deak, keep concrete
Parallel to body til the next male
Shotties and hotty, still waitin to exhale
Smell the blood bath a slugs caught
Slugs passed and bloodsport
Bugged laugh, a bugged thought
Caught some eyes make the case last stack a locker
Bocker, drink a vodka, hit note, like Sinatra at a opera
Drop a flocker, Orville Redenbacher
Get you, got you, shot the two L's without the proper
For the albums knocker
Hit the liquor, quicker than a quicker picker upper
Girl and stick er, I leave more nuts than a snicker
Kick er to the curb, punk a bitch, stomp a chick
For now call me Kong, Monster Isle, Monster Click (Bow!)

[Megalon:]
Loved not for who you think I am, but who you want me to be
True thuggin emcee, true thugs, with no strings attached
I wanna give you my slugs, and don't wanna take 'em back

    d.... ....

    which one's Kong?

  35. j.... ....

    that flute...

  36. #.... ....

    Sounds like it's been recorded through a potato, but it makes this classic 10x better to sound gritty

    #.... ....

    #LONGLIVESTEELO LONGLIVEVARGHAKE!

    #.... ....

    #LONGLIVESTEELO listen to The Finest if you want that old school effect 🙂

  37. S.... C....

    This sound like some old Beatnuts shit

  38. J.... R....

    this just brings an essence of walkin into Workman's outlet...buyin mean streaks and graff tees. You walkin in that store and you'd here this playin, or other underground classics! ✊

  39. A.... ....

    Lyrics for days! Dope AF!

  40. j.... ....

    sickness

  41. E.... O....

    grimey as fuck

  42. G.... R....

    Who spits bars at 2:30?

  43. t.... ....

    "Rhymes rhymes rhymes we got plenty, dimes dimes dimes too many" every time.

    t.... ....

    this is my fave verse, too

    t.... ....

    Every time I hear that line, I imagine myself walking into a room full of people, yelling that for absolutely no reason.

    t.... ....

    Strange, for me personally I don't really like the line, seems such a basic line.

    t.... ....

    @Freddie Havers For me personally it's the energy behind this verse. I wouldn't say this line is necessarily incredible, but the verse is fantastc.

    t.... ....

    I sampled that for a chorus alongside the part on Money Folder when he says, "Beware! Do not touch mic! Be careful!"

  44. b.... ....

    Velvet touch of the velvet tongue.

  45. J.... S....

    sounds like diabolic in the beginning

    J.... S....

    X-Ray got bars

  46. O.... 9....

    beat and delivery is amazing!!

  47. T.... P....

    few things. you probably never thought about these lyrics in a while buts these have been bugging me lol.

    "says dunce, lyrics precise like forensic science." leave you entangled for months

    box sprays "with my box cutter in my boxers"

    Shots sprayed, "holdin cops hostage with rastas"

    its "dimes dimes dimes" not times

    take all they "chips's" the dudes just adding some S's to the end for the sake of the rhyme

    T.... P....

    Box braids* it's a hairstyle

  48. D.... E....

    The flows are... different

    D.... E....

    +iasaqueboleto990 Rodan is my favorite but Megalon can rhyme for years! So can Kong 💯 !

  49. I.... F....

    one of my favorite tracks ever by anyone

    I.... F....

    +Ian Farstad yes! word!

  50. s.... v....

    Fetty wap ad before this video . fml.

    s.... v....

    +Rolando Arroyo im not mad broda.

    s.... v....

    +soolah voidset Know about MC Juice? If you don't, check him out.

    s.... v....

    +Rolando Arroyo aight. check out rejjie snow.

    s.... v....

    I mean it's possible to be fans of multiple artists. I hate Fetty Wap, but I do enjoy Drake and Future as well as dudes like DOOM. They are music for different situations.

    s.... v....

    It's not hip hop tho. Its a watered down version of what was once hip hop.

  51. b.... m....

    Favorite Track off Operation Doomsday!

  52. M.... J....

    Play this album at my funeral yo

    M.... J....

  54. b.... ....

    Kong's flow kills this.

    b.... ....

    +Jacob A. doity

    b.... ....

    +Jacob A. ya, tataly

    b.... ....

    Kong is the illest

  55. s.... s....

    the sampling is genius

  56. M.... J....

    RYHMES RYHMES RYHMES

    M.... J....

    @MIKEY JORDAN Got plenty, DIMES DIMES DIMES too many :)

  57. J.... D....

    King Ceasar is sick

    J.... D....

    Suzie Q what's your Instagram

    J.... D....

    Mac Campbell 😂thirst

    J.... D....

    She ain't even that hot

    J.... D....

    Yeah his verse fucking kills

  58. S.... ....

    Just who the hell do you think I am

  59. A.... K....

    chips's = gangsta term for all the chips

  60. G.... B....

    Emcees be like hoes and say Yeah I told y'all!

  61. A.... M....

    Can someone find me an instrumental of this ?

    A.... M....

    nettle leaves - MF DOOM

    A.... M....

    The original is Eastern market by yusef lateef tho

  62. M.... K....

    The lyrics are way off in the description

  63. C.... W....

    I would love to know who plays Kong....

  64. M.... ....

    Work of art

  65. m.... m....

    This track goes hard

  66. N.... ....

    I NEED MORE FROM THIS FANTASTIC AMERICAN MUSIC!!!!! greetings from East Germany..!

    N.... ....

    mf doom is from London but was raised in new york

    N.... ....

    from London....ok...

    N.... ....

    @Nobby not from but he was born there.they took his greencard away in like 2012 and he had to move back to england after like 40 years in nee york

  67. a.... ....

    that chorus is in two tunes I think: True Thug MC and Who You Think I Am

  68. C.... S....

    Kong murdered this song.

  69. G.... J....

    If your really into quality hip-hop and you don't like this track you need to pretend to appreciate another genre. A simple but tasty sampled beat with a variety of MC's is what it's all about.

  70. s.... ....

    anyone know the name of the so.g where he say who you think I am who you want me to be true thug mc give you my slugs don't wanna take en back and at they end it's like mf blow er brains on the mofuckin table and it's to a way different beat than this

  71. b.... ....

    @ShouldaTapp3d Monsta island czars

  72. D.... ....

    @ShouldaTapp3d
    Monsta Island Czars

  73. c.... j....

    @EtheSoul what does MIC stand for?

  74. T.... ....

    @FreestyleFletcher i dont understand how you can listen to all of those dudes but not like mf doom, you cant say he has no flow its just different than anyone else because hes fucking original, whatever man thats cool ima keep listening to doom maybe one day you will realize how dope he really is, and BY THE WAY mos def and ghostface both consider doom to be one of the greatest. so suck on that, hes your favorite rappers favorite rapper

  75. T.... ....

    @FreestyleFletcher hahahaha ur a fuckin joke man MF DOOM is one of the illest mcs alive maybe your feeble narrow mind is too incompetent to interpret/understand his metaphors and vocabulary, what the fuck kinda gay shit do you listen to

  76. T.... ....

    @FreestyleFletcher are u fucking serious this is like one of the coolest hip hop tracks ive ever heard, any one of these motherfuckers would wreck u in a battle fuck off

    RHYMES RHYMES RHYMES WE GOT PLENTY
