DOOM Mechanics (A Tribute to MF DOOM)

by Glow Mechanics

/

lyrics

Livin on borrowed time
Ticks off quicker than expected
I'm hip to it, I ain't no freshman
Flow more toxic than that old asbestos
Huffed with the same lungs he holds the cess with

Metalface masquerades like the recluse next door
Last trick, what you think he'd save the best for?

First thought: holy shit. Second thought: Wait, hold up, how long's he been dead for?

That shit's one heck of a head trip
Was it actually him or just one of his henchmen?

Style dusty as moon rocks
Givin yall nothin but the squeeze like tube socks
Got more lyrics than the church got paedo's
DOOM hurled bricks like half of Shaq's free throws

I-C-E cold, didn't get to be old
But made other rappers sound boring as B roll
Lo and behold, a whole generation of cats who claim a suppervillain as their he-ro

Can I get a 8 bar of silence?
Put one up for the masked Face of Defiance
When he changed lanes he type swerved
& I love Madlib but I need some Special Herbs…

---

Scared of the fuckin mic - you gotta move
Order your favorite rapper, hand em to DOOM
Metal mask is soaked in gasoline, it's potent
We haven't heard the last from him. Well, here's to hopin.

Rhymes had a wide reach, it's verbal buckshot
No rest, time to reconvene with Subroc
Kaboom. DOOM will be looming large until the earth is hurled violently into a burning star

After that there's still the essence. Taking a fuckin lashing if you ever disrespect him
First time I heard Madvillainy, had to pull over. Smoke and ate the hash, couldn't stomach sober
I just couldn't comprehend it. That shit is a flat circle, timeless, never ending

KMD to Bandana, Op DOOM to present day
Spit in the face of convention, a renegade's renegade
What more can I say? RIP villain, have a nice day.
