MF DOOM - Caskets lyrics

[Intro] Young blood, he's smart and he's tough But he's got a lot to learn about survival And the man he's gonna learn from is... Doom! [Verse 1: MF DOOM] Uh, lay in the cut like a puma on the prowl The right time to get 'em is now, clow That's the end of that, beginning of a never-ending saga Of how he gets it in like Kamagra Cheers here's a lager, yours is O'Doul's These are from the untold rules of the old school It's like a woolah what it do to one's medulla oblongata Revenge of Montezuma on a blotter (Yo, this track's off the rack DOOM) It's that clack clack boom Like what's contained in a square centimeter of the vacuum When lava rock cool who play the block fool Villain get paid laid back like chacmool Enough to make Pac drool wherever he at Invest wealth, impress self check ace stat Damn mask gets stickier than crack sweat In the corner pocket that's gained some aspect (Casket) and yet still blow like gasket Many a** out, no clout, no smash hit And that's it, plan B, let the tools spark Plan A's a shoe-in, straight shootin' like a pool shark Rack 'em up, just don't quit your old job Small trolls whose type slob on poll blog You know you done f**ed up now, like O-Dog the menace It's all love, play tennis The mic is the shotty, forget about the flack vest They hustle is backwards, whack -- it's tactless That don't count, chickens before they hatch in the basket Body beats, closed casket Bishop! [Verse 2: Bishop Nehru] I'm moving with the all black tactic Black kicks, black jeans, black jacket matchin' I'm pulling 21s like I'm using black magic And they thinking that I am because the quality's fantastic They told me I should focus on scholastics And others told me focus on elastic I'm using both of those as a tactic As I mix it with my pa**ion for the rappin' To think I could have been trappin' I'm happy I wasn't trapped in The loop de loop and shootin' I'm moving through the mind pollution, tryna find solution But I'm only closer to dilution The illusions are leading me to delusion I'm sick of being confused and I don't have much of a fuse So I lack getting amused, feeling actively abused More days of the blues, I'm waiting on the clues Alone as I cruise through life and all its waters Must have hit some ice-bergs because its feeling like torture It's H-O-R-S-E, I'm Jordan, in '96 I'm sinking everything man, still I'm playing for the chips So basically, I'm saying I'm sinking my own ship You can think what you want cause your thoughts ain't important I'm feeling blanker than a CD ROM And all I ever wanted was for them to see these rhymes They telling me be patient, I ain't got the time Cause I'm seeing trash rappers getting over night shine While I'm still behind, and they ask why I whine Is it because I'm living off the thoughts in my mind Or is it I'm just living because nobody is complying I see that I'm inspiring the moves of these sirens But how could I be vibrant? Only thing I'm close to is violence So hurry up and cue all the violins Looking from a vile lens Ever since the girl I was eyeing for prom Ain't wanna tag along, it's something that I long But I understand the order though Life's like a big playbook full of audibles You never know the working play until you go toss a few Packing rappers in caskets your boy Nehru [Outro] So the first thing you're gonna have to do If you decide that you're going to be Someone who thrives in times of hardship And there are always those who thrive in times of hardship, aren't there? There are those who survive epidemics There are those who thrive in hard times In other words, we want you to step back far enough You know how when you're in your airplane And you're looking across the landscape High in the sky, 500 miles an hour, 50 thousand feet in the sky And you look down, and it all looks pretty calm Down there, doesn't it Put it on the ground at that speed, not so calm We're encouraging you to take flight We're encouraging you to ba- ba- back up from it Get a longer view and understand it It is not possible for things to get worse in a universe that is expanding But, this is something that you may begin to notice As contrast exists, and it always will And as everything is expanding, including contrast As contrast becomes more, then asking becomes more And when asking becomes more, and resistance stays strong Then more people beat themselves up by not going with the flow That's all you're seeing right now But when you, as an individual, who can't control what the others do Let loose of your own resistance and go with the flow Then you become one who experiences immediate thriving Now this is the part about something you're going to have to learn to do during this interim It's just a few months You have to decide that you don't care what others think of you
