The Mask

[Intro: The Nova Local sample] Is it much, too much to ask Not to hide behind the mask? [Verse 1: MF DOOM] Head on straight, mask on crooked Exit stage left, with the cash gone, took it Off like a khufi, the fit was a bit doofy He tried to get screwy, with that two for you One two for me, G, cut the cranky attitude Wet 'em like a handkerchief on a stanky fatter dude Whether you's a rapper or a dang singer Once you in, there's only one way out, like a gangbanger With a new crew key chain and street name What set do he claim for fame? Peep game Just to keep feta and stay dipped You need it like a letter, or better a getaway whip This old thing's rusted Encrusted as the gold rings the old kings busted Planning in, global starvation and fat herb Now what in tarnation did I go and do that for? Stuff happens, like getting snuffed for tough tit rappings See I told him enough, quit your yapping The same apply to any and all chumps The only question he had for y'all was, "How many lumps? Three or four?" Either or Mon chéri amour so why you need your heater for? The SuperVillain slid in your party for free Wanna emcee? Get out of here, kid, you bother me [Verse 2: Ghostface Killah] The day I took my mask off, my face was missing for two days For the record, G, came back a year later Whole new identity, Tony Starks pedigree My money green like my nickname was Celery Who is Ghost who flashed his toast? Never wore sheets, but bulletproof coats Oh no! The feds cried for the mask back on Told them Ghost is dead, he'll return at the crack of dawn Few years from now, him and his pals before the Jetson era arrived He'll be back summertime 2005 With a half of face iron The other half water, look like alien science In the summertime here, you can see the face boil But the other side, I keep lubed with the Pennzoil Mad loyal (Uh-huh), when the winter time come (What?) I gets stuck 'cause my brain all numb Like I ate a thousand ICEE's and frozen Pepsi's Aquaman's pops can't water check me Disrespect me (Yo), indirectly (Yo) I seen his feet and they both lefty, he steppin' half correctly As I stroll the globe and terrorize the planet With a Bill Clinton mask and them Playskool hammers Me and DOOM, always be the best on the landing Superheroes for life until our souls vanish [Outro: Brak & Zorak] Check me out, my name is Brak and that's a fact I got a mom and a dad and they are out back We sit by the pool and we nibble on snacks Then we eat a big lunch and we all take naps! Why'd the beat stop? Hey! Hey! I got a mask too so give me the mic! Cheh! You're no DOOM C'mon Danger Mouse, gimme that beat! Turn the beat around! Love to hear percussion! You suck! Turn it upside down! Love to hear it... I know talent, and you ain't got it I wasn't done!
