[Intro: MF DOOM and samples]
"Hey, let's–"
Yeah, yo, everything counts, positioning, and all that ish...
"Come on!"
Ish gotta be balanced...
"Well..." "Come on!"
"I hear you, let's go!"
"And now... The Nations of the Worlds, brought to you by–"
"Yikes"
[Verse 1: MF DOOM]
It's way too fly, like the ecliptic is fun to see
Remind me of "Hey You Guys!" The Electric Company ("Hey, you guys!")
Big Lil' Sci, I.D., Willabee
And silly me, Villainy, in this ill-built soliloquy
Came through to do the do through the tube ("Come on")
To the groove and confuse your crew like Rubik's Cube ("Yikes!")
The metal mask, face mangled, purple cape
Found a way to smash the triangle through the circle shape
Faster than a team of apes; microphone bandit
Taller than the solar system nine known planet ("Yikes!")
Enough to leave your mind blown, ain't it?
Keep a open mind, don't take things for granted
"DINNINT!" MC's seem to be slushed out
They must be still got the wool over their eyes, like Mushmouth ("Hey!")
It's like a goldrush in the South
For the truth, beyond shadow of a doubt – cut it out
[Verse 2: Inspector Willabee]
Aiyyo, who tapped me? (Who tapped me?) About to get real ill
And still kill two birds with one Subroc when my pen spills ("Yikes!")
Still coolin', chillin', making papers (Papers)
Acting stupid, running capers (Capers)
Acting like Biz, giving skeezers "The Vapors" (Vapors) ("Yikes!")
Now can I remember, or was I really "Dead Bent"? (Bent!)
When this chick tried to get me for all shillings and pence
(Yo, give me all my shillings and pence, right now, right now)
Oh yeah, that makes me think of Sly when he was alive (Live!)
The first cat that took me to the country and before he moved to Now-Y
And I was a little guy, hanging around older cats
With fat dookie ropes and fly Gucci hats ("Hey!")
Fucking around with black shoe polish, writing my name on the wall
My theme through life Slick Rick, "Lick The Balls" ("Lick The Balls!" Yikes)
And here I am with Dumile (Dumile)
The city psycho-social (What?) single, no more, no less, unless I say
Inspect Willa-Dash wigs out
And gets jiggy bling Platinum and swigged out (On what?)
On old Grandad ("Who, me?")
Oh yeah I'm buggin' (Yeah, I'm buggin')
Sorta like when my daughter's mother told me she had a bun in the oven
Aiyyo, don't even try to mess with me to the exit
Messin' around on the mic, I'll leave the rhyme pregnant (Pregnant)
[Hook: Lil' Sci]
"YIKES!"
Whenever we picking up mics it's like "YIKES!"
Whenever we blowing up shows it's like "YIKES!"
Whenever we taking control of our destiny
Taking Hip-Hop to next degree – "YIKES!"
Whenever we picking up mics it's like "YIKES!"
Whenever we blowing up shows it's like "YIKES!"
Whenever we taking control of our destiny
Taking Hip-Hop to next degree "YIKES!"
[Verse 3: Lil' Sci]
("You know who!") Holy smokes!
You don't want to mess with these MCs, 'cause
We've been rhymin' ever since we had "Peachfuzz"
For each of us, it's been a ten year span now
Even back then, I knew one day we'd lay this jam down
Smoother version of 'Return Of The Boom Bap'
M.F. to the Scienz – consider yourself DOOMed, black ("You know!")
Packing mics like chrome piece
Styles stay fat like obese
Whether written or off the dome piece ("Yikes!")
Carbon copy MC's getting real sloppy, y'all
Won't even waste my time going back and forth, like volleyball
Riding tracks like trolley cars
The last thing on my mind is selling my soul, becoming a shining star
(Nahhh!) Can't even consider it
A real tight cat, I'll let a brother know if I ain't feeling it ("Yikes!")
("Really...? You ain't feelin' it?") Not even a little bit
Half these cats trying to pass ignorance for havin'-sense ("Hey!")
But we give them no pity, y'all
Scienz of Life, MF DOOM, down to the titty ball ("Yikes!")
(Yo, what you say?) I said, we give them no pity, y'all
Scienz to the M.F., on down to the titty ball
[Verse 4: ID 4 Windz]
The supersonic ex-villain, 'Six Million' 'Bionic'
Twisted Smirnoff Ice, sipping the liquid tonic
Pull the bubonic tag, the man hunt
Circle dot – now you got to review my microphonics
Do the economics, 4 Windz engulfed in standoff
Burning tags with camfrost, the man's lost
Without a mic pop-a-stoppa, a handoff
We ran raw over tracks
And banned all rappers that's wack ("You know who!")
Scoop the Saturn, loop the drum track
Yo, we live and direct, transmitting text, yo, the pro prospect ("Yikes!")
BX the birth rest, made it first correct
In transmitting, threaten your sound set
System, profound prism, like the Sun solar
Joints are soft like clothes are ("Yikes!")
Performing Arts Director moves like the martyr connector
Reflection rays like Nine Ether the bomb piece
Complete vision, medicate conniption off the rhythm
A wisdom permission admission – cop the LP, listen
4 Windz the all night living a brawl fight
Kicking drum beats, ("Yikes!") spits 'til my lung ribs
Chest expands thunderous
We run in red like stop lights all night
[Interlude]
"That's not normal! I know normal...!"
[Verse 5: Inspector Willabee]
Ain't it funny when I get up in the morning, and I
Jump in the shower, scrub my body, then I get out and dry
Throw on some clothes, all of my oil, then I tie up my locks
Put on my shoes, put on my cap, and leave my door unlocked
Walk down the block, go in the store, and then I get me a drink
Walk over to the park, I sit down on the bench, and I think
How the Sun is shinin' down all up on my face
A nice cool breeze is blowin', and I'm chillin' in space
I'm blowing through the hazy fog, like the exhale of smoke
Awakened out my daydream by my man, he inhaled then choked
It's just a pretty nice day, and I'm feelin' quite fine
Chillin' in my habitat, and I'm submerged in my mind
Then we get up off the streets, and we hit up some stores
We get some incense and dashikis, 'cause I'm goin' on tour
Go to All Eyes On Egypt to get me some books
So I could recitate my prayers and put some jewels in my hooks
So, maybe the next time, maybe the next rhyme
Maybe the next beat? Or maybe the next line!
