Strange Ways

[Intro]

They stay...

Strange ways..."

[Verse 1: MF DOOM]

Wreak havoc, beep beep it's mad traffic

Sleek and lavish people speak and leak it to the maverick

He see it as just another felony drug arrest

Any day could be the one he pick the wrong thug to test

Slug through the vest, shot in the street

For pulling heat on a father whose baby's gotta eat

And when they get hungry, it ain't shit funny

Paid to interfere with how a brother get his money

Now, who's the real thugs, killers and gangsters?

Set the revolution, let the things bust and thank us

When the smoke clear, you can see the sky again

There will be the chopped off heads of Leviathan

[Interlude: Sample and MF DOOM]

My friend, they call 'em strangers

Anybody talk to him end up in some danger

"They'll never change...

They stay...

Strange ways..."

Can't reform 'em

[Verse 2: MF DOOM]

They pray four times a day, they pray five

Who ways is strange when it's time to survive

Some will go of they own free will to die

Others take them with you when they blow sky high

What's the difference? All you get is lost children

While the bosses sit up behind the desks, it cost billions

To blast humans in half, into calves and arms

Only one side is allowed to have bombs

It's like making a soldier drop his weapon

Shooting him, and telling him to get to stepping

Obviously, they came to portion up his fortune

Sounds to me like that old robbery/extortion

[Interlude: Sample and MF DOOM]

"They'll never change...

They stay..."

Same Game

"Strange ways..."

Ya can't reform 'em

[Outro: Sample]

...that Mary was goin' around with an old flame

That burned me up, because I know he was just feeding her a line!

But the guy really spent his money like water

I think he was connected, so I left

Outside it was raining cats and dogs

I was feelin' mighty blue... and everything looked black

But I carried on!
