[Dept. of Rec., MF DOOM - 12 Steps 'Til Doom lyrics]
Dept of Rec ft mF DOOM - "12 Steps 'Til Doom"
OK, the first mistake you made
Was opening your mouth
And when the piehole expanded
Another kid came out
Through original repping
With new styles verbatim
Secondly, you sniffing me is known
For feeding the style didn’t bother
Wasn’t worth the while to take a timeout
Basically, you took your rhyme out
Written on paper
The same rap you used before
The same rap you’ll use later
You’re just playing you like your father be
Like when he be on some, "Get out of here
Kid you bother me"
Like an old dog, no new tricks, please
He needs a quick fix to ease
These hoes his dick’s teased by high noon
We’ll see who got the quicker draw
Twist up a sycamore from door
To the liquor store
Hell and back who got the dro? I got the L
Black emailing Adam 12 and tell him
"Bring the twelve pack"
I’ll watch you take your first step
(follow with eleven) twelve steps ‘til doom
(twelve steps ‘til destruction)
I’ll watch you take your first step
(follow with eleven) twelve steps ‘til doom
(twelve steps ‘til destruction)
Another mad important aspect you
Be lacking is
Controlling your intake of oxygen
When you’re rapping basically, you hacking
Far from clear passages
Like you ran a marathon while having asthma
Speak the destruction when you
Ain’t saying nothing entertaining to read
But trying to explain something
Science terminology, there’s no creativity
Absolutely devoid of all originality
No matter how hard you try
You can’t shift the sinners
Some cats get it like
The opening night jitters
Or maybe not this flow is like a rabies shot
To hip hop rappers is on
My nerves like Baby Bop
This style I keep piled up
The type of shit, when I spit it
It get the crowd riled up
On stage, still got it and nice with mine
With a potbelly like Captain
Kirk for Priceline
It’s clear you aged in mind
That you’re back here
Happening trends cause distaste
From last year’s
Wardrobe you spent figuring more so
Than actually practicing on rap
Styles and more flows
Now you go ten levels deep for your weak show
But your lines ran wrong that’s
What the snare is for
That’s what the drums there
For heard of basslines
That pace time? I guess not
That’s why you waste mine
Me and the mic is like
Best of friends like the
Egghead cat in class who never
Stresses when the test end
Root for the home team, shoot for the dome
Gleam he’s so clean not only with
Term but roam the scene
Of the rhymes i suspect foul play
Plain as day is how, now, "Brown cow
" I’ll say
Nowaday example how we stay ill as Illadelph
It’s only the end of the world chill
Don’t kill yourself
Ayyo, I’ll watch you take your first step
(follow with eleven) twelve steps ‘til doom
(twelve steps ‘til destruction)
I’ll watch you take your first step
(Follow these instructions)
Twelve steps ‘til doom
(fuck up your functions)
Ayyo, I’ll watch you take your first step
(follow with eleven) twelve steps ‘til doom
(twelve steps ‘til destruction)
Ayyo, we’ll watch you take your first step
(follow with eleven) twelve steps ‘til doom
(twelve steps ‘til destruction)
