MF DOOM - Deep Fried Frenz lyrics

Before we go any further friends

As you call 'em
They call you when they need something
Trees for the bluntin'
To G's for the frontin'
I found a way to get peace of mind
For years and left the hell alone
Turn a deaf ear to the cellular phone
Send me a letter or better
We could see each other in real life
Just so you could feel me like a steel knife
At least so you could see
The white of they eyes bright with surprise
Once they finish spitting lies
Associates, is your boys, your
Girls, bitches, niggas, homies
Close, or really don't know me
Mom, dad, comrade, peeps
Brothers, sisters, duns, dunnies
Some come around when they need some money


Others make us laugh like the Sunday funnies
Fam be around whether you paid or bummy
You could either ignore this advice
Or take it from me
Be too nice and people take you for a dummy
So nowadays, he ain't so friendly
Actually they wouldn’t even made
A worthy enemy
Read the signs: "No feeding the baboons"
Seein' as how they got ya back
Bleeding from the stab wounds
Y'all know the dance, they smile in ya face
Y'all know the glance
Try to put 'em on, they blow the chance
Never let your so-called mans know your plans
(How many of us have them?) A show of hands
(Friends) is a term some people use loosely
I'm real choosy on what I
Choose to let crew see
You telling me I try to act broke
Jealousy the number one killer
Among black folk
Fellas be under some type of
Spell like crack smoke
Ghetto Cinderellas lead 'em right
To your stack, loc
Just another way a chick'll lead to your end
I checked the dictionary for
The meaning of friend
It said: "person one likes to socialize with
Sympathizer, helper"
And that's about the size of it
Most of the time these
Attributes is one-sided
To bolster the crime
They're apt to shoot you through your eyelid
And they can't hide it
Going wild like a white bitch
Sometimes ya need to cut niggas
Off like a light switch
(Flick) And when things get quiet
Catch 'em like a thief in the night
What a riot
I first met Mr fantastik at a arms deal
Don't let it get drastic
Think of how your moms'll feel
When it get for real, steel get to sparkin'
Everything darken, it ain't no talkin'
For somethin' so cheap
It sure buys a lot of trouble
Ya better off focusing than tryin'
To plot to bubble
Or else it'd be a sad note to end on
The guns we got is
(One's we can depend on, friends)
Some come in the form of co-dependents
A lot of times only
End up being co-defendants
Ten bucks say they tell for a lower sentence
And leave you up under the jail
Begging for repentance
It don't make no sense
What happened to the loyalty?
Honor amongst crooks, trust among royalty
I'd rather go out in a blaze
Than give 'em the glory
(How many of us have) a similar story?
(Friends) before lovers
We used to have some type of over-standing
Just so when I let her get the man thing
She know it's no strings
We could do the damn thing
But ho, it's no rings
Just how the tramp swings
Will she see him again? That depends on
"How good was the skins?" and
"Could she memorize the lessons?"
It ain't no need to pretend
Even though she let him stab it
She know they're just friends

Friends how many of us have them?
Friends ones we can depend on?
Friends how many of us have them?
Friends before we go any further

Fellas! Don't be silly! I know
Who my friends are!
And the next nice neighborhood I move into
You guys'll get crack'
(Negro humor always escaped me)

The most powerful
The most mysterious monarch in all the world
Guided by a fighting force that never sleeps
That never relaxes it's vigilance
For none is as feared, none has as many foes
As DOOM, the awesome armorclad lord of
I know who Doom is (Then tell us)
He happens to be the most
Dangerous man in the world
I’d hope we’d never hear from him
I’d hope we’d never have to battle him
But now the worst has happened and I
Must tell you what we’re up against
I first met DOOM years ago
When he wanted to be alone
Alone to pursue his forbidden experiments
One day while conducting a secret experiment

Instead of having learned his lesson
DOOM was bitter, angry, vengeful

My face, it is hideous
He traveled the world
Seeking a cure for his disfigured face
(I’m sorry sir
There is nothing we can do for you)
He traveled through remote villages
Where strangers are seldom seen
He continued his search
Never showing his face
Unless threatened by bandit's who
Prey on travelers who foolishly wander alone
Through their domain
