Retarded Fren lyrics
by JJ DOOM
[Intro: sample]
"As night fell in Viberia..."
[Verse: MF DOOM]
An honest day’s work for a honest day’s pay
Stay takin' wages the anonymous way
Commish', paid to the Amish, sellin'
Promise me Gold Bond, palm itch swellin'
With no tact though, ipso facto
Wonderin' in pictures why his lips is so black, yo!
No question, an ounce of prevention
Is more than a pound of raw cure pure intention
Attention! No throwin' stones at the homeless
Or else ye ye'self may end up with your dome blessed
Chrome dust, nano-sized barnacles
Stop tellin' codes to the YouTube, retarded fools!
Defeats the purpose
Greedily slurp up the surplus, and burp puss
So nervous, you can hear the shirt must gush
Hush, hush – trust
Villain, 'til the Earth-crust bust
Self-defense – think it’s not real,
Up until you blink twice and feel the hot steel
Take it how you want it – fake it, or flaunt it
Need to put some brakes on it – shake it, doggone it!
Dead drop, leave it right there
Chop it off, heads bop, breathe it like air
Ya hear?! Studied the Devil
Played the game, and choose to do so on a bloody level
Who sent him? Steady losin' momentum
O. eat a rapper one-a-day like Centrum
The mask is like a Gundam, dumb-dumb, um...
And it don’t matter where you come from, ya bum!
What happens when the poles shift?
Won’t matter for sh*t who you roll with
Cold and stiff, hold her if
If in case you need her face, lips, soul, or gifts
Rip it like space-time fold, fo' the rift
The Sun still shines in the mornin'
He ain’t promisin' more, but it's definitely scorchin'
Like a iceball, off-guard, soft, hard
Ask him, do he give an "F," like report card?
Out-spit em’ like Jonah
Add bonuses, intel suggests they had no cojones-es
On this microphone business, it’s slaughter
That’s on his three pre-mature daughters' aortas
The thought was, uh– quarters, halfs, wholes'll roll,
Like good times, sold like good dimes
It’s just begun to began to begin to end
To start back again for smarter men and women...
...and their forgotten retarded fren'
[Outro: sample]
"Oh, you can give the brother a seat, wherever
Oh, you can cut it back on, we––
You can cut back it on – ...you got it back on?
You want to go outside, you want to come back or whatever? You know...
Yeah, that's–you know, sometimes standing up like that, you know, just–you know...
You know–you know, or whatever, get you some water or whatever,
Just come on back, brother... you know
Okay – so, now – what they're actually saying, that, in actuality–you see what I'm saying?–they have produced the greatest projects around the country even more
You understand what I'm saying?
You hear what I'm saying? You feel what I'm saying?"
