About Doomsday

"Doomsday" is from MF DOOM's debut studio album Operation: Doomsday, released in 1999. The song contains samples from Kiss of Life by Sade and Poetry by Boogie Down Productions. DOOM explains in XXL Magazine: "[This song was] a while ago, so I’m trying to remember what inspired it. It’s really just normally what I’d be talking about. I kinda do bragging rap. I do the kind of hip-hop where the MC is more pointing out things and accentuating certain things that have been forgotten at some stage. .

Doomsday Lyrics

[00:00.09] Mic check
[00:02.42]
[00:11.43] When I was led to you
[00:16.20] I knew you were the one for me
[00:20.63] Come through dig the sound
[00:21.64] I swear the whole world could feel you MC
[00:28.09] Crowd around
[00:31.98] I used to cop a lot
[00:32.85] But never copped no drop
[00:34.29] Hold mics like pony tails, tight and bob a lot
[00:37.33] Stop and stick around
[00:38.47] Come through and dig the sound
[00:39.56] Of the fly brown six-o sicko psycho who throws his dick around
[00:42.35] Bound to go three-plat
[00:43.34] Came to destroy rap
[00:44.55] It's a intricate plot of a b-boy strap
[00:46.64] Femstat cats get kidnapped
[00:48.71] Then release a statement to the press - let the rest know who did that
[00:51.86] Metal Face terrorists claim responsibility
[00:54.37] Broken household name usually said in hostility
[00:57.32] Um... what... MF, you silly
[00:59.39] I'd like to take "Mens to the End" for two milli'
[01:01.75] "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!" That's a audio daily double
[01:04.32] Rappers need to fall off just to save me the trouble, yo
[01:06.64] Watch your own back
[01:07.91] Came in and go out alone, black
[01:09.38] Stay in the zone - turn H2O to Cognac
[01:11.90] On Doomsday!
[01:13.30] Ever since the womb til I'm back where my brother went
[01:16.10] That's what my tomb will say
[01:16.93] Right above my government, Doom will lay
[01:19.54] Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who's to say?
[01:21.98] I wrote this one in B.C. D.C. O-section
[01:24.35] If you don't believe me, go get bagged and check then
[01:27.14] Cell number 17, up under the top bunk
[01:29.41] I say this not to be mean, wish bad luck or pop junk
[01:31.99] Pop the trunk on See-Cipher-Punk, leave him left scraped
[01:34.52] God forbid, if there ain't no escape, blame MF tape
[01:37.28] Definition "super-villain": a killer who love children
[01:39.76] One who is well-skilled in destruction, as well as building
[01:41.92] While Sidney Sheldon teaches the trife to be trifer
[01:44.31] I'm trading science fiction with my man the live lifer
[01:46.82] A pied piper holler a rhyme, a dollar and a dime
[01:49.49] Do his thing, ring around the white collar crime
[01:52.18] Get out my face, askin' about my case, need toothpaste
[01:54.65] Fresher mint, monkey-style nigga get dentadent
[01:57.04] And dope fiends still in they teens, sniggas turn witness
[02:00.02] Real mens mind their own business
[02:02.06] That's the difference between sissy-pissy rappers that's double-dutch
[02:05.31] How come I hold the microphone double-clutch
[02:07.28] C.O.'s make rounds, never have found
[02:09.46] On shakedown, lock-down, wet dreams of Fox' Brown
[02:12.29] On Doomsday!
[02:13.35] Ever since the womb until
[02:14.89] I'm back where my brother went
[02:16.13] That's what my tomb will say
[02:17.36] Right above my government, Doom will lay
[02:19.96] Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who's to say
[02:22.72] Doomsday
[02:23.56] Every since the womb until
[02:24.75] I'm back to the essence
[02:25.93] Read it off the tomb
[02:27.19] Either engraved or unmarked grave, who's to say
[02:29.74] Pass the mic like "Pass the peas like they used to say"
[02:32.39] Some M-er F-ers don't like how Sally walk
[02:34.92] I'll tell y'all fools it's hella cool how ladies from Cali talk
[02:37.14] Never let her interfere with the Yeti ghetto slang
[02:39.88] Nicknames
[02:40.56] Off nipple and tip of nipples, metal fang
[02:42.34] Known amongst hoes for the bang-bang
[02:44.53] Known amongst foes for flow with no talking orangutangs
[02:47.59] Only gin and Tang
[02:48.75] Guzzled out a rusty tin can
[02:50.55] Me and this mic is like yin and yang
[02:52.57] Clang! Crime don't pay, listen, youth
[02:55.02] It's like me holding up the line at the kissing booth
[02:57.41] I took her back to the truck, she was uncouth
[03:00.01] Spittin' all out the sunroof, through her missing tooth
[03:02.74] But then she has a sexy voice, sound like Jazzy Joyce
[03:05.26] So I turned it up faster than a speeding knife
[03:08.03] Strong enough to please a wife
[03:09.42] Able to drop today's math in the 48 keys of life
[03:12.53] Cut the crap far as rap
[03:14.41] Touch the mic, get the same thing a Arab will do to you for stealing
[03:17.97] What the devil
[03:18.72] He's on another level
[03:20.03] It's a word! No, a name! MF - the super-villain!
[03:24.28]
[03:53.14] When I was led to you
[03:57.28] I knew you were the one for me
[04:02.45] I swear the whole world could feel you MC
[04:09.15]
