About Tick, Tick...
Originally released as one-half of an MF Grimm solo 12" on Fondle ‘Em, this Doom-produced track was included in the latter’s 1999 "OPERATION: DOOMSDAY". The song’s title is in reference to the tick of a metronome, as the tempo is constantly changing throughout. This track samples the song “Glass Onion” by The Beatles. .
Tick, Tick... Lyrics
[00:02.67] You know when you gon' come in?
[00:04.99] Nobody will never ever, ever, really, really know
[00:08.36] Because the more you know, the more you know that you don't know shit!
[00:12.06] Niggas'll never run out of shit!
[00:14.84] So much shit, so much scripts through here, niggas never run out of shit
[00:21.14] It's another roller coaster ride
[00:24.37]
[00:28.11] Walk the path of Jesus, witness if Hell freezes
[00:31.48] The mind teases reality, crack the pieces
[00:34.64] Nothing eases; being chastise with blood baptize
[00:38.80] Guys revise, acknowledge past lives
[00:41.24] Statements will be made, acknowledge me
[00:43.99] My mind is Heaven's gate so enter me
[00:47.01] My mind is the gate to Hell, so try to flee
[00:50.17] Both gates look the same, which will it be?
[00:53.76] Demons scream from thought process
[00:56.77] Enter semen, child born, stress
[00:59.72] Body want to sleep but the mind can't rest
[01:02.96] Measure pleasure through financial progress
[01:06.34] When it come to currency, love is nonexistent
[01:09.12] Foes multiply, friends become so distant
[01:12.24] Some hope you die, backstab in an instant
[01:15.41] Foes I despise, disguised as allies
[01:18.31] To sabotage, camouflage
[01:20.41] Loyalty is lies
[01:21.62] To see God, look into my eyes
[01:24.14] To see the Devil, then you look into my eyes
[01:27.89] (As I rise from Hell's equator)
[01:30.88] 'Cause I'ma slow it up, speed it up, slow it up, speed it up
[01:34.38] Metal Fingers feed beats, Grimm Reaper eat 'em up
[01:37.35] Speed 'em up, slow 'em up, speed 'em up, slow it up
[01:40.60] Brainsick, tick, tick, tick, MF blow it up
[01:43.94] Slow it up, speed it up, slow it up, speed it up
[01:46.84] Metal Fingers feed beats, Grimm Reaper eat it up
[01:49.86] Speed it up, slow it up, speed it up, slow it up
[01:53.20] Brainsick, tick, tick, tick, MF blow it up
[01:56.38] Take air, compress it, bless it
[01:58.51] Mix loops like Ku Klux
[02:00.09] MF don't give two fucks
[02:02.07] Nigga, quarterback blitz, popped, quickly fumble
[02:05.54] Leave game with concussion, seeing stars and mumbles
[02:08.99] This happens to any emcee that wants to rumble
[02:11.90] Dynasties destroyed like Carringtons and Colbys
[02:14.93] Noise, reduced, MF thinks in Dolby
[02:18.21] Chop that ass in half like Obi-Wan Kenobi
[02:21.56] Greatest of all time, God straight up told me
[02:24.50] Greatest of all time, the Devil even told me
[02:27.18] Icicles on surfaces of sun, we livin' coldly
[02:31.20] Prophets be phony
[02:33.64] And we attack, we switch like the Wu Tang symbol
[02:36.90] Still kill Jack even though quick and nimble, plain and simple
[02:40.92] Pick niggas off while they ballin'
[02:43.69] And die old like Stalin
[02:45.82] Yes, Death, I hear you callin', I accept collect
[02:49.53] Human sacrifice, must pay respect
[02:52.10] We catch reck, nigga, we catch reck
[02:55.73] And we gonna, gonna
[02:59.16] Slow it up, speed it up, slow it up, speed it up
[03:02.10] Metal Fingers feed beats, Grimm Reaper eat 'em up
[03:05.23] Speed 'em up, slow 'em up, speed 'em up, slow it up
[03:08.42] Brainsick, tick, tick, tick, MF blow it up
[03:11.86] Boom
