Dead on Arrival Lyrics

[Intro]
Super motherfuckin' villain, chillin'
We out to get these millions
We chillin'
Ayy, yo, this chick tried to tell him
"Ooh, you're like the sun
Chasin' all of the pain away
When you come around
You bring brighter days"
She told me
"You're the perfect one
Me and you, forever we'll be"
I told her
"I will rock this microphone, always"


[Verse]
"Ayy, yo, STEEZ, what you cookin' up?"
Niggas wanted trouble with the troublesome
So I went ahead and doubled up
Momma always said you better hustle if you wanted lunch
Ain't no such thing as runner-up
From M.I.A. to D.O.A
It's no games but I know my CD gon' play

And with everything I do, it's PE all day
That's D-O-P-E so them fiends gon' pay (Shit)

Son is always outshinin' 'em
The high from the squadron that was hidin' in the lion's den
Sleepin', countin' all the sheep to start a riot, but
They ain't even know I had a shot like silencers
You get the mental picture?
World cup flow, I can't kick it with ya
Nah, I'm kiddin' with ya
Ask your little sister
Jay STEEZ on his grind like benefactors
It's the Steyraz comin' through your 8-track
Play that, but keep it low key, a flat
Lay flat when the war comes
Aesop Rock meets swing jazz and gym class
So PE be them supervillains
Groupies flockin' at the concerts just to boost they image
So you spent it on these stupid women
Out buyin' whores shoes like True Religion and superstition
Niggas wanna picture me gone
Like when Biggie went to war with Mr. Shakur

Lyrical spawn with a little twisted Jigga and Nas
But I was born to deliver like umbilical cords
Fuck what you heard, this is an eargasm
Classic, feel-good rappinm
Magnum saliva like salvia, I'm spittin' up spasms
Based God trippin' off acid

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
