Money Folder Lyrics

[Intro]
The villain took on many forms...

[Verse 1]
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
After you, who's last? It's DOOM, he's the worst known

That'll have your boom blown or either thirst bone
Rock it to 'em, burst clone, just don't curse the throne

Own his own microphone, bring it everywhere he go
So he can bring it to you live in stere-ere-o

Pan it, can't understand it, ban it
The underhanded ranted, planned it and left 'em stranded

The best, any who profess will be remanded
Yes sir, request permission to be candid? Granted
I don't think we can handle a style so rancid
He flipped it like Madlib, did a old jazz standard


[Verse 2]
Don't mind me, I wrote this rhyme lightly
Off of two or three Heines, and boy was they fine, G
One black, one Spanish, one Chinese
It keeps the woody shiny year-round like a pine tree

Don't sign me, I'm about to get a mil' without 'em
Crowd him off the shelf, he's the villain, and what about him?

So, and he's a jerk and you don't know him
Mad how he expand work but won't show 'em

Poor guys, what a sight for old, sore four-eyes
Now hook me with two apple pies and a small fries

All rise, so far odd as a ruple
So raw, break it down and make quadruple

It's crucial, you could see it in his pupil
And this time when he get it he'll waste it on somethin' useful

Like getting juiced off a deuce-deuce of Coqui
Keep it low key, known to pull a okey-dokey
Silly Goose, DOOM is too jokey

Damn he could really use a room or a ho key
Egads, he got enough styles to start three fads
True dat, she bad, I wonder do she come with kneepads
What a call, what a real butterball
Either I get a strike or strike out, gutterball

Rock it like gear for the fall
With nice inside pockets, prepare for the brawl
Yeah y'all you could say its an earful
Beware, do not touch mic, be careful

And just like he said, I could'a told ya
MF, the holder of a boulder; money folder
It ain't funny, nigga
Money folder

Genius Annotation

“Money Folder” has DOOM rapping about a few different topics, however the overarching theme, as we see in the outro, is about the value in DOOM’s music, which he compares to the value of money.

The song was released as a single for the album in 2003, along with the track “America’s Most Blunted”.

The title of the track, as well as the closing line in the second verse, comes from a KRS-ONE line from the Boogie Down Productions song “South Bronx”:

KRS-One is the holder of a boulder, money folder.
