Sniper Elite Lyrics

[Verse 1: DOOM]
To the head
The new June Moon shootin' on a Blue Lagoon
Shoo, as DOOM zooms in on a Platoon
(Zing!) Sniper Elite
Swipe 'em off his feet on this type of heat beat
Stranger on a solo misflow dolo
Paid, played the position by the poles glow
Heard it on the TV promo
Swear it ain't me in the P.E. Logo
Remote control in his overcoat Polo
Go for broke, get the dough, float on the go-go (Heh)
Hopes and praise out of phase with the
Straight through the middle crews hate the new riddle, too
Late too little, Operation Doomsday complete
On Jump street dump the heat

[Verse 2: DOOM]
Vil, one shot, one kill
Spotted him, got his off the top, done deal

Spill your guts, they say they said the Don dead good
You could ask the dread in your hood or John Ed Wood
The truth is in the verse not on the bottle bottom
Black devils is the worst, first you gotta spot 'em
Ain't never get stuck on their boats
And don't give a fuck if he gettin' their votes
At most he may exchange pleasantries
Really don't go for the sex change energies
Or Ben 'n' Jerry's berries
Friends with make pretend fairies who take men's cherries
Just don't boycott his shit
The fake first amendment foils the plot, mischievous midget

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

Another Dilla beat released posthumously

J-Dilla on the beat. Doom on the mic.

The song is basically a story of DOOM rising to the top of the rap game. In the beginning he knows hes a pro lyricist so he goes after a group of fake MC’s (Blue Lagoon) and owns them. he battles more people until the final mission. then he has to worry about black record label executives acting like they are looking out for doom but just want to take advantage of him.

Track is from “Unexpected Guests”, a mixtape he released late 2009.
