Monkey Suite Lyrics

[Verse: MF DOOM]
Villain'll hold a mic like he's mean and his tummy hurt
In a clean pair of ripped jeans and a bummy shirt
Wonderin'. would you clap your hands if he was friendly?
Dapper Dan dipped in pretend to be Fendi and gold sellin'

No tellin', slap a fan hand down, tell 'em, "No yellin'"
DOOM, all capitals, no trick spellin'
Got what it take to get it through your thick melon
Woopoosh— Fresh witty city skits
When he get reck, pretty MCs catch titty fits
Told 'em call the cops, just don't hold your breath for the ball to drop
Better yet, hold on to your halter top
Kept reppin', steppin' in hotter
Ignoring pigs like Biggs Top Shotta
Survivor of a live crew, not out to jive you
It stings when he laugh when he at the bank drive-through
Wildin', get me every red penny
Sold a lonely only child an imaginary enemy
When he sees the mask and the microphone gizmo
He's the broke host, this is like his own quiz show
This go out to all my brothers doing long bids
And sisters who got brothers bein' fathers to the wrong kids

Stay strong and ride like the funky flute
Won't find the Villain in the street inside no monkey suit
Or either at the bar in no gorilly bra
Nor raceway park scoring on no silly car
Ask the stranger, he knows who you really are
Behind the mask, face stay dark, no boring willy star
Gleaming, dreaming, screaming, he'll be off the heezy soon
Cunning live rats drive at your steaming greasy spoon
In participating places, tip your waitresses
A sure-fire way to wire-trip the matrices

Skip your laces, all black tennis miniature
Ball stack, gall tall pack, Guinness minister
Tussle the hustle, cut your dank with dirt
Won't be in the club in no muscle tank shirt
You could find him in the pub with a grub stain
Chuggin' on a small tub of pain to his bugged brain
Sane, some say he plum crazy
Amazed at how he still get paid, but dumb lazy
That's for him to know and for you to guess

Won't be caught in a suit vest at no computer desk
A suede front maybe, may stunt khaki dig
Not in no braids or no lace-front yaki wig

How to Format Lyrics:
