I Hear Voices Pt. 1 (12" Version) lyrics
by Madlib
[Fantastic Four Intro – only on the Sub Verse edition "Album Version"]
[Invisible Girl] "It's DOOM! His image is on the television screen, he came right on in the middle of--"
[Thing] "DOOM?!? But I thought--"
[DOOM] "You thought I was done for, aye? But you're wrong, I'm very much alive!"
[Reed] "We can see that! What do you want?"
[DOOM] "Silence! Silence, I say! All of you –– listen to me..."
[12"/Video Version Intro: MF DOOM, singing]
Out in the street...
You won't survive with... wack-ass beats...
These days and times...
Watch how we get our's with rhymes!
[Verse: MF DOOM]
To my Metal Face bros with stomachs of cast iron
Who been in it to win it and blast to the last siren
On the slow-mo, the con artist with the so-so chick
Chased them all, like how he did to Slobodan Milosevic
Anyhoo – how 'bout them Yankees?
Once I leave off-stage, the party people thanks mee's
If I may speak freely –
Nasty like the freaky-deeky at your local sleazy speakeasy
For any fan of the limelight
In the mic stand was left a lit stick of dynamite
It's risky business, like hand-to-hand crack sale
Or rappers who's better off on the cover of 'Black Tail'
Jumpin Jehoshaphat! Who's that –
Who cats who do magic be like, "Tell me how you do's that!"?
Heck no, especially those who cop pleas like Gecko
Let go the mic, do techno
Ha ha, bet'cha bust out laughing at the vet
For no reason, he get cussed out like Tourette's
Yet tight flow to make her bad ass stutter
Or even crack a smile from a mad fast cutter
But, uh... wordplay since third grade age
Back when we used to play "Bang! Open Bird Cage"
Hip-Hop Benny Hill, sip Henny straight, get every penny, wait–
Then he chill; at any rate –
My Metal Face hoes with tongue or 'least eye ring
Do yourself, I will continue to do my thing
Like "Kung-Fu Fighting," everybody was biting
Then the Super-Villain struck again like lightning
In the same spot (bzzz!) – now what's the chance of that?
And a name drop like "Pick the name out the hat"
Thats a no-jiver from the liver conniver
Who vote player out the rap game like 'Survivor', while I –
Drop degrees like a nerd cat, willy intense speech
From way back, and spin on your back and then freeze
While I play high-ball, low-ball, to zero
So-called rhymers – go call Cleo
While I– steal the show, like, "Thought so, try hikin'"
Super-duper stars need Ortho Tri-Cyclen
Sometimes the men, mostly from the women
I hear voices saying "That's the Super-Villain!"
(Uhh... I hear voices)
Mostly from the women, I hear voices...
Super-Villain
[Fantastic Four Outro – Sub Verse "Album Version" only]
[Invisible Girl] "That was him!"
[Thing] "What are you gunna do – go back in and shoot him down?!?"
{*punching sound fx*}
[Thing] "Ya gotta hand it to ole DOOM – he can sure think up the weirdies!"
[DOOM] "I'll turn you all to statues! With liquid titanium steel!"
[DOOM] "Excellent! They're trapped! And now, to proceed with my plan...."
[DOOM] "I am DOOM! Unless you vote to recognize me as World Ruler, I'll destroy every major city on Earth!"
[Gov't Leader] "Impossible! How can he do it???"
[DOOM] "I see there are those of you who do not believe my threats..."
[Gov't Leader] "DOOM – the nations of the world refuse to be ruled by a tyrant, such as you!"
[DOOM] "You refuse?!? Very well! You shall suffer the consequences!" [DOOM] "5... 4... 3... 2..." {*explosion*}
