Caskets - NehruvianDOOM, MF DOOM

Young blood, he’s smart and he’s tough

But he’s got a lot to learn about survival

And the man he’s gonna learn from is…

Doom!

Uh, lay in the cut like a puma on the prowl

The right time to get 'em is now, clow

That’s the end of that, beginning of a never-ending saga

Of how he gets it in like Kamagra

Cheers here’s a lager, yours is O’Doul’s

These are from the untold rules of the old school

It’s like a woolah what it do to one’s medulla oblongata

Revenge of Montezuma on a blotter

(Yo, this track’s off the rack DOOM)

It’s that clack clack boom

Like what’s contained in a square centimeter of the vacuum

When lava rock cool who play the block fool

Villain get paid laid back like chacmool

Enough to make Pac drool wherever he at

Invest wealth, impress self check ace stat

Damn mask gets stickier than crack sweat

In the corner pocket that’s gained some aspect

(Casket) and yet still blow like gasket

Many ass out, no clout, no smash hit

And that’s it, plan B, let the tools spark

Plan A’s a shoe-in, straight shootin' like a pool shark

Rack 'em up, just don’t quit your old job

Small trolls whose type slob on poll blog

You know you done fucked up now, like O-Dog the menace

It’s all love, play tennis

The mic is the shotty, forget about the flack vest

They hustle is backwards, whack -- it’s tactless

That don’t count, chickens before they hatch in the basket

Body beats, closed casket

Bishop!

I’m moving with the all black tactic

Black kicks, black jeans, black jacket matchin'

I’m pulling 21s like I’m using black magic

And they thinking that I am because the quality’s fantastic

They told me I should focus on scholastics

And others told me focus on elastic

I’m using both of those as a tactic

As I mix it with my passion for the rappin'

To think I could have been trappin'

I’m happy I wasn’t trapped in

The loop de loop and shootin'

I’m moving through the mind pollution, tryna find solution

But I’m only closer to dilution

The illusions are leading me to delusion

I’m sick of being confused and I don’t have much of a fuse

So I lack getting amused, feeling actively abused

More days of the blues, I’m waiting on the clues

Alone as I cruise through life and all its waters

Must have hit some ice-bergs because its feeling like torture

It’s H-O-R-S-E, I’m Jordan, in '96

I’m sinking everything man, still I’m playing for the chips

So basically, I’m saying I’m tanking my own ship

You can think what you want cause your thoughts ain’t important

I’m feeling blanker than a CD ROM

And all I ever wanted was for them to see these rhymes

They telling me be patient, I ain’t got the time

Cause I’m seeing trash rappers getting over night shine

While I’m still behind, and they ask why I whine

Is it because I’m living off the thoughts in my mind

Or is it I’m just livid because nobody is complying

I see that I’m inspiring the moves of these sirens

But how could I be vibrant?

Only thing I’m close to is violence

So hurry up and cue all the violins

Looking from a vile lens

Ever since the girl I was eyeing for prom

Ain’t wanna tag along, it’s something that I long

But I understand the order though

Life’s like a big playbook full of audibles

You never know the working play until you go toss a few

Packing rappers in caskets your boy Nehru

So the first thing you’re gonna have to do

If you decide that you’re going to be

Someone who thrives in times of hardship

And there are always those who thrive in times of hardship, aren’t there?

There are those who survive epidemics

There are those who thrive in hard times

In other words, we want you to step back far enough

You know how when you’re in your airplane

And you’re looking across the landscape

High in the sky, 500 miles an hour, 50 thousand feet in the sky

And you look down, and it all looks pretty calm

Down there, doesn’t it

Put it on the ground at that speed, not so calm

We’re encouraging you to take flight

We’re encouraging you to ba- ba- back up from it

Get a longer view and understand it

It is not possible for things to get worse in a universe that is expanding

But, this is something that you may begin to notice

As contrast exists, and it always will

And as everything is expanding, including contrast

As contrast becomes more, then asking becomes more

And when asking becomes more, and resistance stays strong

Then more people beat themselves up by not going with the flow

That’s all you’re seeing right now

But when you, as an individual, who can’t control what the others do

Let loose of your own resistance and go with the flow

Then you become one who experiences immediate thriving

Now this is the part about something you’re going to have to learn to do during

this interim

It’s just a few months

You have to decide that you don’t care what others think of you
