歌词
[Produced by Madlib]
年龄对我并没有影响
只因我的押韵技巧超强(照应Accordion里的“Nice to be old”)
[Intro: MF DOOM]
行云流水的flow和押韵
It never really mattered too much to me
才是我的所有,懂么?(与Ready For The World的Let Me Love You Down的句式相似)
'Cause I was just too damn old to emcee
今天看起来天气不错啊(2004年,Doom的人生达到顶峰,自己的儿子出生)
All that really matters is if your rhymes was ill
吸了一口新鲜空气,挺好(stray可指流弹,这个bar末尾,Doom模仿了子弹piu飞过的声音)
Girl, that's all that really mattered to me, oh baby
来点小酒开启新的一天(Got a Light在生活中可能是要借个火,而Bud Light=Budweiser Light)
脸看起来像被扔了泥似的,还好带着面具(暗指Doom喜欢喝酒导致宿醉)
[Verse: MF DOOM]
没啥好说的,这就是它该变成的样子(The way the cookie tears/crumbles是20年代美国的俚语)
Looks like it's gonna be a great day today
准备好被现实痛扁一顿吧(WWE明星,1996奥运会角力冠军Kurt Angle在备战奥运会时曾被撞,受伤严重)
To get some fresh air like a stray on a straightaway
我这种Bars不是随便就能写出来的(Rocket science一般指看似容易,实则困难的事物,pocket wine list确认了Punchline——Doom嗜酒的习惯)
Hey you, got a light? Nah, a Bud Light
他(Villain)或许需要看看脑子(照应了Accordion里slip like Freudian,同时把pxxxy这个词融进了psychiatrist里,展现Doom对于x.i.n.g.的需求)
Early in the morning, face crud from like a mud fight
Doom,你想到了我在想啥吗(Picky and the Brain的一句经典对白)
Looky here, it's just the way the cookie tear
可以,不过为什么它会在乱动呢(它=女性心理问题引起的一些体内的毛病,比如子公移位)
Prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle rookie year
她就像一个弃婴一样,失去了用处
The rocket scientist, with the pocket wine list
我唱歌就如百老汇一般,真实而又不失精彩(引用Sir-mix-a-lot的Posses on Broadway和百老汇的Mama,I want to sing)
Some even say he might need some pus-sychiatrist
在我的歌里用最具特色的bass
DOOM, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
不按套路出牌永远是我的风格
Yes, but why would the darn thing be wandering?
这样会很怪吗?不过是有礼一点而已
She's like a foundling, barely worth fondling
这样丝滑的flow难道不值得以最享受的方式来聆听吗
My posse's on Broadway like Mama, I Want to Sing!
额,知道Jeopardy!是啥吗?(doo doo doo doo doo的出处,用设问,让大家认为下文会用到butter,可实际上并没有)
Mad plays the bass like the race card
就算知道也别多嘴(senior照应了Doom的年龄问题)
Villain on the case to break shards and leave her face scarred
钱就是拿来买草的
Groovy, dude! Not to prove to be rude
正宗的东西肯定就是好的(wordplay)
But this stuff is like what you might put on movie food
最后一个愿望:再来俩愿望
Uh, what is jalape?os?
我们应该对世界感到满意,而不是对现实感到担忧(黑客帝国的剧情)
Get it like a whoopin' when you holla at your seniors
唱了那么久,下巴都控制不住了
Dolla he can overhear the hashish vena
在这场痛并快乐着的派对中,可以多用一些,额...酒水(和Krs-One的Super Hoe如出一辙)
He just came from over there, the grass is greener
穿好鞋子(脚踏实地)
Last wish: I wish I had two more wishes
别装腔作势,做fake gangsta(Tims=Timberlands)
And I wish they fixed the door to the matrix, there's mad glitches
如果你只是想做装饰用
Spit so many verses sometimes my jaw twitches
那就好好反省自己,按规矩来
One thing this party could use is more... *ahem*
没骗你,因为fake ones早就见多了
Booze,put yourself in your own shoes
从小到大太厉害(rhyme skills)还是容易招嫌
And stay away from all those pairs of busted Timbs you don't use
她就如钻石一般惹人喜爱
He only keep 'em to decorate, if you wanna
但不是那种你想赋予真心的人(wordplay,she不一定是指女人)
Peep him, select a date and bring a deep check, like "Check, mate"
这个已经不知道是第几个了,记不住就换一个吧
I kid you not, on the dotted line signed
这些东西都是靠自己的冷血(番茄酱,与下段的too thick照应)与“一根牙签”(pen)写出来的(Penn & Teller中有相似的体现方式,体现了Doom的押韵能力)
Ever since a minor, kids considered him some kind of Einstein
这些段落的思想过于深刻,随从们除了厉害二字,剩下的都被惊讶代替了
On a diamond mine grind, she was dumb fine
真疯狂啊(与前面的rocket scientist呼应)我的flow(字面意思:流水)可以淹没所有人
But not quite the type that you might want to wine and dine
我拿上麦克风就可以给这首歌增添不一样的色彩
Couldn't find a pen, had to think of a new trick
就像π一样,3.14(1592....)
This one he wrote in cold blood with a toothpick
再乱动,你们就完蛋了——(One more one是指π3.14(最容易记住的部分)后多了一个1(41592....)后面的部分许多人都记不住(wordplay))
On second thought it's too thick,his assistant said: "DOOM, you sick," he said "True" through acoustics
Psycho, his flow is drowned in Lawry's seasoning
With micro power he's sound and right reasoning
It's easy as pi, three-point-one-four
One more one false move and they're done for—
