1 Take, 0 Mercy Lyrics by DNA

0

*I wrote this song to an entirely different beat originally, and one day I made a trip to Juliano's lab in Fredericton to visit and lay down some vocals, when he pulled out this raw Royce Da 5'9"-type instrumental and I just went all-out on the shit. We dubbed the track "1 Take, 0 Mercy" since I did the entire 5-minute verse in one take, no overdubs, no ad-libs, no cuts, no hook, no structure, with a raw ending of me getting rather tongue-twisted on my own words and cursing out Juliano for "wanting me to do the whole thing in one take, you asshole" - so we just left it that way; Monark walked in the studio just as I was finishing up, and he suggested upon first playback listen that we keep it raw, the way it was.*
DNA - "1 TAKE, 0 MERCY" - Lyrics
--------------------------------
Yo
I look for comfort, but I'm comfortable though
I used to compress stress, 'fore I admitted I
Committed every single common sin upon the friggin' globe
I used to come plain, now I come original
Rhythm in my flow; somethin like a tap drippin
Monkey in the middle going apeshit, mad vicious
Cab sittin on the corner
Meter goin uppp like a boner while I'm waitin' on Wynona
I've known her, about a year or so before I boned her -
Her name's Wynona cuz I ride'er (Ryder), well no, I rode her
Vagina, slid up inside her while watchin Oprah
The shock from the varying degrees, not deformers
Police pull quarters out an okeydoke informer
Holy smokes like a organ donor for lymphoma
Snoring like a motorboat, comatose a roamer
I telephone a homeowner I know in Oklahoma
A stoner from Kelowna couldn't mask my aroma
I spaz like a soldier with a bipolar molar
Contract melanoma while visiting Sarasota
The odor marijuana, sell/cell like Motorola
Rolling oats like its granola full of ebola
Hol' up, shoulder colder than soda like Coca-Cola
Known as a high roller with 3 strikes like a bowler
Tomato/tamato, Parabola/parabola
Baloney or bologna? I couldn't say for sure but
This world is cold so I'm staying hooded like a cobra
I stole a solar-powered gondola without a rower
Stranded in the Atlantic alone with a can of okra
