Raid Lyrics by Madvillain

Madvillainy

2004

[Intro: MC Eiht & MF DOOM]
"Life is—"
To two one-two

[Verse 1: MF DOOM]
How DOOM hold heat and preach non-violence?
Shh, he about to start the speech, c'mon, silence!
On one starry night, I saw the light
Heard a voice that sound like Barry White said, "Sure you're right"
Don't let me find out who tried to bite
They better off goin' to fly a kite in a firefight
During tornado time with no coat than I caught ya
Wrote the book on rhymes, a note from the author
With no headshot, he said it's been a while
Got a breadwinner style to get a inner child a finna smile
And that's no exaggeration
The doctor told a patient, "It's all in your imagination, negro"
Ah, what do he know?
About the buttery flow, he need to cut the ego
Trippin', to date the Metal Fellow, been rippin' flows
Since New York plates was ghetto yellow
With broke blue writing, this is too exciting
Folks leave out the show feelin' truly enlightened
They say, "The Villain been spitting enough lightning
To rock shock the Boogie Down to Brighton". Aight then

[Interlude: M.E.D.]
Yeah, check, listen up
Uh, yeah, now

[Verse 2: M.E.D.]
How M.E.D. hold heat like Clint East is reborn?
Leave 'em with more holes than a dartboard
Haters watch him, Hennessy double-shot drink
Like the answer to the problem's at the bottle's bottom
Uh, from the bottom, top that homie, pay how you owe me
My niggas take "No" like Kobe
Even with the arms of the Hulk, you couldn't hold me
From gettin' mines, stogies be rolled, smokin' and gettin' by
Thanks rap, I ain't got a dime
Got me sneakin' out of checkout lines with bottles by the waist side
Yeah, smack 'em in the face, let 'em taste pride
Face trial, end up washed up like the shorelines
Do or die ride, how the dead return
Street turns, keep me in this dirt like an earthworm
What he spit hits and grows, will brothers ever learn
Worth a word, chat with a nerd, meeting adjourned
