MF Doom  - The Original chords
Start Jamming...
[Fm] I'm the original
Yeah, who is this character?
I'm the original
You can imitate it
I'm the original
But never duplicate it
I'm the original
Just like a catchy copy
I'm the original
But the syrup's still sloppy
I'm the original
Try to do it faster
I'm the original
But I am the master
I'm the original
Now you're getting nervous
[G] Cause I'm coming to [Fm] disarm ya
There's only one Grim [G] Reaper
Yes, there's only one
Try to steal my name and fame
But they are my [Ab] sons
Slap rocks with [G] spirits
Knuckle up with omens
Try to bite my flowing
And your mouth is [Ab] foaming
Act hard, I'll [G] murder each one of em
[C] Souls roast the back of their heads
But blue brains, the ultimate of em
Done with em, now they are forgotten
Cause I pick fights the way slaves pick [Cm] cotton
Grim Reaper, [G] aka The Grinch
I've been a [Ab] native for a while
Old [N] crowd, mind state murder
Remeditated, evidence is my [Ab] 12 inch
Chilling with these [G] smooth buck and those of [Ab] this
Murders mapped [G] out in every measure
[C] Bury enemies like they're treasure
Give the Reaper so much pleasure
Lyrics are kept in stacks, knapsacks [Ab] and mental racks
Rob some Kripzies, son of Sam, they have my tracks
Next, I [G] bring them, cruise
I [C] fling them, bring them all
I'll destroy your whole kingdom
I see all these in the video
And I wonder if they're individually
And no [Ab] safety is in numbers
All big head rappers, I will diss them
The world is too little
Grim [G] Reaper run the f***ing solar [Ab] system
I got mad [Eb] flows, yeah you saw some
You thought you had the [G] cookie
But you only have the cookie crumb
Slash strokes in verbal combat
[Ab] You stress your brain to the [G] limit
Well I stress mine beyond [C] that
Send off [G] horns, I roll with knights [C] and rooks
If looks can kill, [G] then your crew kill with looks
I battle ten men, what's dying ten [Ab] men
I go through scheme [G] on, dream on like Brian [Ab] Menve
Master loosely, but [G] Rob looks [Ab] tight
Not afraid to face death, cause I know what he looks like
[Fm] I'm inflated, I'm duplicated
Like the syrup, skip sloppy
I'm trying to do it fast, I am the master
Now you getting nervous
Cause [G] I'm coming to the [N] surface
I need that man, that's great me man
I need my Jordans man
I'm from the other side [Abm] man
And they come down here making money
Like trying to hustle me man Scooby Doo
Pissed carrots, [G] all thoughts impregnated
[Cm] Abort [G] pre-action, streams are [Ab] terminated
Your [Bm] cranium's transparent, [Ab] I can see right through [C] you
Plus your speech is [Ab] incoherent
[G] Distortions of dialect [Ab] communication
Now I gotta stop, y'all like [Fm] communism
As you [G] paradox, I rock style, [Ab] I'm on caprism
Since [G] paralyzed, I don't paint [Ab] pretty pictures
[N] In my lyric books, hips hop, holy scriptures
Aggravated, cause my spine's separate, I rhyme forever
Now I'm a dozen, me, legs can't move
But in my head I dance, I wear a hobo straight jacket
With a crooked ass, as your shit go blah blah
Go blocker, [Ab] blocker, step to me and [G] crash
Motherfuckers like a [C] sleepy trucker
If you [N] try to front like you're all out
I'll send you mail, but all mail sent will be black
Cause you tell lies, I'm white, claim you right
But I'm 100% a rapper's 99% right
A sniper bullet derailed me, but like I said we're KMD
Oh hell [Ab] me
[F] You've been [Fm] imitated, but never duplicated
[F] Just like a catchy [Fm] copy
But this here I'm straight up sloppy
Try to do it faster, but I am the master
Now you're getting nervous
