Livin' off borrowed time, the clock tick faster That'd be the hour they knock the slick blaster Dick Dastardly and Muttley with sick laughter A gun fight and they come to cut the mixmaster I-C-E cold, nice to be old Y2G steed twice to threefold He sold scrolls, lo and behold Know who's the illest ever like the greatest story told Keep your glory, gold and glitter For have half of his niggaz'll take him out the picture The other half is rich and don't mean sh*t-ta Villain a mixture between both with a twist of liquor Chase it with more beer, taste it like truth or dare When he have the mic it's like the place get like: 'Ah yeah!' It's like they know what's 'bout to happen Just keep ya eye out, like aye, aye cap'n Is he still a fly guy clappin' if nobody ain't hear it And can they testify from inner spirit (no) In living, the true gods Givin' y'all nothing but the lick like two broads Got more lyrics than the church got 'Ooh Lords' And he hold the mic and your attention like two swords Or even one with two blades on it Hey you, don't touch the mic like it's AIDS on it It's like the end to the means F*cked type of message that sends to the fiends That's why he brings his own needles And get more cheese than Doritos, Cheetos or Fritos
Slip like Freudian
Your first and last step to playin' yourself like accordion
When he at the mic you don't go next Even pussy cats like why hoes need Kotex Exercise index won't need Bowflex And won't take the one with no skinny legs like Joe Tex
I-C-E cold… Nice to be old
This is one of my favorite moments in music
I kind of wanted Weird Al to rap to it.
THE ROOTS-You guys came a long way!!!!
Living off borrowed time the clock tick faster
Livin' off borrowed time, the clock tick faster
That'd be the hour they knock the slick blaster
Dick Dastardly and Muttley with sick laughter
A gun fight and they come to cut the mixmaster
I-C-E cold, nice to be old
Y2G steed twice to threefold
He sold scrolls, lo and behold
Know who's the illest ever like the greatest story told
Keep your glory, gold and glitter
For have half of his niggaz'll take him out the picture
The other half is rich and don't mean sh*t-ta
Villain a mixture between both with a twist of liquor
Chase it with more beer, taste it like truth or dare
When he have the mic it's like the place get like: 'Ah yeah!'
It's like they know what's 'bout to happen
Just keep ya eye out, like aye, aye cap'n
Is he still a fly guy clappin' if nobody ain't hear it
And can they testify from inner spirit (no)
In living, the true gods
Givin' y'all nothing but the lick like two broads
Got more lyrics than the church got 'Ooh Lords'
And he hold the mic and your attention like two swords
Or even one with two blades on it
Hey you, don't touch the mic like it's AIDS on it
It's like the end to the means
F*cked type of message that sends to the fiends
That's why he brings his own needles
And get more cheese than Doritos, Cheetos or Fritos
Slip like Freudian
Your first and last step to playin' yourself like accordion
When he at the mic you don't go next
Even pussy cats like why hoes need Kotex
Exercise index won't need Bowflex
And won't take the one with no skinny legs like Joe Tex
Thanks for talking over the music and trying to make it about yourself, it's like talking over the preacher at a funeral
Dick dastardly and mutley with sick laughter
I got whiplash
I hope Doom was able to hear this masterpiece.

This is exactly what I was goddamn looking for… The YouTube algorithm finally gave me exactly what I wanted before I even wanted it.
Weird Al absolutely NAILED it!!

I know he was just playing the accordion but I wouldn’t have said no to Weird Al rapping the words too.

He didn’t touch the mic like there was aids on it. Wicked respect
I never knew I needed to hear Weird Al playing Accordian on an Accordian <3
