That’s That Lyrics

[Verse]
Already woke, spared a joke, barely spoke, rarely smoke
Stared at folks when properly provoked, mirror broke
Here, share a strawberry morning
Gone, an' more important spawning, torn in, poor men sworn in
Cornish hens switching positions
Auditioning morticians, saw it in a vision, ignoring prison
Ignoramuses enlist and sound dumb
Found 'em drowned in cow's dung, crowns flung
Rings a Tinkerbell, sing for things that's frail as a fingernail
Bring a scale, stale ginger lingers
Seven figures invigor
Nigga, fresh from out the jail, alpha male
Sickest ninja injury this century, enter plea
Lend sympathy to limper Simple Simon rhymin' emcees
Trees is free, please leave a key
These meager fleas, he's the breeze
And she's the bee's knees for sheez, G's of G's
Seize property, shopper sprees, chop the cheese
Drop degrees to stop diseases, gee-whiz, pa
DOOM rock grandma like the kumbaya
Mama was a ho hopper, papa was a rolling stone star like Obama
Pull a card like oh, drama
Civil liberties
These little titties' abilities riddle me, middle C (Ah)
Mm, give a MC a rectal hysterectomy
Lecture on removal of the bowels, foul technically
Don't expect to see the recipe
Until we receive the check as well as the collection fee
More wreck than Section Z, what you expect to get for free?
Shit from me, history
The key, plucked it off the mayor
Chucked it in the ol' tar pit off La Brea, player
They say he's gone too far
DOOM'll catch 'em after Jumah on cue lacka
Do what ya gotta do, grrah
The rumors are not true, got to ma
No prob, got the job, hot bod, heartthrob
Scotchguard the bar with cotton swabs, dart lob
Bake a cake, sweet, Jamaica trade in treats on the beach
Make her skeet 'til her feets meet

[Bridge]
Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did you miss these rhymes when I was gone?
As you listen to these crazy tracks
Check them stats then you know where I'm at
And that's that

[Outro]
Look, there's Doom now
I followed him to the studio, but I was too late to stop him
That's right, you'll never stop me
You're dead, you're all dead, Doom

Genius Annotation

This song is often regarded as one of DOOM’s most impressive tracks due to the rhyme density on display. While the lyrics are somewhat abstract, the primary theme on display is braggadocio: dismissal of weaker MCs and the supremacy of DOOM as a vocalist.

The instrumental contains a sample of Galt MacDermot’s “Princess Gika”, off Woman Is Sweeter soundtrack. The sample was suggested to DOOM by then general manager of Stones Throw Records, Egon, who is a great crate digger. The instrumental had previously been released as the song “Styrax Gum,” off DOOM’s collection of beats, Special Herbs.
