Conquering Writer’s Block

Lyrics

[Interlude: MF DOOM & Interviewer] Every time I hear like, one of your new records, or like I'm always like impressed with how you like just Can weave the words together and make it seem so effortless and seamless And I'm like alright, he's out There's no way he can come whatever album and do it again And then bam Yeah, same thing I be thinking I'm like, "He's done, I heard with the line," I was like, "Alright" And I heard on Madvillian, thеn I'm like, "Oh, he's done, thеre's no way he can do it" And then I heard the MM..FOOD, I was like, "Oh, he did it again He's got a, he's got to be almost done" So do you ever, you ever ever worry about like, "Man, I bet I'm going to I'm going to run out of ways to say words" You, you ever about writer's block? Every time Like after every record, like, you know what I mean? Always happens, but then I-I, like, you know? For a couple of months, I might be stuck in that, in that zone And my wife will tell you, she be like, "Yo" Every time, I say the same thing like "Yo, I don't know how I do it What am I going to do? Dah-dah-dah" Going for months and then I'll shoot it down for the basic format It's like, yo, the English language is so vast Not to mention the different dialects, and slang that live on Plus, when you get other languages mixed with English And their dialects, and the slangs that came from the um, like People, migrating into America, you know what I'm saying? From the Irish to, just all the different types of people, you know what I'm saying? There's no way you could ever run out of stupid shit to say, you know what I'm saying? That's really what it's based on, is like something that can make somebody laugh That we can all relate to, but it's, it's a real thing You know what I'm saying? Almost like how stand-up comedians do it (Okay) So, it's like they, if you base it on real life and things that happen naturally in life It's forever, so, you know, it's just a matter of not thinking too hard about it And I just gotta keep a pen and pad around me For when I get those little, stupid thoughts and write them down, you know what I meant (Right, okay) But yeah, I think it's another ending stream of it But it even, even now, it's like, I don't know what I'm going to say on the next album Just 'cause I know that I'll catch another good one Like I got no time and I'll do my research, you know what I'm saying? I think I have more faith in this now, though [Outro] Mm, food, we need food
