The Dresden Dolls
Mad Scientist
[Intro]
Uhh, uhh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Darkside is where I'm comin' from all alone
Stranglin' n***as that's fakin' on the microphone
'Cause I've been around and I'mma be around again
Who is it? The black n***a that they call Ren
Won't be braggin' on the nine double M
My steel toe kicks, turn tricks, I use sticks and stones
And say what's up to my n***as on the sidewalk
Put on my black to jack, so I can night-stalk
'Cause I carry a big stick
For n***as that never shot a B.B. gun
Always talkin' about the trigger
Just to get paid, they make it all routine
Hear a firecracker pop, they runnin' from the scene
There's too many records out, that ain't sayin' nothin'
And fake-ass radio stations ain't playin' nothin'
The shit gotta get back, it's time to MC
Too many new n***as ain't sure like Al B
Or wanna be L and only care from the cream
And pose like a bitch to get put in the magazine (What's up?)
You ain't Fresh, you ain't Ride On, you ain't The Source
N***a wanted to get with me, but your shit was hoarse
Lookin' at my crystal ball for competition
Hypocrite n***as hang around to get a listen
Tried to peep in my notebook, but lost a leg
Got paralyzed neck up from what you read
A mad scientist
[Chorus]
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death
Motherfuckin' Mad Scientist
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death

[Verse 2]
Weak-ass n***as keep eyein' this
But who can come and fade the mad scientist?
I've been away from the public 'cause I'm a enemy
With the black Beanie, disappear like Houdini
God of the universe, I control your soul
Shakin' n***as up from the bottom of the North Pole
And my double S, four fifty four
With my size ten, steel toe, shuffle through the floor
It's simple, don't wanna make it complicated
'Cause you simple minded n***as might get frustrated
With your bang-bang boogie, 'cause Ren heard enough
'Cause n***as nowadays don't come with the funky stuff
That I used to hear in eighty-three and eighty-four
When shit had to be hardcore
Criminal Minded, you've been blinded
I'm lookin' for some shit like that, but can't find it
Six in the mornin', police at my door
N***as don't make that kind of shit no more
Simpin'-ass n***as make wave, 'cause Ren don't play that shit
I'm screamin' mayday, a fuckin' mad scientist
[Chorus]
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death
Motherfuckin' Mad Scientist
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death

[Verse 3]
Sneaky-sneaky is how I creep up on you
I clear my throat and then I drop bombs on you
Now be honest, did you think the Villain will let
New n***as come out and tear out the work?
That I put in, I'll pick up the pen and I write
'Til the hand feels arthritis
Shit down and dirty, you would swear it's hepatitis
I be creatin' what your body longs for
And fake-ass n***as, this is who the song's for
A mad scientist, but I won't make a Frankenstein
I just write a rhyme that'll blow your fuckin' mind
You can't follow this, I didn't leave a scent
You can't fool the five percent, that me and Train represent
I'm walkin' up right, and livin' civilized
The Messenger Elijah done opened up my eyes
Then the B-boys stands on my throne in black
N***as scared as hell because the Villain is back
From the center of the Earth, I'm makin' way like the gopher
N***a, by myself I'm takin' over
Ugh, a mad scientist
[Outro]
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death
Motherfuckin' Mad Scientist
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death
Motherfuckin' Mad Scientist
Ren is in control, here we go again scarin' people to death
Yeah, yeah, I wanna say what's up to tribe of Shabazz
Yo, nineteen ninety-four, ninety-five, mad scientist
