[Bridge]
Away✦ from you
[Verse 2: MF DOOM]
DOOM get rude with the dude off CHiPs
The mood switch, he chewed✦ off strips of a Broodwich
Danger✦ make him groove off a glitch
Made your boo booty✦ twitch and the crew rich, bitch
Always✦ wanted✦ to say that
Ever✦ since the days in hallways tauntin' a stray cat
The one he often✦ frequently slapped✦ around✦
All the while, waited✦ then graduated,✦ cap and gown
Hated✦ the rap sound
Debated✦ the crap until he felt he had it mapped✦ down
Enough to have the game trapped✦ and bound
Scratched in the crown was the names✦ of lames✦ who yapped✦ the noun
Or verb, for that matter✦
Had no data for a herb who chat chatter
Oh, Erik Estrada
Fat rat, the mask made him batty✦ as a mad hatter✦
Known for his absurd word choices
Now we'll ignore✦ you if you ask him if he heard voices✦
Look, the energy✦ is crazy✦
Far as he was concerned, the enemy✦ was lazy✦
Ahem, your attention✦ please
Freeze, he came to seize the free cheese
Before✦ he flees to Belize✦
In case he forgot to mention,✦ squeeze these
Just keep it on a need-to-know basis✦
They knew he was a negro,✦ so no need to show faces✦
Back in the days of no laces✦
On a slow pace, they used✦ to say he might could go places✦
Man, whatever the case is
The card he played was ace of spades,✦ but no races✦
A spastic,✦ some call loony✦
When he spit a tune sarcastic✦ as Paul Mooney✦
[Outro]
Away✦ from you
Away✦ from you

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

MF DOOM utilizes non-sequitur juxtaposition and internal rhyme chains to obscure literal narrative while maintaining a high density of internal vowel modification.

Rhyme Architecture: Complex, overlapping internal rhyme scheme favoring assonance over perfect rhyme; frequent reliance on multi-syllabic clusters that bridge line breaks.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"chewed off strips of a Broodwich"

① Reference to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode where the sandwich is cursed.② Metaphor for consuming and destroying competitors or 'food' (a common rap trope) in a rap battle context.

"Scratched in the crown was the names of lames who yapped the noun / Or verb"

① Graffiti tagging or marking territory on a metaphorical crown.② Linguistic play on grammatical parts of speech, suggesting the 'lames' only know how to talk without action.
