The fourth track on powerhouse collaboration between producer Jneiro Jarel and MF DOOM.
It appears on Keys to the Kuffs Butter Edition and Bookhead EP
Remixed by Clams Casino as “Bookfiend”:
The song is an allegory, comparing DOOM’s feverish search for books to that of a drug addict.
[Verse]
The lust that sold the story, grodier than Mr. Crowley
For those embarrassed to know holier than thou Imoli habits
Paris to the Gobi, bring 'em up to speed slowly
On the low key, Kindles is phony D
Tastes stale - see the words in shades of grayscale
Right there in black-and-white, protected by chain mail
Today's the day made your way to see your sister’n’um
Took my little mens with her, told her loved 'em, kisseded him
These oversensitive youngins is on some new stuff
Can't sit still and focus, the time it take to do enough
From the mean streets of the "Can I get a dollar, dude?"
Above measure, the singular pleasure of solitude
It's your poison, if you so choose, absorb it
Veins to the brain, shoot off into orbit
How you know octagon? or much less tetragrammaton?
To get the good stuff, you gotta get out to the Amazon
With any luck, you might just score locally
Keep it on the hush when you speakin' on it vocally
Then you gotta be on the in, a known member
I think I still owe him little somethin' since November, whatever
Who need credit when cash speak?
Get it - sweatin', sittin' on his package since last week
We all got weaknesses, even the functionin' dead
Some will end up fudgin' numbers, buggin' and lunchin' instead
Netflix in the head
Second best trick to get chicks into bed
[Outro]
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Uh, I’ve been hit, I’ve been
Bookhead was written by MF DOOM.
Bookhead was produced by Jneiro Jarel.
“When I first started writing it, I was almost endorsing books. like, ‘Yo, yeah, books is the shit.’ But then towards the middle… A book could be something that could be a vice. You get in too deep with the books and just be a book-head. You’re not even a scholar, you’re just digging, digging, diggi...
