Comic Shop is a mellow rap song, released as the third song on Ben Beal’s fourth album Cartoons.
The song acts as a tribute to Daniel Dumile, best known by his stage name MF DOOM. The song references many of DOOM’s albums and collaborations.
[Chorus]
It's all according to plan
Got my voice on the record
We taking trips to Japan
In the comic shop, by the lot
We poking smot, I'm mollywhomped
When Hollywood is dead
You'll see your idols whipping shopping carts
[Bridge]
Mr. DOOM taught me break the norm, fuck regular
Mr. DOOM taught me no idols, stay secular
None other, never needed to wonder
They hit me with the word, like it's "'Ello gov'na"
[Verse 1]
Glass half empty, we should fill it up with moonshine
Heart half full, we reuniting in due time
Glass half empty, I should pour it out for you
You're a hero to the crowd, but a villain in the news
Mask on, anybody could wear it
Got the whole world wondering when the villain appearing
And I don't know
When imma' go
But I'ma need an imposter at my show
Wake up, and think
Should know by now, but I'm zoning out
It's what it is
It all adds up, it led to this, I know
[Verse 2]
Middle school, bumping "Arrow Root"
Pass the blunt and kick a rap or two
Got an attitude, Adult Swim for the power moves
10 magnitude, the bumps got me lit up
King Geedorah, Take Me To Your Leader
So ballistic, with a flow that sinks the U-boat
Special herbs 1 and 2
I'm sampling my heroes
Studying for college, while I'm witnessing this violence
DANGERDOOM got my adderall buzzin', I'm overdriving
Autopilot for the mileage, mask tap permanent
Heard he won like thirty cents, metal face tournament
Vitameatavegamin, now fucking with Benjamin
Only need one beer, years worth of medicine
Castle tends to crumble when a beams start wilting
Trips over the wire and the fall almost killed him
Stands back, blank faced, move with hesitation
Crime scene stale, just pending investigation
Yeah
[Chorus]
It's all according to plan
Got my voice on the record
We taking trips to Japan
In the comic shop, I'ma have to see you when I see you
'Cause nostalgia going crazy, I swear everywhere I hear you
[Outro]
Yeah, we gon' hold it down, down here
'Cause you kept us all creative, it's the same 'round here
Every street every mural got your face 'round here
When the vinyl meets the needle: Supervillain, Superhero
It's for DOOM
