The whole dang thing makes more sense than you know. ambiguity is not the result of he rushed thinking of a freestyle, but rather the desire to poetic and use conotations and metaphors and shit.
"Living off borrowed time the clock tick faster
That'll be the hour they nock the slick blaster"
'Living on Borrowed Time' is a John Lennon song that's about kickin back and not worryin about tomorrow. So, livin off borrowed time is the opposite. The clock's tickin faster. He's not gonna let the hip hop game get ahead of him in his old age. 'That'll be the hour they knock the slick blaster' is like sayin 'That'll be the day I let them make fun of me.' or somethin like that.
"Dick Dasterdly and Mutley with sick laughter. A gunfight and they come to cut the mix master."
Dick Dasterdly and Mutley with sick laughter is refering to Doom and Madlib as villains. The gunfight goes along with that. He's just tying to villain rapper thing together. This song is an introduction to the two villains.
"i.c.e. cold. Nice to be old. Y2G stee. Twice to three fold"
Ice cold means he's a hard ass. Nice to be old means just what it sounds like, cuz dooms an old mo fo for an emcee. Y2G stee means his style is unusual and current for this new century, Y2G or Y2K. Stee means stilo which is Italian for style. Twice to three fold could bean times to or times three. Maybe he's agnowleging that his style is so far out that maybe it's more fit for they year 4000 or the year 6000. Maybe.
"He sold scrolls, lo and behold."
He's makin himself like and old biblical profit. Lo and behold is like Bible language a little.
"Know who's the illest ever like the greatest story told."
is like "the greatest story ever told" which is a biblical movie about Jesus. So that goes along with the last line.
"Keep your glory gold and glitter. For half, half of his niggas would take him out the picture."
He's sayin, I don't want money and fame. To have half of what he has his own friends would kill him to obtain it. That's all I got for now. More later maybe.
