INTRO

What I'm writing's more exciting than the Norse god of Lightning
I'll leave a mic "Thor" like Mike Tyson fighting
I've got your ears like Mike Tyson biting
And I'm rarer than White Bison sightings,
WELL, it's enticing, give into the viking
I'm here to pillage brains and they seem so inviting
I'll tap into your ears like Danny Ocean with a stethoscope
The metronome is set to slow, doper than some methadone
And never known to bitch and moan, I'm master of my universe
He-Man, the man sees plans to spit a newer verse
I start to write and then it's like they hit the light
the colors wax and wane with the mood, like the moonlight
Just gotta get the mood right, you can't believe the way i grooves on a boom mic
Doom might be impending
or a gloomy world ending,
Sending signals out in to the vast expanse, it's mind bending
So i just hope this message reaches other life,
Out in the universe so we can get saved tonight
But if not, homes, can you pass the light?
Cuz if we gotta go out than we should probably take flight

Three Stacks of Words
03:59
|
|||
I’m captain cold with an avid rapping soul
Rabid raptor with a flow
Rappers snapping at the show
Give respect to the breath control
Laughing blowing Os
Shooting arrows from my nose, like there’s a mask upon my dome
Jim Carrey with a dictionary, scary wary of an airy apothecary
That carries many potions to parry any necessary
Planetary disturbances
Have you heard of this?
Play drums on all the surfaces
Until my hands are hurt and shit
Further spit than llamas and camels combined
Thats the way you can categorize my rhymes
Slightly off centered with a splash of wine
Oh my clementine, meet me in Montauk
Turn off your alarm clock and sleep through the time hops
“we’re all mad here” said the hatter
Flying through all the references and the stars smear faster
No mumbles, but I've been humble as a mumble in the jungle,
Three Stacks of words that i combine into a jumble
To boggle you mind, so who's ready to rumble?
I’m like Solomon Grundy rocking a onesie
Das EFX meets the wonder twins monkey
Wu Tang and Voltron in one mecha Lion
Testifying that I’ll rule the world without trying
No legion of doom, I’m leaving a tomb
Of all the superfriends, side kicks, it ain’t even noon
That’s a good day in my book, after all that’s happened
It’s praise Rao, Rao like a dungeon dragon
Superfriends from earth 2, showed up, it’s a who’s who
Of slightly varied versions of the heroes that I slew
Gotta think fast, trust my impulses
So I start to run like Bart, the time line convulses
Counter clockwise, got the hands in reverse
Eobard Thawne going back to where it hurt
Actually it worked, the world was back to being worse
All the heroes had returned and my win would be dispersed
No mumbles, but I've been humble as a mumble in the jungle,
Three Stacks of words that i combine into a jumble
To boggle you mind, so who's ready to rumble?
I got a cold heart like Leonard Snart,
Pull a grizzly bear and rip your tent apart.
Leave your head and shoulders ten apart,
Feet that is
Gimme the microphone and imma freeze that shit
Kyrokinesis, rhyme thesis
My rhyme style has more ice than a famous rappers time pieces
They hear the style and say “ain’t he great?”
Yeah I was born in 89 but not in rhyming with the 88s
The glare off the snow, it can be quite stunning
Keep the herb in the sled, call it cool runnings
Kiss the lucky egg, got the Rocky Mountains by the keg
I’m bout to get ya high like it’s Friday and your name is Craig
I see you’re getting hypothermia
My verse is disturbing ya
I'm colder than a sorbet in Serbia
Or like an ice cream in Moscow, I can’t be stopped now
From drowning out this hip hop pop sound
No mumbles, but I been humble as a rumble in the jungle,
Three stacks of words that I combine into a jumble
To boggle your mind, so who ready to rumble
No mumbles, but I've been humble as a mumble in the jungle,
Three Stacks of words that i combine into a jumble
To boggle you mind, so who's ready to rumble?

(Russell ¿Que?)
What does this make me emote?
I hope that it’s something really dope
Tighter than the Undertakers grip around a throat
When he’s about to choke slam, back up against the ropes
Well life’s a cage match, no dqs for cheating
As long as the ends is justified by their eating
But is it worth the food if your attitude is casually rude and people started asking you to keep passing through
Don’t stop by, you’ve over stayed your welcome
But enjoy your consolation prize like Belgium
I dont have the answers, but karma seems promising
What goes around comes around, but I’ll only be commenting
Verbally in hyperbole while I sip this herbal tea
And mind my own business, like Kermit the
Frog here, left a bunch of fog here
Like a Dagobah bog’s here
You could add applause here
What goes around, comes back around
(Diggz Sentences)
you do dirt, you get it
life’s truest sentiment
I found it out the hardest way and now I’m proud to live it
embracing my fellow man , you hate me I pray for you
hoping that this life works out a better way for you
The planet’s polluted and purity has been diluted
young lives pushed aside, kids executed
my country is stolen goods gave my people homes in the hood
too many things if I could change I would
People say and think many things barely knowing anything
internet bullies in computer room wrestling rings
keep the title they can have it, I don’t need the viral
just me and the dj on the needle imma bleed the vinyl
and as the record goes around and recycles
I think about my trials and celebrate survival
always being mindful of all that is behind you
will find you in line to shine but you gotta grind too
What goes around, comes back around
(Russell ¿Que)
There are some around
Who come around
And love to clown
And give the run around
Well wait til they get what’s on the come around
Yeah wait until they get what’s on the come around

Oh, the Metahumanity!
03:57
|

Greetings, I’m Russell Que, like Alpha 5 meets Zordon
Inter dimensional doctor that’s fighting Blorgons
An assorted form of forlorn reform
It’ll never happen but the way That i was born
Is to perform more as I soar towards this vortex
A lyrical conquistador like Cortes
Antediluvian perusing in Peruvian ruins just like a hooligan
Look for a souvenir to move the pin
Seismic in its effects
When the track hits your ear it’s like a bump to the chest
A punch to the neck
I’d love due respect
From the ones I deem to be the best
Not polishing the shoes of any dudes, so I don’t need a shine box
Been a good fella with the rhymes and lines outlined in chalk
Nows the time to talk, put a beat on and you’re primed to gawk
Oh the metahumanity
Looks like the nerd is back, what a catastrophe
Been hanging round tracks like Dick Dastardly
To now spout facts, and do it with such a mastery
I’m a wordy nerd pushing thirty
Box of wine, no longer thirsty
Keeping it funky like ocean water that’s murky
I ain’t messin with sharks, cuz they would try to murk me
And don’t get me started on manta rays
You know the lasers that fire from black mantas gaze
An atlantean king, stand my ground and swing
The trident and I bet that that bell will ring
Send a swarm of man of wars after Orm
This bastards form is different than what you would call the norm
So when the siren sounds, I’m rhyming loud
Help protect underwater and those living on the ground
Come from a league of my own, prone to leaving my home
But I’ll return cuz I’m the heir to the throne
From the phantom zone to the legions dome
Leaving leagues of bones, I could take Goliath using words as a heaving stone
Oh the metahumanity
Looks like the nerd is back, what a catastrophe
Been hanging round tracks like Dick Dastardly
To now spout facts, and do it with such a mastery
Well I was drinking a Malbec with Alex Trebek
The challenge was set
He said you dare to challenge the best?
So I said “what is yes?” For reasons that I deem obvious
His eyes began to glow, and that shit was kinda ominous
A giant screen materialized before my eyes
6 screens high and 6 screens wide
Categories in the top row, one was rhyme time
What is rattle cattle? When I buzzed in in time
Alex was vexed, unaware of what was next
Hit every single question, a nerdy nothing but net
My soul was on the line, did i mention that he’s a demon?
Cuz of the glowing red eyes, now I see his ears steaming
Horns protruded from his back, as he screamed at his loss
And the earth opened up, revealing his big boss
The devil in a blue dress took two steps
Told him he’s too stressed, he’s just a loser like Beck

(Russell ¿Que?)
How you livin' Russell Que?
You know i'm back at 2 Wash,
brought a bag of goodies, let me see what you got
I got some Bombay Sapphire
That could back fire, i require the funeral pyre
Of Darth Vader on the television
I've been hella lifted
there's gift giving and spliff hitting
watch where you're sitting or you risk getting bitten
By Bronn or a kitten, now on with the mission
Some would call it impossible, to be responsible
When it's colder than a popsicle,
and inside it's tropical
when the temp of the Jello shots is optimal
a volatile, concoction becomes comical
Until tomorrow's pain abdominal
The phenomenal eponymous hostesses
If you're looking for the party spot, well you know that it's
2 wash. Yeah, i'm talking about 2 wash.
(Myke Glessner)
Oh!
When you wake up in the morning, don't fall
Too far down the steps, when you might crawl
Bronn will yell at you
(nah, shit, i fucked that shit up too)
Don't forget to let Danger and Gypsy in
When you walk out the door they'll be crying at you again
Go back inside, grab a beer for a friend
Go back outside, then do it again
Light the fire up,
PBR cans up
Tell them all what's up
Brian Davis, What's up!?
Let's get tore the fuck up,
tell this party what's up
(Russell ¿Que?)
Like stalactites, it's gonna look up
Myke brought some alligator to cook up
throw it on the grill and show you what's up
That BBQ would be the true
taste to misplace your face, from that 2 Wash Crew
(Myke)
Tell me who is you?
(bavisdavis)
Yo I’m on my way to 2 Wash, it’s the top pick
Undercover cop outside in a Crown Vic,
if we’re tryna party then you know they wanna stop it,
annoyed by a little bit of noise and a fire pit.
If a hater wanna hate well go ahead and hate then
I’ll be writing rhymes and making time to smell the rhododendron
30 feels great making moves every morning
and you know at the rate I’m looking forward to my 40s.
I don’t spit on a track, I get hot and then sweaty,
straight regurgitate what’s inside the beasts belly.
Lyrically I bebop and rocksteady
because you know that I jam and you’re jelly.
The main mission’s spreading wisdom.
Cultivation of the system,
back bent in a plow,
the Dao that can be told is not the Eternal Dao.
Picking up weight, make it look like I don’t try,
these supersets simple but still just a little Bri,
be gone awhile and come back a new guy,
reppin 2 Wash since Bombay turned Mumbai.

Kaiju (Unreleased Demo)
03:23
|
|||
I’m a kaiju that rides vines through
rhymes for you to waste time to
Open up your mind and you’ll find you
Design two new lines to Recite in prime view
The view I mention similar to like a birds eye
It’s elevated as you’re looking through the third eye
Just let the universe sing the words it has to sing
It fills your soul where there’s a will like green lantern rings
Use your thoughts to construct a new construct
I’m stuck, floating through an aqueduct I’ll conduct
The electricity that visits me from the vast infinity
Instantly hitting me with inspiration like divinity
It’s beamed into my head, while I’m laying in our bed
universe could have kept us separate, brought us together instead
Now that’s just another string in the lyre, so when you play a tune
Remember that forever and always you will be the moon
Of my life, and if my mind blows a fuse
I’ll trust you to flip the breaker, cuz I know that you’re my Muse
Living in the land of the lost like a sleestak
I needs rap, whenever I miss it I flees back
I’ll shrink down and I’ll hide on a fleas back
Hank Pim, thank him anytime you’re ranking
You can put my name right at the top
Got my own style, a lot of rap, a Little Rock
Like Arkansas, I’m declaring martial law
On the partial flaws that made me act a fool as a son and all
One day, so I can be a good son in law
I’m working on it, and I’m trying to keep fun involved
But I’m crazy for my lady in the best way possible
And she makes me feel unstoppable
I’m the juggernaut bitch, running through the spot quick
Never gonna stop it, like Kenny's inevitable death inside a mosh pit
Or inside a cockpit when trying to be the pilot

FLY
06:01
|
|||
In other words, I heard that flying’s for the birds
Oh the nerve and how absurd that they’d monopolize a word
The verb to fly, but see I’ve devised a plan
To move the land cuz I barely can stand when I’m simply holding your hand
You’re like the jet boosters to the rocket ship
The guac to chips, it’s something impossible not to ship
But I’ve got this shit, I’ve said that one kiss is like a jettison
So I’ll just keep my dear close like venison
And when it’s in the moment I will own it
We’ve defeated all opponents
The components of the ship react as our ozone is
Just a thing of the past, as meteors fly past
We’ve gotta be careful cuz they’d smash right through the glass
Good thing that I’m focused on the drive
And reciting this in rhymes is just a norm within my mind
My loves a pilot, and I trust her in every part yes
I mean she ran the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs
Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
I know we gon get there soon
You got me smiling just like a buffoon
Like I drank a bunch of wine in the early afternoon
Shall we play Pink Floyd on the dark side?
Until the end of times, omega like Darkseid
We could have a picnic, I’ll bring a basket and blanket
A giant leap for mankind, now that we’re finished with our transit
The tranquil sea of tranquility could really be a
vacation spot to teach the masses humility
Looking down to see the earth is quite the trip
But nothing makes me trip like the taste that’s on your lips
That’s the reason that I often slip
Into flashbacks that have the house rumbling while the stars flash
The USS Rabbit Hole, that traveled through a worm hole
Appeared upon the moon, and gravity took a firm hold
And all of this was triggered by your kiss
Just prior to landing I caused a lunar eclipse
But I’ll continue like ellipses
Because your lips be like sixty pixies
Throwing fairy dust with plates of mixed cheese
So basically I’m saying that they got it all
And they make me fly high and I’m never gonna fall
Fly me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
I know we gon get there soon
You got me smiling just like a buffoon
Like I drank a bunch of wine in the early afternoon
Puedo ver la luna en tus ojos
Con una casa por nosotros
On the way there, snap a bunch of photos
Watch the ground fade, through the clouds down below
And now we’ll go, we don’t have to stop on the moon
That can just be base camp as we travel to Neptune
Hit mars on the way and stop to see the sights
At this point Earth is just a distant light
Light blue what a pretty hue and view
Pack the ship up, not what do you wanna do?
Pass Jupiter and head to the rings of Saturn
A not so subtle hint that wish to make to a pattern
I’ll Avoid the obvious jokes with the next planet
And meet our destination a frozen and dense land in
The out skirts of the solar system,
When out lurks an organism, with eight legs and fangs like Tolkien fiction
I try to make peace, but we retreat to the ship,
I guess we’ll head home, cuz I ain’t living next to this
Home being the little house on the moon
Take a nap, and we gone get there soon

MOJO
01:55
|
|||
You can take the band outta Mojo, but can’t take the Mojo out of the band
Or the man
Or the fans
Or the tasty herb grams that I’m rolling up
Never drank at Grain cuz I don’t think I’m old enough
Pushing 30 but im still a dumb kid at heart
Posting up by the dumpster before open mic starts
Gotta duck down, the Newark boys are on patrol
And we can sit inside the car if it gets too cold
A flashback, a cut away, a scene I’ve rehearsed daily
Then I’d go inside and rap, get drunk, and they’d pay me
Talk about the dream for a foolish 23
Who could prove the wrong in me
A lot of growth but often we
Have to devolve to yesteryears
No concern for better beers
Or watching carb intake from doctors orders, now our peers
Have all grown, friends turn to foes
Who turn into strangers, and that’s the way that life goes,
But in your head, you can reside, and visit your memory banks
Withdrawal at any time, and when the teller says thanks
You can watch the film back, and laugh at your stupid hat
And delete the parts that you wish to avoid on a trip back
But honestly, the new home base must be Oddity
And 1984 where a quarters a hot commodity
A true Area 51 Prodigy
QUE on the board, and you’ll see it constantly
Stating facts that Matt and Pat have brought it back,
The feeling that I lacked, when they painted the mural black
So thanks to them for keeping this guy sane
And rip to an old friend, MOJO MAIN

(Freddy G$)
The OG wake me up like some instant coffee
Its ya neighborhood Freddy riding round like Mr Softee
I wish you would try to take my chicken teriyaki
I'm allergic to fleas tell that bitch to get up off me
Aye
Look at me I'm Mr Meeseeks
The Indians in the cupboard I'm drink ayahausca in a teepee
Hiding behind a bush like can you see me
While my minds on Neptune. MrWavy the ET
Hop into my dragon V2 and take flight
I'm intergalactic planetary move at the speed of light
You Plastic carbon copy
wanna be everybody
Ya style is slow sloppy
giving out raw cuts like a butcher
I mean a disk jockey
I wish you would try to stop me
Then that will be Kick punch it's all in the mind if you wanna test me you'll find
That I hit the button now its turtle time
(Wheres the wine!?)
A lil bit of pino
Nacho cheese and jalapeno
A couple bags of greeno
Have me singing like gambino
And Then I flee the scene ho
I'm on fire like the soundtrack to Scarface
You think I know melodies but its weed in that guitar case
Should've known don't be surprised look at your face
Never ever question a pot head in the first place
I just do it like that shoe line
Pro skater is how I grind
Ima killer of these beats
Leave em all outlined
like that deadline
Hoody on
What's goody Holmes
Welcome me into ya top 5
Count me out if you want that is not wise
Disrespect me if you want that is not wise
They can try it once but I promise it wont be twice
I would, find it absurd if the way i string together words gets on your nerves
(Beatz UnKNOWn)
I was blessed with a gift
Collect mic checks from the 1st to the 5th it only gets worse
Verse after verse like an emcee curse
I burst ya thought bubbles, yeah y'all should think of me first
State my name like farm to insure no harm
Cuz I dropped hot ones like I got wings and a bomb
When a pen in palm and a hit from the bong
A lil scripture from psalms then I'm strong like Khan
Genghis lyrically aimless
outta my mind i'm brainless
Hannibal like an animal told to mame less
Made to hold my breathe like takin a long stretch
And ya'll's hot shit can't fuck wit my stay fresh
Jim Henson of word play it's not weird
Did I mention how absurd the way I puppeteer
I pull string lyrically i move things
See how ya boo be feelin these mood swings
1 or 2 two thang gotta happen when I'm rappin
3 fa 10 win or I'm snappin wit the Trappin
Or Either or I'm the emcee they lookin for
Who wants more is the syntax laws
Did I mention I break jaws shark and all walls
Something like a henchmen the way that I walk off
On and on to the break of Badu
Half baked dawg like Chappelle by the bayou
I love these back pack raps just not by you
que dilla done it again and got me high too.
Russ you a genius get on they nerves
And just do you
Freddie please keep get gs and never veer
We the illest not to mention got the song of the year
Live from the suburbs, yeah, yeah wit no fear
absent from class this time like last year
From drinking absinthe chasin crowns wit cold beers
I would find it absurd if the way i string together words, gets on your nerves
(Russell ¿Que?)
I would find it absurd, if the way I string together words
Gets on your nerves,
A sweater cut up into thirds
Cuz the ends are frayed, and you’re primed for unraveling
Just hop into your car and drive you’ll know when you’re done traveling
It’s baffling attack of the body snatching
Ungodly captains, turn on your closed captions
To try to follow my stream of consciousness is like white water rafting
Don’t forget your Life vest
Take a light test
Exhale a cloud of smoke and manipulate the lights best
I use it to tell a tale like a holophone
I’m like Futurama meets Wu Tang’s Hollow Bones
Devour my prey whole and I’ll even swallow the bones
Scar from the Lion King meets Raja from Aladdin
I’m a cartoon liger that excels at rapping
Maybe I could be a Thundercat, I wonder if the other cats
Would accept me in the fold of Thundera right under that
Three moon sky, these dudes high
So bloodshot that I think I need new eyes
Room spinning but I ain’t About to barf
Forget Lion-O I’m just trying to meet Snarf
Flows hotter than summertime with a Lenny Kravitz scarf
I want a Milky Way, no wait I wanna get away
Just gotta write a hit a day to keep the bull shit day
Art is cathartic, hardly the hardest way to harness inner darkness
It’s harmless and sometimes armless, Venus de milo, I know I’m a vibrant wino
Once an albino rhino that learned to lie low
Now I’m rarely asked to leave
No miller lites up my sleeve, or in my back pocket
I stopped it, but I’m drinking on this new gin concoction
