INTRO 01:05
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

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

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.

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
