about

Velocipede: Chris Keys (all my band mates are in my phone as their first name and what instrument they play, which always leads to confusion when texting Drummer Aaron, as I’ve known many great ones) started this one with a Stevie Wonder clav riff snowballed into a Parliament gang vocal chant. This one features potentially the only recorded instance of Hungarian dub reggae, though I would gladly be proven wrong about that. Patton and Chef Roe came in very late stage to replace my recitation of Inspecta Deck’s verse from Triumph with their own recipes. (Side note: we could not budge Freddy Fund$ out of retirement to grace our track with a true 3 way posse cut blood bath. Maybe next record?) But since the section was so short and their ideas were so great, on some “these bars ain’t big enough for the both of us” ish, what’s presented is a chop suey mic tug of war that hopefully inspires those two to make a mixtape together.

lyrics

Souls out tonight
on patrol out tonight
all my sisters out tonight
all the trolls slip a secret inside my aura plane

you bleed over things that you

stole out tonight
on patrol out tonight
all my sisters slip a secret inside my aura plane
you bleed over things that you

-spanish-
mi alma esta fuera
de mi cuerpo es ta nocha
mi alma vihilena
todas mis hermanas

pull my leg
stole my love
say my name
let’s talk about us

what the fucks with this one
mumbling like he’s Big Pun
shrouds himself in mystery
so no one can see his reasons
looks like he’s got a secret
should we let him keep it
there’s a microphone right here
let’s leak it to La Migra

he’s so boring officer
just some regular tosser
not even very clever
no redeeming value whatsoever

let’s ban him and stand together
out into the void forever

-hungarian-
egyszer megtartottam egy kisbabat
aki teezoom embert ezeek
neh agoodj
megeerdemedeck
oiyan emberek voldak akiket nem seredem

break off your dick with a bad twist like M. Night
dip that shit in hot wax make it stand upright
matter goes splatter when I’m not your favorite rapper
got a sister? Then get at her, I’m Mr Ass Grabber
perched like Quasimodo as I pen my manifesto
my front lobe crackles and pops, it is my quest so
gettin wigs like twigs going into the fire
these sucka MC’s well they’re gonna call me sire
