The Legend of OSUNO: ca. 1993

Intro: He Ain’t Heavy

Never Say Never

Bring it Back (OSUNO)

In Runnin’ Out of Time, the protagonists, Water and J-Dog recount the first wild 24 hours of a spontaneous weekend trip to Las Vegas with their crew. The song opens with Water waking up in an unfamiliar bed, confused and disoriented. The story rewinds to their plane landing in Vegas, where they rent a luxury car and check into a lavish Airbnb estate complete with a pool.

From there, chaos ensues as the crew dives headfirst into the Vegas nightlife. J-Dog’s verses expound upon the events as the drinks flow, the casino calls, and impulsive decisions lead to unforgettable yet questionable moments. The night spirals out of control, blending exhilaration with uncertainty. The song ends with Water waking up in an unfamiliar bed, setting the stage for the sequel as the events of the wild night begin to unravel.

With its energetic delivery and vivid imagery, Runnin’ Out of Time captures the thrill, recklessness, and fleeting moments of clarity in a high-stakes Vegas adventure.

Runnin’ Out of Time (OSUNO)

In Runnin’ Out of Time: Part 2, the story picks up after a chaotic night in Las Vegas. J-Dog sets the tone breaking down what occurred in the club after shots rang and out and he gets separated from his crew. Meanwhile, Water, sneaks out of Chanel's house at dawn, calls a questionable Uber, and finds himself in an even crazier situation when the driver gets arrested mid-ride. Forced to walk in the blazing Vegas heat, Water discovers the Airbnb is hilariously just around the corner.

When he finally makes it back, he finds his crew, JDog and Wreckhaj, throwing an impromptu pool party with ladies they met the night before. The wild energy carries over into Sunday, with a frantic cleanup of the trashed Airbnb and a nerve-wracking dash to return the rental car and catch a red-eye flight home.

With the skillful back and forth wordplay between the verses of J-Dog and Water, the song captures the unpredictable chaos of a Vegas weekend through vivid storytelling, humor, and high-energy verses, illustrating how a series of misadventures can lead to unforgettable memories.

Lyrics:
(Cozmo Jethro)
I wrote this song about a girl I know.
She overcame so much, yo here we go.

Growing up  in the 70s and 80s.
Had a tough time growin up in Spokane.
An absent father and an alcoholic mother.
Yea, she knew what it was to persevere.

She was married at age 17.
Two kids later, divorced at 19.
Had her third kid at age 21.
In another relationship with a struggling one.

This went on for 8 years.
Till she saw some fears,
He just couldn’t lay off the beers.

Now a single mom with 3 kids.
What an amazing job she did.

With street smarts and little education.
She started college, 30 years of dedication.
She still had to work and provide for the kids.
College start and stop, had to take care of her biz. 

(Crissy)
Wanting to provide a better life.
Better life, better life.

Inspired by my kids.
Growing for my family.
Earning and learning.
To provide for their needs.

Wanting to be a transitional fam.
Changing past legacy, oh man.
Thanking God for the wisdom.
To set us free!

(Cozmo Jethro)
As time went by she climbed the corporate ladder.
While raisin those kids, that girls a scrapper.
Then came kid number four with her life partner.
Another great kid for her to mentor.

All this time starting and stopping college.
Trying to get it done but it wasn’t happening.

She landed a job she had no business getting.
Only pharma rep in the country, no degree.
With positive attitude, gutsy, and scrappy.
She pulls off those amazing things.

All while working her tail off. Yea.
To provide for her family.

(Crissy)
Wanting to provide a better life.
Better life, better life.

Inspired by my kids.
Growing for my family.
Earning and learning.
To provide for their needs.

Wanting to be a transitional fam.
Changing past legacy, oh man.
Thanking God for the wisdom.
To set us free!

(Cozmo Jethro)
Now she’s makin it big.
In the pharma gig.
Time to try for that degree again.
Finally.

George Fox University.
Full time pharma rep 
full time accelerated degree.

Somehow for two years she pulled it off.
Just graduated Magna Cum Laude.
2025, with a double degree.
That’s my girl, that’s my Crissy.
My scrappy, gutsy, smart beautiful wife.
Makin everything better for all our lives.
Took her 30 years to get that degree.
So proud of my wife, let’s celebrate, yipppeeee.
Whooooo Crissy, you did it girl! You got that degree, 30 years of perseverence. yaaa haaaa!
(Crissy)
Yea, by the grace of god, tenacity and manifestation, we made it happen.
(Lydia) Go Mom!
(Adam) Good job Mom!
(Tristan) Great work Mom!
(Merey and Korey) You did it Mom!

Raw and fast paced free style verse spit over the breaks of Aquarius from the 5th Dimension. 808’s and a snare have been added to give it that boom bap style beat that was universal to so much of early hip hop.
