Hold the last flight on these hot summer nights/ old pornstars limo with the silver back pipes / Mike ain't marmalade parley his way/ into spaces closed to patrons /

 right down the way by the  park gate/ laceless hi tops to slap box hide from bike cops/ come back later with their cuts closed up/ and their cuffs rolled up to get lumped and bruised up

air soft guns for target practice/ on back alley dumpster mattresses /flunked school grew into Audrey 2’s/ handtruck atms right out the vestibule

/treat this like a ballroom an autumn courtroom/more screech than a school auditorium/ AQ squalor put the toy to your chordaroys/boy send yo ass screaming in the void/

another day another martyr dog days and you know those  / boys spotted em to blast hair trig biscottas/ death metal zippo frisbeed through your window/run across your roof shingles in your sleep clothes  /a

Dilated pupils group home frugal/xmas manic burn skin panic/ if left untreated might lead to sepsis/maybe either way never learn their lesson  /

Menendez misfits making this mischief/never call it quits even sly in the pen/Jury just might hang the wrong hombre/mistaken about the features of my face

Squalor

/ten of us in a tenement line us up and we innocent/drag racing to a plea like are lives are pink slips/D.A and legal aid flagrant Agent Smith’s/ I move through the matrix with the Will of Jaden

I crashed through some glass gushed blood on my L.A lightups/ blast past a speeding bus lost a shoe just kept it moving/ ran through to forty-deuce to lose em in the all the sewage/ street vendor tourism all of em easy Pickens 

Cops know our luds play guess who with photo mugs/ fresh blood loping out my ear lobe I chuckle when they probe/ I don’t know shit nothing zip nada nope/love your delusion though Imma get up and go/

Felonies to stand next to classmates/for picture day/ never the same you get a taste then your thirsty/mnemonic device for my mommas advice/and its all packed away in the theater of my mind




I shovel sub levels to my devils hello

The stairway to heavens hella slow

Tormenting walking never ending Penrose

downward in a spiral of my sorrow


I’m from the school of Bavitz and Mathers/ O’Shea Jackson’s Cannibal Ox classes/ I throw my oxford cap at A&Rs asking/to leave Zanzibar snake my way up the charts

Frostbite in that cold tundra no wonder/ spit turns to permafrost before it hits floor/ New York allure into that wild green Yonkers/Predatory cosmos host the five boroughs /

So gone saddled over covers same song/ same mike same boy in the corner zooted/ sub human lunatic with his middle fingers crucifixed/dead in the wilderness with his corpse pruning/

Whoever finds my body has to lie to tears eyed/ passerby’s whole life’s  reduced to a photo that falls off the wall/ and breaks fucking the girl that you met at my wake now it’s all turned away/


I shovel sub levels to my devils hello

The stairway to heavens hella slow

Tormenting walking never ending Penrose

downward in a spiral of my sorrow


I shovel sub levels to my devils hello

The stairway to heavens hella slow

Tormenting walking never ending Penrose

downward in a spiral of my sorrow

Penrose Steps (Purple Cat Remix)

So Theres no going back to the battle axe/your ex lotta dextro in bed yes/ she wouldnt blow but the sex was semtex huh to put these things in explosive context I need

   to use it abuse it I’m foolish/  about to fall victim to it / a regular thing motels secondary/ emails no strings just a fling with these lovely females  who
 
had me on the outside looking in just  thinking of/ what to say to get me into your Grace's/ jumping over feelings that you already hate me/ giving me the rib eye ready to stake me scoff at the vibes given

off get it off hear me out kinda dark got me lost in double talk wanna make amends have violins string us down the aisle again tie the knot take half of every damn dollar I got

Here's what not to say this time lovers X4


lottsa nerve a lot said half heard disturbed/I havent felt awkward since like you walked in while I was planting evidence/gave me the finger talking about you was blinded
 
I know your lying your smile is in troop alignment/designer veneers crocodile tears/ veer off to childhood wonder years/if your parents are anything to blame here
 
 me and your daughter a leo and a Taurus/ go together like Leopold and a chorus/that kinda gorgeous mid90s orphan/ pull me all in  

Ice queen puts old flames to shame lamor/what else to say Cept it's not the same for sure/  bags cut into your wrist punch drunk love sick  leaving you tears to reminisce 


Here's what not to say this time lovers X8

How things get so good between us /I’ll put a ring on your cliturous finger/figure you’d wanted half and opted out of a prenup /just a twirling whirlwind of loving I see ya
  
lovely lisa on a leash like laika/ licks the sweat off her own bibingka/ times you locked yourself in the closet stockings /thigh high fingers doing round robins/ 

 So we could never tie the knot im sorry imagine/ sitting across from you for 30 years plus/  without a single word to think of/lingering regrets and eating cold farina/

the women I passed up the real hum dinger/life's a beach no sexual release/ but karma still has her baby teeth/ You still got the gumption to crown or cap me


Here's what not to say this lovers X8

Bitter Lovers

When no ones at my wake with respects to pay/ there on there way right now out the gate and it's all/ forgotten just what I get for playing possum/  numb and neurotic not a problem shit

 / useless trying to hide from my neice/  just a little too happy to see me / so love taps take em social graces I fake em/well have a laugh til it all gets crass

I never really know how to react/ and its all beshitted because of course it isnt/ cool to get schooled by a little girl who /  still believes in blissful gatherings and saint nick/


so when I get enormous /
Ill feel your eyes when I move gorgeous /
You bring me back down when your smile is morbid/I hold back kinda hurts to see you Flourish/

kids know how to put and end to bullshit/ shes there just to remind me/to be kind rewind flowers bloom on my/ zodiac sign I'm all here for you now alright
 


Its all Strange to me I got cuzzins/ who  only meet up here for family functions/ lumped in a recluse niece and nephews/I dont want be used a scapegoat for bad news so

No physicals no hospitals (blissful)/ignorance wont take off work so/what I dont know wont grow/ to the point that Imma need chemo / so I'm told..... (here I go)

 That's what my mothers lover would say/ we just need faith and maybe some placebos/ that's the way to go dont leave your family broke/I'm different a bit rickets I Know/


So when I go I'mma hand off the keys to my sister my niece/at her 16 with the esteemed/her boyfriend/gets a lighthearted warning from me and all of us there shooting the breeze/



 play this for closure sobering moments/ sulking hold it all in wont hold ya / here it is all smiles endorphins beach chair/ sun bathe on it some day  gorgeous 

/ cause imma be late for my d-e-a-t-h / gotta run til my inner thighs chafe/ stuck for days on it and it's safe to say/my days are coming right back in the best way

Decembers I remember Summers by the numbers/ New York slumdog at the mall to shop/get home moms taking off the window gaurd/the AC with heatwaves dog days stroller babies/

six flags photo me screaming in the front row/Shawn had his Nissan nye nye was knee high/ on my lap big brother fore my mother let us all run wild for the summer

Flourish

What’s this turnaround all about now/ get it no middle man get it no clout/ LA the bay to VA to Vegas/ 3 days to make this run through states it is all

There to take from the lake to the bank/ reel it in tour money rent stores sickamore/ how we come across with our New York rapport/floor any star struck lamor on the city tour

When its tough huddle up 5 over par/ gotta get the scrimmage even just a half a yard/ keep it off the books like a crooked Librarian/ below the table hand to hands hes carrying

Stacks big enough for Trumps lips to be the money clip/  dont wanna blow your seed money on that nutty bitch/ take a couple thou sit it down for a timeout / in the dry wall while you handle things abroad 


I need my bag 911 about face
I need my bag 911 about face

Go and get that quick turnaround/ get it no middle man get it no route/ NY to the south to Southside/ the chi to crown heights tonights the tonight see the crew inside /

Geminis with a steady 9-5 who know to loosen/ up they tie when its reppin time/juice crews staples of the local news/ mashing since tv had public access/

shoulder straps snap back from cash grabs/ swiped fanny packs new jack glamorous / picking up tabs Palestinian dancers/ high heeled needle points stilts to kill

hit a zen sleep through turbulence / city to cleave through and everyone’s bent/Mosey back to broken down cadillac swerving/ to the bank fishtailing on the brakes/

I need my bag 911 about face
I need my bag 911 about face

Turnaround when you moving out/ get it no minivan get it no spouse/the lifeline to bail you out leave her clueless/twice removed from any criminal collusion 

fame is pave with pitfalls tax pains/
suckers under the gun put em under my thumb/two faced ipkis friend of the friend/ of my enemies mistress missed it/

/from dishpan hands to prune face fans/bathing in the stands scream waving their hands/ so why all the hate show up unfazed/dumb late but still throwing bras out the gate

with more skin than vaca Floridians/but we got still stops to make/so reel it from the lake to the bank/next one causing bloody red rum brakes


I need my bag 911 about face
I need my bag 911 about face

I Need My Bag 911

Tiptronics

I’m going Over the bridge in a 10 dollar gypsy cab/on safari to kill another part of me/so I’m not blind to this New York neon/ here to get us all off this housing tea time cause/

House spiders crawl over dishes and diapers/clothes piled up on linoleum mold/struck heat pipes was pseudo Morse code/ when Narcos raided them like Texas Waco/

critics my lyrics don't sound right verbatim/I’m not saying to scream my shit off the paper but/ Anthony my raps don't ring amelodically/don't sound stiff when your cutting into me /

I’m just Too busy since I found my niche feels like I don’t/ get any sleep just long heavy blinks/restless on a Queens bound 7 train scribbling sheets of sucker free soliloquies wow/ 



 Yea I’m not what message boards psyched me up to be / so let me shoot down the white feathered messenger/  that shits out letters that I’m raps Cinderella fella/kinda withdrawn with medicated slip ons/

sorry kids your highness has psoriasis/orthopedic shoes an on call podiatrist/ more Napoleon Dynamite than midas/cold to the touch Did I miss my fly in /


first 1 at 31 this it’s not art/nah it’s just an old fart with pot marks/my vision fell a couple spaces on the eye chart/so I guess I’m not running on E smart/


remember me restocking toiletries/ brainstorming rap names now I'm a shitstorm/so TP your front lawn  hurricane class 5/graduate to a tidal wave wash away any faith/

Left in your fan base  /
I got 9 brothers with pit bull veneers/rip tear through the gristle from your flesh still/ fresh in their cuspids you’ll have leave it stern relearn to use your motor functions/

Now I'm ain’t finished I ain’t just fizzing up/how niggerish I gotta get on ginger lips/  Apeing through jungle with corns on my knuckles / you know i'm a hundred leagues above you now Youse 

 cuddly housecat in a room full of rocking chairs /so blow the horn like tabby cats being stepped on/face the dirt with your hands on your shirt now count backwards til you hear us disperse


You better Go long like napalm naval cannon forearms / jump in with closed fist doing double lariats/  Herculean steps to success climbing over the hedge blast the heads off of any Neo neds

Genesis

You know you got it lotta talent and your friends doubt it /but how it sound now gliding over mean sonics/rags knotted criminal knack for plunderphonics/ second hand chronic and Raekwon ebonics/ 

After college you link up with other starving artists/doesn't measure up to yearbook promises/ how many miles can you weather it/ with your parents inheritance slow down and untangle this web of shit

put your best food foward count your blessings/ shootin heroine in between your toe webbings?/ a little too telling  not much better woulda sped off into a head trip and found my Mecca  fierce

Later on I ran errands just to touch money kinda corny/swept the store got tennis balls off the court/wake up unapologetic using my middle fingers /as lumbar support for my backhanded remorse/

but now I’m in a glass house restless stressed out/lying for welfare stipends and hand outs /second hand appliances someone else's kids writing is/ still cut in to the side of it I kinda just...../

Jackknife from alright to blase to lowlife/reaching up to them new heights came in on the last flight/ delusional sunken into the room with my own hubris/ taking all the fun outta being the new kid/

  hot summer when I heard the block thunder/early morning bolted upright when those shots sputtered / message boy bmxing through the rival territory/say they want the shooters name or someone s gonna tell a story/

  backlots a snapshot friend was an inkblot /enigma and they wanted his spot/yea I think not bombed every corner mom and pops/ immortalized him in wildstyle basquiat/

Humble

Round Here class changes only leap years for the/flea bitten part genius half lummox little munchkin comes in / lumped in with yellow backs riff raff from lefrak /meanmuggers forehead needs a name tag or emoji badge cause severe /

mutism left some screws loose in em yeah/ some talk therapy I’ll help them assemble him there’s/ Dark Twain with dark nouns sleazy social workarounds/ back doors ada boy got that outcast act down

that middle child's wonder years lost em in exile/ short fuse bad breaks so so soon seldom smiles/ rushing in from the queens side salivating with quick barbs/ bet chall skin is tougher than cemented rebar/

/I’m kinda kurt skirt around shit in short bursts/  off in the night like charles alumni/ 
give the gas face to past haters/ walk in my shoes never made it to the table at the majors stop hating smart move lame shit fake delusions find a way to make it play to prove it 


So many levels of hell in me black eye for your zealotry/ what my instincts are telling me hmmm/ kill em all fill em all with happy happy thoughts that the winners lost cant take what I put across on their trophy walls  X2



Fresh off the breast in my Sundays best/ at church service seated in a house of regress /our minister turned the Jacob Javits center/ into a path for sinners and found me at the center floor /

Go off on them em cause they need a sit and talk I’m the one / Throwing extra elbows left and right for people with velcro/strong attachments bitch save it its blasphemous/ I got loner situations to practice 

Or we can have a rit-tit-tit-tat four letter match bitch/cause I'm a bastard when I'm monosyllabic/prolly throwing volleys rumors back and forths sorry  sucker free no need to put on the charm or ring the alarm

 My peers just reaching like a thrown prosthetic arm / hornets nest stirred up with sacrilegious syrup/ Texas lean for ladder day saints seasoned and unafraid/ to kiss the canvas when they make a mistake/ 


So many levels of hell in me black eye for your zealotry/ what my instincts are telling me hmmm/ kill em all fill em all with happy happy thoughts that the winners lost cant take what I put across on their trophy walls  X2



I swam outta Utero mr Charles rip shit apart/What it do to you go to be so so sickamo/ jumping cars with morning stars/get a clue pa my cheeks are blue until spoken to I don’t know you locals for tossing in padded rooms

 Savage wanna to put me in the booty palace/ shower stabbings inmates raping timid tadlers/ on pissy mattress gruesome Giellurmo del toro graphic fanatics/ lockdown inmates eating each other’s tater salad/ 

fuck that shit regurgitate the murder rate/ before that happens bulimic/when I say not to play to the lowest common denomina not today throw the keys to the kuffs in a huff away know your place

on the wrong side of the bullwhip blessed boy letting off/on leopard bras hellish dogs biting at my jaw with a cross on a chest pillow hands at 10 and 2 left in a vestigial sink hole

It seems every pocket of New York City has spawned a well known rap group or hip-hop collective. Astoria, one of the neighbors to the “Queensbridge Flavor” is 15 minutes away from the public housing monolith that gave birth to golden-age trailblazers like Roxanne Shante, Marley Marl, Nas, Mobb Deep and the Juice Crew. The surrounding housing developments have largely lived in it’s artistic shadow.  The Brown Family along with it’s larger collective GhottaBeHood wants to put Astoria on the hip-hop map. It’s newest frontman Mike Brown (born Michael Charles Brown) is leading the charter. Michael was born in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Living in the Vernon housing complex with three generations of family. His mother moved him and his immediate family to Astoria houses just before starting school. He caught the Hip-Hop bug early watching his older brother’s Fricshawn and Sha Brown huddled over the stereo passing cassette tapes back and forth. Shawn’s producer Risto, introduced him to beatmaking when he was 13. He provided production for his brother’s Ghottabehood collective and other local acts. Forever the introvert, he transitioned into rapping without telling anyone for nearly eight years. Releasing his debut single “Family Business” on his independent label LOVEuJEAN in 2019. His music touches on everything from personal anguish to absurdist humor, sometimes in the same couplet. A storyteller at heart, you’d be wrong to dismiss him as another "loquacious" rapper. His music demands repeated listens if only to get those head scratchers you didn’t get on your first go around.
