Rocking some fly kicks,
Doin what it do, getting down to this. (Let’s hoop it up)
Rocking some fly kicks,
Doin what it do, getting down to this.

And Nasty shootin’ them hoops. 
On the court listenin’ to Too $hort. (Too $hort)

As I lace em up, feelin’ alright.
Droppin’ 3s like KD all night. (Swish)
Then I’m slashin’ to the basket.
Jam it through the hoop, bloop. (what?)

Naw, I wish. Try to dunk the ball.
Ahh Ankle twist. (damn son.)
Now I’m writhing on the ground in pain.

Rocking some fly kicks,

(Cozmo Jethro)

Now I’m sittin’ at my house.
My ankle hurts and I’m like where’s my kicks?
Did I leave my shoe at the court?
Shit, I’m one shoe short.  (Aw mayne)

Today I shouldn’t have played ball.
Lost my shoe and took a fall.
Next time I play ball.
Not gonna dunk, yo, and that’s all (that’s all that’s all…)

Lyrics:

This summer I took my 86 year old dad across the country to meet up with folks I hadn’t seen since 1984 when I was 8 years old.

A little background on this story.
About my Dad and his buddy Ronnie.
A couple ball players from the Bronx.
Back in the 50s they would light it up.

In the 70s they coached together
at Stevenson HS in the South Bronx.
Which was ground zero
for the birth of hip hop.

Together they won back to back
NYC HS basketball championships.
Refining their skills and teachin the kids.
Setting their sights on the next level they did.

They moved together to D1 college
at University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Won 2 conference championships during their stay
Than in '84, they went their own way.

Traveling back to the past.
Make sure you got your boarding pass.
Across the country, see old friends at last.
And at the bash raise your glass.

So this summer it was
Ronnie’s 80th Birthday party.
He was holding a bash in Florida
All the way on the other side of the country.

I was like Dad, yo we gotta go.
You gotta go see your old buddies.
So we packed our stuff and
hopped a couple of planes right across the country.

As we walked into Ronnie’s house.
With his family and friends
it was like being in NYC again.

Everybody’s loud, talking at the same time.
With their NYC accents.
Then Russel, Ronnie’s son walks in,
He’s deaf, and his talk is so distinctive.
Instantly transformed back to '84.
When me and Russel used to play together.

The next night at the bash.
I sat with my Dad and Kevin Brown.
One of my Dad’s players from Bronx.
He also DJed during the birth of Hip Hop.

It was enlightening talking with Kevin Brown
who was involved in that scene.
Involved in hip hop,
since it's infancy.

Another old D1 player who attended, Roy Ralston.
A rowdy, big, loud country boy, fit in well with the New Yorkers.
He picked me up almost over his head, shaking me and shouting,
“Jeddy you’re a kid! Jeddy you’re a kid! Jeddy you’re a kid! Jeddy you're a kid."

Traveling back to the past
Make sure you got your boarding pass.
Across the country, see old friends at last.
And at the bash raise your glass.

I remember all these people
As larger than life figures when I was a kid.
Seein them this summer, bein on their level.
That was something really special.

It was like traveling back to my past.
At long last it was actually a blast.

Lyrics:
She’s the one that I want for all time.
My internal rhyme, my prime time dime.
Like fireworks goin off in the sky.
I love her so much now let me tell you why.

It’s been 20 years and the love just aint fadin.
It all started while we were rollerskating.
When we first kissed I was so nervous I was shaking.
She thought that was cute and we were off to the races.

Crissy, I’m in it for the long run.
The one to warm you when there’s no sun.
Always write songs for you, my number 1.
Like a rollercoaster the ride is so fun.

Goin up and down throughout the years.
Through all the tears the fear and the cheer.
Your always my cheerleader and I’m always yours.
There’s no one I’d rather be with on the dance floor.

Back in the day, some people thought this wouldn’t work.
Thought I was like the others and I couldn’t break the curse. 
We wouldn’t be here if we listened to them.
The love I feel for you has proved them wrong again.

Those guys from your past have left a mark.
They caused trauma and left you in the dark.
I promise to always be the light.
And keep it bright even through the night.

I’m not like the guys who came from your past.
Those guys were not built to last.
I won’t be like those that came before.
I love you so much more. 

I wanna reassure you that the love will never fade.
Away.
We’ll have our problems and we’ll have our days.
But I want you to know that I will always stay.

Like 50 first dates on valentines day.
If you couldn’t function I’d be there every day.
If something ever happened to you.
I’d still be here, I’m yours through and through.

Back in the day, some people thought this wouldn’t work.
Thought I was like the others and I couldn’t break the curse. 
We wouldn’t be here if we listened to them.
The love I feel for you has proved them wrong again.

This track is comin straight from my heart.
Your my favorite subject to rap about in my art.
I’ll rap about you till the day I die.
And after that we’ll get together and fly.

Through the cosmos and look back on our days.
The fun we had in so many ways.
The things we did and the things we would say.
This is Jeddy Bear, I love you always.

"The Consensus Costume" is a blistering takedown of how social consensus masquerades as truth, dressed up in the garish robes of prestige, clout, and algorithmic approval. It skewers the modern cult of expertise—where "blue check gospel" and viral prophets trump genuine inquiry—urging listeners to strip away the performative facades of groupthink and reclaim unfiltered verification. Like a sonic exorcism, it exposes how we trade soul-deep discernment for shallow applause, blending rage against the machine with a whisper of liberation in the silence beyond the feed.
