Y'all like my old work well here comes the new 😈🔥😂

Crazy story about this record. Back in 2015 I was working a dead end job as a line cook while I was going to school. I loved browsing KZread for fresh music and things people didn’t really listen to. I came across and shades of Brooklyn, heralds of change, etc. One night I was working my usual 6pm to 2am and at one point during my shift that night, I began playing this record. It played for a while, and then my worker says “is that chaotics?” And I’m like no it’s…oh wait…then I realized that this guy knew how to say their name and knew of them obviously and I asked him how. He said he use to hangout with them back in the day! They were a local Houston hip hop group(which I had no idea they were local, they sound eastern) where one of their members would work at a record shop where my buddy use to go to/or work I don’t remember. Anyways, it was crazy that a random record I liked on KZread was a local group which my co worker knew!! Small world!!

Quality Hip Hop original,cool,on point

LYRICS Intro: (Intro) Now we have a tune, and we don't even know how it sounds Because that's the w- that's right We have no idea how it sounds because we've never heard what the hell he's gone do But it's still gonna be alright Mic- Mic- Make a profound statement (Verse 1) Booyaka! Who you guys introduced a sound that will ruin ya' Screwing ya in more ways than taught strictly doin ya', pursuin' the K to the O is like who in the hell left the gate open In other words you ain't ready for these lyrical nightmares we givin' out like Freddy Machete fo' those who slept heavy, readily fallin' behind Steadily suckin' minds like spaghetti A pimp U thang, we toss a jam like confetti (Verse 2) It's like U-N-I-T-Y, Mike and I on the M-I-C plus Russ on the keys makes three Completes the K-O to the T, I execute the style freely, easily I approach the mic leisurely, admittely If you ask who's that MC squared the sound-man extraordinar Miscellaneous material collaboration, instantaneous, spontaneous That which is unpredictable, unexpected Of no deliberate origin, made material by some random force (Outro) Or in the case of creativity, an imaginative spark that emerges from nowhere But somehow seems to solidify the creative effort - into a work of art Spontaneity ------------------------------------------------------- ???????!?!?: Hit it off now Feelin' this K to the O, that's all you know Now you crossed the wrong line you fine You' behind intertwined in the rhyme with nigga's you know the time if you real We packed like steel to cause damages, soft emcees I eat 'em like egg sammiches For the trouble, bust your bubble, bubbalicious, delicious, check the flava' Flava check Now you save a selectious from a collective thoughts of intellect, that intersect yet I won't begin with no sexual innuendos, a dark back street with foggy windows Flippin' cadillacks from my pent home Co-rhyming indo smoke, joking on, blowing smoke out the window Blowing simplified versions of extended mental, co-incidentally extends from the existential Breathing life into the Mic To the I D to the amien, the two illest God created homo sapiens to - provide the lyrical royal like a regal Dangerous deception like the speed of a Diesel, so ease on Time to hit the road if it's grim, cause we be dunkin' on these brothers, I be hanging on the rim Clear the phlegm, no time for metaphoric speeches Rock produced it, my large amplified acoustics Without the use of rhetoric, known to crack, we'll back it up real quick Acting up will get you slit to say the least, relax, relate, release Incredible the flow, delivery like domino Got the shorty bouncin' in the party like insanical Livin' for my rhyme like Khalel and his radio Here we go Pop you can't stop like a pringle, behold the single To make your head and shoulders tingle With lyrical delinquency indecently increasing the frequency, speaking free verse first of all Cause lyrically when I design a rhyme I tend to the infinity, the lyrics have no function, no instruction no assembly Too many men pretend to be, the man of the century, and analy we all lose virginity, essentially Too many have encouraged with universal proximity, reptilian tongues with the rass of obseneties Consider me the symphony of those who show no sympathy, and zapp sounds getting kept down like the Kennedys Especially with wack emcees, in fact similes Copycatting bastards, none can surpass us It's my turn to burn emcees into ashes, blowing those spots with shots of fatal gashes Commin' out blasting verbally any fool that be askin', certainly you can get some Uhm, this, metaphorical enforcer, sourcerer of semantics Considered wicked word play, grand champion of grammatical acrobatics My sound comes down like Ron Brown in the Adriatic See the lyrics leave you in awe, can't describe my sound is got this certain je ne sais quoi Round without a flaw, K-O's to keep it raw for the show K to the O That's all you know K-Otix Universal ---------------------------------------------- Falling Behind ll: Because I can't get ahead for falling behind I can't get ahead for falling behind I can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fails every time Yo, hand to the wireless as I try to guess my potential for a cardiac arrest Yes I'm blessed just to say that the stress, caved in my chest to the point of fall-out you can hear me call-out To the One God almighty and His son to stand beside me, looking for the light just to guide me On these righteous scrolls I flow slow, so foes won't find me, and those fraudulent hoes won't try me while we Searching for this cream in the lottery I'll be, scheming to grow the green like pottery Is it just a dream or commodery that we're searching for, brothers want the grand prize We picked the wrong doors 'Cause I can't get ahead for falling behind Can't get ahead for falling behind Can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fails every time I can't get ahead for falling behind I can't get ahead for falling behind I can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fails every time There's no reason to be happy, slap me in the face with the reality check Because reality bites and that's were tragedy strikes A full moon and dark clouds to keep me home at night For fear that I'll come nearer to the light At the end of the tunnel I funnel my discontentment and resentment at the risen tide Of sorrow, tomorrow gotta borrow dough before they decide my auto ought to go Fallin' like Geronimo I know inside of me decidedly, got too much pride to be blinded By detainees you get and buy with these measly, five dollars an hour that I shower for And now I intend my best interest that I digested as an omnivore And onto more tribulations in waiting, fearing that I am coming nearer to my destination My motivations derailed, I never let emotion prevail until now Because I found that you can't get ahead for falling behind Can't get ahead for falling behind Can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fail every time I can't get ahead for falling behind You can't get ahead for falling behind We can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fail every time Strife is my companion for life, but now I've abandoned the old Trifle and raws making life hard, I could say that I consolidated Problems are plenty and my days are approximated 120 ways to rhyme but I choose all, of the available a veteran to build stocks That be disabling crews, cover up like ??? to feel the blast, fast My words spread like a rash We taking every measure to treasure the fly rhymes like it's ash At last, we bringin' quality first class yo Perceived in the opposite way, cause I leave myself lost cause of precautions I'm reluctant to heed Just ask me who's the one the perfect or descend the expert Or the beginner sour or is it bitter to taste I lay waste and face all my problems and my way, so we pray Because aside of 6 feet of ground and gravel, is where I sleep unless I decide to pound the gavel And earn the keep At times I can hear the maker calling, I try to stay on my feet but keep falling Cause I can't get ahead for falling behind I can't get ahead for falling behind I can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fails every time I can't get ahead for falling behind You can't get ahead for falling behind We can't get ahead for falling behind Cause if it never fails it never fails every time Every time, every time can't get ahead for falling behind Dedicated to the late Robin ???, so we carry on

Incredible record and still TOO DOPE. Golden Era Hip Hop for life

I remember this when this first came out it has a conscious hip hop feel well played

I remember grabbing a copy of the "Questions" 12" back when it dropped in 96. I dropped that track a lot at many parties back in the day.

Don't come back to a lot of old rap. This is probably my favorite ever

Amazing, true appreciation.

Wow, respect! Sounds really really nice!
