Clown cold popped junk outside Grubstake

Nutcase
Fuckface

Smacked him in the glasses till the Polk Street bus came
Bus came

Dumb late
'Sup, Aes?

Fifth row, two o'clock, tattooed, pigtails
Pigtails?

Thick tail?
Shit's real

I think I seen her hooking at the Burger King Lyndale
Lyndale?

Big deal
Kid, chill

[Hook]

Left the afterhours smelling Old Gold musty

Drunk, B?
Ugly

Kicking it to girls while he hurls in the front seat
Front seat?

Lunch meat?
Disgusting

[Hook]

Miss Mary Mallon, mallet in the kitchen
(Brrr!) Kitchen
(Ha ha ha!) Kitchen

Cyborg city showing typhoid symptoms
(Brrr!) Sickness
(Ha ha ha!) Bitches

[Hook]

Cooling on a sidewalk, outside crêpe truck
Crate truck
Crêpe truck
Baked up?
Straight up

Traded the jalopy for a nickel bag of fake bud
Wait, what?
Fake bud
Wait--fuck!
Wake up

9:30, back home, no chick, sober
Sober?
Sober
No shirt?
Stouffer's

Came in like a lion but you went out like a gopher
Closure
So hurt
Over?
No, sir

[Hook]

Hail Mary Mallon is a hip-hop group comprised of Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic, and DJ Big Wiz.

The group met each other in the ‘90s and began working together on Definitive Jux–the record label EL-P owned at the time. Aesop and Rob collaborated for the first time on Aesop’s 2005 song “Winners Take All”—the two went on to become close friends. Aesop explained their bond in a 2014 Rhymesayers video

We started joking around. Which is kinda what-kinda a lot of what our bond is was just like being funny to each other.
