[Verse 1: Aesop Rock]

Brother to the boogie,(boogie) boys with the illest, (illest)
Cousin of the philly, guts littering your Plymouth (Plymouth)
Bubble gum and duct tape holding in his innards (innards)
Outsides parched (parched), insides pickled, (pickled)
Flowed when he shoulda, (shoulda), ebbed or departed ('parted)
Squarely in the byway of invaders painting targets (targets)
Black knights errant wading out into the harvest, (harvest)
Copper plated zinc, (zinc) compensated harlots, (harlots)

[Verse 2: Rob Sonic]

Jolly roger flags, glass in his gill
Mary wants the captain jacked and dragged to the bilge
Tethered to the weathervane and drained of his fill
Poured into cups, and drank once its chilled
Crazy fucking loon, bugs on his lips
Tugging on his handle bar mustache grips
Steiner full of shells and a belt full of clips
For the first, time he’s left off your list

[Hook: Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic]

Mailbox Baseball

[Verse 3: Aesop Rock]

Least sandbagged, (bagged), most unimpressed, ('pressed)
Finger-nailed Creedmore walls in the flesh, (flesh)
Feed into the fabric of distraction and death, (death)
Statler alarmed, (larmed), waldorf upset (set)
Green moss chops (chops), dummy after dinner (dinner)
Bottle rockets soaring as little surrogate fingers, (fingers)
Draw claw marks across a permanent winter (winter)
Age-old husk, (husk), immature forever, (ever)

[Verse 4: Rob Sonic]

Run from the hounds, marking the wall
Mommy tattooed on the arm of the law
Maid milked drilled till the partridge appalled
More game got, cartridge installed
What’s on first? bases are warm
And all of them are mine and their faces deformed
Chin music played on the razors reward
P isn’t free, pay for the porn

[Hook: Aesop Rock & Rob Sonic]

Mailbox Baseball

[Verse 5: Aesop Rock]
Half Great Dane, (Dane) half Great Depression ('pression)
Tin can tail finding anarchy impressive (pressive)
Taught himself to rap and calibrate archaic weapons (weapons)
Wiz on the techs (techs), class pay attention, (tention)
Pocket knives theatre (theatre), mutiny Houdini (dini)
Disappear before appearing sorcery is easy (easy)
Might've picked the wrong week for cordially retreating, (treating)
Hang on to your fillings (fillings), organize your species, (species)

[Verse 6: Rob Sonic]
Red alert panic, hands on the deck
Motor mouth body shop canceled your check
East bound and up truck sample sex
Mouth full of Miller, handful of X
Skim from the top, undercut the take
Clubber Lang the banker butter up the other 8
Wait for the beep leave your number and your name
And why it is you called, props or complaints?

Hail Mary Mallon

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.
