about

"Commonality" features Nenjah Nycist on vocals with Michael Costello singing lead on the chorus. The band creates an ambient wall of sound using loop pedals and psychedelic guitars over a 6/8 backbeat.

"Rising Sun Gang" was recorded by Gary Nieves Jr at Cobra Sun Studio in Staten Island, New York. Tracks were cut to 1/2" 8 channel tape, and then mixed in a hybrid analog/digital fashion, using a 1/4" stereo machine and the latest recording software.

lyrics

Commonality (Nenjah Nycist, M. Costello)

Them niggaz sippin lean I'm puffin' green
scene full of laughter sippin lager
I heard a pitter patter at the door
My young lord called over some mo broads
Yours, truly had to go see
You know me fresh I be
my fly got em open, XYZ
you see love caught my eye
A tad bit shy approached her like, "hi"
She said, "yeah you are that aint a lie
Lemme get like you and I'll be iight."
I said, "Cool." We stepped in the vivid living room we gettin' livid soon
She pulls out molly, coke, and some loud fumes
I'm like, "F*k you not about to be around soon."

{Chorus}
Good evening to sympathy
Is it worth the cost to mourn?
In a world of commonality, what can you be running from?


she said, "These times got me stuck so tonight I'm giving up

this life suck." My blood rushed 4th and goal just my luck

now im stuck trying to save this chick from suicide

huh this is not what I want to do tonight

she said, "Only you know how far I'm about to go,"

go, bro by this time yo we mad high mad dry eyes

and she ain't never wanna cry no more

just OD and die and me I rather blow OZs to the sky

since the sky grey and fly away she only told me about her day hey

{Chorus}
