about

"Mirror, Mirror" features Nenjah Nycist on lead vocals over a live-band "jam" track with horns sprinkled on top.

"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

"Mirror, Mirror" (Nenjah Nycist)

Rising Sun, uh, what up G

My nigga usually be holding weight like an elephant
asked a cop for directions for the hell of it
my niggaz overreact reasons irrelevant
known to goon thats why i don't tell them shit
fuck girls ruthless, exotics, dimes, dueces
at shows even rando's on OK Cupid
one out of three hold degrees we ain't stupid
move with or get moved by my fucking movement
my niggaz break hearts, break laws, break jaws
suckas trying to play ours then we'll probably break yours
break, pause why hit ya?
I should make you off yourself like Hitler uh

{Chorus}

Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Who is the Nycist of them all?
Mirror, Mirror on the wall
Who is the most clever? fuck it whatever

I be wildin so i wrote rhymes and made hooks
I bet life look nice from facebook
Like this my status that serious
Tell me whats a smartphone to a fucking idiot
usually i be geekin but fuck all the silliness
Pressin niggaz for results yeah im on some midi shit
Lost in my own world u ever seen insidious?
Shit could get grotesque muthafuck a hideous
so let me get, some rellos and a couple remy sips
Know when you wit a lord everything luxurious
I knew I'd spazz on this beat when i felt the chilliness
Why not they playing this on XM flow is so Sirius
The microphone is mine yeah i'm talking so imperious
I'm ill for the sake of rhymin i'll say im the ileus
But thats a real word too you dudes is oblivious
From evil, God deliver us, the end of my expenditure is here

yo I'm here, yeah yeah come on
{Chorus}

Rising Sun what
team who the fuck
yeah whatever, ya'll know who clever
