SO… FAM hasn’t performed as a full trio in a while… and tonight… WE DID. And it was so totes your goats awesome. ‘cause: One. - (I found out like a month ago that I apparently had a fan. And it wasn’t like a self appointed “fan” ‘cause they are a family friend of mine or someone whom I’ve known...

LYRICS:  Uh, even my minor mistakes felt like major fails These degrees of the damage from my dating ails Went from numberin’ gals on a rating scale blunderin’ over numbers, getting dumber bout the way I feel Hard to fare when every girl seems to pale In comparison, but when we pair, I’m prepared to fail ‘barassin’, and barrellin’ through the thickest ale heart on my sleeve, I’m wearin’ thin, so to no avail men are bearin’ these, tellin of their tales So when males can’t deliver, mixin’ messages like losin’ mail, That Dime in mind might as well be a dame in jail, damsel in this dress trouble tremblin’ behind her veil. despite cha diamond fine lines that cut your tail The pressures on and you make me feel cold as hell Can’t be the other half, can’t breathe as well When you’re in.. with your ex, to fall for you is hard as hail. So I’m lookin’ for a carmen san diego, Type to keep me on my toes, keep it en fuego Part audrey and monroe, gotta speak argot Who talks slow in convos to speed up my heart flow ..who can chill a bit…and just lay low ..While we dream a lot…and watch the days go Just have your body baby, like pharoah Then when we wrap it up, then we could catch a metro Or expo, subway, dependin’ on where we go, To flyin’ on an aero, and find some land to explo’ This love’ll explode, never feel the same so You’ll shine like day-glo, but daily, whatever yo Scared to bail, but mistakes that we’ve cared to know’s All we need to pass time, could be spendin’ play dough Some old souls sole goals, sweet tone memos Maybe you’re the one, let me know why I should say so

A Valentine's Day Quickie (Cover)

Aki's verse:

I've fallen too fast may i ask you for give me, chance in the glass to be passin it with me intertwine past of the crass that is in me. Killer fine ass... I'm an ass, sin is in me. Creedin' it's mass, thought of you on this man meat, I pray... I pray for you in Cambie I know that is low as the grass... man I can be. Might burn in hell, but alas, for one canny- kind of a lass that'll last in my brain; like B is the size of the bra that you're in. Thighs, in my eyes, you're a broad but you're thin, wait... let me rewind, rid the bra that you're in. Plus, when you lose clothes, I bet that you'd win. Girl, you on the map, but where have you been. No need to pretend, you're more than a ten. Oh, my lust was lost, then you brought it again.

Happy Valentine's Day!

FAM | Hologram feat. RATSKINEs - MernOwl INSTRUMENTAL USED: Duke Westlake - PROTO 3 (MC Showcase 2011)  LARACS: 'Bout to rap about her, and I don't even know her well... It's been a while, 'round 10 years... not to dwell... didn't recognize her, like she was not herself. Had me sayin' "Wait. Wow. that girl's Mernel?!" Smile the same though! Lookin' like She's always had the better days. Guessed 20 times, but really didn't get her age. Yet Singin like she Etta James, never be a better dame, forever ever youngin', forever never get ashamed. Couldn't just forget her name, 'cause it's very calm in sound. Was just tryna find it's rhymes, searchin' for a common sound... kinda missed her, 'pparently, this MISS IS' up in 'SAUGA now. Yeah I guess there's others, but she isn't common Wow - Smaller than a Gigabyte, kinda like she's MB Terra in the voice box, kinda like this MC tearin' the all empty, bring 'em to the M.D. she is killin' shows, riddin' purpose for the Emmy. --------- - "Guessed 20 times but, didn't really get her age" - Just an exaggeration of how I didn't know she was '92. - COMMONSOUND is the band that she’s a part of - " kinda missed her, 'pparently, this MISS IS' up in 'SAUGA now." - Mississauga City. "Wow - Smaller than a Gigabyte, kinda like she's MB Terra in the voice box, kinda like this MC tearin' all empty" - MB - double entendre for her Initials and the Megabyte amount of computer memory (which is smaller than GB), poking fun at her height -  Terrabyte is a larger amount of computer memory, used as a metaphor for her big voice (from a little girl haha), and it's big enough to fill a voice BOX -> She's got a "FULL" sounding voice, which beats the other singers 'cause they would sound "empty" compared to her

- " voice box, kinda like this MC" refers to a line in one a rap I wrote a year ago, on the topic of me being too loud when we try to record. My line was "Like a Bose voice box, volume on infinity..." "tearin' the all empty, bring 'em to the M.D. she is killin' shows, riddin' purpose for the Emmy." - She's beating all the other empty voiced singers so hard, you better take them to the doctor. She's killin' shows (concerts), but it's a double entendre for t.v. shows... and all shows are killed... then the Emmy awards would be pointless. All the other lines are straightforward

Original: Feel Me Flow by Naughty by Nature

So. A little under Vancouver weather, so felt like the perfect time to wrap up a song with that sunshine-y, beach-y feel. Rhythm's kinda wonky at points, and the p's cut out. But gotta start somewhere, right? Top picture in my dashboard was that one. So serendipitous.

Enjoy :)

The Words:

chillin villains like coldest killers of beats, murderin' music,

eating MCs like i'm nick cannon, so herd the sheep, 

so i can merk the meek, my trains of thought are swerving the streets

help the hurting ears, and hurting the heaps that're rapping weak

my prey are praying as i'm serving the masses

passing through to spit this passage, take names to take my classes

curbing chaos at the same time that i'm causing damage

rapid acid make them bouncing bunnies go rabid

taking-the-steps to make 'em hop on the band wagon

listen as i glisten, outshine all that bad rappin

keeping-em-clappin, 'plaud all that good stuff that i'm channelling

so flip to me, your fella don't have to know what happened

yeah i'm naughty by nature, 'though i'm not a star

catch me at your college, or playing at your local bars

making-a-mess to raise-the-bar, game and playing-it-hard

hip-hop's got a void, make some noise and all this space is ours

yo here me go, now holla if you hear me flow, just hear me flow

just hear me flow, just here me go

you're overstating your skills, don't ever undermine

never try to bite these nice bars, i am wunderkind

a rare one to find, never one to blunder lines

son beat's july heat, weather or not its summertime

...now bask in that, don't it feel nice

the rhythm feels loose, same time that i spit real tight

they like they way i write the goods, so i'm letting 'em buy

like i'm letting all those lines in like a till's light

with no brakes, jamming parties like Stalin

no stoppin, serving the hits up like it's topspin

and we're gonna steal the show like we're Kan's men 

often, we'll make 'em go Ye, so Common

sit back, relax, and breathe, kick off your stessin'

drink us in like iced tea, bringing you refreshments

blowing from your radio, feeling like nice breeze, 

feel-me-flow flows make em go "Ooh, I like these" 

-F

Hologram - Sandbox Instrumental Used - Line 'Em Up By Just Blaze IGNORE THAT PICTURE. MY FAMILY FRIEND MADE THIS VIDEO... X_X LARACS:

Way back in the sandbox, was rockin' the sandals, whack with the brand socks;fly from the ankles, while walkin' to school... not!; bike with no handles, and talkin' it cool, ha! Smile, show enamel, crest. - too much for the teachers to handle, us - pack of little skinny dudes, flockin' as vandals, guess, staff is done with watchin, thus, you call us channel stress. We will never cease 'cause the pack's stronger than camel chest plus, The herd of little cutie pies actin' scandalous, or bein' really girly 'cause really they were scandal-less, Girls were pretty, chill, still, hot like they are candle-esque in abayas, this ain't biased but, I'll buy ya' flannel dress buds'll gaya; just to try the periodicals, damn the tests. apparently they sucked at those, methodical to mammal breast. I'm very tired of them. Their thoughts are called to sample rest. Apples pressed, Capri' flow, Son I am the ample best. I spent my New Year's Eve writing this rap, my last rap in 2011. This song's about my classmates/friends and I back when I lived in Saudi Arabia for grades 1 to 4. "Buds'll gaya; just to try the periodicals, damn the tests. apparently they sucked at those, methodical to mammal breast. I'm very tired of them. Their thoughts are called to sample rest. Apples pressed, Capri' flow. Son I am the ample best." Gaya is a tagalog word which can mean "to copy/imitate" I'm sayin' my friend's will try to copy me, just to try and pass the periodical tests we had back then, 'cause they sucked at them and they tried to do that, so much that I got tired of them 'cause that's all their brains knew what to do. (Just pokin' fun at them haha) And that last line just says that I got a sweet flow, like Capri-Sun juice. And Capri-Sun was the best juice. How do you like them apples?

Merry Christmas from FAM! Lyrics: Francis Oh hello Missus, I'm glad that you came here, Come in for Christmas, and out of that rain, dear Man, this is FAM, You know that we're rockin' it Knock your stockin's off, get you hotter than chocolate Hook you up with those Christmas festivities, Get you feeling good, get down like chimineys I'm concerned bout your presence and the present Got you smiling and haven't even gotten to the presents  Aki Time to get cozy, get a blanket and then sit Put 'em couple mallows in a bath of chocolate Let 'em soak in, in their dip, then get 'em with a sip While you pop a bunch of kernels and then flicker on a clip It's fine if you're alone, be glad you got a home But if you really can't, you already know my phone That is far from wrong, we can do some poems Screw 'em Christmas tunes, you're my favorite song.
