Made this from the voice recorded "Dow jones" from the project "Yes I'm on the phone, no, no one is there...."
It was written as a NY Freestyle in the studio to be played on Wrek 91.1 FM (Atlanta's Longest Running Hip Hop Block #39yrsofThursdays) On 05/14/26. They ended up going with Anon The Griot's "Lawry's" (https://anonthegriot.bandcamp.com/track/lawrys-feat-rondald-james)
Which I wrote the hook and backing (my) ad-libs for :).
There's also a DOWJONEs remix that features Christopher Darkcloud :)
(This is that remix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Lyrics :
1st Verse : Rondald James*
"What's up
What's down
How now brown cow
Finally over moon
lease on life got approved
need lime, lights, copyrights & Duvet
Don't ask what the lights are 4
Open door policy
Sans transparency
clear
clarity
money power respect
And whatever dies in the in between
One person's trash
Another's epiphany
summary
Of this culture
I'm living
Vividly
Figures figures
Were My Example
Figures figures
Any look like me
Figures figures
don't lie
But my folks are starving
Dow Jones
Is that you Jones?
2nd Verse : Christopher Darkcloud
The open market operations black
Now arranging color coded fear to disappear the savings veins extract
Crippled demolition, Hawks and Doves combat, neither conscience relatively clear on how to blaze the path
To hell and back
The duel mandate was separated by occams razor
Underwriting undermining sovereign rights demoralizing
Manchurian candidate renegade subdued behavior
Plant the chip, your fraction of a blank reserve converts to vapor
Sterilize life for a 50 year mortgage
The overdraft protection comes for free so you know your importance
Death before disolvement of the loan even postmortem may your bloodline boil out before your justice is afforded
They take the same commitment of some acres and a mule
Cause the coaches find their favorite play
Then carpet bomb a school
Wager war and peace on corny things like boards, gays, and gruel
Yet the slop sustains a stye detained by pacifying rule so,
Is that you? Dow Jones works my fingers to bones for class rule and single apartment rental homes
Its fast food, delivery of your every fantasy the grounds move, wrap the real estate in tentacles
