95 Radios

[Intro: Open Mike Eagle]

Okay, it's quiet now

[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]

And we drove all through the neighborhood

Just sittin' in a car all-day

Tryna find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil

Pointed at the window frame

Tryna find a radio

All up in my grandma's basement

Slidin' all the closet doors

Tryna find a radio

And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know

But we couldn't find a radio

[Verse 1: Has-Lo]

Hard to express when the world is listenin'

Hard when you're sure that the world is not

In between P.M. Dawn, and Sun Ra

Wearing a suit like my school mascot

The Edison owl not a head in the crowd

Could match my technique and impeccable style (style)

Says the young Hassan

In the mirror while Tip's saying "rock-rock-on"

With my guy Stefan who despite the specs

Saw himself doing things he would live to regret

Anyway, reciting off top the memory

Burnt a little chia my laugh was Gimli (heh)

Regarding the guns I coulda shot

I'm more Dove might blow up but won't pop

Jigsaw blocks and hop the road home

Steps on the Ave where I played and roamed

[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]

And we drove all through the neighborhood

Just sittin' in a car all-day

Tryna find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil

Pointed at the window frame

Tryna find a radio

All up in my grandma's basement

Slidin' all the closet doors

Tryna find a radio

And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know

But we couldn't find a radio

[Verse 2: Open Mike Eagle]

The old me would drink a 40

And eat bologna, shinobi

On NBA Live, I play with Kobe

The OGs, I miss my old hood

Miss my homies, is lonely

The radio host is like they know me

The ocean with the seashell is how we floatin'

Was hopin' to hear the airwaves, I think it's broken

I can still play it if the tape resurfaces

Kept the old Boombox for just these purposes

Heard a day show had mine on there recently

People had a hard time finding the frequency

Piece of me show feels personal

Circled on all sides by used car commercials

It's worth it though, whole block listenin'

'Cept the kids, they so not interested

Implement new COINTELPRO's

Hooks, fit loops, copyrighted by Velcro

Whole sound changed, don't nobody want to sell those

Call the intercom yab this is my bellcote

[Chorus: Open Mike Eagle]

And we drove all through the neighborhood

Just sittin' in a car all-day

Tryna find a radio

And we wrapped both hands in tinfoil

Pointed at the window frame

Tryna find a radio

All up in my grandma's basement

Slidin' all the closet doors

Tryna find a radio

And the homies say they heard a rap song

Sounded like some folks they know

But we couldn't find a radio
