RISE OF THE COMMISSION Lyrics by QUINTESSENTIAL ARTS©

Società Foggiana: A Sonical Signature

2025

[Skit 1]
FBI investigations point to the involvement of key figures
Within Boston organised crime but despite numerous leads
And circumstantial evidence, no charges have ever been filed
[Verse 1]
At the height of the Castellammarese War
A string of brutal murders and a power struggle led to
The demise of the two warring rival bosses of the families
By extension, the mob was organized in 1931
By Charles 'Lucky' Luciano
And hе'd take over as head of what would soon bе known
As the Genovese Family
Which then led to the establishment of 'The Commission'
An organized criminal enterprise governed by
The five families of New York
Seeing its rise during the prohibition era of the 1920's
Breeding sophisticated criminal enterprises through their success
In the illicit liquor trade and moved beyond the liquor business
To far elaborate illegal activities
[Verse 2]
For the purposes of maintaining order and secrecy
The Commission lived by a Southern Italian code of silence
Honour and conduct which stressed the significance of silence
In the face of questioning by authorities or outsiders
As well as non-corporation with authorities
This was known as omertà, tracing its origins to southern Italy
It governed the dealings between The Commission
[Verse 3]
Joseph Bonanno who ran the Bonanno family for over thirty years
Only to lose his power in 1960 when his plot to murder Carlo Gambino
And Tommy Lucchese reached the two bosses
He attributed his absence to being abducted
Which many believed was code
For being in hiding until the smoke cleared
[Verse 4]
The Lucchese family's first boss was Tommy Gagliano
Who let the towel loose due to health reasons
He was succeeded by Tommy 'Three Finger Brown' Lucchese
Who the family is named after
Lucchese was good friends with Carlo Gambino
Both of whom Bonanno wanted to bite the dust
Although the plot failed
In '78 the Lucchese family pulled one of its most infamous
And elaborate heists
Scoring five million US dollars
And an estimated eight hundred thousand in jewels
At the JFK International Airport
Vincent Mangano ruled from 1931
Until his mysterious disappearance in 1951
There's chatter about Albert Anastasia
Being responsible for his disappearance
In order to ascend to the throne
If the chatter on Anastasia being responsible for the disappearance
Of his predecessor is true
There's a karmic twist
His successor Carlo Gambino orchestrated Anastasia's brutal murder
[Skit 2]
In 1957 Albert Anastasia had settled into his barber chair
For a shave at the Park Sheraton hotel when
A five men hit squad shot him dead
[Verse 5]
John Gotti, nicknamed the Teflon Don was popular
For a number of things from murdering his predecessor Big Paul
To evading multiple convictions
[Verse 6]
Joseph Profaci, whom many know as 'The Olive Oil King'
Was the Colombo family's first boss
He ran the family until he met his demise at the hand of cancer
Evil eye succeeded Profaci as boss
However his reign was short-lived due to conspiracy
To murder Carlo Gambino and Tommy Lucchese
With the aid of Joseph Bonanno, he flipped
Told Gambino about the plot
And was thus banned from The Commission
