[Verse 1: Homeboy Sandman]
Sandman, greatest story ever told
Standing at your buzzer, come to deliver the motherload
Skin and muscle for your skull and bones
Vandal hood, sandalwood undertones
[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]
Aes is parachuting out the Piper Cub
In thick eyeglass frames, looking like the guy from Up
Lice turning wise guys into choir monks
Sing me something I can bump
[Verse 3: Homeboy Sandman]
Guaranteed apothecary blends
'Fore you bite the bullet, bullying imaginary friends
The harbingers of fury must be seriously dense
Being Republicans and Dems
[Verse 4: Aesop Rock]
Back from thе future with some bad news
Evеrything you ever loved is covered in a black ooze
While a cast of shadowy figures are in a back room
On some "pass the cashews"
[Verse 5: Homeboy Sandman]
So many heaters still in store
Exercising more is how I heal from feeling sore
Don’t mention 'bout no rappers how they passing me the torch
Y'all ain’t never seen the pure
[Verse 6: Aesop Rock]
Rappers are completely out of pocket
You make a thousand dollars and grow into power mongers
I leave a trail of talent show bombers whispering “Our Fathers”
Through they balaclavas
[Verse 7: Homeboy Sandman]
Tuned to how the universe in sync
In large groups, waiters bring me the check by instinct
It's about the mojo, not the money
I'm the Energizer Bunny, sonny
[Verse 8: Aesop Rock]
I split the sea in half first
But the rains came and washed away the chapter and the verse before release
Moses been capping, it's absurd
He can have it, I'm secure
[Verse 9: Homeboy Sandman]
I don't stay down too long
And big shout Wuhan, you'll prove me wrong
I walk the streets like Horus trying to find Set
Failure is a mindset
[Verse 10: Aesop Rock]
It's neither a discussion nor a dialogue
More a docu-series on you running from your psychopomp
The ferryman is here to usher you to fire and frost
Catch you as an eidolon
[Verse 11: Homeboy Sandman]
Up the volume on a nascent hum
Cats be spacing ‘cause I said it in an ancient tongue
Cats be arguing who’s number one
Meanwhile, I’m the gambler whose number won
[Verse 12: Aesop Rock]
Good to huff, puff and punch through a wall
Plus I could bowl 300 with a human skull
My tailor taking the measurements for your voodoo doll
Boom, you're as good as gold
[Verse 13: Homeboy Sandman]
2025 and just got Uber
The Sandman smoother, the land Sumer
Surging with the arrow or the spear
My listeners got cauliflower ear
[Verse 14: Aesop Rock]
First-ever standing triple backflip
Ready as I’ll ever be to land without a mattress
One last breath, jump up, grab his shins
Stick the landing, that's a 10
[Verse 15: Homeboy Sandman]
Stop saying living's hard
We all get dealt different cards
Maybe the problem is your poker face
Not only that, it ain't a sandwich if it’s open face
[Verse 16: Aesop Rock]
Harlem Globetrotters ticket buyer
Hit the motor on a motorcycle through a ring of fire
I wash out any sign of itsy bitsy spider
Who was once a gifted climber
[Verse 17: Homeboy Sandman]
I tune it out, the whole account's sus
To make sure I don't lose count, I don't count stuff
Quality over quantity
I'm a god, not a commodity
[Verse 18: Aesop Rock]
Damn, the man got soul
I dance out of bed like Grandpa Joe
Any stepping on my land, get your vanguard mowed
Pan left, Sandman go
[Verse 19: Homeboy Sandman]
No parental advisory sticker
I be the skinny-dipping city slicker
Please believe it, every day I pledge allegiance
Playing odds and evens with the voice of reason
[Verse 20: Aesop Rock]
Abominable Snowman fur coat
Vs a whole colony of church clothes
My keyboards only play earth tones
This note is burnt mauve
