Evolution

[Verse 1: Homeboy Sandman] I'm vigilant and beware Of due dates for book reports and thoughts that shouldn't be there Balanced on the butt of the knife You aren’t different, I try not to limp in front of my wife I come to spread the wonderful news Up the stakes and face uncomfortable truths I be arguing whole rooms That's alright, I hold the floor Dropping jewels and breaking rules I think that's what those are for I'm content during a bomb threat Known to keep it on sked Right from the onset People ask me how I found my voice From on the wire and under fire I ain't really have a choice Professionals know who to call Ayo, I do this for the good of all Regardless of the credit, I'll be busy making edits Till I'm dead and gone Get involved [Chorus: Homeboy Sandman, Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman] My slang change I had good days and bad days Like Bruce Banner and gamma rays Tuna fish and mayonnaise, hey My slang change I have good days and bad days I'll rollout to meet you halfway Build a neural pathway [Verse 2: Aesop Rock] Where the olive trees flourish And a branch might expand across an aisle to encourage Another might shrink away, mercy is imperfect It nurses what it nurses, but the rest is sure to surface at will Adamantly practicing the lost art Of small talking with his community at the dog park “What kind of dog is that?” And “Oh yeah, this weather sucks” And “Oh yeah, I'm actually jettisoning some heavy stuff right now” Then you spit your whole life story out Too much information from the stranger with the horse's mouth Nobody here invited a horse I had to go and make it awkward just to quiet the chorus And I get that it defied the decorum But if I center the spirit, the bigger picture is a light in the forest For more people to come forward to and light their cigars I was born in New York, I'll retire in the stars Yeah [Chorus: Homeboy Sandman, Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman] My slang change I had good days and bad days Like Bruce Banner and gamma rays Tuna fish and mayonnaise, hey My slang change I have good days and bad days I'll rollout to meet you halfway Build a neural pathway [Verse 3: Homeboy Sandman] No really I read tea leaves and breathe freely I don't need me no machine to lie detect You can catch me sliding on the sly without a side effect It's not effects, it's the real deal I come here to really feast, tell 'em how you really feel Just diggin' in my cupboards, I discover a new color on the color wheel [Verse 4: Aesop Rock] Folk yelling "Run, run" Knowing I can run like light speed plus one It's funny, he always everywhere but never anywhere Whole time, stolen diamonds home inside the teddy bear Any anxiety’s fine so far Though I tend to go from zero to might-throw-a-car quickly Nothing says open arms Quite like an invite to the ministry of no tomorrows [Chorus: Homeboy Sandman, Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman] My slang change I had good days and bad days Like Bruce Banner and gamma rays Tuna fish and mayonnaise, hey My slang change I have good days and bad days I'll rollout to meet you halfway Build a neural pathway
