[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
