So Strange Here

[Intro: Sample]

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

[Verse 1: Homeboy Sandman]

My dude

I'm in the Czech republic standing on a balcony nude

I pass up art for making art that I'll be able to clear

I'm told if I don't shave my head then it might hurt my career

I've wrote too much to memorize all my lines

I'm scared to share my thoughts

People get mad at me for changing my mind

If now I'm in the game why's it so hard to find a teammate?

Everything that's showing is a sequel or a remake

And every kid that's on the bus got the same kicks

Not only that but got the same dreams and the same wish

Shit that used be black and white is getting orange

Shit that used to be alluring's getting boring

Thought they loved me for my bars and my hooks

It turns out they love me cause of where I'm from and how I look

I never felt so sane

Success and failure never felt so same

It feels so strange

[Chorus: Sample]

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]

My dude

I woke a million miles away from my original muse

The very soil on which he learned to conquer Mario 3

Build a fire, and out-maneuver any mark of the beast

I speak an alien argot, New York amass in his tongue

The vibe is basically martian, they smell the Jack in his blood

I ain't the kind that use New York as a crutch, I use the force of the funk

Enjoy the work and earn my portion of mush

On a tour of the wild frontier, lying awake

I tell myself it's all to broaden my societal take

And while I sorta still believe it I'd be lying if I

Didn't admit I’d like to curl up on Long Island and die

It's not a science, nomads crash land antsy

Whether badlands or in back of the Plaid Pantry

Stick a flag in, the claim don't fade, find shelter and await old age

It feels so strange

[Chorus: Sample]

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

[Verse 3: Homeboy Sandman & Aesop Rock]

I'm not complaining though

I got the contra spray with cupids arrows

Hitting shit I wasn't even aiming fo'

It's entertainment even shit that people hate me fo'

That's what they pay me fo'

Yo

And honestly

My fuck ups turn to gold so much the thought of fuckin up don't even bother me

So I keep it auto when i'm stepping through a portal

I know that sounds strange but, strange beats normal

I'm not complaining though

That's the way the daisy grow

We hide away and try to make

The best of what's available

My older homies think I'm kinda sorta schizo

I feel the same of y’all, but don't consider it a issue

We can openly embrace it or be trained to mostly tiptoe

Where shame becomes a staple in the nature of the crypto

That's a baseball through your window, a roach up in your shawarma

I know it sounds strange but, strange beats normal

[Outro: Sample]

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here

Now it seems to be so strange here
