[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
