My name was this My name was that Now that my name been nixed My aim is wisdom No more parlor tricks I’m too hard to track Nonetheless I exist Outside the system I’m too blessed to stress Too strong to wrong I am too cool to fool Too calm to con I am too fresh to fetch Too healed to heel I am too free to flee too real to kneel Now that the time and place To corrupt time and space Has become commonplace I’m on the case This is all just a game There ain’t no need for shame There ain’t no need for change No need for pain Thanks to my guiding grace I’m alongside the greats I am inside the gates Ain’t no more sour grapes Where’s I before’s askew, now I’m straight Where I before was screwed Not I’m chaste CANT SOLVE ME I DON'T EVEN CARE TRY AND CALL ME I DON'T EVEN HEAR I AIN'T EVEN HERE Gather round boys and girls Lemme tell you a tale Of a new kind of brain That does not have a name But will always prevail Give in and give it up Don’t mind overriding your serotonin inhibitors Leave on the lights All the stars are aligned At this time I would like To thank god i’m alive On the day I was born Everything was foretold When the first thing I saw Was my own broken mold When it gets late at night Sometimes I lie awake Sometimes I’ll take a hike Sometimes I hibernate All that I have is now I do not have a past I do not walk a path I do not have a plan I remain free to choose That which I want to be That which I want to do That might be news to you But it’s not news to me So let’s cut the crap Go ahead zip your lip While I go bridge the gap CANT SOLVE ME I DON'T EVEN CARE TRY AND CALL ME I DON'T EVEN HEAR CANT SOLVE ME I DON'T EVEN CARE TRY AND CALL ME I DON'T EVEN HEAR I AIN'T EVEN HERE Had to turn off the screen Put down the phone Which was good for my health When I’m all by myself I am still not alone When I go overseas I remain overseen When I go down the road It is all kings and queens When I keep company I don’t go after things I let things come to me Till they land in my hand Because it’s rude to grab That is the way I got Everything that I have None of which I will keep ‘Cause I like letting go Much like the autumn leaves Much like the fallen snow Or the clouds overhead Must continue to move Or the day and the night And the sun and the moon I don’t ask how or why But observe what and when I am not one of you I am not one of them I am a one of one That’s for sho' Being me 101s All I know I DON'T EVEN CARE I DON'T EVEN HEAR I AIN'T EVEN HERE
I am proud to announce. This is officially my 11 yr old daughters fav song! Big dad smiles when I catch her bobbing and lipsyncing! Thanks Mellow & Boy Sands!
This is the first Homeboy Sandman single I've really listened to (with a trained ear, but not so..analytical that I can't enjoy what I am listening to). He makes dope singles, same as Aesop.
Homeboy sandman makes me confront that lyricism isn't the most important thing to me in Rap. Because he's god tier yet like I'm not that big a fan of his bumps
