[Verse- Homeboy Sandman]
All on my shelf
Different trophies I accumulated all by myself
Different ones I had to capture 2 or 3 at a time
Things get dicey, I be rolling the dice at the drop of a dime
Heard them whisper that this couldn't be life but they was living it so I knew that it just couldn't be mine
All my life I walked the line between the fire and ice, no appointment just a walk-in turning water to wine
All my injuries just heal on they own, all my family got a share in mine and never need a meal of they own
I thank god for all my friends they clean the lense of the scope
Outside the bubble facing trouble so I can stay in the zone
And my instruments for cutting is close
I go days without a check-in, only way I know of checking my pulse
Greatest way to learn a lesson's being left in the cold
In a sec you uneffected by the regular dose
I never had a rap cat get at me
This type of strength invites no enemy
I never had a project get shelved, I never got held
I raise hell, and been about faith, wasn't afraid to take L's
Vision of the ancients that's Angel
Modern day shepherd that's shed my dead cells
And I don't walk on egg shells
My first act took up the alto sax, lookit I sample death knells
At Bang Bang's wedding was named the best man
At Matt's two, both of my speeches off top
It's natural given a world that don't stop
Overseas invigorate the clip, outside you see the beaner
That's tax for taking them to Queens, I take 'em to the cleaners
I took first of a living breed and took it to a breeder
Which took me to a different place now take me to your leader
No breaking character, I been cast to play the captain
Rapping nowadays be like the Muppets take Manhattan
That's why I'm making haste 'cause imma have to make it happen
Let the beat play for a long time, let it play for a long time on this song
