Homeboy Sandman
The Only Constant
[Verse 1]
Stepped into the Mickey D’s and, well, ordered
Well water
I smile at family videos recorded on the clunky, heavy camcorder
That captured the involuntary manslaughter
We used to love each other different
Or more like used to love each other, isn’t it
Aside from analyzing being a twin
I fantasize ‘bout different chicks I see at the gym
Now you can go on Spotify and listen to Prince
‘Least that’s what scientists are teaching to chimps
Don’t ask me why I’m always flippin’ the script
I’m only tryin’ to prove I exist
My life is split up into blessings and distractions
I learn most of my lessons from infractions
Now everything is smoother since my girls is sugarin’ instead of waxin’
All my decisions are addition or subtraction
My hood is famous for the multitude of accents
Charlie Villanueva and Speedy Claxton
[Chorus]
And other folks you might’ve never heard about
But if you Google you can learn about
You might not get it if you weren’t around
Some info better spread by word of mouth
That’s why my flame is never burnin’ out
Here’s how it’s turnin’ out
[Verse 2]
I followed the Muppets ‘cuz of Gonzo
I followed the Lakers ‘cuz of Lonzo
Surfin’ the cosmos
Countin’ minutes in convos
Suckin’ the fillin’ out of combos
And off the glimpse but only God knows
Adios
Music industry dealin’ like the feelin’ of my tongue against a 9-volt
Facin’ firin’ squad without a blindfold
Got emojis from my godfolks
Couldn’t see ‘em ‘cuz I don’t have a iPhone
Like, “It’s been forever since we even knew him
Let’s send him some rectangles with X’s through ‘em”
Whatever, thought that counts
Pigeons never fly south
Sharks don’t ever lie down
See even better in the dark
My hood was famous for the gas tanks before the park
Queens Center and the McDowell’s golden arcs
[Chorus]
And other things you might’ve never heard about
But if you Google you can learn about
You might not get it if you weren’t around
Some info better spread by word of mouth
That’s why my flame is never burnin’ out
Here’s how it’s turnin’ out
