Homeboy Sandman - Satellite lyrics

I've lived in a lot of
Different hoods I've called home
Made lots of different observations

When I walk around my hood I see smiles
Different styles people getting loud
Inches turned to miles hungry mouths
Waddup money buddy pal people under crowns
People under clouds people ‘round
People runnin wild
When I walk around my hood I see
Dogs cats birds people going to work
They’ll do that and worse for the last word
Might have heard
Lots of peoplе wallowing in hurt
Lots of people following the hеrd

When I walk around my hood I see
Fat burners on brick walls as fat burn
Fast learners that break laws
Block regulars in the same
Place on different days
Latter day saints catching rays

When I walk around my hood I see
Tree-lined aves weeds and grass
Fast cash from weed, trees, grass gracias
Seen a kid holding a wheelie on
A bike without a front tire
While wearing a backpack
Sneakers on a black wire

Elmhurst satellite
Sunset satellite
Lower East satellite
Satellite Satellite

Uptown satellite
Sunnyside satellite
Sutphin satellite Satellite

When I walk around my hood I see
Broken hopes smoking dope
Eyes looking comatose
People online for an okey doke joy, art
Beauty manifesting out the madness it's a
Blessing just to take part

When I walk around my hood I see
Buses and trains
Brothers that train like Clubber Lang
Trying to get a shot trying to find a spot
Myriad ingredients for flavoring
The melting pot
Busy running around around the clock

When I walk around my hood I see
The brightest and the best
And cars with speakers in the back
Enough to give you cardiac arrest look
I do confess that playing it by the book
Will have you on the hook for
Nothing more and nothing less

When I walk around my hood I see churches
Without the piety
Every variety of this and that to purchase
Flags people flag down cabs
Lots of moving parts popping
Shopping carts of can-filled bags

Elmhurst satellite
Sunset satellite
Lower East satellite
Satellite Satellite

Uptown satellite
Sunnyside satellite
Sutphin satellite Satellite

When I walk around my hood I see
Laughter and debate and lots of ads
And posture saying "not-so-fast"
When I walk around my hood I see
Lots of Jordans i do admit such
Uniformity’s exceptionally boring
When I walk around my hood I see laws
Not too many lawnmowers
Effect and cause and corner stores

When I walk around my hood I see
Jedis and padawans fedEx and Amazon

When I walk around my hood I see
The spectrum of the matter that exists
Lots of black lives matter fists
Not that that matter’s fixed
Recruiters saying "hi" not worried if
I die when I
Enlist and water From the fire hydrant mist
What a mix it can’t be recreated in a pic
It can’t be recreated in a flick or in a gif
What you see is not as
Much as what you missed
But what a gift that what you
See is what you get
