Homeboy Sandman - The Carpenter lyrics

The carpenter

Sand to the rescue
Hipper than ha-choo then bless you
I be in the lab dude
My respect due I should get a tattoo
With a test tube monkey that's a baboon
That’s my nephew, funkier than the bathroom
That’s the restroom
Way more than the back room
With the guess whos
I’ll be on the avenue making chess moves
Don't be gettin' fretful, at times I get
Forgetful, reppin' for the fresh few
Whippin' up fresh food beard like Moses
Kick it with the opposition to the posers
Planes be going 'neeeow' passing over
Each and every foe
Wake up and smell the Folgers
I don’t wanna hear how it won't work
That just means the whole earth
Hasn't done their homework
Early on I veered, then I soul-searched
Dug deep like a gopher, figured I should go
First, reason why I don't curse, reason why
I'm sober, reason I feel younger
Even though I'm older

Open your eyes and keep them on me

The Carpenter

Shot gunning for the leg room
End all of my fortune
Cookies "in the bedroom"
Type of cat that always
Repping in the rec room paparazzi Boy Sand
Rampant in they red room
As soon as I check one
‘Fore I even check two
You ain’t gotta say it once
Everybody guess who i be puttin’ checks up
Even when the rent's due
Ain’t nobody next up ain’t nobody next to
Moment that I enter recognize the emperor
So I be getting’ extra places like Bethesda

People see the homeboy
And they be like oh snap
And they be like oh boy
Shout to Japanese Cats
Chilling, watching Oldboy
People in New Orleans
Chilling eating po’boys
Just because I’m pro-life
Don’t mean I ain't pro-choice
Reading Dostoevsky don’t mean I read Tolstoy
Used to be had no voice
You can see that’s null and void
Nas is like "I Am" I'mma be like "Yo Soy"
Now I'm making big noise
Playing with the big boys
I don't mean the Big Noids
B, I mean the Sig Freuds

The sun gon' rise
Open your eyes and keep em on me
The sun gon' rise
Open your eyes and keep em on me
The sun gon’ rise open your eyes
They keep up on me
Indeed, Ben Boogz, and Deep, and homey

The Carpenter

I’m never gonna slow, I’m never gonna stall
I’m never gonna cease, I’m never gonna cheat
I’m never gonna cheapen, never gonna eat
I’m never gonna sleep
I'm never gonna sell out never gonna lease
More than ever in the streets
I’m never gonna leave
Cats claim that they believe
Then never take a leap
You won't never be relieved
You don’t never take a leak
My level is elite times in another league
Times the anomoly warn the diabolique
Cast blabber on the mic
Cats gather on the right
I’d rather make a left
I ain't frightened of the lights
I ain’t tryin to be polite
I’m fighting for my life
I’m fighting to the death
I’m down to pay the price
Ain’t no roll of the dice
Only one way to dive in
Take it to the depths
Don't mind if money’s tight
I’m done with wearing ties
I’m running out of time
Not running out of breath
Next thing you know presto, I'm
All up in the press, oh yeah you wanna bet
Make sure to stay abreast the carpenter
