YO WHEN IT COME TO SANDMAN IT'S NO DEBATE
Non lethal
What a hunk
On the hunt for other free people
I love to free people
I love to see people
Way more than cc people
When it’s time to cut it out I put a cork or stick a fork in a lot
I’m about to take a very pleasant walk up the block
They call me passionate for passing on the pork chop
And never doing what I ought not
I ball socks
And throw them in the hamper at long range
People think that rapping qbout that action is all strange
Every rhyme I’m trying to make a small change
Not out here rapping for your small change
I pause to say a prayer, wait
I know that people love to player hate
Go figure, I just let it slide
Figure skate
Figure 8
At every dance I do the twist of fate
In every class I finger paint
So who's going to be the lucky winner whom I administrate?
I seldom strategize, I tantalize and titillate
And casually obliterate
The okey doke mistaken for the facts
And know the hack to make it happen, don’t be on the apps
Or grind a axe
I been thru altered states but I’m in tact
And know the code to charm the cobras and the diamondbacks
And beautifully uncommon in your almanac
And grew up say a-men over ramen packs
The reason why I’m so relaxed
And robust instead of overran is everything that overlaps
Every moment I get offers but I know the catch
I’m a nomad wit a office and a home attached
I’m a man not a mascot
Homeboy Sand I’m a have not a have not
Grown up without a dad bod
Luck without a shamrock
SO WHEN IT COME TO SANDMAN IT'S NO DEBATE

That’s not freedom
I see you all join em
I guess you can’t beat em
So much for Antietam
Don’t call me conceited
‘Cause I ain’t conceding
If something misleading
I think I’d miss leading
If I remained seated
Like I’m in agreement
That would be so grievous
I’m voicing my grievance
Instead of being quiet
You feel you’re required
To make me compliant
Feel free to come try it
I triumph
All that bias
And Joe Biden
I don't buy it
It’s just clowns trying to build a empire
It is more sound taking down the entire
House of cards, I’m fitting to cause it all to expire
That’s a better look, I’m looking out for trip wire
Leaving those squares without no spares and a flat tire
Cultivate the suntan for the vampire
Come to lend a hand till the whole plan to distract fam backfires
Big facts the big fat liars who stand pat and preach towards choirs
Are so tired
Sometimes
You may have to be outside before the sunrise
Rise and shine,
When it come time for you to take sides better not be shy
Better decide
Better say hi and not hide
Before you end up hogtied which is a hard time
To end up in a porcine bind
Now you’re paying court fines for the hundred twenty forth time
Fire in the furnace furnishing the pork rind
I’m just being earnest like I’m Ernest Borgnine
One time
For your mind and mine
The tourists who arrived through divine design
And wound up alongside your stank behind
Thrown together like Frankenstein
So being frank is
Fine
Peace God
Keep it Frank like Frank Drebin from the files of Police Squad
Now that wasn’t so hard

I am the legend
No comparison
Past and present
Kind and impassioned and compassionate, way past pleasant
No offense in the flesh in effect
Beneficent
Made it to the farmers market
Grew up the from the farting armpit
Word
I made it out the heart of darkness to the rent controlled apartment
My dogs be barking from so much walkin on water in defiance of those tryna make the giant more shorter
I come out smiling if you put me in a corner
Till such course become the norm, you’re getting warmer
Metalurge a nickel to a Buffalo quarter
Skipping across the Canada and Buffalo border
The only way
to become a Jedi knight is have a Jedi day
A nice streak of those ‘fore you decompose
I know that feeding souls is not in vogue that’s why I speak in code
God only knows
The usefulness of things to which I stand opposed
The reason that I don’t be eating animals
And rep what matters most
That you will not be reading in The Post
So children start believing in adults
I am open to suggestions
The leading cause of cancer is to answer stupid questions
It's God that understand the plan that I’m destined
Being off the gram make me all clandestine
And out of the loop
No wonder I’m never jumpy or jumping through hoops
I just watched
Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon it was way cool
Shout to universal truths I knew in grade school
Not the type to make a mountain out of a molehill
But am the type to make an ocean out of a wade pool
That was today’s jewel
Horses and donkeys fall in love and they make mules and whinnies
I’m about spreading love and so I make rounds of towns and cities
Fist bump adults and kiddies
And stand up for pups and kitties
Been to the puppet show and seen the strings
But can’t talk people into things
Try as I might
So I’ll just be there for them
They’re going to do what they like
Some people seem to think that I am out of my mind, but I do not mind the stares
Some people tell me that I am ahead of my time, but the time is not mine it’s theirs
My niece made fun of me about my old phone
Made me recognize the situation's full blown
Hardly been a year since she had got one of her own
She was barely old enough to leave her home alone
This is how I moan and groan to console from counting clones till cows come home
Society is a facade
That take advantage of people who don’t believe in God
That only birth em to work em until they breathing hard
But this is just the undercard
Me, I’m more into being spoiled than in soiling my undergarments

Fourth Day of Christmas

Not an easily discouraged person
Following the current
Spiritually undernourished person
Click the button on your stopwatch
Clock who up to something at your local mom and pop shop
Let’s hear it for the magi seer
At the brainstorm session with a bright idea
That all deceiving lies steer clear
That knows the reason why we’re here
An offering from the oft off kilter
Wit the high tech water filter
Proud to prefer chill pills to rob and pilfer
And poppin pills and downing pilsner
And blowin smoke
And other boring trope running jokes
Same amount of letters in "drown" and "float"
There’s way more that I have to do than stay brown and croak
Drop off a present, say "hi," and bolt
Too in the present to buy in bulk
Folks
Let’s make eye contact
Get to acting like a icon stat
You are
Shining star, no fumar
I grew up around White Castles like harold and kumar
I paint pictures with different brushes
But no crutches
And no rushes
Just when it seem like my immense momentum is diminishing
I put on the finishing touches
Before I got on a roll I used to roll dutches
Dudes, wattup duke
Dames, wattup dutchess
As of lately I have not been using any cusses
Previous the evil villain had me in his clutches
Whenever I am feeling out of sorts
I work on my connection to the source
Laws of attraction strengthened by subtraction of useless distraction I am not someone that watch a lotta sports
But read a lot
I’m in eden I don’t really need a lot
And off the grid so see you later bots
Once I was an addict to the additives in tater tots
Somehow sitting pretty in a city in a state of shock
I write another line followed by another line
Whispers of another life I lived in another time
And always getting into some delight
I have a home I don’t need anyone to underwrite
You might have seen me on the cover of Life
My senses aren’t duller under color of night
And represent the very forthright
That’s standing up against the fourth reich
Nice
Truth is no conclusion’s forgone
Just know that it is darkest before dawn
Holding court before God is important
Portland’s the capital of Oregon
My bad it’s Salem
Even when I lose I win
Cows’ll jump the moon before I ever watch the news again
I prefer applause but I will never cave to boos again
I may get the blues but I will never turn too booze again
Point out strengths, not flaws
Follow God not laws
Water crops, drop jewels
Follow God not rules
Peace

Even as a baby I never used car seats
"Taty and Angel" in all the wet concrete,
My voice carries like a donkey
The resurgence at your service like barkeep
Respect given my specs are spectacular
Destroy and rebuild with the ill vernacular
It’s about to be a doomsday massacre
I’m about to be the new Count Dracula
But only to start fresh
Stop mistaking the manipulation of dark flesh
As something fit to make you say “ah yes”
Reality is perfectly obvious
The blind leading the blind's a terrible time
The dumb leading the dumb is terribly glum
The deaf leadin the deaf's a terrible mess
Surely you jest

Paradise or imprisonment?
Love is a many feathered bird well isn’t it?
I have a mind that I’m losing
At least I’m going loony with a delusion of my own choosing
I believe in miracles
It’s sadder being serious, the data is empirical
Which makes for smooth sailin
On hidden cam i did a jam with Eddie Van Halen
I’m not an ordinary cat
God is alive in me
I hate that ordinary crap
The first time that my lady ever sat on my lap
I knew that God was giving me a pat on the back
I switched from humble pi to lemon meringue
Cause all that I’m afraid of made up like the big bang
So everyday I give thanks
Despite the replayed delayed teenage angst
Taken to its logical conclusion
The frequencies that ain’t in tune are cruising for a bruising
So I would never choose the subterfuge and the illusion
MEDIA CONTROLS YOUR THOUGHTS
NOTHING REALLY MATTERS ABOUT SPORTS

Sometimes I’m making a move
And run into a delay
Sometimes I get in a mood
When I end up on a route
Then I end up in the way
I’m never trying to be foul
I’m only trying to be fair
But I ain’t trying to be down
Or trying to be scared
And so I said what I said
Because I thought what I thought
And we wound up in a war
But that is not what i want
I only wanna be loved
That is all that I seek
So you could keep the routine
And keep the critique
But yo I love when you smile
Or when you’re making a face
You’re the girl of my dreams
You’re a part of my fate
You’re my ace in the hole
You’re my flower in bloom
You’re the light of my life
You’re my stars and my moon
You are always the sun
You are the never the rain
You were always the one
You are never to blame
For making anything worse
It’s been that way from the start
You give me heaven on earth
I hope you take this to heart
But why you all in my mix
Telling me what to do
Why you do that to me?
I don’t do that to you
Always lending a hand
When didn’t nobody ask
Think it come from your fam
Think it come from your past
So now you taking offense
Want to be mad
That is word to my moms
Word to my dad
Can’t you cut me some slack
Can’t you show me some grace
Can’t you get off my back
Give me some space
But I don’t wanna any space
I always wanna be close
That’s how come I proposed
And I’m proposing a toast
When I’m spiritually broke
You throw me a bone
Baby we should elope
Take this show on the road
When I be doing the most
You still don’t leave me alone
Baby you are my homey
You are my home
There is no one like you
Love you for the rest of my life and my afterlife too
But put yourself in my shoes
I know that I ain’t perfect
I’m a person trying to work on my issues
I do not be getting short or have a short fuse
So why I always got to be the one to call truce when we don’t share the same views?
That ain’t right
I know you probably feel that inside
But you don’t wanna hear that insight
Make me feel just like I’m losing my mind
I’m not always trying to be kind
Is that such a crime
You show me is
Each moment I live
You show me your gifts
That’s why you’re my wiz
And you've been my wish
Since I was a kid
And now you’re for real
It’s impossible to explain the way that I feel
It’s impossible to explain how grateful I am to you and to God
That we are a team
You bring me peace
We’re peas in a pod
It's not you when I’m unruly
Don’t mind me I get moody

I drop heavy
Po nine's counting the fines they can’t levy
Laughing at the premise that I’m good for one penny
Peep the independence y’all going to need to come get me
Example to my niece never need mimic
No need to even speak of a speed limit
Wheeling in the 2012 civic
This is dirty looks not a dirty limerick
I got the same agenda
Here for thwarting the defrauding with the warm and tender
Water fire earth and airbender
Monkey out the barrel of unparalleled splendor
Unavailable for comment
Riding on the tail of the Hale-Bopp comet
Nothing come close it’s not common
This is no joke it’s not comic
Gosh darn it
Golly do I got bars
Got garb
Don it
Holla allahu akbar
Nothin like a pop star
Iconic
Every time I pops up pocket neither blade nor tool
My pops and momma didn’t raise no fool
I could tell the difference between a diamond and a jewel
I could tell the difference between a goblin and a ghoul
Testaments that look like chicken scratch
Writing utensils that look like cricket bats
I’m just here to offer congrats
Love to see you happy you won’t need a snappy comeback
Offline
Seeker of lost time
Squishing supermarket 25 cent slime
Before you get your highs and wines imbibed
Look to the horizon, rise and shine
Once you’re comfortable
It’ll come to you
Peace be unto you

Living by fear’s hard to swallow for me
Being real weird’s not a problem for me
Whatever goes down I don’t call the police
You're just a big clown if you call them on me
Each day I make tunes way too groovy to sell
The news is all lies and the movies as well
If you’re still under hypnosis then you needs improvement
This morning i had a ferocious bowel movement
I learned the horrible deplorable
Are all exquisite during my visit to the oracle
I don’t believe in alternate dimensions there are more of you
In this one there are 3 or 4 of you
No obscene cursing
You should commit a b & e just to see in person
I’m the dream merchant

Mono’s chilling
Sand is chillin
Flavor
Way more taste
Less filling
Less filler
Been since, handle my business
It’s all bismillah
You don’t want comp or combat one scintilla
Better off to contact a contract killer
I’ll romp wit Godzilla
Both hands and throw jabs at Dracula
Eligible bachelor
Wiping out the vermin wit the vernacular
Spectacular
Quantum leap without Scott Bakula
Couldn’t see me wit a binocular
Lord of my dominion armed with an opinion that is not popular
Bruh
Everybody want heaven but nobody want death
I’m just here to ring the alarm for those who slept
Once I’m moving ain’t no snooze to make the kid pipe down
There ain’t never been any time that’s not right now
Even though I’m smart a lotta people think I seem dumb
Just ‘cause all I wanna do is things I never seen done
Once I do em everybody reconsider at once
Then think I’m smart for like the rest of that month
Guess what
Living the dream on free lunch
Probably about the only one that Scotty ain’t beamed up
Hating energies please munch on deez nuts,
Would you like to add fries? have em deluxe
Is it better to be feared or be loved?
My personal preference is being weird and being bugged
Two out in the bottom of the ninth being clutch
Pop up outta nowhere when your line being cut
Human nature
Make me say "shucks"
Parking tickets only showing the tip of the glacier
Doctors never told me nothin about echinacea
A+
Anyone that showed up at a drive and gave blood
Or blessed a starving artist with a dime while they busked
Or gave they seat up to a pregnant lady while she riding the
Bus
From humblest beginnings all the way to sitting pretty pretty much
Cop pulled me over just to prove that I was sober closed my eyes and walked the prime meridian
If you ain’t grow up my neighbor ask the natives about the name that you could trust
One
Uno!

Folk be on prime and hulu like flies on doodoo
Use your noodle
Go find something to do
It was written, the whole kitten kaboodle
Biting for forbidden because getting bitten is brutal
They say I should be flattered
First couple of times I was then it became a pattern
Jackin leave you hollow like a jack o lantern
Creating gives you wings for running rings around saturn
Black brainwaves matter
So I never wrote a rhyme about your brains being splattered
Minds achieve enlightenment when you silence all the chatter
What a paradise seeing paradigms shattered
I don’t take no for an answer
But love to take “i don’t know” for an answer
It furthers nothing tryna bust a nut
But trusting in the gut can cure cancer
So I be letting go
Because the temperature can change at any second and last winter there was record snow
So I got the firewood stacked high
That I might retire from the fire I was baptized
Capsized, washed up on the shore
Newton’s laws laid down the blueprint for the nuclear war
Stop and smell the morning glories put your faith in the lord
Beware official stories do not put your faith in the lore
Somebody said know thyself
Aka hold thyself, control thyself
Aka slow thyself
Aka free thyself, aka don’t flee thyself
(Burp)
That’d be my belch
I got so many notches that I can’t see my belt
You should hightail over my apartment ring my bell
Need to stop denying that you really need my help

Representing since my jacking off age
Aww man I’m boy sand, jack of all trades
See I been done had the upper hand prepare to be amazed
In my fridge I got a couple brands of vegan mayonnaise
Know what I mean
My towels might look dingy but they're dingy and clean
There hasn’t been no half stepping since I stepped on the scene
Aw dag mister sandman bring me a dream
Fly jam
For anybody who still does dishes by hand
Facebook hashtag the gram
Forget that man
Thinking up a master plan
Hustle and the bustle of life
That much easier with flushable wipes
I’ll be in a couple with a couple of gripes
But I don’t go to therapists for couples advice
More mister nice guy
Standing against the pipeline
Looking on the bright side
Hardly ever compliant
Hardly ever tongue tied
Underneath the night sky
Surfing on a mudslide
Roads for easing on down
Look at Angel which label is he on now?
Recreating how the children in the hall sound
Regulating like a sheriff in a small town
According to the movies
I don’t sweat a single penny it is pretty groovy
Chick I got, number one cutie
Hip hop cop, never off duty
Guess that that’s the way that it goes
You can tell the sea happy by the way that it rose
You can tell the wind happy by the way that it blows
You could tell my joint happy by the way that it grows
C’mon

My name Boy Sand
I don’t like labels at all
The ones the drop records or the ones you get called
Why are these cats never on the ball?
Why are these cats always off the wall?
I don’t think they understand who’s the boss
They don’t make moves, I assume the loss
Make a emcee wanna break the law
I’m about to dissolve your whole so called
Problem solved
Another them problems that got resolved
So were they ever really problems at all?
Should have given it up to God all along
Word to flan
That is my word and my word is bond
Better learn the difference between brain and brawn
Before you go and try to date Eva Braun
HARINA DE MAIZ, PLATANO MADURO
Pack em in
I don’t film myself at the gym
I don’t come off inaccurate
I do not have that acumen
My own crusade to save the day
I don’t complain i pave the way
And ain’t too afraid to raise the stakes
I think that that is safe to say
If you learn there are no mistakes
Be a friend, clear your phlegm, if you bend don’t break
I do not DM trying to copulate
That is not the way that I operate
Folks told me to find a lane!
Whole idea sounded kinda lame
Add that move to the Harlem shake
Add that dude to the hall of fame
HARINA DE MAIZ, PLATANO MADURO
Job well done
Tryta find God not a job
Well uhm
Help you recognize the lines between the wise and dumb
Boy Sand from the land of the rising sun
You and I don’t lie, gotta rise above
Hell's bells
Beelzebub
So don’t waste no time trying to sell me some bud
Give me some us, show me some love
HARINA DE MAIZ, PLATANO MADURO
