As Long As You Know - Homeboy Sandman

I shed dead weight

And look for signs and leave up signs that say «Wet Paint»

I’ll catch you later, I’m off to lose faith trying to get famous

Peep how a brother’s built

I hit the stage and went for days without my mother’s milk so now it’s hard to

sit still

Where almost doesn’t count I’m at the counter trying to break a big bill

And just about to get killed

I’m taking me time in the meantime

Anything I wanted to do and wasn’t able was 'cause the label wanted lead time

I’ve called some timeouts where my hands had made the «T» in time

But just the referee didn’t see in time

But don’t complain, those broken plays will have results I guess we’ll see in

time

But yo the iron can be so unkind

But knew deep in my soul that god would make it so, if god was so inclined

Them bars is from a distance

New right away they’d be relatable if I had only said em different

But let me say 'em how I want to say 'em

You can play 'em if you wanna play 'em

I’m covered in stars, the new moon burns the full moon itches

And scars, I let my big wounds heal without stitches

I kick it, as the golden ticket for niggas and bitches

I know that’s ambitious

I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’m sorry that I made you cry but I’m just a jealous

guy trying to keep in mind that patience is a virtue

But at least say some shit in person should you happen to take it personal

'Cause otherwise you like them other guys who got a couple faces,

each and every conversation, tell a couple lies

Sure there a reason god made each and every one of 'em

I don’t judge 'em I’m just happy I ain’t one of 'em

But stand in front of 'em a one of one

Ain’t had a battle ever wasn’t won just 'cause it wasn’t one-on-one

Wins and losses for the law’s breakers

Middle finger to the odd’s makers

Boy Sand King Solomon

Truth hurts, I got a high pain tolerance

Before you ask me what the name mean, take a walk inside a daydream,

venture off to out of way streets

I’ll be copping sneaks

Browsing the A.M.

and the Metro and Muhammad Speaks

But yo, it’s peace
