I Saw a World - Homeboy Sandman

Cape drying washing my tights

I’ll never take Washington’s side

I love Washington Heights

Way we live is not for the kids

Even though it’s all «just kiddings» and «sikes»

«Yo you blessed ma»

Is that a blessing in disguise?

Keep your head to the sky

You won’t see the heads on the spikes

While the buck keep passing like the passing of time

Presence of life

Notables amongst nobles and peasants alike

But worlds’ll collide

Even when both being polite

One side didn’t ever get the chance to decide

If OJ’s better than Sprite

That’s the only way Woody’s better than Snipes

Don’t tokens get tired?

Guess tokens way better than swipes

12: 01 at the ball

I guess balls better than strikes

I HAD A DREAM AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE

I SAW A WORLD AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE

Crack a smile, dap, and hello

To blacks that are cowards

Black and yellow, black and yellow

Don’t see too many abbots I see a lot of Costellos

Maybe it’s because we born and bred to keep purple on our mind like we was

Donatello

How can you ever wag flagella In a room so cramped there’s barely room for

jello?

The writing’s on the wall Ain’t any pics on the wall except Danny Aiello’s

From the belly where the temp is 20 below I bellow out a note like Aaron Neville

I do my best to try to be my brother’s keeper

But he won’t keep it on the level

Proclivity for sympathy for the devil

Because their poppas were rolling stones

So they taking poppers, rolling stoned

Their eyes are glassy

Their house is glass but they be throwing stones

I HAD A DREAM AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE

I SAW A WORLD AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE

Another Friday night writing

Finger nail biting

In hiding

I could hear the children outside fighting

Politics as usual

Pow

Another UFO sighting

Perfect timing for some cheer and good tiding

But someone convinced a whole society that’s not exciting

So I’m famished waiting for something fat

I feel like Jack Sprat dieting

The pressure’s as if deep sea diving

Watching every move as if back seat driving

Nothing’s private

Can’t trust Verizon

It’s event horizon

Night out and night in I recognize the conniving

Eyes to the divine that designed the environment

And assigned the assignment

Surviving
