"Burnt Mauve" lyrics

Sandman, greatest story ever told
Standing at your buzzer, come to deliver the motherload
Skin and muscle for your skull and bones
Vandal, hood
Sandalwood undertones

Aes is parachuting out the Piper cub
In thick eyeglass frames lookin' like the guy from "up"
Lice turning wise guys into choir monks
Sing me something I can bump

Guaranteed apothecary blends
Before you bite the bullet bullying imaginary friends
The harbingers of fury must be seriously dense
Being Republicans and Dems

Back from the future with some bad news
Everything you ever loved is covered in a black ooze
While a cast of shadowy figures are in a back room
On some, pass the cashews

So many heaters still in store
Exercising more is how I heal from feeling sore
Don't mention about no rappers how they passing me the torch
Y'all ain't never seen the pure

Rappers are completely out-of-pocket
We make a thousand dollars and grow into power mongers
I leave a trail of talent show bombers
Whisperin' our fathers through they balaclavas

Tutor how the universe in sync
In large groups, waiters bring me the check by instinct
It's about the mojo, not the money
I'm the Energizer Bunny, sonny

I split the sea in half first
But the rains came and washed away the chapter and the verse
Before release, Moses been cappin', it's absurd
He can have it, I'm secure

I don't stay down too long
And big shout Wuhan
Yo, prove me wrong
I walk the streets like Horus trying to find Set
Failure is a mindset

It's neither a discussion nor a dialog
More a docuseries on you running from your psychopomp
The ferryman is here to usher you to fire and frost
Catch you as an eidolon

Up the volume on a nascent hum
Cats be spacing 'cause I said it in a ancient tongue
Cats be arguing who's number one
Meanwhile, I'm the gambler whose number won

Good to huff, puff and punch through a wall
Plus I could bowl 300 with a human skull
My tailor taking the measurements for your Voodoo doll
Boom, you're good as gold

2025 and just got Uber
The Sandman's smoother, the land's Sumer
Surgeon wit' the arrow or the spear
My listeners got cauliflower ear

First ever standing triple back flip
Ready as I'lll ever be to land without a mattress
One last breath, jump up, grab his shins
Stick the landing, that's a ten

Stop saying living's hard
We all get dealt different cards
Maybe the problem is your poker face
Not only that, it ain't a sandwich if it's open face

Harlem Globetrotters ticket buyer
Hit the moda on a on a motorcycle through a ring of fire
I wash out any sign of Itsy Bitsy Spider
Who was once a gifted climber

I tune it out, the whole account sus
To make sure I don't lose count, I don't count stuff
Quality over quantity
I'm a god, not a commodity

Damn, the man got soul
I dance outta bed like Grandpa Joe
Any stepping on my land, get your vanguard mowed
Pan left, Sandman go

No parental advisory sticker
I be the skinny-dipping city slicker
Please believe it, every day I pledge allegiance
Playing odds and evens with the voice of reason

Abominable snowman fur coat
Versus a whole colony of church clothes
My keyboards only play Earth tones
This note is burnt mauve
