The Ancient - Homeboy Sandman

People ask me if my life changed

Here’s what I might say

Not really

Not really

Just ran alongside a river in eastern Europe

Instead of 'round the lake at Flushing Park

Similar scenario

Same cardio

Top billing at long last

I be chilling in first class

I was chilling in economy

That didn’t bother me

I meet a lot more women

Having about the same amount of sex

Still a major shortage of cool ones

Shit, probably even less

Hard to keep a low pro at Whole Foods

It was hard to keep a low pro in homeroom

That shit is old news

So

Far as money I was always out

Now it’s always money coming in

I never worry about money now

I never worried about money then

I still don’t let nothing go to waste

Leftovers any given day

I spend about the same

There’s just a lot more left over to give a way

It occurred to me one show

I’m on stage where I used to be in the front row

That’s like a ten foot distance

It’s not a really big difference

Same guidelines as far as being the bigger man

Staying away from the yellow snow

I’m still Black Thought’s biggest fan

Just now I can call and tell him so

Folks make a lotta fuss

I got a lot buzz

I still could be a bust

Same as it ever was

Clear channel FM can kiss my ass cheek

I said that last year

I said that last week

Same world peeps

Even the same words, peep

I’ve always kept it real

That’s why I’m earning some real keep

Same pants, different crease

Same pan, different grease

Same Sand, different beach

Peace
