Sandman (Song) Letra

I was the one to stay, I won't feel lost
Mr. Sandman, nearby the water
Mr. Sandman, can't go no farther

Sunny San Diego, Oceanside, Californ-i-a, the homie rang my phone today
I'll tell you what the homie say, "The police they ain't playin' no games"
Passin' out injunctions, nigga stay out the way, NIGGA STAY OUT THE WAY!!!
Black man, ooh soul, white man wit a tan, oh and Mexican
Yes I can, yes I can talk to you, I'm not far from you
In these streets it's like loss for you, but your loss
Lost a few friends, made some new friends in the pen
They let you out and you go back again, I'm [?]
I got the gangsta gangstas sayin' I'm the one that can make the city come
To the amphitheater right on the water, rebelution stater, I'm a rebel wit a cause
I'm causin' havoc, play this at your liquor store or local 7-Eleven
Play this on your hood day, Redondo to Bull St., from Diego to Sactowm
If they tell you back down, tell 'em where you coming from, tell 'em where you at now
That's how we do, see a different color and the better matching equal
Don't let this world deceive you, yeah I got a word for the the Sandman
Tell him I'm about to rock it, get yo damn hands up

Brotha you can lean on me, I'm rock solid
Sista you can lean on me, I'm rock solid
Brotha you can lean on me, I'm rock solid
Sista you can lean on me, I'm rock solid

Me and the little engine we arrive at this place again
I'm tryna get away the Sandman wanna race again
Sin there's no replacing him, really I'm just a basic man
Really I'm just a silly man deep down inside but feeling this place cave in
Takin' myself to seriously, why everything gotta be so deep
[?] tryna stop the sign, my efforts be so bleak
I say that to say at the end of the day
Despite what you think you and I can relate
But often the sake of the city awaits
Now if we come together with this rap now, Sandman he gotta back down
Don't worry about my background cause right now
Even on this side of being rejuvenated and reunited
This pressure of moving forward, the kingdom's taken by violence
Real gangsters they move in silence, the hustlers, I'm speakin' for 'em
Made a living off of rap words, noway I can ignore 'em
So yeah I got a poem for the Sandman
Tell him we about to rock it, get yo damn hands up

Brotha you can lean on me, I'm rock solid
Sista you can lean on me, I'm rock solid
Brotha you can lean on me, I'm rock solid
Sista you can lean on me, I'm rock solid

Mr. Sandman, I had the rock
I was about to build, you told me stop
You told me run away, if only I
I was the one to stay, I won't feel lost
Mr. Sandman, nearby the water
Mr. Sandman, can't go no farther
