Sands of time

"Talkin' out ya ass wasn't really the right look
If we'd had Tweets mighta caught a two piece and a right hook
Pen and pad turned into the path that my life took
Sometimes I been mistook for a halfway crook because I'm a book you can't judge by the cover
I worked 9 to 5 during the come-up
Yo, I even was a teacher which was cool because I got to wild during the summer
It been while since I got a shorty number and then took her to the roof to get a hummer"


Homeboy Sandman - Come Thru
(From the vaults; 2016/the internet; 2021)



Much prefer this late-2021 loosie to Sandman's new 2022 single tbh. My favourite Rap egghead on some Ahmad type shit - a Back In The Day jam on 3 different levels since it's an unreleased song from 2016 which kinda sounds like a lost Fondle 'Em Records single from 1999. There's scienz of life in the old dog yet.

Press this song up on the cheapest quality vinyl, stick a fake Fondle 'Em logo on it, and then sell it to Cousin Balki for £500. Now that's what I call a mug shot.

  1. Definitely better than his new song, for sure.

    Doubt any of the yutes would have given him any grief when he was teachin'. Homeboy is a giant.

  2. Yeah, I'm 6'2 and when I saw him & Edan live he towered over me.

  4. Wonnit just, I was oblivious to the first Sandman song over Edan production until they performed it that night.
