Eyes
Homeboy Sandman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Time and space wrinkles
It gets deeper than my face wrinkles
So many time zones, time slows 'til I'm a dinosaur
With my name all around the connoisseur tonsils
I've taken everything this city has to give at last
All that's left to do is hibernate and build muscle mass
This shit's like living in a fuckin cave
This shit's like living in a fuckin cage
You could leave me out of your loop
Black, brown, poor, I'm not trying to be part of your group
Save the lecture and the swearing
Cause I don't care about how you feel about me not caring
The magic of my maturation
All the ign'ance just figments of my imagination
I represent the ascent from suspended animation
Sun

You seen 'em on they way up
And start believing they hot
But that don't mean that they us
I seen it all in they eyes
You seen 'em on they way up
And start believing they hot
But that don't mean that they us
I seen it all in they eyes
I seen it all in they eyes

Instead of being in witness protection
I'm in abundance or my budding skully collection
In pajamas at jobs that I don't juggle
When there's trouble I go to the no huddle
You wouldn't be the first to try and burst my bubble
But I'm still in the clouds just like the bear that sells snuggle
Except the bear is in a bear bubble
Peep the bear
Pair of supple breasts on his beard stubble
I stay in the zone
I don't swim with sharks
I float and they're just smart enough to leave me alone
I used to be the one that wanted people's hands to clap
People all up on me like I sat in front the transit map
Now I keep it low key like a baritone
Remind me of the time I got some pussy while my parents home
Just trying to get a nut and go unnoticed
Anything beyond that is a bonus

You seen 'em on they way up
And start believing they hot
But that don't mean that they us
I seen it all in they eyes
You seen 'em on they way up
And start believing they hot
But that don't mean that they us
I seen it all in they eyes
I seen it all in they eyes

Do what I gots ta
Like to send a shout out to my instagram imposter
Being a faker is nothing to get props for
At least you're not a fake ass mobster
At least you're not a fake ass poser
Fake ass posture
"Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Heart of america"
Set up on the ventricles
Laid up on the atrium
Hop up off the testicles
I give thanks
The glass isn't half empty or half full
It's all drink
A lesson to the fast women
Sosa's waiting in the lab
Don't be waiting 'til the last minute
Pocket mad mints at the bistro
The sargeant ran prints right after the freak show
After we ran sprints, I always hit the free throw
I'm boy sand, sweetie

You seen 'em on they way up
And start believing they hot
But that don't mean that they us
I seen it all in they eyes
You seen 'em on they way up
And start believing they hot
But that don't mean that they us




I seen it all in they eyes
I seen it all in they eyes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Homeboy Sandman's song "Eyes" reflect his introspective and observant nature as he navigates through life experiences and interactions with others. In the first verse, he contemplates the passage of time and the depth of his own experiences. He muses about the various time zones and the feeling of being outdated like a dinosaur in a world that seems suffocating and restrictive. He distances himself from societal groups and norms, emphasizing his independence and detachment from others' opinions.


The chorus highlights Sandman's keen insight into people's behaviors as they rise to fame or success. He acknowledges the egos and illusions that can cloud individuals' perceptions of themselves. Despite witnessing others' transformations, he remains grounded and true to himself, seeing through the facades and recognizing the essence within people's eyes.


The second verse delves into Sandman's resilience and authenticity in the face of challenges. He humorously mentions his eclectic collection of hats ("budding skully collection") and his ability to navigate through difficulties without faltering. Referring to himself as being in the clouds like the bear on a snuggle fabric, he hints at his peaceful detachment from external pressures and dramas.


Throughout the song, Sandman maintains a sense of humor and self-awareness, poking fun at imposters and posers while also expressing gratitude for the simple joys in life. He acknowledges the fleeting nature of time and the necessity of seizing opportunities before it's too late. The lyrics convey a mix of wisdom, sarcasm, and resilience, reflecting Sandman's unique perspective on personal growth and authenticity in a world filled with illusions and pretenses.


In essence, "Eyes" showcases Homeboy Sandman's ability to blend introspection with social commentary, offering a glimpse into his philosophical musings and keen observations of human behavior and societal norms. The song serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself, see beyond superficial appearances, and appreciate the richness of life's experiences, both big and small.
