Ruslan - Sandman (Song) lyrics

[Hook 1: John Givez] 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 [Verse 1: John Givez] 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" Pa**in' out injunctions, n***a stay out the way, ni**a 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 [Hook 2: John Givez] 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 [Verse 2: Ruslan] 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 [Hook 2] [Hook 1]
