The Carpenter
THE SUN GON' RISE
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
THE SUN GON' RISE
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
THE CARPENTER
Sand to the rescue
Hipper than ha-choo, then "bless you"
I be in the lab dude, my respect due
I should get a tattoo with a test tube
Monkey that's a baboon, that's my nephew
Funkier than the bathroom, that's the restroom
Way more than the backroom with the guess whos
I be on the avenue, making chess moves
I don't be getting fretful
At times I get forgetful
Repping for the fresh few
Whipping up fresh food
Yeah!
Beard like Moses
Kick it with the opposition to the posers
Planes be going "eeeer" passing over
Each and every foe wake up and smell the Foldgers
I don't wanna hear how it won't work
That just means the whole earth hasn't done they homework
Early on I veered
But then I soul searched
Dug deep like a gopher
Figured I should go first
Reason why I don't curse
Reason why I'm sober
Reason I feel younger even though I'm older
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
THE CARPENTER
Shotgunning for the legroom
End all of my fortune cookies "in the bedroom"
Type of cat that's always repping in the rec room
Paparazzi, Boy Sand rampant in they red rooms
As soon as I check one, 'fore I even check two
You ain't gotta say it once
Everybody guessed who
I be putting checks up
Even when the rent's due
Ain't nobody next up
Ain't nobody next to
The moment that I enter
They recognize the emperor
So I be getting extra
Places like Bethesda
Sun!
People see the Homeboy
Then they be like "oh snap"
Then they be like "oh boy"
Shout to Japanese cats chilling watching "Old Boy"
People in New Orleans chilling eating po boys
Just because I'm pro-life
Don't mean I ain't pro choice
Reading Dostoevsky don't mean I read Tolstoy
Used to be had no voice
You could see that's null and void
Nas'd be like "I am"
I'ma be like "yo soy"
Now I'm making big noise
Playing with the big boys
I don't mean the Big Noids
B, I mean the Sig Freuds
Wooooo!
THE SUN GON' RISE
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
THE SUN GON' RISE
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
THE SUN GON' RISE
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
INDEED BEN BOOGZ AND DEEP AND HOMEY
THE CARPENTER
I'm never gonna slow
I'm never gonna stall
I'm never gonna cease
I'm never gonna cheat
I'm never cheapen
Never gonna eat
I'm never gonna sleep
I'm never gonna sell out
Never gonna lease
More than ever in the streets
I'm never gonna leave
Cats claim that they believe then never take a leap
You won't never feel relieved, you don't never take a leak
My level is elite
Times in another league
Times the anomaly
Warn the diabolique
Cats blabber on the mic
Cats gather on the right
I'd rather make a left
I ain't frightened of the lights
I ain't tryna be polite
I'm fighting for my life
And I'm fighting to the death
I'm down to pay the price
Ain't no roll of the dice
Only one way to dive in
Take it to the depths
Don't mind if money's tight
I'm done with wearing ties
I'm running out of time
Not running out of breath
Next thing you know
Presto, I'm all up in the press
Oh yeah, you wanna bet?
Make sure to stay abreast
THE CARPENTER
OPEN YOUR EYES THEN KEEP EM ON ME
