A$AP Rocky drops the “Sandman” piece produced by Kelvin Krash & Clams Casino. Listen, stream, buy, read the lyrics, mp3 download.

A$ap Rocky Sandman

Rapping over Clams Casino production that fits seamlessly within the context of LIVE.LOVE.A$AP, Rocky compares himself to Frank Lucas and Stanley Kubrick before dedicating the back half of his second verse to the late A$AP Yams. Musically addressing the situation in a way we haven’t necessarily heard from Rocky, the Harlem native is straight to point, and warns of the dangers of the life he lived.

Accompanied by a new, red, white and blue version of the iconic LIVE.LOVE.A$AP cover, “Sandman” is the perfect closer to the decade-old mixtape and is a pleasant reminder of the type of music A$AP Rocky is capable of making.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh (Eastside), yeah (Yeah, Eastside)
Welcome back
We’ve been missin’ you
This what they been waiting for
Crash Course (Rest in peace, uh, Eastside Steevie)

[Verse 1]
My mind like George Lucas, I think like Stanley Kubrick
House full of eucalyptus, that boy straight mucus
So, let’s get straight to it, my chain is this humongous
Permanent bling my tooth is, yeah, I’m a strange human
This insane jewelry collection, it’ll take a week to shoot it
Record an album with Mercedes, let GQ EQ it
I think I’m Frank Lucas, slang where my boo thing school is
A straight A-student, boy, the brain stupid
Leave it all in the past now, walls talkin’ back now
Back to the wall, with your wall to the back, don’t back down
Buck up, tell ’em how the fuck your mama ain’t raise no bitch
Gloves on the dashboard, mask on the lat’ now
MAC on the lap, on the hip while the red-blue lights in the background
Cops wanna pat down, just pray the clip don’t (Click, click)

[Chorus]
Merci beaucoup, just like Moulin Rouge
And I know I can, can, and my spirit stand, stands
I say Voulez-Vous Coucher for eternity
Let’s go meet the sandman, let our spirits dance, dance

[Verse 2]
Uh, on the skyway to Hell, with smiley face jewels
‘Cause I’m a boss, I call the shots, you makin’ calls
‘Cause if I take a L, then they gon’ take the loss
If I’m on my way to Hell, then I’ma take you all
Girl, I’m not supposed to be here, still
Rap careers last three years still
I’m a G here, that’s OG times three
Triple OG, still just shows I’ma be here still
At 3-0, got bitches on me and the females still, let ’em be here still
At twenty-six, my nigga OD off of lean, codeine and pills
He’ll be here still

[Chorus]
Merci beaucoup, just like Moulin Rouge
And I know I can, can, and my spirit stand, stands
I say Voulez-Vous Coucher for eternity
Let’s go meet the sandman, let our spirits dance, dance

[Interlude]
Rest in peace to Yams, I done lost some friends
Until we meet again, we gon’ forever dance, sleep
Voulez-Vous Coucher for eternity
Let’s go meet the sandman, let our spirits dance, dance

[Bridge]
Uh, yeah, yeah (I’m just)
Uh, yeah, yeah (I’m just)
Uh, yeah, yeah (I’m just)
Uh, yeah, yeah (I’m just)

[Chorus]
Merci beaucoup, just like Moulin Rouge
And I know I can, can, and my spirit stand, stands
I say Voulez-Vous Coucher for eternity
Let’s go meet the sandman, let our spirits dance, dance
