Текст песни HOMAGE - Rhakim Ali

It's the return of the vintage Carhartt wearing
The Stüssy rocking money deep in both pockets
Ask if I would take the fortune over fame
I'm just trying to leave with both options
That's why I always play the games like coach watching

Consider it a magnum opus
Stock going up I guess it's easier to notice
Last album went dummy that was barely off promotion
Thought he ran out of ammo until he reloaded

They wanna know why I think that I'm goated
Cause ten years ago when I was rapping y'all ain't notice
And I ain't give up halfway I never folded
I ain't have motion I was going through the motions

Promises getting broken
Violence is getting chosen
Silence filling the room cause words are unspoken
My ego can't kill my career like Hulk Hogan
Shed tears to fill an ocean

Under Armour ad had the streets hot
So now I gotta speak in code cause they eavesdrop
And though I need not to speak like I seek props
The dreams coming true but I don't sing Japanese pop

So if we talking top five know I'm taking three spots
The last two y'all could give to whoever y'all think hot
Catch a wink by the ink pot
They wanna hop the fence and got they fucking chain link popped

Nowadays I'm trying to stay proper
You here for the show just spare me the drama
We done took our loose change and made it to commas
So y'all ain't gotta pay in homage just pay me in dollars

Overcame they gave me the honor
Monte Carlos Chevy Impalas
We done took our loose change and made it to commas
Y'all ain't gotta pay in homage just pay me in dollars

2019 felt like a bid
2020 I was locked in the crib
2021 I tried to forget
2022 I had to forgive

And this heart got heavy but I knew that karma would bless me
Cause you can't mix karma with envy

All that just past my interest
Had fun now it's back to pimpin'
Ain't odd that we move like God
But to worship yall? That's a sad religion

Don't let me get involved cause it's just gone be bad for business
Some things I can't explain I really wish I had a witness

God talked I had to listen and I'm mad I didn't
Bad decision after bad decision thought I had a sickness

I was focused on the cash and women ass and linen
You could catch me passing Lennox
Known for breaking happy homes
I was trying to smash the tenant

Long nights would last a minute always knew I had the vision
Now I'm focused on the present moment cause the past is finished

Thoughts could bloom in the darkest room
These mental calisthenics
You can take your one fall
I'd rather win it by submission

This for all my niggas with no pot to piss in
Working to get rich we trying to cop them Benz's
Chrome frames fuck around and pop the lenses
Real deal Holyfield we is not pretending

This for all my ladies with they goals in tact
When it's summer time you don't know how to act
And when it's something wrong you blame your zodiac
My phone on DND please do not call me back
