Homage Lyrics

If you knew me before, don't judge me on my latest actions

Cause they give these haters the fuel to hate malicious satisfaction

Still making music, I'm still addicted to rapping

Pray I see them TV screens right before the closed captions

Now I remember way back, when I ain't have shit but three shirts and grey slacks

Dreams and aspirations of owning a Maybach

Buying momma a mansion, the true meaning of payback

Cause she been there through birth

When I felt like shit, she knew what I was worth

She tell me don't trust these hookers cause all they gon' do is hurt

And these boppers act like saints until my homies scream I charged

Got homies in Chicago, niggas strapped into my Nick Carlos

The ones you see in all black, I ain't talking Legend of Zorro

Begging God for mercy in the blood red Marcielago

Just broke up with my chick cause she fucking niggas that I know

And I'm like, ah well, I guess I'm mistaken

Trying to live my dreams and my homies trying to wake me

Meanwhile I'm smashing hoes I don't usually trust

I guess you can say that I gave in to the lust

Life is what you make it, that shit so contemplative

Just one wrong decision can make your whole life complicated

Going in wrong when you should've wrapped it up or just maybe waited

Then nine months later, you stuck with a baby

Don't wanna give these hoes the glory of being mentioned in songs

But it's the only way I can tell you what's going on

Cause keeping it to myself leads to me holding on

And trying to make it work when I should've left it alone

If you really want my attention, tell me your darkest secrets

Share every detail, give me reasons to believe it

I might put up a front but my intentions are deceiving

You might think I'll hit and go but I'll stay and pick up the pieces

Remember back in 09 when I thought you were so fine

I was only a freshman but felt like a senior the whole time

It's senior year now I'm wishing, damn we should've had more time

Foot race to your heart, you knew I'd run the whole nine

You said I changed, my emotions got harder

Told you we were growing close, we grew apart farther

Act like I wasn't bothered when my emotions were slaughtered

Now I'm with them niggas in the car blowing perc to the carter

They moving keys like pianos and one of them testianos

Fresh off the lot moving pop out that warfare like new camos

Now they pledge their allegiance when Lick City is speaking

Young sophisticated niggas got sweaters on but our pants low

Got swole on these haters, they ain't flex back

Tripping over bitches, my first thought was never sweat that

Stayed up waiting for my dream girl to text back

Taking major hits off incidents and minor setbacks

Keep my cup full like a chick with hella cleavage

Gun on safety like that bitch was playing defense

And you'll catch a bullet pass while your niggas throwing flags

Like referees when they see you celebrating before your team win

Young and ambitious, you are the fictitious, I hope you religious

But the way that I kill it would even make Jesus malicious

Hey you and me what's the difference, go and look up the definition of a menace

And you'll see a picture of me in it, get it

And get your wig split quick fast and in a hurry

Young educated nigga that got the industry worried

But I'm only 17, I should be the least of your worries

But everybody's judgmental, tell me who else on the jury

You keep saying that you real when I know you ain't

And I keep saying that I'll quit when I know I can't

Cause rapping is my second religion, consider me a saint

And all I spit is Picasso, cover your ass in paint

I told you that I'll never leave, I know I broke my promise

But I'm just trying to get my shine like some shoe polish

Only 17, I got everybody astonished

I don't ever ask for much, just pay me an homage

Thanks for watching
