lyrics

Homage

east coasting walking up 6ave
from the lower east side to union square
now wondering where the giant steps and the
shadows of the legends went
I can smell it on the limestone walls that seen it all
pull it up on on my screen like a scene recalled
Oh I can take the L train Brooklyn bound
Or keep stomping till grand central underground
in the tunnel hear the echo of the street performer
guitar case with some coins in it, drop a bill a comma
paused for a smile but she didn’t want an auto
focus on her I keep it moving so I bought a
bottle of water can you believe it only one dollar
four quarters did the job, shot like a baller
re2pect tip a cap to the bronx bombers
pay homage, cold winters long, hot summers
pay homage, cold winters long, hot summers

bless the Mecca of the microphone down to Tribeca,
one two checker, the main stage wrecker
breaker 19, breaker 19
I, hiphop uni-versity alumni
some nights just slower than average
I can take the pen and tame the savage
for the sake of saving the day it vanished
into a vacuum of data mismanaged
gotham is begotten by ghosts of the eras past
you can’t build without a foundation, errant path
the weight of history blended with gravity
it keeps me grounded on the pavement,
traveling backwards in axis,
all you gotta do is call the taxi
take you back to origins,
sombre mood I’m always in
pay homage in the crates sound foraging
pay homage in the crates sound foraging
