Ay yo, Homeboi,
I got some questions for you.
And I want you to respond
to the children,
to the foes, to the world
your answers, let us know.
Here we go.
You back my homie
where the hell you been?
On the grind err’ day
have you been lost in sin?
Man the game dun changed
have you been listening?
Is you putting in work
ready to submit it in?
You back my homie

Yo chill, man i been with my daughter
tryina to be a good father,
but there are times that her mother
tries hard to take that from her.
So i’m back with the flow,
to grind for that dough
because I’ve been missing it.
But not as much as my daughter’s love
I’m in need of it.
To all the fathers out there,
I can feel your pain.
To all the kids out there,
not all men are the same.
Heart broken with lots of pain,
I know life ain’t the same,
when I ring the bell and no one is there,
bad thoughts go in my brain.
I try to be right there,
mother sometimes don’t care.
They say I’m never there,
but baby girl i swear,
daddy never left your side,
rep my blood line full pride.
My love for you won’t die,
so when they ask me wondering why?
You back my homie
where the hell you been?
On the grind err’ day
have you been lost in sin?
Man the game dun changed
have you been listening?
Is you putting in work
ready to submit it in?

What’s up with this new music,
this ain’t really hip hop.
Don’t ever put me in there,
in fact you can keep that spot.
You claim to walk as champions,
but you ain’t got the scars.
You say you rap the realist
but you ain’t write them bars.’
You can keep that stylo
& ima stick to mine,
this is Homeboi music
foes come at me and try.
Straight hood when I spit this thang,
when I’m at it you can’t complain,
yo get in the ring & get ready to bring,
all that hatred you got in your brain.
You think you can mess with me,
you can’t get the best of me.
So take your shot,
as I counter & block,
every bit that you brought to me.
Shoulda gotten more prepared,
more fortitude down there.
Yo hunger is lacking,
& now i’m attacking,
the chants are everywhere!
You back my homie
where the hell you been?
On the grind err’ day
have you been lost in sin?
Man the game dun changed
have you been listening?
Is you putting in work
ready to submit it in?
You back my homie
where the hell you been?

These are the strings of life’
strum them, but don’t cut them,
why’
harm the balance?
To take away the inspiration?
To suffocate the imagination
of a child’s life?
The father figure is a hero,
& the music is food for thought.
What you feed them is
as bad as plastic;
pollution on ocean spots.
Rhino is our symbol of Hip Hop
and I’m tired of you causing harm.
This is my early warning,
I’m declaring war on y’all.
Ready to fight right back,
put back that life on track.
Shout outs to all the children
your future, take it back.
If your music is lacking lyrics,
then hand it back so that’
you can back track all those throwbacks,
by asking Homeboi are you back!?!?!
You back my homie
where the hell you been?
On the grind err’ day
have you been lost in sin?
Man the game dun changed

Is you putting in work
ready to submit it in?
You back my homie
where the hell you been?
On the grind err’ day
have you been lost in sin?
Man the game dun changed
have you been listening?
Is you putting in work
ready to submit it in?
