Paying Homage by K.A.A.N. Lyrics
[Intro]
Ha! Lawd! Ha! Ha! Lawd!
I swear to God that I never wanna be famous
There's tears upon the page, you participate in my anguish
Forever scarred by the pain, I'm emotionally distinguished
Lawd! Lawd!
[Verse]
Just tell me I'm next
I came in the game for respect
And my goal isn't cashing a check
For the glorious gold, or luxurious stones
For your fist, and your wrist, and that sit on your neck
When the vision has risen to give and connect
As I resurrect, what you're least to expect
When you never suspect that you've been a subject
And you live in these moments of riddled suspense
Taking my time, creatively shout with a speed
Where the flow was unique
And you know that you need it to break the barometer
Burn a thermometer
Monitor you through a moniker
Singing the blues all I need is harmonica
Searching for clues that my future is promising
Problems predominant
Giving you prominence
Flow dominatrix, the nation for dominance
Thanks for the compliments
If it was pure and [?] we acknowledge it
Came from your hatred inside I abolish it
I was too novice to notice reciprocity
Probably stuck in the depths of my honesty
Constantly giving you written velocity
Ominous lyrics with spirit they hear it
They fear it, they better revere it, abandon the man in the mirror to master facades
To produce a mirage
Bombard
I feel like a fraud
I leave 'em appalled
I have conversations with God
I feel like he's gone, for he never responds
I'm giving my life in these blasphemous songs
Reciting a Psalm with blood on my palm
My pain is adorned
I'm having a nightmare that keeps reoccurring
A daily occurrence
I need reassurance
That I could survive in the current
I'm floating in water, they sent me to sea
I was never alive
I played with your mind
And a rhyme I provide
Containing my pride
I try to confide in a rigorous line
But all I wanna say is that I kill it like nobody ever did it
'Til that motherfucker feel it
[To become the realest villain?]
The illest but lord willing
I'ma make it to the top spot
Can't stop, won't stop
Working for this shit, Jay-Z, Dame Dash
What you talking 'bout a scheme [?] my lifetime
Nigga yeah I had to study the craft
And if I'm doing the math
I was only three and half when Reasonable Doubt dropped
Hov in the 'Lac, it's a [?], never disrespect
They're ready to die
Cane still stuck within my brain
Lyrically insane
Everyday you struggle you probably take it in vain
By a notorious nigga named B.I.G
I'm sure you all know the story about the fame and the glory
[The animal's kind of gory?]
They take a shot at the messenger
Real man of the capital
Punishment that was criminal
Let me take a seminal moment to sentimentally plagiarize my favorite rhyme of all time
You could shoot the whore dead in the middle of Little Italy
Little did we know that we riddled to middlemen who didn't do diddly, gotta be fucking kidding me
And I'm aware that my flow was off, by at least a centimeter
But the point I'm trying to make is that I wanna be a legend revered
For every effort that I put up in a sentence
Just to get attention
Elegance I'm givin' was written with the intention
Stem within the session for any [animal?] mentioned
I extend with indiscretion, is life really a blessing
That's the question I've been asking while thinking 'bout it [?] to insanity
I've been over the limit with the consequences of the addiction that I've been living with
Becoming ignorant, never give a shit, get belligerent, then deliver it
I've been moving too quick
I slow it down so that people can hear my intelligence
Never irrelevant, prevalent, malevolence
Oh so cold out when I freeze in the [?]
I want perfection, correcting your negligence
Cannot forget the magnetic immaculate Makaveli the magnificent
When your first single is Brenda that had her a baby
Describing the plight of the innocent
Never so intricate
That's how we got you to listen in
That was so different
Now niggas sloppy they all carbon copies lord
[Outro]
I swear to God that I never wanna be famous
There's blood upon the page stained by my pain and my anguish
Forever scarred and marred
Abstaining from positivity
Murdered this shit equivocally
Pray that people are feeling me
Lawd!
Ha! Lawd! Ha! Ha! Lawd!
I swear to God that I never wanna be famous
There's tears upon the page, you participate in my anguish
Forever scarred by the pain, I'm emotionally distinguished
Lawd! Lawd!
