Homage

East coasting walking up 6 Ave
 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
 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
 Respect tip the cap to the bronx bombers
 Pay homage, cold winters, long hot summers
 Pay homage, cold winters, long hot summers
 Hommage
 Hommage
 Hommage
 Hommage
 Bless the Mecca of the microphone down to Tribeca
 One two checker, the main stage wrecker
 Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9, 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, data mismanaged
 Gotham begotten by ghosts of the eras past
 You can't build without a foundation, errant path
 The weight of history blended in gravity
 Keeps me grounded on the asphalt
 Traveling backwards in axis
 All you gotta do is call the taxi
 Take you back to origins
 Somber mood I'm always in
 Pay homage in the crates sound foraging
 Pay homage in the crates sound foraging
 Hommage
