Homecoming
Dessy Hinds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Destined with the lessons
Spit soon as my effervesence hit's
My cash is lessenin' and my gift
Got me second guessin' it
The struggles do bubble hard
Through the boiling point
Blowin' steam off for that green
Dreams that I understand
My mom got another man in her life now
And I finally met the woman that
I'm thinkin' I can wife
I want my livin' life, with contradictions
Contracts missin'
Feelin' so alive at time to times
It's like a nigga hardly livin'
Build infinite school in intuition
But that financial aid be my financial
Aid to pay my touring expenses
Just on a temporary temper when this kicks in
Into high gear start flowing like
Liquid and stick shifting
Rhymes that's dripping with mystic misfit's
Won't be the only thing
That's gettin' sickenin'
When they'll be praisin' the flow
Like holy water at Christening
Sometimes the vision is crystal clear
As well as carat glistenin'
It's just the list of feelings
And sometimes this is what I'm feelin' like
I'm sayin' thank you everyday for when
I didn't see the way
And thank you everyday for just
A little "I got paid"
You made my talent shine and reign on
The days on the days it rained
Gave me the confidence enough to be
With a crew for the game
And for that it's on for life (it's on)
It's on for life (it's on) it's on for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
It's on for life (it's on)
It's on for life (it's on) it's on for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm on top of
The world in just a heartbeat
The way the start weeks
Becomes too heavy without
The light I'm getting from the dark leaf
Practicin' art of no sleep
For weeks completely
Chase bank account more like a broke account
That's why they chasin' me freely
Think I got it but we ain't make it yet
Cause we from BK where your life
Is owed to break a debt
And niggas out to break your set
No vacay 'til it's time to vacate
With plates on the spaceous Lex
And only if the good book had us
Sayin' to get laced with checks
Then I be laced with checks from when
My first Nikes was laced with checks
And God just had me strugglin' to
Make it as the greatest emcee
Medic can't defend me without a
Pen to surrender me
Ain't happenin' long as I'm rappin'
In my heart so passionate
I'm sayin' thank you everyday for when
I didn't see the way
And thank you everyday for just
A little "I got paid"
You made my talent shine and rain on
The days on the days it rained
Gave me the confidence enough to be
With a crew for the game
And for that it's on for life (it's on)
It's on for life (it's on) it's on for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
It's on for life (it's on)
It's on for life (it's on) it's on for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
I said my crew got my back my poetry deep
I said my crew got my back my poetry deep
My poetry deep it never fail

Sometimes I'm feelin' like I'm
At times, I have a strong sense that I am
Destined with the lessons
Destined to learn valuable life lessons
Spit soon as my effervesence hit's
Express myself immediately as my vibrant energy rises
My cash is lessenin' and my gift
I have less money and I'm starting to doubt my talent
Got me second guessin' it
Making me doubt it even more
The struggles do bubble hard
The hardships become overwhelming
Through the boiling point
To the point of intense pressure
Blowin' steam off for that green
Releasing stress for money
Anoint me with musically lucid
Bless me with clear, insightful music
Dreams that I understand
Dreams that I comprehend
My mom got another man in her life now
My mother has a new partner

And I have met a woman I want to marry
I want my livin' life, with contradictions
I desire a life that is full of paradoxes
Contracts missin'
Missing out on lucrative deals
Feelin' so alive at time to times
Feeling incredibly alive at certain moments

Like I'm barely living the rest of the time
Build infinite school in intuition
Develop a deep understanding through experiences
But that financial aid be my financial
However, the money I receive for my education
Aid to pay my touring expenses
Goes toward funding my tours
Just on a temporary temper when this kicks in
Only temporarily content when this occurs
Into high gear start flowing like
Then, I start to perform exceptionally well
Liquid and stick shifting
Fluidly and effortlessly
Rhymes that's dripping with mystic misfit's
Lyrics that are filled with mysterious outcasts

Will not be the only thing that becomes unpleasant
When they'll be praisin' the flow
When people will praise my flow
Like holy water at Christening
Like holy water during a baptism
Sometimes the vision is crystal clear
Sometimes the vision is extremely clear
As well as carat glistenin'
And shines like a precious gem

And sometimes, I feel like this
I'm sayin' thank you everyday for when
I am expressing gratitude every day for

Not realizing the path I was on
And thank you everyday for just
And being grateful every day for simply
A little 'I got paid'
Receiving a small payment
You made my talent shine and reign on
You made my talent shine and excel
The days on the days it rained
Even on rainy days
Gave me the confidence enough to be
Providing me with enough confidence to be
With a crew for the game
A part of a team for my craft
And for that it's on for life (it's on)
And because of that, we are committed for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
My friends and I are dedicated for life

The world in just a heartbeat
The world, as if in an instant
The way the start weeks
The way the weeks begin
Becomes too heavy without
Becomes burdensome without
The light I'm getting from the dark leaf
The guidance I receive from challenging experiences
Practicin' art of no sleep
Engaging in the art of working without rest
For weeks completely
For weeks on end
Chase bank account more like a broke account
My Chase bank account is more like an empty one
That's why they chasin' me freely
That's why people are pursuing me without restraint
Think I got it but we ain't make it yet
I may seem successful, but we haven't achieved our goals yet
Cause we from BK where your life
Because we are from Brooklyn, where your life
Is owed to break a debt
Can be ruined by unpaid debts
And niggas out to break your set
And people are trying to disrupt your crew
No vacay 'til it's time to vacate
No vacation until it's time to leave
With plates on the spaceous Lex
With fancy cars like the spacious Lexus
And only if the good book had us
And only if the Bible instructed us
Sayin' to get laced with checks
To be blessed with abundance
Then I be laced with checks from when
Then I would be showered with money since
My first Nikes was laced with checks
Even my first pair of Nike shoes had the brand's logo on them
And God just had me strugglin' to
And God had placed me through challenges to
Make it as the greatest emcee
Develop into the greatest emcee
Medic can't defend me without a
Even a medic can't protect me without a
Pen to surrender me
Pen to provide my surrender
Ain't happenin' long as I'm rappin'
Won't happen as long as I'm a rapper
In my heart so passionate
My heart is filled with so much passion
I'm sayin' thank you everyday for when
I am expressing gratitude every day for
I didn't see the way
Not realizing the path I was on
And thank you everyday for just
And being grateful every day for simply
A little 'I got paid'
Receiving a small payment
You made my talent shine and reign on
You made my talent shine and excel
The days on the days it rained
Even on rainy days
Gave me the confidence enough to be
Providing me with enough confidence to be
With a crew for the game
A part of a team for my craft
And for that it's on for life (it's on)
And because of that, we are committed for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
My friends and I are dedicated for life
It's on for life (it's on) it's on for life
We are in it for life
It's on for life (it's on)
We are dedicated for life
Me and my niggas on for life (it's on)
My friends and I are committed for life
I said my crew got my back my poetry deep
I affirmed that my crew supports me and my poetry runs deep
I said my crew got my back my poetry deep
I reiterated that my crew has my back and my poetry is profound
My poetry deep it never fail
My profound poetry never fails
