The Stellar Ray Theory
Mach-Hommy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ayo the sun could never be pussy
He always come out
But some days he nowhere to be found
Know what i'm talking bout
Made it through the fires it was some drought
But the way that shit coming down
It's like the rain could never run out
Unlimited drops like sneaker spots got shoes for days
Yall n*ggas is workers you could really use the raise
Who became a entrepreneur from a jum seller
Some felon and i did it all under my umbrella
Tapes pouring like cats and dogs unlimited riches
This something vicious with the dumptitious catalogue
Tell Ghazi imma start my own empire
Not news i been fired do more than just inspire
I even threw some drip on the wrist like Myers
With the illadelph hockey jersey aint nobody flyer
Imma keep catching zoes til i expire
Been a goat since breakfast with the steyr
Within an arm's length
Shit hard when the rays don't shine
N*ggas finna blame the clouds or the rain in the sky
Shit hard when the rays don't shine
N*ggas finna blame the clouds or the rain in the sky
Shit hard when the rays don't shine
N*ggas finna blame the clouds or the rain in the sky
Shit hard when the rays don't shine
N*ggas finna blame the clouds or the rain in the sky
Trouble on my mind least i'm not in a bond with the things
To which these deaf dumb blind rappers is confined
When they shit flops they'll be hitting gunn line
Cause they know if sun don't shine then son don't shine
And all this (rain) will make it harder for them
It's only so long fake thugs can pretend
N*gga, you ain't live it, you witnessed it from your folks' pad
You scribbled it in your notepad, created your life
Never was impressed with lyrical matter
My shit built upon the backs of pure facts
And empirical data
While strategizing, chill out with the categorizing
You n*ggas spend way too much time fraternizing
Wonder why you piss poor
N*ggas be on message boards planting seeds of discord
Go get your front row seats for the greatest show on Earth
Next 40 days and 40 nights sure gon hurt




Shit hard when the rays don't shine
Nias finna blame the clouds or the rain in the sky

Overall Meaning

In "The Stellar Ray Theory," Mach-Hommy uses weather metaphors to describe the challenges of the music industry. He explains that just like the sun always rises, he will always come out on top even in hard times. Mach-Hommy then describes the unlimited potential of his music, comparing it to an infinite supply of sneakers at a store. He reminds his competition that he is not simply a worker, but rather an entrepreneur who rose from selling drugs on the street. He references his success with past mixtapes and boasts of his power to start his own empire. He also mentions luxury items he owns like a watch and a hockey jersey, which emphasize his superiority over others in the game.


Mach-Hommy then criticizes other rappers for creating fake personas and not actually living the lives they rap about. He believes his music is different because he does not rely on fictional tales, but rather on real-life experiences and facts. He lashes out at those who spend time gossiping and causing trouble in online forums, suggesting they are not true artists. He concludes by warning those who criticize him that they will suffer the consequences, just like the rain makes it difficult for people to succeed when the sun is not shining.

In the intro, he speaking creole. Haiti creole but the same as my country Seychelles creole. "Nou pa mouye lapli a tonbe" meaning "we didn't get wet even if it rains". Dope.
