This Is For My Homiez

Pump funk for the people (Yeah, come around my way)

Pump funk-pump funk for the people (Come around my way)

Pump funk-pump funk for the people (Come around my way)

Pump funk for the people (Come around my way)

It's the Big Ill with the Al (Come around my way)

It's the Big Ill with the Al (Come around my way)

It's the Big Ill with the Al (Come around my way)

(This is for the homies now) It's the Big Ill with the Al

I got a letter from my homie Big Ill in the mail

It said, "Use your head, Al, stay away from jail

Cause ah, it ain't for you and ah, it ain't for me

I tell you now it ain't the place you wanna be"

So I keep to myself nowadays

Lay back, kick flav' and get paid from my phrase

Sometimes I get caught in a deep thought

As I drink a quart of the cold Olde Gold that I bought

The more I drink, the more I start to think of him

Locked up in the clink, will he sink or swim?

I'm what they call the rap rebel Madball

I'm nice with the dice, watch 'em bounce off the wall

I come to your party, bounce through with my crew

We pourin' out some brew for some homies that we knew

I'm searchin' for my homie but he can't be found

I wanna give him a pound and let him know that he's down

Where the homies? (Creepin through the hood, come around my way)

Where my homies? (Ayo, up to no good)

Where my homies? (Creepin' through the hood, come around my way)

Where my homies? (Ayo, up to no good)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah) Where my homies?

Where they at, where they at?

Creepin' through the neighborhood

It's a different thing (A'ight, a'ight, yeah, yeah)

For all those good times we had together (A'ight, a'ight)

This song is for the homies

This is for the homies (Yeah, yeah), come on

Well, it's Big Ill, the babblin' bum, the bum that's babblin'

Don't try to step to this, my fist be travellin'

Unravellin', land on the gravel when you fall

Yes, yes, y'all, I travel through the mess hall

Now where my homie? I'm by my lonely

I shoulda listened to what my mama told me

But it's too late, I'm upstate pumpin' weight cause I'm frail

What ya gonna do when you get outta jail?

Bust a cap, bust a cap, put that ass on the map

Here's a slap in the grill 'cause you tried to front on Ill

And I'm locked down, baow, how the Glock sound?

That's what you get for tryna blow up the spot, clown

That's the ability, load up the artillery

Your body I'll deliver to the river, G, remember me?

With the (Crooklyn residency)

Now you can take me outta Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn outta me (This is for my homies now)

Where the homies? (That's how it be, G, creepin' through the hood, come around my way)

Where my homies? (Ayo, up to no good)

Where my homies? (Creepin' through the hood, come around my way)

Where my homies? (Ayo, up to no good)

Raise your forties (Raise 'em in the air, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

For the missin' homies (It's a different thing, yeah)

For all those good times we had together (Yeah)

This song is for my homies

This is for the homies, yeah

Well, it's the I to the L to the L

Straight out the cell with Al, from the fiery pits of hell

Ayo, what's up, Big Ill, how ya do?

Ayo, what's up, Al Skratch, now can we woo, woo, woo?

(Come around my way) That's what I'm about to do

(Come around my way) Ayo, I wanna kick it with your crew

Now one, two in the project halls with the Madballs

Every day all day from 56 Broadway

But I'm Big Ill comin' straight out the pen (Right)

B to the K to the L to the Y to the N, baow

Let off a round, how that sound? (Right)

Ain't nothin' goin down without the Brooklyn and the Uptown

Yeah, so where my homies at? (They're over there)

Now do they got my back, do they got my back? (Yeah)

Don't creep through my hood in the wrong way

(This is for my homies, this is for the homies now) Now let the song play

Come around my way (Creepin' through the hood, raise your forties)

Raise 'em in the air (Ayo, up to no good)

Come around my way (Creepin' through the hood, for the missin' the homies)

It's a different thing (Ayo, up to no good)

Come around my way (For all those good times we had together, shipped upstate)

(Ayo, it's too late) Come around my way

This song is for my homies (Shipped upstate)

This for the homies now (Ayo, it's too late)

Come around my way (Creepin' through the hood, raise your forties)

Raise 'em in the air (Ayo, up to no good)

Come around my way (Creepin' through the hood, for the missin' the homies)

It's a different thing (Ayo, up to no good)

Come around my way (Shipped upstate, for all those good times we had together)

(Ayo, it's too late) Come around my way

This song is for my homies (Shipped upstate)

This for the homies now (Ayo, it's too late)

Come around my way

Where my homies?

(Come around my way) Where my homies?

Where my homies?

Come around my way (Creepin' through the hood, raise your forties)

Raise 'em in the air (Ayo, up to no good)

Come around my way (Creepin' through the hood, for the missin' the homies)

It's a different thing (Ayo, up to no good)

Come around my way (For all those good times we had together, shipped upstate)

(Ayo, it's too late) Come around my way

This song is for my homies (Shipped upstate)

This for the homies now (Ayo, it's too late)

Come around my way

Where my homies?

Where they at, where they at?

Creepin' through the neighborhood

It's a different thing (A'ight, a'ight, yeah, yeah)

For all those good times we had together (A'ight, a'ight)

This song is for the homies

This (Yeah)
