Homage the Lion Killer - Once in a Lifetime Trip Lyrics

Hey yeah let me get a Sierra Nevada and shot of Cazadores please
Oh shit what up Homage! Long time no see bro
Ahh what up dude! Good to see you
Aye I've been following you on IG seeing you traveling the world and shit that's crazy
Aw yeah I just went to Southeast Asia for a little bit it was tight though
F*ckin A well let me buy you a beer and you can tell me all about it man
Shit I'm down with that, it's a long story though, check it out

As a child couldn't wait to get big
Didn't know how I just knew I'd get rich
But time moves quick, dissolves all myth
Soon grew into a man who didn't have shit
Did a bit of college got good grades
Till I saw their aim was to make good slaves
Thought "okay I'll just play the sales game
Till my name gains fame and I'll really get paid"
There I was waiting, feeling impatient
Thinking I ain't never gonna blow, let's face it
I hate this job, tired of my town
Woman that I love doesn't want me around
And so now I have a choice, sit and just gripe
Or travel the globe, live my best life
If you guess I traveled I'd say you guessed right
I quit my job and then caught the next flight, peace

Where'd you go?

Yo I'm going overseas where the palm trees blow in the breeze
Home on the beach with jet skis, know what I mean?
Rolling leaves smoking the green it's so peaceful
Escaping the evil, ditch the deceitful
I gotta see the world and experience life
See it with my own eyes instead of hear what it's like
And though it might be hard, I'm ready for that
I got machetes for that I'll leave your head in your lap
Flashback to the days leading up to my quest
I'm a sucker for sex I was saying nothing but yes
I was stressed cuz I went and got the wrong girl pregnant
Pussy wasn't even that good and I'm regretting it
She's keeping the baby, I'm going crazy
Had to tell my lady, knew she would hate me
Later on after me hurting my ex
Found out it wasn't mine on the paternity test, damn

What happened next?

So don't ask me how but I'm a bachelor now
Got my bags all packed and I'm dashing out
Touchdown in Bangkok fly up to Chiang Mai
The go to Chiang Rai and hop the border to Huay Xai
Slide into Pai where they all speak Thai
And the kids get high and go on motorbike rides
Say bye, go to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh
Genocide makes sunsets look blood red
Left for the islands everyone's smiling
Kids sell bracelets and get me to buy them
I dive in the sea, get high by the sea
Watch a boat full of folks capsize in the sea
Then I leave to go meet up with a friend in Bali
But he couldn't get a flight, said he was sorry
Then I lost my debit card that shit sucked
Had no bucks without cash you're f*cked
Went to Ubud where the monkeys are
Went to Gili Air swam with a bunch of sharks
Took a boat to Lombok to climb Rinjani
Twenty mile hike in a wet tsunami
Go to Kuta Lombok meet a nice kid
Everywhere I went had the only white skin
Dip to Manila and glance around
But couldn't help but frown cuz of the shanty town
Took a night bus up to Batad and saw God
When the beauty of the mountainside inspired awe
Saw Cebu City dudes picking through trash
Poor street begging young kid with no hands
Sad man some of this shit just ain't right
Widespread plights of pain of all types
That's what you gain from life when one roams
Three months later, time to come home

What was it like to come home?

So I get a ticket and I buy a plane ride out
And wow I'm quite proud I'm a changed guy now
Makes me realize how out of place this sounds
But a while back shit I used to hate this town
Now I look around amazed at roadways
How they're all paved and I don't worry 'bout rogue waves
Less stray dogs more clean water and more guns
But could probably use a few less cunts and more monks
Puts a lot of shit into perspective
Makes me realize all the prizes I'm blessed with
Makes me wanna get rich cuz there's opportunity to
Makes me wanna rearrange what I usually do
Makes me wanna use music to travel more
So I can go around and represent battle born
Gotta plan a tour, gotta buy some merch
Yo but first things first gotta write this verse

Wait so now you don't have a job or any money
What are you doing?

I've been at the pad making that freelance cheese
Sittin back writing raps to this C-Lance beat
That's me just a greasy slob with no job
Living low cost just beat off and smoke pot
Naw I'm kidding wait maybe I'm not but who cares
Yo I made it last show I got paid in a few beers
Oh yeah, remember back that the beginning of the song
How I was gonna be a dad but I was living all wrong
Well, I've been working it out with my girl
Everything's been going alright in my world
And the moral of the story is chase your dreams
Fly way overseas embrace the scene
When you get back shit'll be the same as you left it
But you'll see it different cuz you changed your perception
Thank you for listening while I rhymed this
A recap of my once in a lifetime trip
