About This Track

'HONEY' sits as the eleventh track on iridescence, built around a sample of Beyoncé's 'Dance for You' that shifts into a beat constructed from the group's own 'BUMP'. The production bounces with enough momentum to pull you into motion, the kind of track designed for the live setting where its energy can fully detonate. The verses pivot between desire and disquiet. One moment the song luxuriates in material want; the next it turns inward, acknowledging the failure of systems to protect Black lives and the numbness that follows repeated loss. There's a sharpness to the writing here, a willingness to name the contradiction between personal ambition and collective grief, between what you need and what you cannot control.

"HONEY" is a track by BROCKHAMPTON, from the album iridescence, released 20th September 2018. The track is 3:15 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about BROCKHAMPTON.

Lyrics

HONEY

My arms are always open
Your fears always rollin'
And they deep and you can't control it
What you want, what you want, emotion?
My arms are always open
Your fears always rollin'
And they deep and you can't control it
What you want, what you want, emotion?
I need a step out with no frustration
I need a permanent getaway vacation
They got a permanent hit-list my nigga
A million reasons to get rich my bitch
Fifty did it right
I could've been homeless
I thought I moved too often this for the Summer
I could've been homeless
Before I had to go, I had a course
A million reasons to get rich my bitch
A million reasons to get rich my bitch
A million reasons to get rich my bitch...
My people still dry snitchin' whenever they touch the mic
That's what happens when a therapist isn't somewhere in sight
Take flight, never lean to the left or the right
'Cause they turn the other cheek when our niggas start to die
When our women start to die, when our children start to die
I don't feel the empathy, we made the space too many times
Every summer in this city start to feel like Columbine
'Cause you got to get yours, and I got to get mine
One time for the paragon to the paradigm
When you underground b*****s only try to undermine
Use the track as a gymnasium to get into the stadium
They couldn't match my alien, I'm blowing like uranium
One time for the—
One time—
One time— (bitch)
One time— (bitch)
One time— (bitch)
One t—
(Bitch)
(Bitch)
(Bitch)
A million reasons to get rich my bitch
Fifty did it right, Fifty did it right
Wish I could call every successful rapper for advice
How the **** do I make this shit last my whole life?
Do y'all want to come to the concert tonight?
(Bitch)
(Bitch)
(Bitch)
(Bitch)
Tuggin' on my pinky ring, smelling like chrysanthemum
I just want that, I just want that
I just want that, I just want that
Tuggin' on my pinky ring, smelling like chrysanthemum
I just want that, I just want that
I just want that, I just want that
Tuggin' on my pinky ring, smelling like chrysanthemum
I just want that, I just want that
I just want that, I just want that
On my jewelry, and on my niggas
On my jewelry, and on my niggas
Yes, you know I got, oh yes
Just give me what I need, yes yes yes
