No Homo Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey man
Hey
Dude, you're looking pretty swole, you been working out?
Uh yeah, why are you looking?
Oh no, not like that man, I mean, no homo
Oh no homo
Cool

[Verse 1]
When you want to compliment a friend (No homo)
But you don't want that friendship to end (No homo)

To tell a dude just how you feel (No homo)
Say 'no homo' so he knows the deal (No homo)
Hey yo, man, you got a fresh style (No homo)
And you know you got the best smile (No homo)
Your girlfriend is a lucky lady (No homo)
With your looks, you'll make a handsome baby (No homo)
I like the way your shoulders fill out that shirt (No homo)
It's hard to pull off but you make it work (No homo)
Hey yo, I kinda like your natural scent (No homo)
Hey yo, I kinda like the musical Rent (no homo)
Man, I can't decide who wore it best (no homo)
But I'm feeling Diane Keaton's vest
(No homo)
I admit it I'm a fashionista (No homo)
And I know every line of Mystic Pizza (No homo)
D-D-Damn this rosé is something special (No homo)
Yeah, we should goof around and wrestle (No homo)
Let's hit the hot tub and take a dunk (No homo)
We're all friends ain't no need for trunks (No homo)
Man, I'm really feeling buzzed right now (No homo)
Are you really feeling buzzed right now? (No homo)
Yo, we should watch this gay porno tape (No homo)
But as a joke 'cause, we're all straight (No homo)
Man, you could wash laundry on those abs (No homo)
Yo, I think girls look good in drag (No homo)
Hey, I've been thinking about posing nude (No homo)

Yo, I've been thinking about fucking a dude (No homo)
We could 3-way 69 (No homo)
Or human centipede in a line (No homo)
Or some docking could be hella fun (No homo)
Oh yeah, man, or I could do this one (No homo)
[Verse 2]
Hey yo, no homo, but I wanna dress up like Dorothy
And butt fuck a dude while he 69s Morrissey
No homo, but I wish I lived in Ancient Greece
To gave young Socrates the illful release

Hey yo no homo but today I'm coming out the closet
Wanna scream it from the mountains like a gay prophet
These two words have set me free (No homo)
Damn it feels good to be (No homo)

About

Genius Annotation

This song is a critique on homophobia among young, often athletic and/or alpha-type males. It starts off by describing how the phrase “no homo” can be used as a social mechanism to quickly defuse any suspicion of homosexual attraction when giving a fellow male a complement. The examples of usage of the phrase quickly escalate to overtly sexual acts, which nullify any suggestion that they are merely comfortable in their heterosexuality, but are truly giving into their gay urges. This suggests that many homophobes are actually suppressing their closeted homosexual feelings through an exterior of hostility and intolerance.

The phrase “no homo” has its roots in early hip hop and is another part of hip hop culture that has spread to the mainstream, embedding itself into the vernacular of mostly young men. Dr. Joshua R. Brown wrote of the phrase:

The phrase no homo arose in hip-hop lyrics of the 1990s as a discourse interjection to negate supposed sexual and gender transgressions. Today the phrase has gained currency beyond hip-hop culture and pervades racial and gender continua. As a result, its
increasing prevalence in mainstream speech has caused critics to deplore no homo as outright homophobia.
