When I think of home, I think of a where there is
We all got to have a place we come from This place that we come from is called We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel this big as we roam
We all got to some place that we come from This place that we come from is home An' even though we may love, this on the map Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at"
I come up in the street around some real brothers With more than one an' more than one baby mother More than one chase, been on than one run Got than one enemy an' more than one gun
While these cats that's less privileged is just raw Less space 'cause the laced with more flaws sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, it's more war
The can is raw like thirsty, season thunder claps On the block with your old pop, pleadin' act To the with the red top fiends is huddled at To the crib where the little spend their summers trapped
With the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, an' cheetahs For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, they cheeba cheeba An' dominate the on the street Hungry bellies only love what they eat an' it's hard to
When smilin' with your heart in they teeth An' the odds is stacked beyond an' beneath Son, I been places in my life an' time An' where home is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a place where we come This place we come from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel big earth as we roam
We all got to have some place where we come The place that we come is called home though we may love, this place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at"
people live out in New York City Some live in Atlanta Some got to live, Chicago Some do live, Miami
All my at California An' other people got to live, An' everybody got to live in the whole big Together you an' me
When I think of home, my of my beginnin' helpin' ma dukes fold the bed linen Chillin' in front of my building with my an' them Spendin' nights in Bushwick my cousins an' them
Wise town an' Beat Street, relief Slowly meltin' in the grits we used to eat Stickin' to your an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, 'Now an' only a dime apiece
Old on the bench playin' cards an' thangs tales about they used to be involved in things Start to drinkin', loud, cussin' up an' showin' out On the phone, call the cops, pick 'em up, 'em out
An' it's all too common to wildin' I'm a pirate on an island, treasure known as silence An' it's hard to find block parties in dark Funeral homes packed, but only bodies
I can't sleep hardly, up like Bob Marley Marley Marl the symphony, remember we recall Son, I to many places in my space an' time An' whatever my is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a place where we come This place that we come is called home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel big earth as we roam
Said, We all got to have some place where we from This place we come from is called home Even though we may love, this is on the map Said, "It ain't ya from, it's where ya at"
Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at" It's ya at
