When I think of home, I think of a place there is
We all got to have a place where we from This place we come from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel this big earth as we
We all got to have some place we come from This place that we come is called home An' even though we may love, place on the map Said, "It ain't ya from, it's where ya at"
I come up in the street around some real brothers With more than one name an' than one baby mother More than one chase, on more than one run Got than one enemy an' more than one gun
While these cats that's less is just more raw Less space 'cause the projects with more flaws Less sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, it's war
The can is raw like thirsty, rainy season claps On the block with your old pop, pleadin' act To the spot with the red top is huddled at To the crib the little kids spend their summers trapped
With the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, leopards an' For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, blaze cheeba cheeba An' the weaker 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 high beyond an' Son, I been places in my life an' time An' regardless where is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a place where we come This place that we from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We this big earth as we roam
We all got to some place where we come from The place that we from is called home Even though we may love, place is on the map Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at"
people live out in New York City Some people live in people got to live, Chicago Some people do live,
All my at California An' people got to live, London An' everybody got to in the whole big world just 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 with my cousins an' them
town an' Beat Street, federal relief Slowly meltin' in the mornin' grits we to eat to your teeth an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, 'Now an' only a dime apiece
Old timers on the bench playin' an' thangs Tellin' tales about they used to be in things Start to drinkin', talkin' loud, up an' showin' out On the phone, call the cops, 'em up, move 'em out
An' it's all too common to start I'm a pirate on an island, seekin' known as silence An' it's hard to find block parties in dark Funeral homes packed, but only bodies
I can't sleep hardly, stirred up Bob Marley Marley Marl played the symphony, we recall Son, I to many places in my space an' time An' whatever my home is, son, is mine
We all got to have a place where we from This place that we come is called home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel this big as we roam
Said, We all got to have some where we come from place that we come from is called home Even though we may love, place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at"
Said, "It where 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, where ya at" where ya at
