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