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