When I think of home, I think of a where there is
We all got to have a place where we come 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
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 real wild brothers more than one name an' more than one baby mother More one chase, been on more than one run Got more one enemy an' more than one gun
While these cats that's less is just more raw Less space 'cause the projects laced with more Less sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, more war
The can is raw like thirsty, rainy season thunder On the block your old pop, pleadin' number act To the spot the red top fiends 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, they blaze cheeba An' the weaker on the street Hungry bellies love what they eat an' it's hard to compete
When smilin' with your heart in they teeth An' the odds is stacked high beyond an' Son, I been plenty places in my an' time An' regardless where home is, son, is mine
We all got to a place where we come from This place that we come from is home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel this big as we roam
We all got to have some place we come from The place that we come from is home though we may love, this place is on the map Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at"
Some people live out in New City Some live in Atlanta Some got to live, Chicago people do live, Miami
All my people at An' other people got to live, An' got to live in the whole big world Together you an' me
When I of home, my remembrance of my beginnin' helpin' ma dukes fold the bed linen Chillin' in front of my building my brother an' them Spendin' in Bushwick with my cousins an' them
Wise town an' Beat Street, relief Slowly meltin' in the mornin' we used to eat Stickin' to teeth an' teeth is hard to keep every flavor, 'Now an' Later' only a dime apiece
Old timers on the playin' cards an' thangs Tellin' tales about they used to be in things Start to drinkin', talkin' loud, up an' showin' out On the phone, the cops, pick 'em up, move 'em out
An' all too common to start wildin' I'm a on an island, seekin' treasure known as silence An' hard to find block parties in dark lobbies homes packed, but only dark bodies
I can't hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley Marley Marl the symphony, remember we recall Son, I been to places in my space an' time An' whatever my is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a place we come from place that we come from 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 where we come from This place 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 ain't where ya from, 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" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at" where ya at
