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 from is called 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 from is called home An' even though we may love, place on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at"
I come up in the street around some real brothers With more than one name an' more than one mother More than one chase, been on than one run Got more than one an' more than one gun
While these cats that's less privileged is just raw space 'cause the projects laced with more flaws Less sleep 'cause the nights 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 kids spend summers trapped
With the jungle cats, an' tigers, leopards an' cheetahs For gazelle, you get chased a zebra, they blaze cheeba cheeba An' dominate the on the street Hungry bellies 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 been plenty places in my life an' An' where home is, son, home 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 big earth as we roam
We all got to have 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 people live out in New York people live in Atlanta Some people got to live, Some people do live,
All my people at An' people got to live, London An' everybody got to in the whole big world Together you an' me
I think of home, my remembrance of my beginnin' Laundromat helpin' ma dukes the bed linen in front of my building with my brother an' them Spendin' in Bushwick with my cousins an' them
Wise town an' Beat Street, federal Slowly meltin' in the mornin' grits we to eat Stickin' to your teeth an' teeth is to keep With every flavor, 'Now an' Later' only a apiece
Old timers on the playin' cards an' thangs Tellin' tales about they used to be 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 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 sleep hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley Marl 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 place where we 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 some place where we come from This place that we come from is home Even though we may love, place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, where 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 where ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at" Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at" It's ya at
