When I think of home, I think of a place where is
We all got to have a where we come from This place that we come 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 have place that we come from This place that we from is called home An' even though we may love, this on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at"
I come up in the street around some real wild With more than one name an' more one baby mother More than one chase, been on more one run Got more than one enemy an' than one gun
While these that's less privileged is just more raw Less space 'cause the projects laced more flaws Less 'cause the nights ain't peace, it's more war
The can is raw like thirsty, season thunder claps On the block 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 blaze cheeba An' the weaker on the street Hungry only love what they eat an' it's hard to compete
When they with your heart in they teeth An' the is stacked high beyond an' beneath Son, I plenty places in my life an' time An' regardless 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 this big earth as we
We all got to have place where we come from The place we come from is called home Even though we may love, place is on the map Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at"
Some live out in New York City Some live in Atlanta Some got to live, Chicago Some people do live,
All my people at An' people got to live, London An' got to live in the whole big world just 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' nights in Bushwick with my an' them
town an' Beat Street, federal relief Slowly meltin' in the mornin' we used to eat to your teeth an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, 'Now an' Later' only a apiece
Old timers on the bench 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' it's all too common to start I'm a pirate on an island, treasure known as silence An' it's hard to find parties in dark lobbies Funeral homes packed, but only bodies
I can't sleep hardly, stirred up Bob Marley Marley Marl played the symphony, remember we Son, I been to places in my space an' time An' my home 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 travel big earth 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, this is on the map 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, 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, where ya at" where ya at
