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