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 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 is called home An' even we may love, this place on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at"
I come up in the street around some wild brothers 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 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 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 their summers trapped
With the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, an' cheetahs For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, blaze cheeba cheeba An' dominate the on the street Hungry bellies only love they eat an' it's hard to compete
they smilin' with your heart in they teeth An' the is stacked high beyond an' beneath Son, I been plenty in my life an' time An' where home is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a place where we come This place that we come 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 where we come from The place that we come from is home Even though we may love, place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at"
Some people live out in New City Some people live in 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 Together you an' me
I think of home, my remembrance of my beginnin' Laundromat helpin' ma dukes the bed linen Chillin' in front of my building with my brother an' Spendin' nights in with my cousins an' them
Wise an' Beat Street, federal relief Slowly meltin' in the grits we used to eat to your teeth an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, an' Later' only a dime apiece
Old timers on the bench playin' cards an' Tellin' 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' 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 Funeral packed, but only dark bodies
I can't sleep hardly, stirred up Bob Marley Marley Marl played the symphony, we recall Son, I to many places in my space an' time An' whatever my home is, son, is mine
We all got to have a place 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 as we roam
Said, We all got to some place where we come from This 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"
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" Said, "It ain't ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at" where ya at
