When I think of home, I think of a 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 as we roam
We all got to have some that we come from This place that we come from is called An' even we may love, this place on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, where ya at"
I up in the street around some real wild brothers more than one name an' more than one baby mother More than one chase, been on than one run Got more than one enemy an' more one gun
While these cats that's less is just more raw Less space 'cause the projects laced with flaws Less sleep 'cause the ain't peace, it's more war
The can is raw like thirsty, rainy thunder claps On the block your old pop, pleadin' number act To the with the red top fiends is huddled at To the crib the little kids spend their summers trapped
With the jungle cats, an' tigers, leopards an' cheetahs For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, they blaze cheeba An' dominate the weaker on the Hungry only love what they eat an' it's hard to compete
When they smilin' with your 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 have a where we come from place 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 where we come from The place that we 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"
Some people live out in New City people live in Atlanta Some got to live, Chicago people do live, Miami
All my people at An' people got to live, London An' everybody got to live in the whole big just you an' me
When I of home, my remembrance of my beginnin' Laundromat ma dukes fold the bed linen Chillin' in front of my building with my an' them Spendin' in Bushwick with my cousins an' them
Wise town an' Beat Street, federal Slowly meltin' in the mornin' we used to eat Stickin' to teeth an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, 'Now an' only a dime apiece
Old timers on the bench playin' an' thangs Tellin' tales they used to be involved in things to drinkin', talkin' loud, cussin' up an' showin' out On the phone, call the cops, 'em up, move 'em out
An' it's all too to start wildin' I'm a pirate on an island, treasure known as silence An' hard to find block parties in dark lobbies Funeral homes packed, but dark bodies
I can't sleep hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley Marl 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 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 have some place where we from This place that we come from is home Even though we may love, this 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 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
