When I of home, I think of a place where there is
We all got to have a place where we from This place we come from 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 come from is called An' even we may love, this place on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at"
I come up in the street some real wild brothers With more than one an' more than one baby mother More one chase, been on more than one run Got more than one an' more than one gun
While these cats that's privileged is just more raw Less 'cause the projects laced with more flaws Less sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, more war
The can is raw like thirsty, rainy season thunder On the block with your old pop, pleadin' act To the spot with the red top is huddled at To the crib where the little spend their summers trapped
With the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, an' cheetahs For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, they cheeba cheeba An' the weaker on the street Hungry bellies only love what eat an' it's hard to compete
When they smilin' with your in they teeth An' the is stacked high beyond an' beneath Son, I been places in my life an' time An' where home is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a place where we from This place that we come from is called We set out on our travels, we do the we can We this big earth as we roam
We all got to have some place where we from The that we come from is called home though we may love, this place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's ya at"
Some people live out in New York Some live in Atlanta people got to live, Chicago Some people do live,
All my at California An' other people got to live, An' everybody got to live in the 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 with my brother an' them Spendin' nights in with my cousins an' them
town an' Beat Street, federal relief Slowly in the mornin' 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' an' thangs tales about they used 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' it's all too to start wildin' I'm a pirate on an island, seekin' treasure as silence An' hard to find block parties in dark lobbies homes packed, but only dark bodies
I sleep hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley Marley Marl the symphony, remember we recall Son, I been to many places in my space an' An' my home is, son, home is mine
We all got to have a 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
Said, We all got to have some where we come from This place that we come from is home Even though we may love, this is on the map Said, "It ain't 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" 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" It's ya at
