When I think of home, I think of a where there is
We all got to a place where we come from This place 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 place that we come from This place we come from is called home An' though we may love, this place on the map Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at"
I come up in the street around some wild brothers With more than one name an' more than one baby than one chase, been on more than one run Got more than one enemy an' than one gun
While cats that's less privileged is just more raw Less space 'cause the projects with more flaws Less sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, it's war
The can is raw like thirsty, season thunder claps On the block with your old pop, number act To the spot with the red top fiends is at To the crib where the little kids their summers trapped
With the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, leopards an' For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, they cheeba cheeba An' dominate the weaker on the Hungry bellies only what they eat an' it's hard to compete
they smilin' with your heart in they teeth An' the odds is stacked beyond an' beneath Son, I plenty places in my life an' time An' where 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 this big earth as we
We all got to have some place where we come The place we come from is called home Even we may love, this place is on the map Said, "It ain't ya from, it's where ya at"
Some live out in New York City Some live in Atlanta people got to live, Chicago Some do live, Miami
All my at California An' other 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' Laundromat helpin' ma fold the bed linen Chillin' in front of my building with my an' them Spendin' nights in Bushwick with my an' them
town an' Beat Street, federal relief Slowly meltin' in the grits we used to eat Stickin' to teeth an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, an' Later' only a dime apiece
Old timers on the bench cards an' thangs tales about they used to be involved in things Start to drinkin', loud, cussin' up an' showin' out On the phone, call the cops, 'em up, move 'em out
An' it's all too common to wildin' I'm a pirate on an island, seekin' treasure known as 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 many in my space an' time An' whatever my home is, son, is mine
We all got to have a place where we from This place that we from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the we can We travel this big earth as we
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 ain't ya from, it's where ya at"
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 ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It where ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It ain't ya from, it's where ya at" where ya at
