When I think of home, I think of a place where there isWe all got to have a place where we come from This place that we come from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the best we can We travel this big earth as we roamWe all got to have some place that we come from This place that we come from is called home An' even though we may love, this place on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at"I come up in the street around some real wild brothers With more than one name an' more than one baby mother More than one chase, been on more than one run Got more than one enemy an' more than one gun[Incomprehensible] While these cats that's less privileged is just more raw Less space 'cause the projects laced with more flaws Less sleep 'cause the nights ain't peace, it's more warThe can is raw like thirsty, rainy season thunder claps On the block with your old pop, pleadin' number act To the spot with the red top fiends is huddled at To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trappedWith the jungle cats, lions an' tigers, leopards an' cheetahs For gazelle, you get chased like a zebra, they blaze cheeba cheeba An' dominate the weaker on the street Hungry bellies only love what they eat an' it's hard to competeWhen they smilin' with your heart in they teeth An' the odds is stacked high beyond an' beneath Son, I been plenty places in my life an' time An' regardless where home is, son, home is mineWe all got to have a place where we come from This place that we come from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the best we can We travel this big earth as we roamWe all got to have some place where we come from The place that we come from is called home Even though we may love, this place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at"Some people live out in New York City Some people live in Atlanta Some people got to live, Chicago Some people do live, MiamiAll my people at California An' other people got to live, London An' everybody got to live in the whole big world Together just you an' meWhen I think of home, my remembrance of my beginnin' Laundromat helpin' ma dukes fold the bed linen Chillin' in front of my building with my brother an' them Spendin' nights in Bushwick with my cousins an' themWise town an' Beat Street, federal relief Slowly meltin' in the mornin' grits we used to eat Stickin' to your teeth an' teeth is hard to keep With every flavor, 'Now an' Later' only a dime apieceOld timers on the bench playin' cards an' thangs Tellin' tales about they used to be involved in things Start to drinkin', talkin' loud, cussin' up an' showin' out On the phone, call the cops, pick 'em up, move 'em outAn' it's all too common to start wildin' I'm a pirate on an island, seekin' treasure known as silence An' it's hard to find block parties in dark lobbies Funeral homes packed, but only dark bodiesI can't sleep hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley Marley Marl played the symphony, remember we recall Son, I been to many places in my space an' time An' whatever my home is, son, home is mineWe all got to have a place where we come from This place that we come from is called home We set out on our travels, we do the best we can We travel this big earth as we roamSaid, We all got to have some place where we come from This place that we come from is called home Even though we may love, this place is on the map Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at"Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at" Said, "It ain't where ya from, it's where ya at" It's where ya at
