[00:00:00] Written by：Vinia Mojica/L. Fernandez

[00:00:10] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:00:14] This place that we come from is called home

[00:00:20] We set out on our travels we do the best we can

[00:00:25] We travel this big earth as we roam

[00:00:29] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:00:35] This place that we come from is called home

[00:00:40] And even though we may love this place on the map

[00:00:44] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:00:51] I come up in the street around some real wild brothers

[00:00:53] With more than one name and more than one baby mother

[00:00:55] More than one chase been on more than one run

[00:00:57] Got more than one enemy and more than one gun

[00:01:01] While these cats that's less privileged is just more raw

[00:01:03] Less space cause the projects laced with more flaws

[00:01:05] Less sleep cause the nights ain't peace it's more war

[00:01:07] The can is raw like thirsty rainy season thunder claps

[00:01:09] On the block with your old pop pleading number act

[00:01:12] To the spot with the red top fiends is huddled at

[00:01:14] To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped

[00:01:17] With the jungle cats lions and tigers leopards and cheetahs

[00:01:20] For gazelle you get chased like a zebra they blaze cheerer cheerer

[00:01:25] And dominate the weaker on the street

[00:01:27] Hungry bellies only love what they eat and it's hard to compete

[00:01:30] When they smile with your heart in they teeth

[00:01:32] And the odds is stacked high beyond and beneath

[00:01:34] Son I been plenty places in my life and time

[00:01:37] And regardless where home is son home is mine

[00:01:40] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:01:44] This place that we come from is called home

[00:01:49] We set out on our travels we do the best we can

[00:01:54] We travel this big earth as we roam

[00:02:00] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:02:04] This place that we come from is called home

[00:02:08] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:02:10] And even though we may love this place on the map

[00:02:14] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:02:18] Some people live out in New York city

[00:02:21] Some people live out in Atlanta

[00:02:24] Some people got to live Chicago

[00:02:26] Some people do live Miami

[00:02:29] All my people at California

[00:02:32] And other people got to live London

[00:02:34] And everybody got to live in the whole big world

[00:02:36] Together just you and me

[00:02:38] When I think of home my remembrance of my beginning

[00:02:42] Laundromat helping ma dukes fold the bed linen

[00:02:44] Chilling in front my building with my brother and them

[00:02:47] Spending nights in bush wick with my cousins and them

[00:02:49] Wise town and beat street federal relief

[00:02:51] Slowly melting in the morning grits we used to eat

[00:02:54] Sticking to your teeth and teeth is hard to keep

[00:02:57] With every flavor nowlater only a dime apiece

[00:02:58] Old timers on the bench playing cards and thanks

[00:03:01] Telling tales about they used to be involved in things

[00:03:04] Start to drinking talking loud cussing up and showing out

[00:03:06] On the phone call the cops pick them up move them out

[00:03:10] And it's all too common to start Wilde

[00:03:11] I'm a pirate on an island seeking treasure known as silence

[00:03:14] And it's hard to find

[00:03:15] Block parties in dark lobbies

[00:03:17] Funeral homes packed but only dark bodies

[00:03:19] I can't sleep hardly stirred up like bob Farley

[00:03:21] Marley marl played the symphony remember we recall

[00:03:24] Son I been to many places in my space and time

[00:03:26] And whatever my home is son home is mine

[00:03:29] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:03:34] This place that we come from is called home

[00:03:39] We set out on our travels we do the best we can

[00:03:44] We travel this big earth as we roam

[00:03:49] We all got to have a place where we come from

[00:03:54] This place that we come from is called home

[00:03:58] And even though we may love this place on the map

[00:04:04] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:04:09] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:04:13] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:04:18] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:04:22] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:04:28] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at

[00:04:32] Said it ain't where you from it's where you at
