[00:00:23] Planet earth was my place of birth

[00:00:44] Born to be the sole controller of the universe

[00:00:47] Besides the part of the map I hit first

[00:00:49] Any a rhyme that I can adapt when it gets worst

[00:00:52] The rough gets going, the going gets rough

[00:00:54] When I start flowing, the mic might bust

[00:00:57] The next state, I shake from the power I generate

[00:00:59] People in cali used to think it was earthquakes

[00:01:01] Cause times was hard on the boulevard

[00:01:05] So I vote God and never get scarred and gauled

[00:01:07] But it seems like I'm locked in hell

[00:01:09] Looking over the edge but the r never fell

[00:01:12] A trip to slip cause my nikes got grip

[00:01:15] Stand on my own two feet and come equip

[00:01:17] Any stage I'm seen on, a mic I fiend on

[00:01:20] I stand alone and need nothing to lean on

[00:01:22] Going for self wit a long way to go

[00:01:25] So much to say but I still flow slow

[00:01:27] I come correct and I won't look back

[00:01:30] Cause it ain't where you're from, its where

[00:01:31] You're at

[00:01:32] Even the （ghetto）

[00:01:43] I learn to relax in my room and escape from new york

[00:01:45] And return through the womb of the world as a

[00:01:47] Thought

[00:01:47] Thinking how hard it was to be born

[00:01:50] Me being queen wit no physical form

[00:01:53] Millions of cells wit one destination

[00:01:55] To reach the best part, its life creation

[00:01:58] 9 months later, a job well done

[00:02:01] Make way, cause here I come

[00:02:03] Since I made it this far, I can't stop now

[00:02:06] Theres a will and a way and I got the know-how

[00:02:08] To be all I can be and more

[00:02:11] And see all there is to see before

[00:02:13] I'm called and go back to the essence

[00:02:16] Its alot to learn so I study my lessons

[00:02:18] I thought the ghetto was the worst that could

[00:02:21] Happen to me

[00:02:22] I'm glad I listen when my father was rapping to me

[00:02:24] Cause back in the days, they lived in caves

[00:02:26] Exiled from the original man, a straight way

[00:02:28] Now thats what I call hard times

[00:02:31] I rather be here to exercise the mind

[00:02:34] Then I take a thought around the world twice

[00:02:36] From knowledge newborn back to knowledge precise

[00:02:39] Across the desert, thats hot as the arabian

[00:02:41] But they couldn't cave me in cause I'm the asian

[00:02:44] Reaching for the city of mecca, visit medina

[00:02:46] Visions of neffertiti then I seen a

[00:02:49] Mind keeps traveling, Ill be back after i

[00:02:52] Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in

[00:02:54] Africa

[00:02:54] Return the thought through the eye of a needle

[00:02:57] For miles I thought and I just fought the people

[00:03:00] Under the dark skies on a dark side

[00:03:02] Not only there but right heres an apartheid

[00:03:04] So now is the time for us to react

[00:03:07] Take a trip through the mind and when you get back

[00:03:10] Understand you're third eye seen all of that

[00:03:12] It ain't where you're from, its where you're at

[00:03:14] Even the （ghetto）

[00:03:16] Even the （ghetto）

[00:03:20] No more props, I want property

[00:03:47] In every borough, nobodys stopping me

[00:03:50] Because I'm thorough, rhymes are making real estate

[00:03:53] For me to own

[00:03:54] Wherever I bless a microphone

[00:03:55] 007 is back and relaxing

[00:03:58] On point n reactin and ready for action

[00:04:00] I'm so low key that you might not see me

[00:04:03] Incognito and taking it easy

[00:04:06] Quiet, its kept on a hush hush

[00:04:08] In front of a crowd, I get loud, theres a bumrush

[00:04:10] Be calm, keep a low pro, and play the background

[00:04:14] Hopin the wack rapperll put the mic back down

[00:04:16] So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it

[00:04:19] Cause when its time to build, I'm a mechanic

[00:04:21] I'm bonding and mending, attaching and blending

[00:04:23] So many solos, there is no ending

[00:04:25] People in my neighborhood, they know I'm good

[00:04:28] From london to hollywood, wherever I stood

[00:04:30] Footprints remain on stage ever since

[00:04:33] As I walk the street, I leave fossils and dents

[00:04:36] When I had sex, I left my name on necks

[00:04:39] My trademark was left throughout the projects

[00:04:41] I used to get rich when I played celo

[00:04:44] When I rolled 4, 5, 6, they go we know

[00:04:47] So I collect my cash then slide

[00:04:49] I got my back, my guns on my side

[00:04:52] It shouldnt have to be like that

[00:04:54] I guess it ain't where you're from, its where

[00:04:56] You're at

[00:04:57] Even the （ghetto）

[00:05:02] I'm from the （ghetto）

[00:05:35] Word up, peace
