Where I'm From

Digable Planets

boogie jive and rap is life where i'm from



where i'm from i might play with izzy where i'm from



where i'm from it be like run you coat black



jupiter keeps the fat beats by the pack where i'm from



nappy hair is life we be reading marx where i'm from



the kids be rockin clocks where i'm from



you turn around your cap you talk over a beat



and dig some sounds boomin out a jeep



where i'm from cocoons hide the youth swoon units 100 proof



you want some beef they will cut you some where i'm form



the beats is infinite where i'm from



voodoo, ? gangster lean where i'm from



i'm interplaetary my insect movements vary



it's kinky if it's hair g where i'm from



the firehoses blow it's purple wind and snow



i do a hit and go



it's hip what's hip when hip is just the norm



cause planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all it's forms



the kinks the dance the prints in all the shirts



my grandmother tolld mama that it's africa at work



on vibes we free the universal beat



you find it at the spot you here the ends of every week



we twist exist to spin the maddest hits



up here funk is our neighbor so we paid it a visit



?



for rock we can't do nothin for this we come equipped



off disc off tape rap blastin til from 8



the really truly fat the fly on the flip



coco gotta know how planets gotta roll



speak the mega cool get funky is our goal



it's calm relax we only some new jacks



that ask for the funk but don't play the role



where you from



....



projects tenements pyramids



where i'm from we livin off the boom boom crack



it's that hiphop rockers jazz where i'm ats



peace be the greeting of the insect tribe
