| I guess we’re sittin' on the park on this one
|
| You know what I’m sayin'?
|
| You wanna just, uh, bring it back real quick
|
| For my real hip hop fans
|
| That just miss how it used to feel
|
| Before this radio shit
|
| Check it
|
| Yo
|
| I’m looking for a place to chill
|
| For a place to display my skills
|
| For a place to build
|
| To express how I feel inside
|
| For a place to just vibe and rhyme
|
| Kick back and relax
|
| Till my tracks all maxin' rap
|
| Without old folks callin' it crap
|
| It’s my pen and my pad
|
| No (?) shit, politics in it, just spittin' in it
|
| Bust rhythms gettin' love and respect
|
| No checks, no rapping for sex
|
| No crap about a jag or a lex
|
| I’m not having it broke
|
| I want a home where The Roots go platinum
|
| Common is common in households and Mos Def ain’t actin'
|
| Tribe is back together, and Jam Master J stay rockin' his leather
|
| Where the records get more played than CDs please
|
| Ain’t no super scientifical MC’s
|
| You gotta be real, gotta be ill with delivery
|
| No mimicking nobody just writing the tightest symphony
|
| Feeling me dawg? |
| I wanna stay where the real emcees are
|
| Where the illest beats are, fuck the industry, dawg
|
| Where the backyards are shows, and hoes that just backup singers for pros
|
| And my flows and tracks go together forever
|
| Next to us and so
|
| And four doors down, it’s rock and roll
|
| I wanna go
|
| Feels like hip-hop's lost its soul
|
| Every time I’m on the road
|
| Ain’t no matter where I go
|
| Same shit’s on the radio
|
| See the sea and show the shore
|
| Any place that’s on the go
|
| Ain’t no matter where I go
|
| Same shit’s on the radio
|
| Instead of playing this, they’d rather be playing that
|
| And instead of making hits, they’d rather be making crap
|
| They label it as rap and all they talk about is mix this drink that
|
| Crap in, they crap out
|
| Instead of playing this, they’d rather be playing that
|
| And instead of making hits, they’d rather be making crap
|
| They label it as rap and all they talk about is mix this drink that
|
| Crap in, they crap out
|
| I’m looking for a place to rhyme
|
| For a place to let shit off my mind
|
| Kick back and recline
|
| Write verses about the women I’m feelin'
|
| And I could spit a couple to 'em and they won’t get offended
|
| Shit, I’m looking for a place where I could say what I like
|
| Come out the studio feeling right, from lacing it tight
|
| Take it right to the stage and display it on mics
|
| Repeat it every single day of my life
|
| Just like heaven and me
|
| Picture droppin' music freely
|
| Without checkin' weekly how many people went and got your CD
|
| Without labels being greedy, taking paper from the needy
|
| The grass is even greener than a (?) CD
|
| See we don’t want money
|
| Sip some change a piece
|
| My niggas don’t lose brains to beef
|
| And when I play beats
|
| And when you ask and I say it’s JD
|
| I don’t mean Jermaine Dupri’s
|
| So shame these lames, these things need to gauge the test
|
| And the lakers best play without a rape suspect
|
| Trying to find a place where you ain’t got to take no vest
|
| And a bitch-ass Nelly would never step to KRS
|
| This whole place is a mess
|
| Trying to find a way up out of this
|
| And hip-hop is like my Wizard of Oz, yes
|
| I’m like Dorothy, except my ruby slippers are chrome
|
| Click three times, I’m trying to go home, y’all
|
| I’m trying to go home
|
| Feels like hip-hop's lost its soul
|
| Every time I’m on the road
|
| Ain’t no matter where I go
|
| Same shit’s on the radio
|
| Sea to sea and show to show
|
| Any place that’s on the go
|
| Ain’t no matter where I go
|
| Same shit’s on the radio |
