Where I'm From |
Peace, peace, peace y’all |
Strange |
Real strange, real strange |
An overdose, a nickel bag of funk |
Now move on, move on yeah |
Hey man are you ready to go |
Boogie jive and rap is life where I’m from |
Where I’m from, Ahmed play with Izzy where I’m from |
Where I’m from, it be like run your coat black |
Jupiter, keeps her fat beats by the pack |
Where I’m from, nappy hair is life |
We be reading Marx where I’m from |
The kids be rocking Clarks where I’m from |
You turn around your cap, you talk over a beat |
And dig some sounds booming out a jeep |
Where I’m from, cocoons hide the youth, swoon units hundred proof |
You want some beef, they will cut you some where I’m from |
The beats is infinite where I’m from |
Voodoo, ashubani, gangsta lean where I’m from |
I’m interplanetary, my insect movements vary |
It’s kinky if it’s hair, G where I’m from |
The fire hoses blow |
It’s purple when it snow |
I do a hit and go, split |
It’s hip, what’s hip |
When hip is just the norm |
Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms |
The kinks, the dance, the prints in all the shirts |
My grandmother told my Mama that it’s Africa at work |
On vibes, we freak, them universal beats |
You find it at the spot you hit at ends of every week |
We twist, exist, to spin the maddest hits |
Up here funk is our neighbour so we paid her a visit |
The lip we sip can’t house the nine zips |
For rock we can’t do nothing, for this we come equipped |
Off disc, off tape, rap blasting til from eight |
The really truly fat the fly on the flip |
Cocoa gotta know, how Planets gotta roll |
Speak the mega cool, get funky as a goal |
It’s calm, relax, we’re only some new jacks |
That acts from the funk but don’t play the role |
Where you from |
Weekend Dig Plans got T’s where I’m from |
Where I’m from, it’s Clarence 13 where I’m from |
Where I’m from, brothers took the beats and got fly |
(Why?) That’s most asked by 85, where I’m from |
Faking the funk you get did |
Projects, tenements, pyramids where I’m from |
We living off the boom boom crack |
It’s that hip-hop rockers, jazz when I max |
Peace be the greeting of the insect tribe |
Pestilent forces can’t catch the vibe |
We live to love and we love to rock mics |
We speak in ghetto tongue cause ghetto’s the life |
Food for thought so get a buffet plate |
The lyrics are so fat you might gain weight |
So just watch me step alone, into the sunset |
Left foot right foot 1−2 mic check |
Brewing funk inside my soul kitchen |
So pull up a chair, here’s a bib, have a listen |
Of hardhead intervene, damn I know you’re fluent |
Yeah, cause Doodle ain’t having it and Butterfly knew it |
Where you from |
Venus acts a fool at the square right, yeah |
Doctors engineer in a pair right, yeah |
Hip-hop made a point last year right, yeah |
But Planets is the joint this year right, yeah |
Planets got the dubs and live to grass-hop |
Duck out from the fuzz, that sweat the hip-hop |
Rising like we foam, get it from the dome |
I’m from where the fat beats stretch for mad blocks |
We can get a kit, without no thread |
Feeling funky beats go straight to the head |
Fall into a club, dig on what we love |
It be past six before we reach bed |
Butter freaks on relics we say those are fat |
Doodle, Mecc, and Silk, the quad where it’s at |
We need to stack a sack, for rap to take us dap |
So we treat our clips, just like busting caps |
Rip it till dawn, kick it till dawn |
Hip-Hop is the fix or else we be gone |
People thought they canned it |
Rap is not by bandits |
Digable Planets got it going on |
Everywhere, every everywhere, everywhere |
Everywhere, every everywhere, yeah |
Everywhere, every everywhere, yeah |
Everywhere, every everywhere, yeah |
Everywhere, every everywhere, yeah |
Everywhere, every everywhere, everywhere |
Everywhere, every everywhere, yeah |
Everywhere, every everywhere, yeah |
