So Far From Home |
«Oh, it’s so hard to be alone.» |
It’s so hard baby. |
So hard |
It ain’t easy doin' what I do but ah, (No it ain’t, no it ain’t.) |
I’m gonna go out here, I’mma get this paper |
I’mma hit this road and I’ma… |
And I’mma keep it on |
Keep keep keep keep it on |
Listen, (one two now) I say that I’mma keep it on |
I say that I’mma keep it on |
All day |
All night |
We gon' set the party off right |
All night |
And all day |
It’s Jazzanova (yes sir) and Phonte |
Now I’mma show you how to rhyme |
Because your circle gettin' outta line |
I made magic on these tracks like Merlin |
When I’m in Berlin, ridin', swervin' down the Autobahn |
A buck twenty or more |
Doin' cities and tours |
Write ditties that make the bitties get on the floor |
Like Diddy they +Press Play+ but I press record |
To give it to you quite like I never did it before |
Fitted cap on the dome |
Tattoos on the arm |
Ladies love the kid, they really think he a charm |
When he step off stage, the feelin' ain’t so warm |
Go back to the room, call wifey and moms |
Tell 'em how much I miss 'em, so the kids, just kiss 'em for me |
And tell them, «Return, I shall.» |
I know this type of livin' ain’t ration-al |
But that’s the price for bein' international |
You’re out here all alone |
No place to call your own |
So far from home |
Feelin' all the pain and anguish |
Prayin' that they speak the language |
So far from home |
Everybody know your face |
As long as you know your place |
So far from home |
So far from home |
So far from home |
So far from home |
There’s been so many tracks I don' rhymed on |
In so many different time zones |
Gettin' my grind on |
Just doin' everything I can to get my shine on |
I even dropped poems down in Stockholm |
And sent niggas to the cosmos in Oslow |
Pretty chicks rockin' tunics in Munich |
People ask me every day why I do this |
And I tell 'em all the time it’s all about the music |
Cause I |
If it wasn’t for this hip hop shit |
These people wouldn’t treat me like the creme de la creme |
Red carpet treatment, the chances are slim |
I’d probably just be another nigga to them |
Cause the young folks cool but the old folks cold |
Be starin' like they never seen black people before |
I know it ain’t ration-al |
But it ain’t they fault, they not international |
You know what I’m sayin'? |
«Oh it’s so hard to be alone» |
So close but still so far away |
Hey hey hey |
After a show at Jazz Cafe |
I met a brother in the crowd and he said, «That I’m currently |
In the military, but I’m from Greensboro» |
I gave him a pound and I ain’t talkin' bout currency |
I started thinkin' about my boys at the crib |
Who dream of these places but won’t make it over |
Rocked a million places and I’ve seen the sights |
But when black people unite |
Home feels much closer |
Now what I’m sayin'? |
On and on |
Everybody keep it on and on |
Like this uh |
Jazzanova keep it on and on |
One time keep it on and on |
Like this uh |
Little Brother keep it on and on |
Everybody keep it on and on |
Like this uh |
Phontigga keep it on and on |
Everybody keep it on and on |
Go home c’mon |
