Digable planets - Where I'm From lyrics

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

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 though so get a buffet plate

the lyrics are so fat you might gain weight

so just watch me stop alone into the sunset left foot right foot 1-2

mic check

brewin funk inside my soul kitchen

so pull up a chair here's a bit have a listen

?

damn i know you're fluent

ye cause doodle ain't havin it and butterfly knew it

where you from
