DIGABLE PLANETS

- Where I'm From Lyrics

Peace.. peace.. peace y'all!(Strange!) Real strange.. real strange..
(An overdose..) A.. nickel bag of funk(WE GOT BEAT!!)Now move
on.. move on.. yeah..("Hey man are you ready to go?") Yeah..
[Butterfly]Boogie jive and rap is life where I'm fromWhere I'm from, I
might play with Izzy where I'm fromWhere I'm from, it be like, "run
your coat black"Jupiter, keeps her fat beats by the packWhere I'm
from, nappy hair is lifeWe be reading Marx where I'm fromThe kids
be rockin Clarks where I'm fromYou turn around your cap, you talk
over a beatand dig some sounds boomin out a jeep Where I'm from,
cocoons hide the youth, swoon units 100 proofYou want some beef,
they will cut you someWhere I'm form, the beats is infinite where I'm
fromVoodoo, ashubani, gangsta lean where I'm fromI'm
interplanetary, my insect movements varyIt's kinky if it's hair, G,
where I'm fromThe firehoses blow, it's purple wind and snowI do a hit
and go, SPLITIt's hip, what's hip? When hip is just the normCause
Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all it's forms The kinks, the
dance, the prints in all the shirtsMy grandmother told my mother it's
Africa at workOn vibes, we freak, them universal beats You find it at
the spot you hit at ends of every weekWe twist, exist, to spin the
maddest hitsUp here funk is our neighbor so we paid her a visitThe
lip we sip can't house the nine zipsFor rock we can't do nothin, for
this we come equippedOff disc, off tape, rap blastin til from 8The
really truly fat the fly on the flipCocoa gotta know, how Planets, gotta
rollSpeak the mega cool, get funky as a goalIt's calm, relax, we're
only some new jacksthat acts from the funk but don't play the
roleWhere you from?....[Doodlebug]Weekend "Dig Plans" got T's
where I'm fromWhere I'm from, it's Clarence 13 where I'm fromWhere
I'm from, brothers took the beat and got fly(Why?) That's most asked
by 85, where I'm fromFakin the funk you get didProjects, tenements,
pyramidsWhere I'm from, we're livin off the boom boom crack It's that
hip hop rockers jazz when I maxPeace be the greeting of the insect
tribePestilent forces can't catch the vibeWe live to love and we love
to rock micsWe speak in ghetto tongue cause ghetto's the lifeFood
for thought so get a buffet plateThe lyrics are so fat you might gain
weightSo just watch me step alone, into the sunsetLeft foot right foot
1-2 mic checkBrewin funk inside my soul kitchen So pull up a chair
here's a bit have a listenof hardhead intervene, damn I know you're
fluentYeah, cause Doodle ain't havin it and Butterfly knew itWhere
you from?....[Ladybug]Venus acts a fool at the square right?
(Yeah)Doctors engineer in apparel 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-hopDuck out from the
fuzz, that sweat the hip-hopRisin like we foam, get it from the
domeI'm from where the fat beats stretch for mad blocksWe can get
a kit, without, no threadFeelin funky beats go straight, to the headFall
into a club, dig on what we loveIt be past six, before we reach
bedButter freaks on relics we say, those are fatDoodle makin silk,
LaQuan, where it's at?We need to stack a sack, for rap to take us
dapSo we treat our clips, just like, bustin capsRip it til dawn, kick it til
dawnHip-Hop is the fix, or else, we be gonePeople thought they
canned it, rap is not by banditsDigable Planets got it, goin on{all
together}Everywhere, every every where (yeah) *8X*
