Where I'm From - LP Version/2005 Digital Remaster

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 beat 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
 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 every where, yeah
