Where I'm From (LP Version) (2005 Digital Remaster) () - Digable Planets
Boogie jive and rap is life
Where I'm from
Where I'm from I might
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 rockin' Clarks
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 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 wind and 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 it's forms
The kinks the dance the
Prints in all the shirts
My grandmother told my
Mother 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 neighbor
So we paid her a visit
The lip we sip can't house the nine zips
For rock we can't do nothin
For this we come equipped
Off disc off tape rap blastin' till from 8
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
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
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 hop
Duck out from the fuzz
That sweat the hip-hop
Risin' 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
Feelin' 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 makin' silk
LaQuan where it's at
We need to stack a sack
For rap to take us dap
So we treat our clips
Just like bustin' caps
Rip it 'til dawn kick it 'til 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 goin' on
Everywhere every every where
Everywhere every every where yeah
Everywhere every every where
Everywhere every every where yeah
Everywhere every every where yeah
Everywhere every every where
Everywhere every every where
Everywhere every every where yeah
