Where I'm From - 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 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
