Habitat - Mos Def[00:00:00]

Written by：Vinia Mojica/L. Fernandez[00:00:00]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:00:10]

This place that we come from is called home[00:00:14]

We set out on our travels we do the best we can[00:00:20]

We travel this big earth as we roam[00:00:25]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:00:29]

This place that we come from is called home[00:00:35]

And even though we may love this place on the map[00:00:40]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:00:44]

I come up in the street around some real wild brothers[00:00:51]

With more than one name and more than one baby mother[00:00:53]

More than one chase been on more than one run[00:00:55]

Got more than one enemy and more than one gun[00:00:57]

While these cats that's less privileged is just more raw[00:01:01]

Less space cause the projects laced with more flaws[00:01:03]

Less sleep cause the nights ain't peace it's more war[00:01:05]

The can is raw like thirsty rainy season thunder claps[00:01:07]

On the block with your old pop pleading number act[00:01:09]

To the spot with the red top fiends is huddled at[00:01:12]

To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped[00:01:14]

With the jungle cats lions and tigers leopards and cheetahs[00:01:17]

For gazelle you get chased like a zebra they blaze cheerer cheerer[00:01:20]

And dominate the weaker on the street[00:01:25]

Hungry bellies only love what they eat and it's hard to compete[00:01:27]

When they smile with your heart in they teeth[00:01:30]

And the odds is stacked high beyond and beneath[00:01:32]

Son I been plenty places in my life and time[00:01:34]

And regardless where home is son home is mine[00:01:37]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:01:40]

This place that we come from is called home[00:01:44]

We set out on our travels we do the best we can[00:01:49]

We travel this big earth as we roam[00:01:54]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:02:00]

This place that we come from is called home[00:02:04]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:02:08]

And even though we may love this place on the map[00:02:10]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:02:14]

Some people live out in New York city[00:02:18]

Some people live out in Atlanta[00:02:21]

Some people got to live Chicago[00:02:24]

Some people do live Miami[00:02:26]

All my people at California[00:02:29]

And other people got to live London[00:02:32]

And everybody got to live in the whole big world[00:02:34]

Together just you and me[00:02:36]

When I think of home my remembrance of my beginning[00:02:38]

Laundromat helping ma dukes fold the bed linen[00:02:42]

Chilling in front my building with my brother and them[00:02:44]

Spending nights in bush wick with my cousins and them[00:02:47]

Wise town and beat street federal relief[00:02:49]

Slowly melting in the morning grits we used to eat[00:02:51]

Sticking to your teeth and teeth is hard to keep[00:02:54]

With every flavor nowlater only a dime apiece[00:02:57]

Old timers on the bench playing cards and thanks[00:02:58]

Telling tales about they used to be involved in things[00:03:01]

Start to drinking talking loud cussing up and showing out[00:03:04]

On the phone call the cops pick them up move them out[00:03:06]

And it's all too common to start Wilde[00:03:10]

I'm a pirate on an island seeking treasure known as silence[00:03:11]

And it's hard to find[00:03:14]

Block parties in dark lobbies[00:03:15]

Funeral homes packed but only dark bodies[00:03:17]

I can't sleep hardly stirred up like bob Farley[00:03:19]

Marley marl played the symphony remember we recall[00:03:21]

Son I been to many places in my space and time[00:03:24]

And whatever my home is son home is mine[00:03:26]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:03:29]

This place that we come from is called home[00:03:34]

We set out on our travels we do the best we can[00:03:39]

We travel this big earth as we roam[00:03:44]

We all got to have a place where we come from[00:03:49]

This place that we come from is called home[00:03:54]

And even though we may love this place on the map[00:03:58]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:04]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:09]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:13]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:18]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:22]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:28]

Said it ain't where you from it's where you at[00:04:32]
