Planet earth was my place of birth[00:00:23]

Born to be the sole controller of the universe[00:00:44]

Besides the part of the map I hit first[00:00:47]

Any a rhyme that I can adapt when it gets worst[00:00:49]

The rough gets going, the going gets rough[00:00:52]

When I start flowing, the mic might bust[00:00:54]

The next state, I shake from the power I generate[00:00:57]

People in cali used to think it was earthquakes[00:00:59]

Cause times was hard on the boulevard[00:01:01]

So I vote God and never get scarred and gauled[00:01:05]

But it seems like I'm locked in hell[00:01:07]

Looking over the edge but the r never fell[00:01:09]

A trip to slip cause my nikes got grip[00:01:12]

Stand on my own two feet and come equip[00:01:15]

Any stage I'm seen on, a mic I fiend on[00:01:17]

I stand alone and need nothing to lean on[00:01:20]

Going for self wit a long way to go[00:01:22]

So much to say but I still flow slow[00:01:25]

I come correct and I won't look back[00:01:27]

Cause it ain't where you're from, its where[00:01:30]

You're at[00:01:31]

Even the （ghetto）[00:01:32]

I learn to relax in my room and escape from new york[00:01:43]

And return through the womb of the world as a[00:01:45]

Thought[00:01:47]

Thinking how hard it was to be born[00:01:47]

Me being queen wit no physical form[00:01:50]

Millions of cells wit one destination[00:01:53]

To reach the best part, its life creation[00:01:55]

9 months later, a job well done[00:01:58]

Make way, cause here I come[00:02:01]

Since I made it this far, I can't stop now[00:02:03]

Theres a will and a way and I got the know-how[00:02:06]

To be all I can be and more[00:02:08]

And see all there is to see before[00:02:11]

I'm called and go back to the essence[00:02:13]

Its alot to learn so I study my lessons[00:02:16]

I thought the ghetto was the worst that could[00:02:18]

Happen to me[00:02:21]

I'm glad I listen when my father was rapping to me[00:02:22]

Cause back in the days, they lived in caves[00:02:24]

Exiled from the original man, a straight way[00:02:26]

Now thats what I call hard times[00:02:28]

I rather be here to exercise the mind[00:02:31]

Then I take a thought around the world twice[00:02:34]

From knowledge newborn back to knowledge precise[00:02:36]

Across the desert, thats hot as the arabian[00:02:39]

But they couldn't cave me in cause I'm the asian[00:02:41]

Reaching for the city of mecca, visit medina[00:02:44]

Visions of neffertiti then I seen a[00:02:46]

Mind keeps traveling, Ill be back after i[00:02:49]

Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in[00:02:52]

Africa[00:02:54]

Return the thought through the eye of a needle[00:02:54]

For miles I thought and I just fought the people[00:02:57]

Under the dark skies on a dark side[00:03:00]

Not only there but right heres an apartheid[00:03:02]

So now is the time for us to react[00:03:04]

Take a trip through the mind and when you get back[00:03:07]

Understand you're third eye seen all of that[00:03:10]

It ain't where you're from, its where you're at[00:03:12]

Even the （ghetto）[00:03:14]

Even the （ghetto）[00:03:16]

No more props, I want property[00:03:20]

In every borough, nobodys stopping me[00:03:47]

Because I'm thorough, rhymes are making real estate[00:03:50]

For me to own[00:03:53]

Wherever I bless a microphone[00:03:54]

007 is back and relaxing[00:03:55]

On point n reactin and ready for action[00:03:58]

I'm so low key that you might not see me[00:04:00]

Incognito and taking it easy[00:04:03]

Quiet, its kept on a hush hush[00:04:06]

In front of a crowd, I get loud, theres a bumrush[00:04:08]

Be calm, keep a low pro, and play the background[00:04:10]

Hopin the wack rapperll put the mic back down[00:04:14]

So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it[00:04:16]

Cause when its time to build, I'm a mechanic[00:04:19]

I'm bonding and mending, attaching and blending[00:04:21]

So many solos, there is no ending[00:04:23]

People in my neighborhood, they know I'm good[00:04:25]

From london to hollywood, wherever I stood[00:04:28]

Footprints remain on stage ever since[00:04:30]

As I walk the street, I leave fossils and dents[00:04:33]

When I had sex, I left my name on necks[00:04:36]

My trademark was left throughout the projects[00:04:39]

I used to get rich when I played celo[00:04:41]

When I rolled 4, 5, 6, they go we know[00:04:44]

So I collect my cash then slide[00:04:47]

I got my back, my guns on my side[00:04:49]

It shouldnt have to be like that[00:04:52]

I guess it ain't where you're from, its where[00:04:54]

You're at[00:04:56]

Even the （ghetto）[00:04:57]

I'm from the （ghetto）[00:05:02]

Word up, peace[00:05:35]
