Planet Earth was my place of birth Born to be the sole controller of the universe Besides the part of the map I hit first Any environment I can adapt when it gets worse The rough gets goin the goin gets rough When I start flowin the mic might bust The next state'll shake from the power I generate People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes Cause times is hard on the boulevard So I bogaurd and never get scared I'm god But it seems like I'm locked in hell Lookin over the edge but the R never fell Or tripped or slipped cause my Nikes got grip I stand on my own two feet and come equipped Any stage I'm seen on the mic I feind on I stand alone and need nothin to lean on Goin for self with a long way to go So much to say but I still flow slow I come correct and I won't look back Cause it aint where you from it's where you at Even the "Ghetto"
I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York Take a trip through the womb of the world as a thought Thinkin how hard it was to be born Me being cream with no physical form Millions of cells with one destination To reach the best part that's life's creation Nine months later a job well done Make way cause here I come Since I made it this far can't stop now There's a will and a way and I got the know-how To be all there is to be and more To see all there is to see before I'm called to go back to the essence It's a lot to learn so I studied my lessons I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me I'm glad I listened when my father was rapping to me Cause back in the days they lived in caves Exiled from the original man and strayed away Now that's what I call hard times I'd rather be here to exercise the mind Then I take a thought around the world twice From knowledge the form back to knowledge precise Across the desert that's hot as the Arabian But they couldn't cave me in cause I'm the Asian Reaching for the city of Mecca visit Medina Visions of Nefertiti then I seen her Mind keeps travelin I'll be back after I Stop and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa Return the thought through the eye of a needle For miles I fought and I just fought the people Under the darks skies on a dark side Not only there but right here's an aparthied So now is the time for us to react Take a trip through the mind and when you get back Understand your third eye seen all of that It aint where you from it's where you at Even the "Ghetto"
No more props I want property in every Burrough Nobody's stoppin me because I'm thorough Rhymes I make give me real estate for me to own Where ever I bless a microphone Double O seven is back and relaxin On point and reactin and ready for action I'm so low key that you might not see me Incognito and takin it easy Quiet is kept on a hush hush In front of a crowd I get loud as a bum rush But calm keep a low pro and play the background Hoping the wack rappers put the mic back down So rip it break it in half go ahead and slam it Cause when it's time to build I'm a mechanic I'm bondin and mendin attachin and blendin So many solos there is no ending People in my neighborhood they know I'm good From London to Hollywood where ever I stood Footprints remain on stage ever since Sidewalks and streets I leave fossils and dents When I had sex I left my name on necks My Trademark was left throughout the projects I used to get rich when I played c-lo When I rolled 4,5,6 they go we know So I collect my cash then slide I got my back my gun's on my side It shouldn't have to be like that I guess it aint where you from it's where you at Even the "Ghetto"
