Lyrics
0:11Peace peace peace y'all
0:11Strange
0:26Real strange real strange
0:27An overdose a nickel bag of funk
0:29Now move on move on yeah
0:32Hey man are you ready to go
0:39Boogie jive and rap is life where I'm from
0:41Where I'm from Ahmed play with Izzy where I'm from
0:43Where I'm from it be like run your coat black
0:46Jupiter keeps her fat beats by the pack
0:48Where I'm from nappy hair is life
0:50We be reading Marx where I'm from
0:52The kids be rocking Clarks where I'm from
0:54You turn around your cap you talk over a beat
0:56And dig some sounds booming out a jeep
0:58Where I'm from cocoons hide the youth swoon units hundred proof
1:01You want some beef they will cut you some where I'm from
1:04The beats is infinite where I'm from
1:06Voodoo ashubani gangsta lean where I'm from
1:08I'm interplanetary my insect movements vary
1:11It's kinky if it's hair G where I'm from
1:13The fire hoses blow
1:15It's purple when it snow
1:16I do a hit and go split
1:18It's hip what's hip
1:19When hip is just the norm
1:20Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms
1:23The kinks the dance the prints in all the shirts
1:25My grandmother told my Mama that it's Africa at work
1:27On vibes we freak them universal beats
1:30You find it at the spot you hit at ends of every week
1:32We twist exist to spin the maddest hits
1:35Up here funk is our neighbour so we paid her a visit
1:37The lip we sip can't house the nine zips
1:40For rock we can't do nothing for this we come equipped
1:42Off disc off tape rap blasting 'til from eight
1:45The really truly fat the fly on the flip
1:47Cocoa gotta know how Planets gotta roll
1:50Speak the mega cool get funky as a goal
1:52It's calm relax we're only some new jacks
1:54That acts from the funk but don't play the role
1:57Where you from
2:07Weekend Dig Plans got T's where I'm from
2:09Where I'm from it's Clarence 13 where I'm from
2:11Where I'm from brothers took the beats and got fly
2:14Why
2:14That's most asked by 85 where I'm from
2:17Faking the funk you get did
2:19Projects tenements pyramids where I'm from
2:22We living off the boom boom crack
2:23It's that hip-hop rockers jazz when I max
2:26Peace be the greeting of the insect tribe
2:29Pestilent forces can't catch the vibe
2:31We live to love and we love to rock mics
2:33We speak in ghetto tongue 'cause ghetto's the life
2:36Food for thought so get a buffet plate
2:38The lyrics are so fat you might gain weight
2:40So just watch me step alone into the sunset
2:43Left foot right foot 1-2 mic check
2:46Brewing funk inside my soul kitchen
2:48So pull up a chair here's a bib have a listen
2:50Of hardhead intervene d**n I know you're fluent
2:53Yeah 'cause Doodle ain't having it and Butterfly knew it
2:55Where you from
3:05Venus acts a fool at the square right yeah
3:08Doctors engineer in a pair right yeah
3:10Hip-hop made a point last year right yeah
3:12But Planets is the joint this year right yeah
3:15Planets got the dubs and live to grass-hop
3:17Duck out from the fuzz that sweat the hip-hop
3:20Rising like we foam get it from the dome
3:22I'm from where the fat beats stretch for mad blocks
3:25We can get a kit without no thread
3:27Feeling funky beats go straight to the head
3:30Fall into a club dig on what we love
3:32It be past six before we reach bed
3:35Butter freaks on relics we say those are fat
3:37Doodle Mecc and Silk the quad where it's at
3:39We need to stack a sack for rap to take us dap
3:42So we treat our clips just like busting caps
3:44Rip it till dawn kick it till dawn
3:47Hip-Hop is the fix or else we be gone
3:49People thought they canned it
3:50Rap is not by bandits
3:52Digable Planets got it going on
3:54Everywhere every everywhere everywhere
