Where I’m From (Remix)

Lyrics

[Intro: Digable Planets, Butterfly] Spaces and places we fly Kicks are for places and spaces we fly Space and all the fat places we fly Butter, baby to the jazz In the cut, dig it [Verse 1: Butterfly] Boogie jive and rap is life where I'm from Where I'm from, Ahmad play with Izzy where I'm from Where I'm from, it be like, "Run your coat, black" Jupiter keeps her fat beats by the pack Where I'm from, nappy hair is life We be reading Marx where I'm from The kids be rocking Clarks where I'm from You turn around your cap, you talk over a beat And dig some sounds booming out a jeep Where I'm from, cocoons hide the youth Swoon units hundred proof You want some beef, they will cut you some Where I'm from The beats is infinite where I'm from Voodoo, ashubani, gangsta lean where I'm from I'm interplanetary, my insect movements vary It's kinky if it's hair, G, where I'm from The fire hoses blow, it's purple when it snow I do a hit and go, split It's hip, what's hip? When hip is just the norm 'Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms The kinks, the dance, the prints on all the shirts My grandmother told my mother it's Africa at work On vibes, we freak, them universal beats You find it at the spot you hit at ends of every week We twist, exist to spin the maddest hits Up here, funk is our neighbor so we paid her a visit The lip we sip, can't house the nine zips For rock we can't do nothing, for this we come equipped Off disc, off tape, rap blasting 'til from 8 The really truly fat the fly on the flip Cocoa gotta know how Planets gotta roll Speak the mega cool, get funky as a goal It's calm, relax, we're only some new jacks That acts from the funk but don't play the role Where you from? [Chorus: Digable Planets, Doodlebug] Spaces and places we fly Pop it to places and spaces we fly Space and all the hip places we fly, yeah Money, what's the haps? Underneath my naps, come [Verse 2: Doodlebug, Ladybug Mecca, Butterfly] Weekend Dig Plans got team where I'm from Where I'm from, it's Clarence 13 where I'm from Where I'm from, brothers took the beats and got fly (Why?) That's most asked by 85, where I'm from Faking the funk you get did Projects, tenements, pyramids where I'm from, w We're living off that boom boom crack It's that hip-hop rockers, jazz when I max Peace be the greeting of the insect tribe Pestilent forces can't catch the vibe We live to love and we love to rock mics We speak in ghetto tongue 'cause ghetto's the life Food for thought so get a buffet plate The lyrics are so fat you might gain weight So just watch me step alone, into the sunset Left foot, right foot, one, two, mic check Brewing funk inside my soul kitchen So pull up a chair, here's a bib, have a listen A hardhead intervene (Damn, I know you're fluent) Yeah, 'cause Doodle ain't having it and Butterfly knew it Where you from? [Chorus: Digable Planets, Ladybug Mecca] Spaces and places we fly Lay it on places and spaces we fly Space and all the smooth places we fly Junk for the G rides, Mecca Yeah, you know it's like [Verse 3: Ladybug Mecca, Digable Planets] Venus acts a fool at the square, right? (Yeah) Doctors engineer in a pair, right? (Yeah) Hip-hop made a point last year, right? (Yeah) But Planets is the joint this year, right? (Yeah) Planets cop the duds and live to grass-hop Duck out from the fuzz that sweat the hip-hop Rising like we foam, get it from the dome I'm from where the fat beats stretch for mad blocks We can get a kick without no bread Feeling funky beats go straight to the head Fall into a club, dig on what we love It be past six before we reach bed Butter freaks on relics, we say those are fat Doodle, Mecc' and Silk, the quad where it's at? We knew this deck was set for rap to take a step So we treat our clips, just like, busting caps Rip it 'til dawn, kick it 'til dawn Hip-hop is the fix or else we be gone People thought they canned it, rap is not by bandits Digable Planets got it, going on (Uh) [Outro: Digable Planets, Ladybug Mecca] Everywhere, every, everywhere (Yeah, everywhere) Everywhere, every, everywhere (Yeah) Everywhere, every, everywhere (Yeah) Everywhere, every, everywhere, yeah Everywhere, every, everywhere (Yeah) Everywhere, every, everywhere (Everywhere) Everywhere, every, everywhere (Everywhere) Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, yeah Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, yeah Everywhere, every, every Everywhere, yeah, everywhere, yeah Yeah, everywhere, yeah Everywhere
