Planet, Earth, was my place of birth Born to be the soul controller of the universe Besides the part of the map I hit first Any environment I can adapt when it gets worst The rough gets goin, the goin gets rough When I start flowin, the mic might bust The next state I shake from the power I generate People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes Cause times was hard on the Boulevard So I vote God and never get scarred and gauled But it seems like I'm locked in hell Lookin over the edge but the R never fell A trip to slip cause my Nikes got grip Stand on my own two feet and come equipped Any stage I'm seen on, or mic I fiend on I stand alone and need nothin to lean on Going 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 ain't where you're from, it's where you're at Even the (ghetto) I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York And return through the womb of the world as a thought Thinkin how hard it was to be born Me bein cream with no physical form Millions of cells with one destination to reach the best part as life's creation Nine months later, a job well done Make way, cause here I come Since I made it this far I can't stop now There's a will and a way and I got the know-how To be, all I can be and more And see, all there is to see before I'm called to go back to the essence It's a lot to learn so I study, my lessons I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me I'm glad I listened when my father was rappin to me Cause back in the days, they lived in caves Exiled from the original man, they 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 to born 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 Reachin for the city of Mecca, visit Medina Visions of Nefertiti, then I seen a mind keeps traveling, 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 thought and I just brought the people Under the dark skies, on a dark side Not only there, but right here's an apartheid 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 ain't where you're from, it's where you're at Even the (ghetto) Even the (ghetto)...
