Habitat - Mos Def

[00:00.000] 作词 : Davis, Prosper, Smith
[00:09.887] We all got to have, a place where we come from
[00:14.651] This place that we come from is called home
[00:19.790] We set out on our travels, we do the best we can
[00:24.720] We travel this big earth as we roam
[00:30.011] We all got to have, a place where we come from
[00:34.742] This place that we come from is called home
[00:39.818] And even though we may love, this place on the map
[00:44.676] Said it ain't where ya from, it's where ya at
[00:49.866] I come up in the street around some real wild brothers
[00:52.287] With more than one name and more than one baby mother
[00:54.772] More than one case, been on more than one run
[00:57.293] Got more than one enemy and more than one gun
[00:59.789] Partner, all that's left to want is more
[01:02.269] While these cats that's less privileged is just more raw
[01:04.643] Less space cause the projects laced with more flaws
[01:07.203] Less sleep cause the nights ain't peace, it's more war
[01:09.661] The can is raw like thirsty, rainy season thunder claps
[01:12.183] On the block with your old pop pleading number act
[01:14.670] To the spot with the red top fiends is huddled at
[01:17.142] To the crib where the little kids spend their summers trapped
[01:19.569] With the jungle cats, lions and tigers, leopards and cheetahs
[01:22.076] For gazelle you get chased like a zebra, they blaze cheeba-cheeba
[01:25.292] And dominate the weaker on the street
[01:27.028] Hungry bellies only love what they eat and it's hard to compete
[01:30.157] When they smile with your heart in they teeth
[01:32.095] And the odds is stacked high beyond and beneath
[01:34.530] Son I been plenty places in my life and time
[01:37.159] And regardless where home is, son home is mine

[01:59.610] We all got to have, a place where we come from
[02:04.583] This place that we come from is called home
[02:09.349] And even though we may love, this place on the map
[02:14.459] Said it ain't where ya from, it's where ya at

[02:31.743] And other people got to live-London
[02:34.375] And everybody got to live in the whole big world
[02:36.948] Together just you and me
[02:39.159] When I think of home, my remembrance of my beginning
[02:41.931] Laundromat helping ma dukes fold the bed linen
[02:44.520] Chillin in front my building with my brother and them
[02:46.823] Spending nights in Bushwick with my cousins and them
[02:49.237] Wise town and Beat Street, federal relief
[02:51.762] Slowly melting in the morning grits we used to eat
[02:54.434] Sticking to your teeth and teeth is hard to keep
[02:56.828] With every flavor Now & Later only a dime apiece
[02:59.323] Old timers on the bench playing cards and thangs
[03:01.735] Telling tales about they used to be involved in things
[03:04.244] Start to drinking, talking loud, cussing up and showing out
[03:06.836] On the phone, call the cops, pick'em up, move'em out
[03:09.640] And it's all too common to start wildin
[03:11.875] I'm a pirate on an island seeking treasure known as silence
[03:14.364] And it's hard to find
[03:15.388] Block parties in dark lobbies
[03:16.921] Funeral homes packed but only dark bodies
[03:19.348] I can't sleep hardly, stirred up like Bob Marley
[03:21.866] Marley Marl played the symphony, remember we recall
[03:24.296] Son I been to many places in my space and time
[03:26.805] And whatever my home is, son home is mine

[03:38.905] We set out on our travels, we do the best we can
[03:44.143] We travel this big earth as we roam
[03:49.041] We all got to have, a place where we come from
[03:54.232] This place that we come from is called home
[03:59.065] And even though we may love, this place on the map
