[Queen Latifah]
|
Yo what's up this is Queen Latifah in the house
|
Definetely representin Jersey on the love love
|
Coolin' in the county; shoot (???)
|
But damn I miss home
|
|
[Chorus 4x:]
|
I can't.. forget New Jersey
|
|
[Verse 1: Queen Latifah]
|
When I think of home I think of a place where theres no over-flowin
|
And all my family and peeps I knew when I was growin
|
Mommy and daddy made me proud to in Owens
|
So for me to keep goin, I would become
|
Her eminental royal highness
|
The Queen Latifah; no doubt; one of New Jersey's finest
|
So, said it all
|
Get up on all of my own
|
Cause Jersey's what I think about when I think of home
|
Don't let know one get close to you except the chosen
|
Stick with the ones who meant the most to you
|
When you were broke and blue, that's how fam do
|
That's how you stay true around these snakes
|
That freakin' smile when they hate you
|
I'm quick to take the ride down for in-town
|
(Just another day living on a down)
|
My experience legit, my rhymes is on hit
|
It's mad truth to the room where we the shit; I can't forget
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 2: Queen Latifah]
|
I used to work at Burger King but after takin orders
|
I used to take the path to Latin Quarters across the waters
|
Where I learned to do the Who, yo, I couldn't stop
|
I brought it back around the way to show the peple on my block
|
Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
|
It looks so simple like that there's nothin to it
|
So, we meet at Irvan's (???) and after school I run
|
To the wall of Brookmore boots, there was Solamon
|
I had a talent for getting up for gear
|
A petty thief, small time crook of the year
|
But I chilled cause I had bigger dreams than to steal
|
And Ramsey came for me and Patchy to put our voices on a reel
|
And I could hear myself on the radio
|
"45 King Special Red Alert Show"
|
Cause that's what life was all about to me
|
All E-E flavor you did it, represent Jersey
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 3: Queen Latifah]
|
I think about my mom and my brothers when I'm all swoll
|
Shock, Kim, when I'm all swoll
|
My baby sister. when I'm all swoll
|
Hostan, when I'm all swoll
|
Ill-Town, when I all swoll
|
Jill-Town, J.C, when I'm all swoll
|
(???) to (???) so on, when I'm all swoll
|
Recognize the whole mama soul
|
We got Naughty
|
In another words we got Nicky
|
We got Redman, the Order Facts and Whitney (???)
|
Bruce Springsteen, and a house ah blacks
|
Shaquille O'Neal, oh he'll catch rack
|
Tisha Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett
|
Back spin, or spin it,
|
Thursday peppermint and I'm in it
|
Shag do's, I does no fo's in the spot
|
Cause them peeps is my peeps and my back is got
|
Nuf' respect to your burough, your block
|
You're black; I love to see us move as a flock
|
Unscrapped, against each other
|
No body armor
|
Nobody harms a hair on a head, everything calmer
|
We ghetto stars and fools
|
We paid the dues
|
We made the blues
|
So come on with the come on
|
And get down with the get down
|
I'm down with my hometown sound
|
|
[Chorus]
