[Statik Selektah, Talib Kweli - Home lyrics]
Okay (Build it up)
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home let's go
Is there a heart in the house tonight
Stand up i got a question
Is there a heart in the house tonight
Good morning
So glad I got a home to record in
These houses people grew up in disrupted
They can't afford it
Had hope to stay in the family for
The son or for the daughter
They making you fork it over
Or forcing a foreclosure
When I'm touring I got a bunk
But it's more like a coffin
So the comfort of a home is important
Trust, a lot more would invest in a mortgage
If they could put it on rims
Drive to the club and floss it
This is the American dream
House, wife, kids, and a dog
Fight for 'em in the bitter divorce
Nobody win in this situation
Everything considered a loss
I grab a lemonade and sit on the porch
I write rhymes to the sounds
Of the birds chirping
Telling us stories in the first person
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
This is dedicated to places I'm staying at
My crib, my lab, my pad
Or wherever I lay my hat
To some, it's a box or tunnel, or underpass
It could be a beach for as
Long as the summer lasts
Home is what you make it
The place where you find your start
Where you go when the block is hot
It's inside of your mind and heart
The heart is a house to love
And so we build it up
It used to feel kinda empty
Until we filled it up
This here the living room
It's where we chill it's the biggest room
My cousins on the couch, let me sit wit' you
Your kids playing in the yard
They as big as you where your twin
Of course catch him in the
Kitchen with the food
Feeling good, this is so essential
Watching the game with my pops
He taught me the fundamentals
So I'm swinging for the fences
Not just tryna get on base
My home runs bring me back
To this home plates
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home let's go
Is there a heart in the house tonight
Stand up i got a question
Is there a heart in the house tonight
Good morning
So glad I got a home to record in
These houses people grew up in disrupted
They can't afford it
Had hope to stay in the family for
The son or for the daughter
They making you fork it over
Or forcing a foreclosure
When I'm touring I got a bunk
But it's more like a coffin
So the comfort of a home is important
Trust, a lot more would invest in a mortgage
If they could put it on rims

This is the American dream

Fight for 'em in the bitter divorce
