Home - Statik Selektah, Talib Kweli

Okay, build it up

There’s no place like home, 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 now?

Yea, stand up

Yea, I got a question

La la la la la la la…

(Verse)

Good morning, so glad I got a home to record it

These houses people grew up in disrupted, they can’t afford it

I hope you stay in the family for the son and for the daughter

They makin you fork it over or forcing the foreclosure

When I’m torn I got a bunk but it’s more like a coughin

So the comfort of a home is important

Trust a lot more, would invest in the mortgage

If they can put it on rims drive to the club flossin

This is the American dream

House, wife, kids and a dog, fight for em in the battle with force

Nobody win in this situation

Everything considered a loss

I grab a lemonade then sit on the porch

(Hook x2)

I’m writin rhymes to the sounds of the birds chirping

Tellin all stories in the first person

There’s no place like home

There’s no place like home

(Verse)

This is dedicated to places where fiends at

My crib, my lab, my pat and wherever I laid my hat

Cuz it’s on, it’s a box, the returner will 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 stuff

When you go in the block is hot, that’s the side of your mind and heart

The heart is the house of love then so we build it up

It used to feel kinda empty until we filled it up

This ain’t the living room

It’s where we shell as the biggest room

Your cousin’s on the couch, let me sit with you

You kids playin in the yard, they as big as you

With yo twin of course, catch em in the kitchen with the food

Feelin good, this is so essential

Watchin the game with my pops and talkin the fundamentals

So I’m swingin for the fences, not just tryna get on base

My homeruns bring me back to this home place

(Hook x2)

I’m writin rhymes to the sounds of the birds chirping

Tellin all stories in the first person

There’s no place like home

There’s no place like home

Is there a heart in the house now?

Yea, stand up

Stand up
