Verse 1
(C major) (G major)
(C major) Peace, (G major) peace, peace,
peace y'all! (C major)
(Strange) Real (G major) strange, real strange
(C major) (G major)
(C major)
(An overdose) A nickel (G major)
bag of funk (C major) (G major)
(We got (C major) beat)
Now move on,
(G major) move on, yeah (C major)
(Hey man, are you ready
to go?) Yeah (F major) (G major)
Verse 2
(C major) Boogie jive and rap is life
where I'm (G major) from
Where I'm from,
Ahmed play with Izzy where I'm from
Where I'm (C major) from,
it be like run your coat black
(G major) Jupiter, keeps her fat beats
by the pack
Where I'm (C major) from, nappy hair is life
We be reading (G major) Marx where I'm from
The kids be rockin' Clarks
where I'm (C major) from
You turn around your cap,
you talk over a (G major) beat
And dig some sounds boomin'
out a jeep
Where I'm (C major) from, cocoons hide the youth,
swoon units hundred (G major) proof
You want some beef,
they will cut you some
Where I'm (C major) from,
the beats is infinite where I'm from
(G major) Voodoo, ashubani, gangsta
lean where I'm (C major) from
I'm interplanetary,
my insect movements (G major) vary
It's kinky if it's hair, G, where I'm (C major) from
The firehoses blow,
it's purple wind and snow
I (F major) do a hit and go, split
(G major) It's (C major) hip, what's hip? When
hip is just the (G major) norm
'Cause Planets pledge allegiance
to the funk in all it's forms
The (C major) kinks, the dance,
the prints on all the (G major) shirts
My grandmother told mama
that it's Africa at work
On (C major) vibes, we freak,
them universal (G major) beats
You find it at the spot you hit
at ends of every week
We (C major) twist, exist, to spin the maddest hits
Up (G major) here funk is our neighbor
so we paid her a visit
The (C major) lip we sit can house the nine (G major) zips
For rock we can't do nothin',
for this we come equipped
Off (C major) disc, off tape,
rap blastin' two from (G major) eight
The really truly fat, the fly on the flip
(C major) Cocoa gotta know, how Planets,
gotta roll
(G major) Speak the mega cool, get funky as a goal
It's (C major) calm, relax,
we're only some new jacks
That (G major) acts from the (F major) funk but don't
(G major) play the role

(When'd you people (G major) start taking
an interest in black (C major) folks)
Never (F major) (G major)
Verse 4
(C major) Weekend Dig Plans got T's
where I'm from
Where I'm (G major) from,
it's Collins 13 where I'm (C major) from
Where I'm from,
brothers took the beats and got fly (G major)
(Why?) That's most asked by
85, where (C major) I'm from
Fakin' the funk you get did
(G major) Projects, tenements, pyramids
Where I'm (C major) from,
we're livin' off the boom boom (G major) crack
It's that hip hop (F major) rockers
jazz (G major) when I max
(C major) Peace be the greeting of the insect tribe
Pes (G major) tilent forces can't catch the vibe
We (C major) live to love and we love
to rock mics
We speak in ghetto (G major) tongue
'cause ghetto's the life
(C major) Food for thought so get a buffet plate
The lyr (G major) ics are so fat you might gain weight
So just (C major) watch me step alone,
into the sunset
Left foot, right foot, one,
(G major) two, mic check
(C major) Brewin' funk inside my soul kitchen
So (G major) pull up a chair here's a bit, have a listen
Of (C major) hardhead intervene (damn I know
you're fluent)
Yeah, 'cause (G major) Doodle ain't (F major) havin'
it and Butterfly knew (G major) it
Where you (C major) from?
(G major) (C major)
(F major) (G major)
Verse 5
(C major) Venus acts a fool at the square,
right? (G major) (Yeah)
Doctors engineer in apparel,
right? (C major) (Yeah)
Hip- hop made a point last year,
right? (Yeah)
But (G major) Planets is the joint this year,
right? (C major) (Yeah)
Planets got the dubs and
live to grass- hop
(G major) Duck out from the fuzz,
that sweat the hip- hop
(C major) Risin' like we foam,
get it from the dome
I'm from where the fat beats stretch
for mad blocks
We can get a kit, without, no bread
(G major) Feelin' funky beats go straight,
to the head
(C major) Fall into a club, dig on what we (G major) love
It be past six, before we reach bed
(C major) Butter freaks on relics we say,
those are fat
(G major) Doodle makin' silk,
LaQuan, where it's at?
We (C major) need to stack a set,
for rap to take a step
So (G major) we treat our (C major) clips,
just (F major) like, bustin' (C major) caps
Whip it 'til dawn, kick it 'til dawn
(G major) Hip- hop is the fix, or else, we be gone
(C major) People thought they canned it,
rap is not by bandits
(F major) Digable Planets got it, goin' (G major) on
Verse 6
(C major) Everywhere,
every every where (every where)
(G major) Everywhere,
every every where (C major) (yeah)
Everywhere,
every every where (G major) (yeah)
Everywhere,
every every where (C major) (yeah)
Everywhere,
every every where (yeah)
Everywhere,
every (G major) every where (every where)
Everywhere, every every (C major) where (every where)
