Place That I Call Home (feat. ABDULLAH & Blvecasso)

And this place that I call home

I can feel the soul all in my bones

Hear it when I speak, it's in my tone

You know...

And this place that I call home

I can feel the soul all in my bones

Hear it when I speak, it's in my tone

You know...

I come from that West Side, which is the best side

You wanting to test drive? But this land where I reside

I'm from K-Town: Grenshaw and Keeler

Grew up in the 90's with the Bres and Divas

Learned the ways of the streets, from the robbers and thieves

Saw the OGs making the cheese, and never coppin no plea

The legacy of my hood was exciting to me

Chicago's forever home ,rocking science to me

But now I've moved on, getting my groove on

This here's my new home, residing in Vegas with boots on

Understand, I only been here less than a year

But my plan, ultimately, is retiring here

Hopefully, I get to build my future family here

See my kids growing up, evolve rapidly here

Take my career on a new level, gradually, here

Before I'm resting my head, and yes I'm happily here

And this place that I call home

I can feel the soul all in my bones

Hear it when I speak, it's in my tone

You know

And this place that I call home

I can feel the soul all in my bones

Hear it when I speak, it's in my tone

You know

As I carry the weight on my own two

Walking these Northwest streets and the vibe is zoo

Uh bank teller, fruit vendor, candy seller

And the women on the bikes and women in all leather

And the CVS will sit vacant

Cept for the kick flip kids and the ramps that they're making

And the brown bottle in the brown paper bag damn

Fenced off lot, with the sleeping bag man

To my neighbor with above ground pool

Got clean that mess out, yeah cuz it's fucking up my view

Thank you to my neighbor, bringing the hummus

Gotta clean the drain when it rain, call them plumbers

Big up my main man, Juan at Aztlan (Juan at Aztlan)

Carne asada you're making is just bomb (just bomb)

Head nods on the dog walks

Mundane in the frame till it pops off, Quon

And this place that I call home

I can feel the soul all in my bones

Hear it when I speak, it's in my tone

You know

And this place that I call home

I can feel the soul all in my bones

Hear it when I speak, it's in my tone

You know

Out west baby, 1436 North Lotus goin crazy

Block party central, BBQs going brazy

Hoop in the middle of the street, blocked off so the kids can just be

Reminiscence on them more times, a tear forms

Time pass like no other, it keeps going

But I still picture every night in my back yard

Trying to shoot just like Kobe, was trying to go far

Shoot for the stars, shorty with a vision

Blvecasso like Blue Line on Division

Grew up, knew I had to be a man on a mission

Cuz the streets could starve your soul if you was in em

Won't lie, tested the waters, I had to

Was enticing at the time, I thought it was all cool

Young man learning to play by his own rules

But please don't get twisted my igga I paid dues

What would I choose? The rack or my own life?

The city that I love put me into a dog fight

Age old story when you grow up in the trenches

But it made me who I am, and now I live my life relentless

The style just wild every time that I'm back home

Love my city, cuz my city gave me a backbone

Here to spread that light, baby come turn the lights on

How many features I'ma kill on these songs? Whoa
