[Intro: Digable Planets, Butterfly]
Spaces and places we fly
Kicks are for places and spaces we fly
Space and all the fat places we fly
Butter, baby to the jazz
In the cut, dig it
[Verse 1: Butterfly]
Boogie jive and rap is life where I'm from
Where I'm from, Ahmad play with Izzy where I'm from
Where I'm from, it be like, "Run your coat, black"
Jupiter keeps her fat beats by the pack
Where I'm from, nappy hair is life
We be reading Marx where I'm from
The kids be rocking Clarks where I'm from
You turn around your cap, you talk over a beat
And dig some sounds booming out a jeep
Where I'm from, cocoons hide the youth
Swoon units hundred proof
You want some beef, they will cut you some
Where I'm from
The beats is infinite where I'm from
Voodoo, ashubani, gangsta lean where I'm from
I'm interplanetary, my insect movements vary
It's kinky if it's hair, G, where I'm from
The fire hoses blow, it's purple when it snow
I do a hit and go, split
It's hip, what's hip?
When hip is just the norm
'Cause Planets pledge allegiance to the funk in all its forms
The kinks, the dance, the prints on all the shirts
My grandmother told my mother it's Africa at work
On vibes, we freak, them universal beats
You find it at the spot you hit at ends of every week
We twist, exist to spin the maddest hits
Up here, funk is our neighbor so we paid her a visit
The lip we sip, can't house the nine zips
For rock we can't do nothing, for this we come equipped
Off disc, off tape, rap blasting 'til from 8
The really truly fat the fly on the flip
Cocoa gotta know how Planets gotta roll
Speak the mega cool, get funky as a goal
It's calm, relax, we're only some new jacks
That acts from the funk but don't play the role
Where you from?
Spaces and places we fly
Kicks are for places and spaces we fly
Space and all the fat places we fly
Butter, baby to the jazz
In the cut, dig it
