Planet Earth was my place of birth
Born to be the sole controller of the universe
Besides the part of the map I hit first
Any environment I can adapt when it gets worst
The rough gets going, the going gets rough
When I start flowing, the mic might bust
The next state, I shake from the power I generate
People in Cali used to think it was earthquakes
'Cause times was hard on the Boulevard
So I boguard and never get scarred, I'm God
But it seems like I'm locked in hell
Looking over the edge but the R never fell
Or tripped or slipped 'cause my Nikes got grip
Stand on my own two feet and come equipped
Any stage I'm seen on, a mic I fiend on
I stand alone and need nothing to lean on
Going for self wit' a long way to go
So much to say but I still flow slow
I come correct and I won't look back
'Cause it ain't where you're from, it's where you're at

I learn to relax in my room and escape from New York
And return through the womb of the world as a thought
Thinking how hard it was to be born
Me being cream wit' no physical form
Millions of cells wit' one destination
To reach the best part, it's life creation
Nine months later, a job well done
Make way 'cause here I come
Since I made it this far, I can't stop now
There's a will and a way and I got the know-how
To be all I can be and more
And see all there is to see before
I'm called to go back to the essence
It's a lot to learn so I study my lessons
I thought the ghetto was the worst that could happen to me
I'm glad I listen when my father was rapping to me
'Cause back in the days, they lived in caves
Exiled from the original man, a strayed way
Now that's what I call hard times
I rather be here to exercise the mind
Then I take a thought around the world twice
From knowledge the form back to knowledge precise
Across the desert that's hot as the Arabian
But they couldn't cave me in 'cause I'm the Asian
Reaching for the city of Mecca, visit Medina
Visions of Nefertiti then I seen her
Mind keeps traveling, I'll be back
After I top and think about the brothers and sisters in Africa
Return the thought through the eye of a needle
For miles I thought and I just fought the people
Under the dark skies on a dark side
Not only there but right here's an apartheid
So now is the time for us to react
Take a trip through the mind and when you get back
Understand you're third eye seen all of that
It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at

No more props, I want property
In every borough, nobody's stopping me
Because I'm thorough, rhymes I make
Give me real estate for me to own
Wherever I bless a microphone, 007 is back and relaxing
On point an' reactin' and ready for action
I'm so low key that you might not see me
Incognito and taking it easy
Quiet, it's kept on a hush hush
In front of a crowd, I get loud, there's a bumrush
Be calm, keep a low pro and play the background
Hopin' the wack rapper'll put the mic back down
So rip it, break it in half, go head and slam it
'Cause when it's time to build, I'm a mechanic
I'm bonding and mending, attaching and blending
So many solos, there is no ending
People in my neighborhood, they know I'm good
From London to Hollywood, wherever I stood
Footprints remain on stage ever since
As I walk the street, I leave fossils and dents
When I had sex, I left my name on necks
My trademark was left throughout the projects
I used to get rich when I played cello
When I rolled four, five, six, they go we know
So I collect my cash then slide
I got my back, my gun's on my side
It shouldn't have to be like that
I guess it ain't where you're from, it's where you're at
